Hubble Hookah

Great food, great hookah. What more do you want? I have always had a good time while coming here. It’s not as uptight as other hookah places.

Love the vibe of this hooka Bar! So relaxing ! The food is awesome, try the chicken artichoke sandwich!! mmm! My favorite tea is the roasted almond with real almonds in it, so good ! Matt has been there for years he’s so sweet he knows what you want and gets you rolling Ralph is like family also appreciates his customers and is very accommodating. Hookah are great my fav is white peach /​mint of course. I’m sure Matt knows who I am by now! Been going here for years it’s like my place !

I’ve been here twice and both times I have enjoyed the hookah and drinks, I haven’t tried their food yet. The service is good and the atmosphere is great too. I would definitely go back.

Tonight was my first night at Hubble, so theres was some ups and some downs (sorry to say).
Pros:
— The food was surprisingly good.
— The hookah was decently good as well.
Cons:
— Our waitress was somewhat nice but noticeably trying not to bitch at me and my friends. Also she wasn’t paying attention alot to us when we wanted to order or change coals or ask for the check. We had to wait like 20 – 30 mins to for her to come to our table.
— I ordered a vodka redbull, and it was way too much vodka. Probably next time will get a redbull.
— The place to totally understaff. They should at least have 3 – 4 servers in the main room and an actual bartender at the bar.
— Lastly, the hostress wasnt too happy being there and then we were trying to decide to get another head, she said «okay» then left.
I work as a bartender and server, and I understand that you can’t get to everyone at the same time however, i just had a feeling that the waitress didnt care to tend to me and my friends, however she had paid more attention to tables of men. So sadly we had to give her $ 5 tip on a $ 50 bill. I would like to visit Hubble again but i definitely don’t want the same waitress again. And for sure the manager or owner should pay attention to some of the severs and perhaps hire a enthusiastic, cheerful, and responsible staff.

Here is what you will expect at this place:
1. Plenty of alcohol
2. Good service
3. Menu options
4. Very decent hookah
5. Limited street parking
6. Delicious dessert
7. Comfortable booths and tables
8. Clean establishment
I enjoyed coming here. It was a positive experience and I hope to come back soon. It’s different than other hookah places but I actually prefer this to other locations. The prices are also very reasonable.

good place to hang out and catch up with friends ! lost a few stars because they use instant light charcoals and for a $ 16 dollar hookah it’s expensive. the inside is like restaurant style seating and no music playing :(it has the potential to be a great place if they played more music and better coals. But the servers a very nice ! The service was great !

I’m an out of town visitor from Arizona and I wasn’t sure what to expect. The place is very nice looking and has a good atmosphere. The brand of sheesh they carry, starbuzz, is one I’m familiar with and it’s pretty decent. The coals however are not the greatest. They use quick lights and I personally don’t enjoy them. The hookah comes out ready to smoke but does not come out with tongs. The servers don’t come around often enough to move the coals but will do so upon request. Overall the smoke was decent once I got the server to rotate the coals for me. Overall it was Okay.

This place is heaven for Hookah Smokers and foodies. Five of us were visiting Chicago from Memphis and we found this place for Hookah. It is simply awesome, they have multiple selection of flavors and the manager Ralph and his sister Angie are very cooperative to help you select the flavors. Ralph actually got boxes of flavors to our table to show us how it smells and if it meets our needs.
The food is amazing as well. I am vegetarian and we got a lot of vegetarian options to help us with our dinner. They also have a wide selection of desserts and alcohol. We ended up going to this place 2 times on consecutive days.
Everyone should must visit this place if they are in Chicago or traveling there.

I have been to this location about 4 or 5 times. The first time i loved it… that was before I understood anything about hookah. I was 18 the first time I went for my and my best friends 18^th Birthday. The staff was kind but the hookah tasted burnt. There was no flavor. I didn’t fully understand how hookah worked then. I then went for a second time and got a better understanding. The food was wonderful. A few later later I went my boyfriend on our second date. Food was alright… the shisha list was a joke and they were out of just about everything. The hookahs weren’t washed really and they don’t keep hookahs separate so if you wanted mint and the hookah had double apple in it before guess what your smoking? That’s right it all tastes like double apple. That”s if your lucky. When we went it just tasted like flavorless smoke. So much different stuff in the base i would imagine. As i said the food was good but its so dark in there you can’t see anything when the smoke gets bad. The staff was nice but the shisha selection is poor. Starbuzz is not idea for hookah owners. The staff was great, the food was great but honestly that was about it. The smoking experience wasn’t at all what I expected it to be. The price per hookah is out outrageous but they do allow some sharing.
I would rather go to Ugly Hookah or Prince Hookah. Or well, just stick to smoking at home and inviting friends to come here.
Pros: Good Food, Wonderful Staff, Special Treat for birthdays, nice atmosphere, decent music, sharing hookahs
Cons: Barely washed hookahs, poor selection in shisha, dim lighting, loud music, overcrowded, expensive hookahs, expensive night out
EDIT: Side note, for those who like natural coals vs quick lights this is not this place for you. They are good about switching out the coals often but if you are one for natural coals they don’t have it. Or they didn’t last time I was there.

