Relaxing and comfortable hookah lounge. Coming here since 2013, very welcoming, Great staff, good hookah. Chill and relaxing lounge, come here with my girlfriend on a weekly basis, we love it. If you have love for hookah and enjoy smoking the VIP hookah is the one to get. There is a sharing fee which is reasonable overall great place recommend anyone to come here. Open seven days a week 7-2am.

Best hookah I have ever smoked was at this place. It’s incredible how clean the place is. The VIP hookah is the way to go. Service is great the waitress checked on us frequently. The pricing is fair and the atmosphere is fun. Definitely recommend this place.

An expensive joint with a ton of hidden fees. Right from non smoker charges to repetitive service fees. We ordered one hookah with 2 bottles of water- smoked for one hr and paid $70. If youre looking for value for your money there are tons of other joints around that serve good hookah. Just google- some on Devon are a lot better.

Guys you need to check this place out, the ambience is great, customer service is on point, not pricey as mentioned in other reviews. I trusted the other reviews and did not visit this place and it was a grave mistake

The experience was ok. Very lacking. Our waitress came maybe 3 times to table. She was too busy sitting smoking with a group. Flavors were ok nothing dynamic. She talked us into 2 hookah but we could of done with one specially since she didnt keep up with keeping it burning

At one point this Hookah Joint had reputation for being the best, I went after 3 years and it shocked me how my Hookah was Awful and I had to wait for initial Charcoal set once I got my hookah Charcoal less, once I asked for the stick so I can do it myself I was refused, second time around I had to wait 10 mins for Charcoal, that when I just walked out, place wasnt busy at all.

Lots of options and cool atmosphere as well as awesome staff. However seating isnt very comfortable and for some reason it was very coolly like the temperature was kept low. My group had to keep our coats on to feel comfortable

The owner and the staff are amazingly friendly. They will always give recommendations based on your likes for hookah flavors. The atmosphere is great for a conversation with friends. There is music but its never too loud you cant hear your thoughts. The lights are also perfectly dim. Lastly, Mary has the best personality and will just brighten your day whenever shes there.

Always our go-to lounge. This is the premier Chicago hookah lounge we just don’t have anything else this low key, comfortable, and legit, anywhere else in town. Staff is friendly and the type to get to know you and remember your name for when you come back.

The place is good to hangout for beginners..but if you have been in to hookah from a long time... bummer this is not for you... And hookah lovers from other states I wouldn’t recommend it for you ( incase if your place don’t have any)... this place would be a good one if it had live music... and a big drop for me ‘NOOO FOOOD’ i am sorry but it is true...

I have been to maybe most of the Hooka bars in the Chicago area, but was never satisfied over all, until I recently I found this place, which has a truly excellent service, super inviting staff, owner himself always approach and ask if we need something, I also like the vibe of the place, most importantly to me the place looks super clean, and not to mention the hooka is very good

Review №31

I rarely leave bad reviews but I’m absolutely furious with the service and the prices. We ordered 2 hookah’s and 4 bottles of water - our total was $118. BEWARE of this place! And one of the hookah’s weren’t even smoking properly. He came to fix it 4 times and we finally gave up on it. If you want to pay more than you get then this is it. I’m soooo disappointed with this is. I’m from Dallas and there are hookah bars that are very fancy and nice and if a group of us went we would barely be paying $40 TOTAL WITH TAXES! Wish they had the decency to inform that they take only cash. We had to use the atm in there to take out cash and had to pay service fee for the atm. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!

A place with good comfy leather couches and setups at each table. Chill atmosphere. Ambience is relaxing and quite spacious too..Has a huge selection of flavors. Provides bottle service for outside drinks. You can bring your own food or get it delivered..Cons : Can be a little pricey as they have rules like charging per person (smoker / non smoker) and some time limit thing too..🔸Please hit like if you found this helpful. Thanks!🔸Follow me for more.

My friends and I loved this place. We had a big group of 20 and Tim the owner took really good care of us. Hookah guy was so helpful with flavors to pick. We did have a problem with a hookah but it was quickly fixed. Service and ambience is wonderful. It wasn’t too expensive at all our bill was $280 for 20 people, can’t beat that. Will be visiting the spot again

I’ve been to many hookah lounges ok, and pretty good, but this is the best hookah lounge I’ve been to yet. Great place, if your looking for a place to chill and have a good experience this is definitely the place for you. Amazing service unlike any other place. Also, this place in not overpriced like all the other hookah lounges in Illinois. Their are multiple different hookahs to smoke out of on top of a variety of flavors. You can also get a entire area for a party or if your going with a very big group. Overall the best hookah lounge in Illinois.

Review №39

+5 for style, private and comfy seating, and cleanliness. Good selection of hookahs and tobacco.-1 for cost, but you get what you pay for.Literally have travelled the world in search of good hookah lounges & this one ranks among the top. Really rare to find a place with good 5 piece couch/chair setups at each table, and enough tops that regulars we met had never even needed to talk to new people. Ran like a restaurant.Has a good selection of PG drinks and snacks. Provides bottle service for outside drinks and food delivery common.

