I loved the atmosphere in here. DJ played great music , the bartenders were super cool. The hookah was fun nice vibes and the flavor was good. I definitely have to visit again.

This was a nice little spot down town and I would definitely come back here; went on a Sunday and the DJ was amazing! The set up of the bar was really cozy and the restrooms were surprisingly really clean. The only reason I'm giving this place a 4/5 is because the prices are overpriced. For a small hookah it was $60 and for a bigger one it was $80 and to refill was $26. I've never paid more the $45 - $50 for a hookah; a big one at that. Very overpriced

Pros: Great Hookah Bar overall, pat down for your safety, friendly staff, various of flavors of hookah, clean bathroom, Great DJ, music was on point!Cons: Hookah too expensive ($57), I have experienced similar hookahs in Germany, Korea, UK and Japan for only $20-$25 at most, Place too Small. No Menu for the Hookah, please at least make a sign or place a menu online for your customers with a QR Code with the pricing.Thanks for having me!

I'm a bartender. I know shots are 1.5 ounces. I went and the bartender poured me a $10 tequila shot that was .5 of an ounce. I don't know if he was tired or bored or what... but I was appalled. I go to this bar often. It's usually fun. It was a shame to have this experience.

I visited Orlando for a week for a case before the District Court. After eating dinner at the Gitto's pizza next door I dropped in here to have couple of beers and listen to music. People were nice and welcoming. I worried I looked out of place as I had to dress up for my court appearance but instead the DJ complement my outfit and I bought him a beer. What can I say, if you are in Orlando and just wanna listen to Great music and enjoy yourself without being bothered by anyone then I don't see why not you should pay this place a visit. Thank you Side Bar..
