There are many Hookah Lounges all over now… I sure wish they could bring this one back! It was still the BEST Hookah Lounge I’ve ever been to. It was just… #Fab

Leave it to Unilocal to tell me my favorite hookah bar is no longer open! NO! Ahh! This was the best place to go, especially when I had no internet in my apartment. I was such a regular, they always remembered my rose hookah, and grilled cheese with pasta salad and water. Always so relaxing and enjoyable! I was missing it before but now I will truly miss it! Good thing I was updating my reviews today because I was just about to suggest to friends that we go here!

I really enjoyed coming to this place so I’m very disheartened to see that it’s now closed. It appears that they’re relocating but I hope they stay in Hyde Park. I don’t think there are any other hookah lounges on the southside, sadly.

This is one of my favorite places to relax and chill… I have absolutely nothing to say about this place except that I hate the watered down soap in the bathroom lol… The manager is super cool and always ensures our groups enjoy our time… definitely a go to spot if you’re looking for hookah and cheap prices… andddd who can beat BYOB???

A nice, long smoke in a comfortable spot. Friendly staff took good care of the coals.

This was my first hookah experience so I didn’t have any high expections my hubby and I arrived at midnight Saturday .The place closes at 2am so we had plenty of time so I thought, the things are huge there is no way to finish unless there a party of four or more. The cost is affordable it was 15.00 for a purple haze which one of the workers said was most popular. This place is also BYOB is great its only 1.00 for a cup of ice. I was totally relaxed and didn’t want to leave ! I mean we were puff puff and passing and sipping the night away. This a good spot to chill or wind down where it be a long day at the JOB or your night cap on date night which it was for me. It was intimate and warm and inviting you can sit up front to people watch or head up stairs where its more secluded and hidden to get you in the mood for whatever when you leave !

Noon Hookah is practically an extension of my living room. It’s one of my favorite places to spend an evening. You can often find me in their cozy back room with a few friends, a couple of hookahs, a bunch of bottles, and our favorite board or card games. They have a large selection of tobacco, including both classic and unusual flavors. I love«Adiós, MF», which we tried for the first time when a friend broke up with his significant other. It has a nice blueberry flavor. The hookahs last a really long time– we often stay for 3 – 4 hours, and I don’t think we’ve ever finished one. The staff is always attentive, bringing fresh coal frequently enough to keep the smoke billowing. The owners are really cool, nice guys. I love this place!

I like the atmosphere, all of the seats are comfortable and youre close enough to people to laugh at one anothers jokes but far enough away to focus on who youre with. Late on a Saturday night, everyone was drinking, which made it even more of a lax fun atmosphere. The variety of shisha was awesome, and the staff was pretty attentive. I knocked a star off because when you are operating a hookah establishment you should probably have a variety of hookahs. They didn’t have ANY with more than one hose… what? That just seems illogical to me when you want bigger groups to come in. When I smoke hookah I need some water to prevent the cotton mouth and I think its bogus when an establishment will force you to pay for a bottle of water, even though they sell cups for alcohol.

I live just down the street from Noon Hookah and was excited to discover it, as it would save me the long bus ride up north if the urge struck. The first time I went in was just to grab a coffee to go. The place is small, quiet, and unassuming, with a nice atmosphere(though if you’re there in the winter, the front room can get quite cold, with all the windows and no shelter from the door). The coffee was excellent, so a few weeks later, a friend and I went back for sandwiches, tea, and a hookah. The sandwiches are good, but nothing extraordinary. They are really inexpensive though, so that’s a bonus. Noon has a great selection of tobaccos, and the staff is good about keeping the hookah burning. A few times, I’ve been in and the place has been too crowded for the one person who is usually working at the time, so the wait has been long(there are books and games to keep you busy, if you haven’t brought your own). I’ve also been hassled a bit by staff for not ordering quickly enough. I’ll order a sandwich and tea, and even when I assure them that I’ll order a hookah after I’m done eating, they’ve stood over me and told me I can’t take too long unless I’m going to get a hookah. I guess that’s the downside of being a small establishment. And that’s the main reason they get 3 stars. The place is chill… except for when the workers have had too much caffeine, perhaps!

The hookah is good. I’ve never had a bad hookah. But the sandwiches are better. OMG the sandwiches. This place needs to sell wine and beer, though.

One of the few occasions where I had a satisfactory evening of shisha. Where I didn’t get ripped off, weren’t surrounded by obnoxious people, had fresh furniture, and the hookah was quality. The place is quite small, so if you want a section for your group like the picture I posted, you should make a reservation. Another bonus: lavazza coffee

While I havent actually sat down and smoked at Noon, I live across the street from it and regularly purchase tobacco for my own hookah. I have been given a little tour and have had several conversations with the owners, and the place, while small, has an amazing atmosphere and is run by some really cool people. If i didnt have my own hookah I would definitely frequent this hookah lounge

I love this place! It’s a couple of blocks from my house, the guys who run it are incredibly chill, and I have yet to have a bad hookah flavor! Due to some medication I’m on right now, I can’t drink, so a lot of hangouts are not terribly fun places to be. This, however, is really wonderful. I can’t reccomend it enough. If you are in Hyde Park, you need to go here.

I stopped by the lounge(after passing it countless times and thinking I SHOULD check it out) on a Friday evening. We got the last table(there were only two of us) and proceeding to watch several groups of 4 – 8 people come in replacing others as they exited. We tried the melon tobacco and had a couple of hot teas, and enjoyed it all. Both of the guys who work there/own it? were friendly, relaxed and helpful. The space is definitely tight when all seats are occupied, but it’s not like your running around the place. I’ll definitely be back to try the sandwiches, try some of the coffee drinks, and smoke a little more. A great Hyde Park gem.
