    6328 Richmond Ave, Houston, TX 77057 (map)

    While a little out of the way, this hookah bar specializes in quality tobacco and a large room filled with plenty of air circulation, not to mention delicious food, live dance performances, and a superb staff. I feel that this hookah joint often goes neglected when it comes to its comparison to the real thing!

  2. 2 3.5 Star Rating: Average La Fendee

    1402 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77006 (map)

    While it is not open as late as some other hookah joints, it makes up for it with its prime location on Westminster that is within walking distance of some of Montrose's premier coffee houses and bars. The food is a welcome change from any of the other establishments surrounding it and it's out of the way feel gives you your own privacy as you watch the rest of the city pass you buy. Relaxation has a name!

    5613 Morningside Dr, Houston, TX 77005 (map)

    With its recent renovation and its expansion to the mail store, it now has its own building. An amazing restaurant with a colorful staff, this place now offers hookah after dinner dies down to help you ease into relaxation. The only downside is finding a parking place; after that you are blessed with 'keyif', a word in Turkish meaning relaxation and piece of mind. This place is totally legit!

  4. 4 3.5 Star Rating: Average O2 Bar

    914 Prairie Street, Houston, TX 77002 (map)

    We've heard it from real estate dealers, but this place definitely drives the point home; location, location, location! Located right next to Discovery Green, this place offers a quality hookah experience. With great music and a lively crowd this place is great place to enjoy with friends. If you are looking for a more relaxing scene to smoke, you may want to go elsewhere.
