It's french. Anyway, I agree, looks great. Too bad it's in CO, because I will not be able to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scheetz Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 how many people can your lounge seat? Im curious cause it looks like you guys set it up so there was plenty of moving space. Which I prefer over the packed in cattle style. also I see some speakers, you just playing music or do you have a TV or two set up for music videos? excellent lounge though. I would love to go there, just halfway across the country for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalliwag Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I'm eagerly looking forward to how opening night went. I hope it was packed and the people were shelling out $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alqoshnia Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 very nice although i would be VERY careful not to drop a piece of charcoal on the wooden floor. That would be a pain in the ass to repair I would assume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding_Heart1 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 What if its concrete painted to look like wood? Ha. I worked at a resturaunt that did that. Its amazing how real you can get it to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Either that, or a special coating on the wood? I'm sure you can get something that makes it kinda heat resistant so that it wouldn't burn all the way through, you might just get a small scar if anything... and even then, that would kinda give it that rustic feel to the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheetz Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 carpet would have been a better decision because we have all been there, when that coal falls and puts a huge hole right through that nice new carpet. i do want to know how opening night went.

Halon Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Well I just got back from there. Overall it's a very chill and classy place. Even my girlfriend loved it, and she hates how much I smoke hookah, lol. The people who work there are awesome and very friendly. The music is cool. Not lyricy top-40 junk, but more clubbish. They serve Al-waha, Havana, and Romman. They had regular hookahs and rotators with cobra hoses, which paired with the shisha offered leads me to think they get their stuff from h-s.com. Not a bad deal at all. Prices are like $2 more than the other local hookah lounge I've been to, but that place is run by college kids in a house. I'd gladly pay the difference to go to an upscale lounge like this one. The bowls are also the larger ones that come with the hinged wind cover. The seating is cool, and seems very spaced out/private. No feelings of claustrophobia. There's two TVs that almost everyone can see with movies and whatnot on them, and the lighting is not too dim but not too bright. Their staff seemed to be more-than-well-equipped in the knowledge department and were always coming around and talking with us/seeing how we were doing. They handled the chaos that I would assume is ever-so-present on an opening night extremely well. A person tipped their hookah over enough to dislodge the bowl and send it crashing to the floor, and the situation was handled very calmly and professionally. Go Fast energy drinks was also there, and they had a really nice lady representing them who gave us some free energy drinks. Not to mention she was hella cute . I was impressed enough that I decided to buy a membership card for $15, which gets me 5 buy one get one free's on hookahs and 15% off all purchases there. I couldn't imagine starting a hookah bar better than this one. It was opening night, I had '01' on my receipt, and the experience was pretty much flawless. I guess I'm just a snob, but I was kinda hoping they would have had Fumari tobacco there. I just love how smooth and flavory that stuff is, and it just looked from the pictures like the type of lounge that would have it. That was the only thing I could have been more impressed with. But realistically, though, I'm perfectly content with Romman and Havana. So no complaints from me, and I'll definitely be going back plenty of times before college starts again.

It'd be cool to shoot the sh*t with a fellow HF member.TYLER[/quote] I am in the process of buying property in north New Mexico (Chama) and will be going there to visit hopefully by October. I have a friend in Manitoo Springs I am planning on visiting. The gameplan as it sits is to go there the day before heading back to Texas. It's 250 miles from Chama so I would stay the night there and what better place to spend at least a few hours than a good hookah lounge? I will be sure to post you on it.
