Nara Cafe & Hookah Lounge — Restaurant in St. Louis

Horrible experience. My friend and I were new to hookah and they treated us like we were idiots. We were sitting AT THE BAR and yet NONE of the bartenders even talked to us except to take our order. Did not make us feel comfortable or like they wanted us there at all. The one drink we ordered, the pineapple upside down something or other, was the most the disgusting drink ive ever had in my life. We couldn't even finish our drinks and it's a good thing we didn't because we ended up with some kind of food poisoning from it a day or so after. Our hookahs weren't even put together correctly so we wasted half the hasheesh because us being new to it didn't really know what was wrong just that we weren't getting a lot of smoke and they never checked on us. I had to go to the other end of the bar to get someone's attention to come fix it. Just all around bad time. Will never go...

I was in the area and realized there were a few choices to pick from when it came to a hookah bar. Something spoke to me about Nara Cafe and I went on a whim. I am happy to report that I chose correctly.

I got there at 7:02, right when they opened and I was greeted by Sarah, one of the bartenders. She was so nice to me and I had the pleasure of meeting the owner.

I stayed for 4.5 hours and just felt relaxed watching a basketball game. Hookah was great and drinks were perfect. They really ran the bar too always asking if I needed anything.

I walked out of there with a smile on my face due to the good vibes, great music and wonderful hospitality!
