contristo Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 My girlfriend and I have been to a variety of hookah bars around the city -- Prince's in Tenleytown and Georgetown, Queen's in Adams Morgan (horrible), Zahara in Georgetown, etc... none have matched the quality of the Mini Diva that I prepare on campus.I'm not a fan of DC... never have been. I'm transferring out of here next year. To sort of liven up a rainy Saturday where smoking on campus is impossible because of the rain, I was wondering if anyone here had suggestions for a very good hookah bar in DC. We know a thing or two about hookah, so we're not looking for an introductory experience... just some good and relaxing hookah indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticus Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 It sorta depends where you are. The best places actually in Washington are (in my opinion) outside of the district in Virginia. However, since your a student living in the district (like myself) you probably don't have access to a car to drive out there. Is Zahara the place attached to a bookstore in Georgetown? I have been there and it is probably the best I have been to inside of the district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boricua Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 DC is a great town I agree Zahara is good. When I went there in the middle of winter they did have a place sort of 'inside' Their patio has a tarp and heat lamps. Coming from a tropical climate myself, I can't stand the cold and that place felt nice.Also, Shisha Cafe in Crystal City is pretty nice. Very authentic food, arabic music, and ok hookah. Only downside is I wish their seats were more comfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybersist Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I was at the Prince Palace a while back (I think it was Georgetown, near the canal) and it wasn't bad at all.... but its hit and miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
