King’s Hookah Lounge

I’ll give this place a solid 3 for the hookahs and hookahs only. Ever since I feel like what has been the hookah prohibition in Seattle every hookah bar has suffered immensely. Of course that has affected quality of hookah and overall friendliness of staff for every hookah bar. Last time I went to kings was awhile ago and I hated it. So I was skeptical when my buddy made me come this time. First off the parking situation has not changed at all, it’s all street side parking in ID unless you find a spot at what looks like to be some random store with no sign next door. Thankfully I found a lucky spot so we parked and went in. This hookah bar has an open concept which I like! Staff was friendly enough and we sat quickly only to see a old friend walk in that I thought i would never see again so the night was going well. Annoyingly enough our hookah took about 25 minutes to get to us and that was unacceptable, building a bowl takes a few minutes. Once we finally got our hookah the flavor was awesome! It’s nice to see a place that the quality of hookah is uncompromised by the crap going on with the city. It was a good experience overall and I’ll return. However if the parking and wait time doesn’t change I don’t know if I’ll be a regular. But this review ends on a hopeful note.

So the place looks super sketch from the outside. My friends and I literally almost didn’t go in when we got there. Suffice it to say, we did end up going in.
The inside basically looks like a big warehouse. The couches are comfortable and the service was pretty good. It started slowing down a bit as the night got busier, but that’s somewhat to be expected.
The hookah flavors were really good, which is why I’m giving it a 4 star! They last a good bit and the ice hose definitely toped it off really well.
The prices are average, but I would expect them to be a bit lower for the area and overallness of the place.
Not sure if I’d visit again, but I don’t regret going.

This place is pretty sketchy at night.
The type of crowd they attract may make you reconsider.
Basically just a bunch of intoxicated people acting obnoxious and disrespectful in public.

This joint needs to close down due to the trouble it causes every night in the neighborhood. This place has criminal activity every night. A community hero was just murdered outside this establishment. Do not support this bar. They are also located right next to a childcare.

Worst hookah bar i have ever been to. Awful customer service, over priced hookah, horrible location l… i felt like i was, gonna get jumped or shot out side of it. Coal service is crap. And to top it all off they charged my debit card for three hookahs when i only purchased one. Needless to say i will never return there

My review of this place is based solely on the fact that this is the 2^nd Hookah Lounge I have been to in my life, so here it goes:
This place plays R & B and Hip Hop music, and this music is not loud, like some other places can be. It has a ton of seating and is a fairly large area compared to most.
Be aware that if this is your frist time going into a Hookah Lounge you are required to get a year membership, but it is only an extra 5 $ so it snot too bad. I wa told that this is a state law? idk…
I went with 2 friends on a friday night. It took about 10 mins to get everything paid for after waiting in line, then another 10 mins for them to bring out the hookah. I am not a big smoker, but I choose the mango and black berry flavor and I was very impressded! it actually tasted good!
This place is a great place to go if its jsut a couple of your freidns or even a larger group of 5 – 10 people. Very chill and relaxing.
The crowd seemed to be about young 20’s ish. Overall I did enjoy this visits and I would not mind comoing back to chill with friends.
If there are any other hookah spots that play R & B /​hip hop music please feel free to inbox me!

This place is so expensive more than ever where’s.

Had a great time when I went for my Senior Prom, kinda stechy looking on the outside, but service is great on the inside, super nice, and good speed on hookah, shisha, and bubbles. Good staff. Very relaxed place, can be loud at times, but its a good enjoable experience. Nice price, $ 5 annual fee, 25 for shisha and hookah.

Great place to smoke shisha. From the outside the place looks shady, but once you past the security and into the building things are all good. They carry an assortment of flavors (including al fahker double apple). –1 star for the music volume but it shouldn’t stop you from checking this place out. The staff (security included) are friendly and are quite attentive to coal needs.

This place nice but the female was very impertinent and was giving us unnecessary attitude. Plus she accused us for not being members even though we proved that we were. She was being unprofessional and was providing horrible customer service. And because of that I would never recommend anyone to go there and have a bad experience like I did. It is simple, when business is being conducted, customers always come first. On a good note, the white male with the dimples was very nice and apologetic for her rude actions.

Being a regular at a hookah lounge one block away (medina hookah lounge) it was hard to try this place out.
3 check ins later I love this place. Great staff, great hookahs, and music!
Can’t ask for anything else.
If I would have to say something I would like to see more it would be having someone go around giving coals more, especially on busy nights. Sometimes it takes to long.

This place looks kind of shady on the outside, but it’s actually really cool. The staff is friendly, and the ambience is great. Recommended!

Good selection of shisha from different brands. I had the Hookafina Blackberry. The venue is very spacious with three pool tables. If you want to try something a little different, ask for an ice tip. It will cool your hookah experience.

My niece enjoys coming to places like this once in a while, so I checked out what Unilocalers had to say about a good place to go to in Seattle and came across this one. To my surprise, it was a really new place (I believe when we came in, they said they had only been open for 10 days) so it wasn’t busy at all when we came in. This was my first time even doing this, but this place seemed pretty spacious, lights were a nice tone (not too dim or anything) and what we got was pretty good. We had two hookahs, and with one of them, it wasn’t quite secure so the hose kept coming out which is kind of odd considering it’s a new place. The music was mainly rap, which doesn’t bother me really, though I noticed it was a lot of what I’ve never really heard of.
The place was kind of confusing to find, but maybe that’s the point, haha. This was my first time going, and I rarely ever do this anyway, so it’s hard for me to say this is a great place or a bad place, but in some ways I liked how it was new so there wasn’t a huge crowd of people there, though it would’ve been nicer if there were more than just our group there :)

OK Seattle… congratulations. you finally have a great hookah bar. The location is a bit obscure. It pretty much looks like a warehouse from the outside. But this all adds to the appeal. As you step inside you walk into a large, well decorated lounge atmosphere with a very open floor plan. The owners greeted us and the seating was plentiful. The hookahs were great, lots of variety. The service was amazing, fresh coals, tea, the works. I am definitely making the King’s my new favorite spot. It is about time Seattle got a life… well a night life that is. Please the next time you are down in the international district and you want some hookah to go with your phở check out the King’s Hookah Lounge where you will find me, if I am not at home.