What a great spot to be on the weekends!! The ambience is relaxing and spacious! I loved how my friends and I were not scrambled to sit so close to other customers. The couches are very comfortable too!The service is excellent! My friends did not like the hookah flavor they chose, the staff switched our flavor with no charge since it was our first time. We decided to allow them to choose our flavor, which was the Kush special. The flavor BLEW our mind because the flavor is so unique you can not find this anywhere! I took some home that’s how great it was!!The prices are reasonable...... I’ve read many reviews and it’s mind blowing how cheap people can be!!! Also, the hat rule? I saw customers wearing hats, so possibly they changed their policy?Anyways, thank you for the hospitality Kush Hookah Lounge! My friends and I will be back again!!!

The establishment was amazing. Very clean with great music. Came with 15 people and we all had a blast. Our bill came out to be $190. For 15 people that’s cheap. Hookahs hit great and lasted for 1 hr and half. Various drink selections and they also have BYOB with a small service charge.

What an experience. Never have I ever smoked such amazing hookah. The flavor lasted for about two hours. The place was very busy and very classy. Customer service was excellent the waitress always check on us every 15 minutes.It wasn’t too expensive for the four of us we spent $80 which is not bad at all the music was perfect they played variety of songs with videos. I definitely recommend this place for people to try.

I’m a huge hookah smoker. This place made me feel like I was back home. The service is great, no other hookah lounge in Chicago goes out of there way to make sure your hookah is great. Very impressed. This will be my new go spot. Everyone should give Kush a shot. The owner is a great guy.👍🏻

Had a wonderful experience at this establishment. Our waiter was named Liz and she was such a pleasure to interact with. She was attentive and patient I would recommend anyone who visits to ask for her to be your waiter. I also recommend that you try the “flavors of Liz” they blend so well together!! I will be raving about this place forever. ❤️

Hookah on point. Owner is very nice. The service was great. Hookah wasn’t hitting right and I called over a worker and he immediately fixed it. Pricing is very reasonable, especially for the atmosphere and cozy interior. By far the nicest hookah lounge in Chicago.

The place is pretty decent. People mind their business. Prices have been to known to be a bit high. Theres plenty of other good hookahs bars out there that are a lot less. However, if you dont mind spending a little bit extra by all means try it out. Great service.

This is by far one of the BEST Hookah Lounges in the Chicago Area. The owner Tim understands and knows how to keep his establishment successful. The hookahs are top-notch KM hookahs from Egypt. The staff is amazing and has no problems answering questions. Its normally packed on the weekends so make a reservation. The atmosphere is elegant and inviting. Its worth every dollar spent.

Great hookah. I love the atmosphere. Very chill, and very relaxing. The best place to just sit down and chill with friends. Hate that they went cash only, but nice that they have a ATM at back with a $.03 fee. Still, kind of inconvenient. Although, it is a great place to go for hookah. I highly recommend.

Review №65

Let’s start by saying this place is really cool and inviting. I read that some people saying it’s to expensive. Are you kidding me people. I went with a girlfriend and I paid $23 for two people. That’s $11.50 per person. If people can’t afford to spend $11.50 to smoke amazing hookah in a cool place they should stay home. What do you people think it’s free to run a business. Anyways, try the Chicago Special it’s my favorite. Really busy on the weekends call to reserve your spot. Will be back again

I absolutely love Kush Hookah lounge. The atmosphere is completely relaxing for a night by yourself or with a group of friends. You can study, or have fun! Id recommend to study during the weekdays. Weekends may be a distraction. The flavors are amazing. Their service is the best! Way better than most places I go!

I’ve been a solid customer at Kush Hookah Lounge for many years. The owner Tim has always been welcoming to his customers and the staff will fix any issues with your hookah until it’s within your satisfaction, whether you like it strong, or light, or maybe you don’t even like the flavor!!!!! They’re always so accommodating when I don’t like the flavor I choose! Also, I’ve never been to another hookah lounge that is as clean, the bathrooms are well kept and they clean the facility and hookahs daily. Bahama mama is my favorite flavor!!

Review №76

Definitely not a fun place. Over-Priced for the Quality of Hookah, Not enough flavor options, and their pipes don’t release enough smoke. Everyone appeared to have a hard time releasing smoke from their hookah. Their coal burns way toooooooo fast. There’s no brush to clean the burnt coal from the stand, and you’re left alone to do the work.

Review №81

Great place awsome prices. What’s funny people expect to come to a business and just chill and take up space without getting nothing. I read a review from Mr. S M and died laughing. So your saying that if one person smokes everyone should not have to pay nothing if they wanted to chill. Just simple thinking. A place holds 10 people. 1 smokes and pays and 9 chill and don’t pay. Easy question how long does business stay open. Just a thought. This place is fair for what you get. It’s a place of business non for profit business. 😂😂to Mr. SM

Review №91

Was so disappointed with my service. The hookah was unsmokable the entire time. The male waiter was irritated every time we asked him to change the coal and would roll his eyes even if we asked for water. He does not belong in customer service. Should have been comped for the hookah since we couldn’t even smoke it. On top of that, they only take cash... which is shady. Probably because everyone ended up disputing their charges for the lack of service. Will never return or recommend this spot to anyone else in the future. Garbage hookah bar. Ruined my birthday. What s waste of time and money.

This place is my go to spot. Customer for years now. Hookahs are great and if they are bad they change it out immediately to make you happy. Pricing is fair..usually comes out to $10 a person which is cheap if you think about it. Been to several hookah places and this is my favorite; it’s clesn, service is great, and very modern inside compared to other places. Highly recommended..