This place is fantastic for first timers. It’s very clean and the ambiance is great! I LOVE their firecracker shrimp! Their hookahs are fine, but we did have to ask multiple times for a charcoal change. This place is good for dates ;)

This place is so classy! Amazing atmosphere! The tables are spacious giving room for more hookahs than you need and more food than you can eat. They have a bar, a full menu, and a wide assortment of hookah flavors to smoke.
Perfect place for date night and is just extremely well done. Loved every bit of it!
Brownie Parfait is highly recommended.

By far the best hookah lounge I have been to. Best looking, best atmosphere, great food, great drinks and the best staff. Definitely worth the visit and repeating. Definitely check this place out.

Try shrooms from the appetizer menu! It’s amazing! Must try their teas! I love their green tea collection! Besides food Great service! We are here almost every weekend, never had bad service!

Just one awesome place.
Great food
Great people
Hookah is good
The customer service is great they’re always nice
The drinks are really good, the alcoholic drinks are great, the tea coffee drinks are really good too
The owner is usually there making sure everything runs smooth really shows he cares about the business and his customers.
The place looks really good inside they did a remodel a while back so bathrooms got upgraded and something’s in the front which really upscales it
Just a really good place to bring friends and hangout, have diner, have some drinks, coffee, and of course hookah
Also I’ve called a bunch of times to just order food and pick up on my way home if I’m in a rush.
Food always tastes great and fresh doesn’t taste like they just microwaved something and put it on a plate.
Overall awesome place always come here and is always my first choice because I trust that everything will be on point.

I’ve been coming here for the past 4 – 5 years and not once have I’ve been disappointed. Hookah is so clean, and full of flavors. Service was attentive and kind. Our host/​server MATT was so cool and made us feel welcomed. Food is AWESOME. Drinks are also pretty amazing. Overall experience is great. Highly recommend! And if your server happens to be Matt, give him a high-​five!

Five stars for the hookah and the ambience, which is always lively despite the somewhat removed location. All the flavors I have had are delicious and the workers are good about refilling the coals.
Four stars because, generally, the service isn’t that great. I have come here multiple times and yet once I was not allowed in because my ID was two weeks expired. Considering that I am 21 years old, that seemed ridiculous to me. I understand it could be a liability to the place, but I showed a college ID and other proof of identification (my debit card and work ID) to no avail. The employees seem to take themselves too seriously.
Still, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. They also allow 3 people to a hookah, which is great after experiencing the pain of places that only allow 2 to a hookah. Don’t let the location deter you, stop by!

What an amazing spot! I usually don’t come to this area, but my friend and I decided to meet in the middle and she’s been there before. First of all, it’s a cozy hookah place, great atmosphere, dim lights, decorations and lovely vibe. They serve hookah, alcohol and food! I guess they were there before all the laws were made about not being able to smoke anywhere there is food. too bad.
I haven’t tried their food yet but the hookah and drinks were great! it’s a bit far from me but I am always driving to the city, so driving there isn’t too bad.

In a not so appealing location this hookah spot blew me away. The inside is so nice, beautifully designed with a romantic feel. Finally a hookah spot that has a full bar not BYOB. There are a lot of places like this in other states but not that many in Chicago. The first thing you notice when you walk in is that this place is not smoky like many other hookah places, its well vented which is great. I didn’t try the food but heard its great. This spot has it all food, drinks, teas, and hookah which all mesh into my kinda night!

Love this place! First of all, it’s easy to get to and they have tons of street parking. Second of all, it’s probably the nicest hookah lounge I’ve ever been to– and it’s so reasonably priced. Granted your bills can become expensive (because they have hookah, food, AND alcohol!) but everything’s per unit price is very low.
The only thing I hate is that when you make reservations you get weird tables (by open windows, never do you get a booth, etc). If you’re making a reservation I feel like you should be treated better than someone walking in from the street, not vis versa (or maybe give everyone an equal shot at the tables ;).
Try their spinach/​artichoke dip. It’s amazing!

Great drinks, good service and good hookah. They get real crowded on Friday and Saturday and it’s not the best heated place, but other than that things are great! Food is good and the drinks (non alcoholic, haven’t gotten around to trying the alcoholic beverages) are so delicious! Must get one of their tasty smoothies or lattes.
