ILounge — Restaurant in Atlanta

I honestly have nothing negative to say about my experience at ILounge. I purchased a voucher on Groupon that included two martinis and a hookah for two. They also had an option for four. I called ILounge before arriving just to make sure there were not any conditions to use the Groupon (Because I know How Groupon could be). The person that answered the phone was very nice, and answered all of my questions. I asked about parking, cover fee, food, and using the voucher. And everything that was answered was accurate. Kudos to the staff for great service and being knowledgeable about the business. I can't stand inconsistencies with staff. Parking was Free 99 (My favorite), with two parking lots in the back of the location. We parked in one of the parking lots that was directly behind the back door of ILounge. On Friday's and Saturdays, they have a group of guys who grill jerk chicken, jerk ribs, tilapia, and turkey wings. The plates include rice and peas, two plantains, and cabbage. The plates are between $9 and $10, if you pay cash. I also saw that they take credit too. You can also bring the outside food into the lounge. I bought a plate of ribs (pictured), and ended up grabbing a chicken plate when I left to eat for lunch the next day. The vibe inside the lounge is very intimate yet classy at the same time. We came in on the tail end of a private event featuring local artists singing and rapping (Almost like spoken word vibes NOT Atlanta HOOD TRAP rapper vibes). Our waitress Claudia took wonderful care of us. The only bad moment was a drunk lady bumping our table, and spilling my boyfriend's drink on the table and on both of our pants legs. Claudia took care of us though. She checked on us several times. She got my boyfriend a new drink, and made great recommendations. I really liked my Melon Martini the best, and the Mango hookah was good (no nasty taste), and pulled just right. Not too strong (making me feel all lightheaded, and not weak to the point where it ran out quickly. I will definitely be back with my boyfriend or even a group of friends. The bathroom was also very clean as well, which is always a plus. This is a hidden gem on Glenwood (Not the Hood part.) I say give it a shot. Also the DJay played great music and I loved how the music matched the music videos on the flat screen tv's. We turned up when Wild Thoughts came on and Cardi B Bodak Yellow, but there was still some R&B played too. It was a...

Just left from here literally 5 minutes ago. The inside and atmosphere was really cool, very laid back and cute and the DJ was on point. My biggest issue came when the waitress asked if I was opening a tab. I said sure, she proceeded to ask me for my card. I told her that I'm paying in cash and she told me they will just use the card to hold my tab. I never heard of hookah lounges doing this before but I said cool. Later that night I told her I was ready to pay only to receive my card with receipts showing it was swiped. Why was I not shown my tab first in case the price didn't match with what I was told? I was pissed and reminded her I said I wanted to pay in cash. I didn't have the patience to speak with the manager so I just signed my check and left. I most likely will go back but they will definitely NOT be receiving my...

I went for my bday in December. It was my first time in the ATL, I'm from DC. I had a ball...i cant wait to go back! It's a whole vibe. The staff and patrons were so nice. The DJ shouted me out-i felt so special! Everybody said 'happy birthday' to me lol. The music was good..I wish I wouldve got the DJs name to shout him out now. He played all the right music ...read the crowd very well! DJ- if u were there Dec 10th going into the 11th of 2021, u did amazing and thank u for my bday shoutout lol. The decor (for instance, i like when establishments have tvs that play music videos so u have something to look at while vibing), ambience, the cleanliness, the layout of the building, the drinks... no complaints! My bday trip was a disaster because it rained the whole time and some other stuff happened but ilounge was definitely...
