Alchemy lounge — Restaurant in Florida

I honestly was looking forward to trying out Alchemy due to it being right down the road from me. Parking wasn't an issue, but I can tell for any first time customer that it is hard to miss the lounge all together if you are not looking for it closely. The windows are all blacked out, and the only hint of signage is the small white lettering in the upper left corner of the window. The interior of the lounge was very nice, and I enjoyed the couches as well as the bar in the back.

The one knock I have against this place was the music selection. Maybe I came on a wrong day, but the music was an assortment of rather loud trap and hip hop music. When I go to hookah lounges, I typically am used to light trance or house music in the background to ease in the chill atmosphere of the lounge. The music selection and hookah, to me, just didn't fit quite right.

Other than the music, I will hand it to the staff they are quite friendly, and they know their equipment as well as how to handle the varying degrees of coal handling and insuring that the smoke was not too harsh.

I walked out paying more than I expected, but I am not sure if I will visit again. If the music selection is your preference, I would...

So I don’t know who they’re paying to boost their stars but this was the worst hookah lounge experience I’ve ever had. Just a very poorly run business. First of all it’s tiny which isn’t necessarily an issue on it’s own but they pack the place past capacity so ppl aren’t even at designated tables really, you’re just standing on top of each other. There’s only one unisex bathroom. The bar is very limited & for some reason the back door stays wide open so it got all damp inside. That’s exactly what I want: a cramped ‘lounge’ where there aren’t any seats available & I have to carefully navigate a body to body crowd on a slippery floor to wait in line for the one toilet in the whole place. Oh and for ppl who were actually able to GET seated at a table it was “oops we don’t have any more hookahs available”.

Hookah lounge has no where for you to lounge & actually ran out of hookahs... so glad to have found a much better place about six minutes away or else the night could’ve been a...

Came to this hookah lounge in Orlando this weekend while visiting. I would give this hookah bar a 2/5 for many reasons. First, the hookah price is super ridiculous! Our total came out to $35 for one coke and one of the “cheapest” hookah on the menu. I don’t see a need for hookah’s to be THAT expensivunsturdye. At max I would pay $20 - that too in a very classy restaurant. Second, the restaurant was literally 4 walls with very non sturdy ikea black lightweight tables. Especially not good for resting hookah’s on. Third, the crowd was was ridiculous. A couple making out to a point where it’s getting uncomfortable for everyone around their table. And lastly, the service is very mediocre and slow. I’m a general hookah smoker, pay $16 for hookah, with extraordinary service! I would definitely suggest the company to work on some of this stuff - there’s def potential. However, as of today / i wouldn’t...
