History and Ambiance
Natalie's Hookah Lounge is a hookah bar off the square. First opened in Fall of 2006, the lounge was founded to mimic the feel of an authentic Lebanese hookah lounge. While it no longer plays Arabic music or features belly dancing, the lounge still maintains the relaxed, and warm nostalgic atmosphere it had when it opened. The space features large and small tables to comfortably accomodate parties of up to 8 people at a single table. A variety of couches and comfortable upholstered chairs ensure a welcoming environment for patrons.
Food and Drink
Natalie's has a selections of soft drinks, teas and coffee but offers no food or alcohol. Customers may, however, bring in their own food or have it delivered. The lounge is BYOB for beer and wine, but the staff will check your ID to make sure you're over 21.
Pricing
Unlike most other hookah lounges, Natalie's pricing is straightforward. Al Ajamy and Al Fahker flavors are $14.99 and Starbuzz flavors are $18.99. Disposable hoses are now used for sanitary reasons, but customers are free to purchase and use personal hoses. There's no charge to mix flavors and the staff is happy to help you create a custom blend. Coal is free and changed regularly and there's no hourly charge. Hookahs are intended for three people each and a $2.50 sharing charge is applied for each person after the third.
Things to Consider
The staff is usually very kind and professional, but may refuse service for the following infractions of store policy:
1. Failure to bring a government ID which is required to validate age.
2. Asking about marijuana, "incense / potpurri," or other solicitations and conversations about illegal substances.
3. Consumption of alchohol by persons under 21.
This lounge is 18 and up only, and the servers do work for tips.
