Caterpillar’s Hookah Lounge

Great service ! Super dope atmosphere ! And great Hookah! Bar tenders were on top of it very friendly as well. No complaints and good variety of music!

This is such a unique place in Carson, not to mention that it is located in a cool part of downtown Carson. You walk in and you are greeted by not only the staff but other customers who frequent the place. There are people of every age inside and its a good place to start a conversation with a stranger. My only complaint is that I wish they had more kegs of popular beers, when I go in they seem to be out of my favorite each time :(
They have a lot of hookahs for sale, they also have a secret menu that they will give you if you ask. The girls (and the one guy) always have a good suggestion for flavors if you feel lost when you look at the menu.
I do have to say that they are pretty serious about checking ID’s. It really is like any other bar though you have to be a certain age to go in. So be sure to expect that. Though I have gone 3 times and by the last visit the girls recognized me and that was pretty neat. If you have your reservations I would say to you to go check it out, its a laid back place full of some pretty killer people

BEWARE OF THIS PLACE!!! My friend was in the bathroom when a piece of glass fell. They wanted to charge my friend $ 500 for the damage. It was an accident and he wasn’t trying to vandalize anything. They ended up charging him $ 200 for something that has happened 2 other times according to the bartender. They claimed it was a ‘special’ glass. FUCK THIS PLACE! DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE EVER!!! I signed up for Unilocal just so that I could review this place and make people aware of how shitty they are. I’m also filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau!

I stopped by and had a wonderful time here! It was relaxed and the owner/​host was a really cool guy. Laidback and friendly atmosphere. If your in carson and just want a place to meet cool people and chill, come here! Hookah is great and the service is impeccable!

THEY WOULDNT EVEN LET ME IN. I’m 43! Okay I’ll admit, I look my age, I don’t look like a 23 year old and me and my friends came in and I forgot my ID at home, but she still wouldn’t allow me in! Are you serious? I’m old enough to be the short lady with the glasses and short black hairs mom! And so I left and my friends stayed and said she was just rude and didn’t know any other product other than the ones they carried. She was short with her answers to their questions and the place is just «ratchet» full of unclassy punks who look like they needed an ID. Not going back.

WOW! What a change! New bar — New seating — way more comfortable. The owners have always provided a great Hookah experience but now with the new bar it is better than ever. Beer on tap. Great wines. The employees are friendly and provide exceptional service. I wouldn’t go anywhere else:)

Nathaniel and Dana are wonderful owners that take the time to make sure that you have a perfect experience. Featuring many blends of tobacco and also some craft beers, teas, jewelry from local artist and now an oxygen bar. You can catch local acoustic musicians on the small stage and artwork hangs on the walls. Check out the Lego masterpeices in the bathroom! They even have a separate section for those wanting to have a good time for the 18 – 20 crowd in the back. I have visited several times and am really looking forward to checking out the place’s newest oxygen bar.

I’m from Los Angeles and been through a good amount of hookah lounges. I’m a regular hookah smoker and been smoking for about 4 years now. The owner is about to close yet he still gave us service and even stayed with us an hour after he closed. I liked the theme (Alice and wonderland), a theme that a lot of people have been wanting to do In LA. The hookah was great, the lounge had most fumari flavors along with other brands. I smoked one bowl for about hour and a half and it was still going.
I found some of the past reviews funny. If the hookah burns bcuz of your coals, then it’s probably bcuz you don’t know how to manage them and that’s ok. Just let your hookah server know the issue.
This place gets 4 stars from be bcuz service was great, hookah was great and drinks were great. The only reason it’s not 5 stars was bcuz there are flavors that are missing and in my opinion are must haves. But that’s my personal opinion.
I hope my suggestions are taken in consideration and are applied to the business.

I liked this place better when it was called, «Still Smokin». The old owner was really cool but now a days its hipster hot spot. So if your into that kind of thing (which I’m not) then you might like this place.
When I visited this hookah lounge I thought the service was pretty mediocre. The blends were pretty over priced and the guy that was servicing me and my boyfriend kept letting the coal burn the sheesha, which was making it very difficult to smoke. If I’m paying money to have this done I want it done right!

Me and my best friend go to the caterpillar at least once a month just for something to do. We tend to go early in the evening so we are usually the only ones there. We always get great service and the best couch.
I am sad that they made their menu smaller bud that isn’t enough to loose a star. The owners are nice and Nathanael is always willing to look at someone’s personal hookah if you have a problem.

My boyfriend and I were visiting lake Tahoe and made the journey to Carson city to try this place. It had really nice pictures of Alice in wonderland, and different types of art on the walls. it was very unique and there was also legos in the bathroom. The only downside was the whole time this guy was talking about sex the whole time.
