mushrat Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 At a hookah bar, would you prefer to sit on a couch, a futon, or regular table and chairs? Why? Thanks again..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessai Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 If I went to a hookah bar I would prefer a couch with a hookah on the floor, because that my setup at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Couch, or really comfy chairs, hookah on the floor if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthEastSmoker Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Regardless if it's couches or chairs, I would say that you would want something with people facing each other (think circle).. smoking hookah is all about socializing and philosophizing (is that a word? ) I would say comfortable chairs in a loose circle around a hookah on a floor near a coffee/end table.. make for the easiest hookah access and setup, yet also allows for the best face-to-face conversation with whomever you are smoking with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 More of a padded bench than an actual couch or futon... something that you could sit on and be cozy with the gf, but you don't sink into it like a couch. I don't like low, big-coushined couches that make me feel trapped in it once I sit down. Could have the benches against the wall facing little tables (for drinks) with a chairs on the other side of the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I love the individual papasan type chairs. That's what i've been smoking at the semi-local hookah bar and it's great cause you can sit forward or lean back and just chill and enjoy the experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Couches would be best, but take up much more space. Maybe you could set up a few couches in select locations, and the rest just chairs. The couches would be first come first serve, and the chairs should hopefully be compfy chairs atleast, with padding. The few lounges I've been to had pretty stiff, uncomfortable chairs...

Macho555 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I usually smoke on my futon with my mini-hookah, but I would go with the padded bench idea, because it seems more versatile than a couch or futon would... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownZero Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I would go with Some sort of padded chairs.. to have the comfy arm rests and be able to easily move the chairs as needed to access the hookah and position yourself w/ friends. At least something better than lawn chairs. Thats what the local bar here has.. just regular stackable, plastic lawn chairs. But for a "intimate" time w/ a significant other, a couch.

EliteHookah.com Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I've never been a fan of restaurant style table and chairs. It just doesn't seem comfortable enough or appropriate to the activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtemes Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I'm all about the middle-eastern style room with carpets and coushins on the floor. Or benches with coushins on them. But like northeastsmoker said you gotta be facing eachother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 the best would be low semicircular benches or firm couches surrounding a low table. kind of like a semicircular booth but not as poofy and lower. otherwise nice chairs around a low table or benches.

cityboyyy Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 definately a comfy couch or beanbag .... it puts you in the ultimate relaxation mode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4r80n Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 hey yeah, beanbags!couches are nice, placed in an L or U formation around a low table. If the chair thing, make sure they are comfortable. But then you'd need a regular table so you don't feel weird just sitting in a chair with nothing in front of you.i'd perfer a lazyboy, that would be awesome.

mushrat Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Thanks folks! I'm leaning toward couches arranged around a low table. To be honest, I was originaly thinking futons, they are lower and easier to relax into... or But since the majority of you are in favor of couches..I guess I'd better start looking at those too. Keep the comments coming though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 How about benches around the store's interior, and chairs completing circles with the benches? Easily configurable space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4r80n Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Oh man those are nice looking.Futons work fine.At the place I went to they had crummy looking couches (used) and they wern't that comfortable. Basically I think they just looked through the paper finding people giving away couches and went and picked them up.You could do that too as long as they arn't too love-stained.

Catalyst Paintball Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Futon are pretty price effective too!They all come from some place in Asia, and you can generally work out deals on multiples through furniture outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Cool, thinking of couches/futons around the outer perimeter, regular table and chairs in the center area... Going to serve sandwiches and platters so we're looking for a regular non-smoking lunch crowd during the day as well as folks in for a smoke. So we need a place for them to sit. Also some folks might like to sit in a real chair to drink and eat. Considering using primarily QT's with some traditional hookahs availible. I say this because they are low and stable, less likely to be tipped over or stepped on by customers who have been drinking. Alos less likely to be pulled over when someone yanks on a hose. They look nice and smoke VERY well. I guess I could post the preliminary menu... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
