What Guests Say
"I've been smoking shisha for over a decade and this is by far the best I ever had. The chicken wings are also so delicious. I tried 20+ lounges in Seoul and this was definitely the best. Also very foreigner friendly and the owner guided us through everything."
"Great hookah spot with a really chill atmosphere. The place has a nice vibe, comfortable seating, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The hookah was smooth, lasted a long time, and the flavors were really good. It’s a nice place to relax with friends."
"It's a very pleasant place. As a person who smokes hookahs almost every day, I can say that there are good hookahs and a very friendly and interested hookah master. The cocktail I ordered was also delicious!"
"Absolutely recommend this bar! The atmosphere is fantastic, the drinks are great, and the entire staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Special shoutout to TK—he personally checks in with guests to make sure everything is perfect."
"Friendly staff that can speak English. Place is cozy, hookahs are nice. They use Wookah brand shishas and Quasar as heat management. Staff came to check charcoal and changed it regularly. We tried tea and this was very good as well."
"A true hidden gem on the second floor in Itaewon. Perfect place to unwind late at night with great drinks, deep music, and top-tier charcoal maintenance. Highly recommended for travelers and locals alike."
