Intense Clouds Hookah Lounge

Love this place in Old Sac. My friends and I come here at least every other week. We’ve been coming here since they opened. The staff here are super chill and nice and the lounge is really cool. I love that it’s upstairs and you can play your own music if you ask.

Prior to ordering we had to call the staff over to help us. It was kind of hard to hear the guy due to the music being blown right behind us. Then we asked if they have fumari products to serve which then came out to an additional 5 $ fee on top of their regular price hookah. After ordering we were told to sit anywhere we would like. The lighting was very dark as well as the shower curtains that are hung up with a string between each booth. The couches were very uncomfortable that had a bunch of black duck tape on them. After waiting for about 15 – 20 min to get our hookah out on a Monday night which was fairly small crowded, the hookah came out burnt with 2 big charcoals on top of them. The bowl was not even packed right and on top of that a 23 $ hookah shouldn’t be served out to a customer like that. The flavor that we had ordered was not what we got. I had been to lots of hookah lounges in Sacramento and this had to be one of the worst ones I had yet visited. I would most definitely recommend anyone to take your precious money some place else that will be worth spending. I am only giving this 1 star review because Unilocal likes to be nice.

Yuck yuck yuck I been to this place a few times and it never improves. The douch decided to charge us $ 5 extra for a 3^rd person even tho we were the only people in there. We sat down and the seating was very uncomfortable. I could feel the wood in the chairs. Our hookahs arrived and I can tell the hookahs were not made correctly, and the charcoals were huge. I hated the hookahs. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Hookahs do not hit. Environment was horrible. The service wasn’t good either. I didn’t like anything about my experience.

My second time coming here when I’m in town and I still love this place! Met the owner tonight and he is super nice! I almost feel like a regular lol

I’ve been to this place a couple times and every time I go they are very nice and have GREAT customer service. There hookah is good depending on which flavors you get. Definitely one of the best hookah spots in town.

Been going here a good solid 5 times and they have great service. I truly recommend it! Nothing but good things to say about intense clouds they have the best hookah around.

Love this place!
I have come here a couple of times first off, and I have never been disappointed. The service is great! The owners make sure to help you out in choosing the flavor for you.
Also, the ambience is wonderful. If you go any days besides Thursday-​Saturday, you are allowed to play your own music which is a great perk! However, on Thursdays-​Saturdays, there are music videos playing which adds to the great ambience!
The couches are super comfortable and it is a great place to have fun with friends and an overall chill spot.
There isn’t any alcohol sold inside, however, there is a full bar downstairs. So once you finish your drink, you can continue the party upstairs.
Will definitely come back! :)

This used to be my chill spot before I got pregnant and couldn’t smoke hookah anymore lol me and my friends would come out here a couple nights a week and get a couple flavors. I remember they always played the newest music! It was great! We had so much fun dancing all night! And it’s right on top of all the bars! Run downstairs, take a shot, run back upstairs! Lmao I haven’t been here in a while though!

Just stopped by, no one is there, it’s 10pm on a Saturday… the only people who were inside where sitting on the other side of the room smoking, no one dared coming to sit us… we left & I’m happy we did :)

I went with my sister and my husband and some of my sisters friends whom I’ve never met until that night.
We were all there for her birthday :)
The music is cool. They have the music videos up so you can watch. That’s pretty cool. It’s mostly old hip hop and rap and stuff. You can’t pick music either so that sucks.
I didn’t purchase any of the hookahs so I’m not sure of the price but I do know In the Bay Area it’s anywhere from $ 15-​$ 35 a hookah depending on what you get. We got about 3 – 4 flavors.
It was nice. I couldn’t really notice the difference between peach or mango. The mint one had a slightly minty taste. The Bay Area hookah flavors are much more concentrated.
They don’t serve alcohol in the establishment but they do downstairs in the bar below. So drink there first then go up.
It’s not too bad. I actually like that they don’t serve alcohol because imagine the riff raff it would attract :(
We had came in earlier to rent a spot but then the guy gave our spot away to another group (probably because our group took so long to return because they were lag gon’ it for some reason *eye roll*) but then it turned out someone in our group knew the group who our spot was given to, so we just ended up going there anyway.
The owners replaced our coals once but after that they didn’t add more… I was kind of disappointed because I wasn’t done and we asked them to change the coals again. I would have happily paid again for one hookah just for me but he never came by again… So I don’t know.
The bathrooms are pretty gross. I think people trash the bathrooms or something because it smelled something fierce in there. 2 out of the 3 stalls were out of order. Tissue everywhere but you know what, it’s not that bad. I’ve seen worse.
Overall it’s a really cool place to chill.
I think I’m used to a faster, more busy pace, as sacramento is a bit slow…
So in conclusion, it was ok :)

Super chill place in old Sac!
Totally would invite my group here next time around.
Wonderful vibe, the staff was sweet and very welcoming.
Huge couches to lounge in, you can play your own music and the lights/​setting over all puts you in the mood!
Recommending this place next time you need a spot to chill at.
Happy chilling, toodles!~

WORST PLACE IN ALL OF SACRAMENTO.
homeless might was well live here just fucking gross in everyway.
Any one that says this is a good spot is a poor person used to nasty places.
smells like pee.
no alcohol. dirty furniture

Puke on the toilet with a hand written note saying if your going to puke don’t miss. Note also said $ 50 dollar charge for puking in the sink. 2 toilets were out of order. The couches were separated by shower curtains. Took 19 minutes to get the hookah after paying. They play music videos while you sit which is cool but it skips all the time killing the flow of music. 17 buck per hookah.

Went here on a Friday night around 9pm and it was pretty nice. It wasnt crowded like other places, and they have a lot of flavors. We got 2 hookahs ($ 15 each), one grape flavor and the other strawberry lemonade. They also had good music playing which we liked.

A little bio on me: To start I’m not from town but travel A LOT and have hookah everywhere i go. I have been smoking hookah for over 7 years now.
This place was kinda hard to find, it is up stairs and is kinda hidden. I got here an hour after they opened and I got a double apple mint (my favorite) and it tasted very much like soap. The guys here where nice enough to change it for me but the second one still tasted a little soapy. I was here on a Wensday
One the god side the music was amazing.

I love this place. I’ve hookah’d In Tahoe, Sacramento, NYC, LA, SF, Philly, Las Vegas, Even in Stockton. The atmosphere and customer service is outstanding. The prices and selection are great. No booze in the lounge, go to the bar for that. Great for groups too I recomend vanilla or berry or if they have the Marley blend ;)

I’m giving it 4 stars simply because of the quality of the hookah here. It’s smooth and perfect, never a single time that i’ve been here and had a hookah burning, or not hitting well. They use the best quality flavor, coals, pure filtered water, and the hookahs are very clean. Service good def be better though. They’re a bit rude.

Beautifulllll service! Awesome hookah! Very great surroundings! Will visit over and over!

Good hangout place in Sacramento downtown. Very few hookah places have paan flavor — which makes this place a must-​try. Try their house mix with pan. Really good !!

This place has an awesome vibe, everything is very cool — especially the lighting and how there is outside seating. The view was nice and the hookah tastes great. Service was very accommodating and willing to go the extra mile. Will be back for my next sac visit!
