Fumari Lounge In San Diego


Recommended Posts

hey, everyone. sorry i've been gone for so long. i've been out to sea. our ship is in San Diego, now and i decided to go visit the Fumari Hookah Lounge on G St. Great tobacco, but i was expecting more out of the lounge. especially since i had to pay $9.50 for one hookah session!! ZOMG! and that's the "happy hour" price. the normal price is about 20 bucks! (refills: $9.50). that is way to steep for me to do more than a couple times. i can't blame them, though. Everything is more expensive in Cali.
on the flip side: i gotta hand it to california. they allow thier hookah lounges to sell alchohol. That is unheard of in Virginia. with the smoking ban, it makes it really hard.
it's a good lounge, though. when i went, they were playing jazz music and had a really chill environment. The manager said that the hookahs they use there are KM's. i had never smoked out of a KM hookah before and it was pretty good. i got to drink a few of Fat Tire beers. smoke with a buddy from my ship. The folks there were really nice and i look forward to going back again. good time.

has anyone else been here? what do you think of this place?
know of any other good hookah lounges in that same area? i heard there is one down the street that i may try.

Last time I went by Fumari there was a line out the door. No way will you catch me lining up to spend $20 on a hookah. The place is a little too trendy for my taste but if you're into that sort of thing (which downtown generally is) then I'm sure it's enjoyable.

There are a good few downtown, some sell beer, others don't. There are also a fair amount of hookah lounges by State.

wow, so a little more searching on google showed me that Eric's Tangiers lounge in in San Diego. (i thought it was in LA. oops.)

awesome!

so, i'm going to plan a trip there. i'll have to take the bus from North Island, though and i'm not sure how well that'll work out.
i can't wait. this is something i've wanted to do ever since i heard of that lounge, but i never thought i'd be within spitting distance from it. haha.
