jcasny Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 So I am in the process of constructing my business plan for a hookah bar and had some difficulty coming up with cool innovative original names that relate somewhat to its intrinsic heritage. I did have a 40thieves spark but soon realized it was actually pretty common so any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. If your name is chosen for the bar I will def light you up for free with any drinks or food you'd like. No visit restrictions and extremely grateful... Just don't put me out of business =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcasny Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 haha dont worry about it 'Rani, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated and might possibly spark the imagination of other ppl. and thank you for the effort to ask your friend - The bar will be located in the tri-state area of New York. an exact location is unknown for right now as I am currently researching which is the best location according to population diversity, demographics and research market analysis.

I am looking to potentially build my resume so would be happy to do something simple for free (this goes for any hookah bars on here). When I say simple I mean some photos, a flavor menu/prices etc, all that kind of stuff. (I have a business license for this stuff).

Tyler Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I have the idea of opening a hookah bar called Ifrit's Castle where the inside has like a spanish blood red wall, and fire colors and stuff like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcasny Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thanks Vlad..def like shisha shanty, but i dont think that the majority of novice hookah goers or newcomers will recognize the connection instantly. That website offer is also great but a bit premature at the stage I am on currently.However, expect to hear from me in the coming weeks as my business evolves into reality.- I also should post some attributes of what i imagine my hookah bar to look like so you guys can come up with personolized responses.I am looking to create a sort of exclusive but not really bar that sits on the second floor of a busy street that is an active nightlife hub. It will feature low lights, artsy feel to it as a young demographic is most common. couches where people can relax... a low kinda modern music is playing as people order drinks such as coffee, tea (maybe liquor) to go with simple food dishes and their hookah.

jcasny Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) FSU, sounds like the beginnings of a great Idea. Not sure if I in particular am on the same page.Vlad - that would work except i like word of mouth more than corporate branding and established ads, I like the idea that not everyone knows what we do so in retrospect, it is def a possibility.

Rani Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Also..... You might want to check both Encyclopedia Mythica and Wikipedia online. Wikipedia especially has many words related to hookah including what it's called around the world. And some very interesting information including tobacco companies admitting hookah is likely not harmful. 'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(blushing)....One of the words I came across on Encylopedia Mythica was "Tuat". Ancient Egyptian for the Other World. Something about that is appealing to my romantic side.

antouwan Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Charley, just so you know, the pronunciation of that arabic provided sounds horrible. depending on where you're from it would sound like either 1. MSA - dukhaana 3ala al ma-eh maqha or 2. chami colloquial - dukhaan 3ala al my ma'hames idees:Hookah HideoutHookah HutHyram's Hookahs (i love the alliteration Chez el Arguileh (personal fav)Charbel's Chicha/Shisha (maybe too much Lebanon here haha)buy an old seafood restaurant that's shaped like a boat and call it the S.S.
