LOL Dis and AngelV. Now I know that if Dis is giving someone crap, we all better high tail it out of there,
since you two are going to be worthless. Don't worry... Hellen will be there! (I'd just knock someone out by wacking them with my 50lb purse packed with all my
vaping gear since I can't run in high heels)
Good idea SS... Nothing worse than having overworked wait staff when you want a beer, LOL. We probably will have 15-25 (2 un-members can't join the VIP forum right now because they are suppliers would come and so far there are 18 signed up). Hopefully, ECF Admin. will allow them to join here.
The only place I can think of where we'll be guaranteed to be able to smoke is outdoors at a Hookah bar. Arizona state law prohibits smoking inside any business or bar
but hookah lounges are excepted. Cigarette smoking is usually not allowed inside hookah bars.
The Red Sea sounded best to me. Bar next door... get a beer and bring it to the Hookah outdoor area (it is allowed), food served outside (and we can vape/smoke). Not too upscale (these I listed are very casual, there are others but they seemed more formal with ethnic dining, etc.). Here are the the reviews that I found on line:
Red Sea Cafe
827 S. Rural Rd. Tempe, AZ 85281 480-966-2401
Review: Nice place, nice furniture, clean hookahs with screens and not foil, attentive staff, table games. Excellent pub food from next door is served, but no dining tables are in the hookah lounge. You pretty much eat off your lap or set your food on a low table or folding tray provided. Coffees, teas and other drinks also served, but no liquor.
In a town that bans indoor cigarette smoking in public places, you may smoke here. Splash brand maassell (50g) sold to go as well as replacement parts for your hookah. Variable availability on flavors, but when they have them all, it's an impressive selection. Prices: $6.00 per bowl, $2.00 cover.
Sunday Special: $3.00 cover, $3.00 bowls! A LITTLE-KNOWN SECRET: Arrive between 4pm and at least 15 mins before 8pm on a weekday. They have a happy hour special that coincides with the Devil House, the bar next door. Hookahs are only $5.00 if you get a pint next door for $2.00! (I think I'm the only one who knows.) You can't bring the beer into the hookah lounge, and you can't bring the hookah into the bar because of the Tempe smoking ordinance, so enjoy BOTH on the patio! A white peach hookah and a pint or two on the patio can't be beat! Pay and tip the outdoor bar server with the NEW DOLLAR COINS for a lark. Website
Hookahs Hookah Smoke: Red Sea, Inc. Offering Hookahs & Red Sea Hookah Lounge & Red Sea Hookah Cafe
And a couple of other contenders:
Trick Shot Billiards and Hookah
3510 E. Bell Rd. Phoenix, AZ 85032 (602)788-7665
This is a new pool hall that also serves hookah! Very relaxed atmosphere, it is casual and friendly. Has 11 pool tables, snacky type foods like pizza poppers and mozerella sticks, plus video games and air hockey. Music is a jukebox or whatever the owner is playing in his system if the jukebox is not going. TVs to watch sports, and a small lounge if hookah is your only interest. Nice new hookahs, and a large variety of tobacco to smoke, but none to buy as of yet.
Silver Q Billiards
6670 W. Cactus Road, Glendale, AZ 85304 Phone 623-776-2266
Hours: 3 p.m.- 2 a.m. M-Thursday and on Sundays 3 p.m.- 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturdays.
Havana brand masell is served for $9.00 per bowl, mixed flavors at no additional cost. For those who haven't had Havana brand, it's much better and smoother than Al Waha or Nakhla, and about 75% of Al Fakher quality, with great flavors of the brand. Pool tables as well of course, and TVs and music galore with an internet jukebox. Food available as well. Hookahs and masell are for sale here.
I've never been to one, never smoked hookah. Anybody? I wouldn't mind smoking a legal
bowl, lol. At least we can get a beer next door and bring it over at Red Sea... nobody should say spit... if you smoke, you can light one up too.
