Game Time Hookah Lounge

Best hookah lounge I have been to period. One thing that most of the hookah bars I went to fell short of was a kick ass staff. This place has it, I didn’t even have to touch my hookah. They take care of everything and have great personalities. The outdoor patio was awesome. They even have board games to play. Definitely recommend for first time and veteran hookah smokers. The owner is always is bringing new things to the table. The chillest man you will ever meet. This man isn’t a dime he’s the whole dollar. Wait, no the whole Benjamin.

This was our first time here. We were a party of four. It took 15 minutes for someone to come and take our initial order. Once we had our hooka it took a long time to get a second coal. The cards on the table were not a full deck of cards. We had two king of clubs. We finished up our night because we couldn’t get another coal to finish our hooka. I won’t be back. I’ll try out Hooka Time in Crest Hill. It’s closer to my house.

We went to check out this spot last night. Its a nice little chill spot that might be hard to spot at night (literally passed it twice while looking for it lol). But it was a cool place. We had the incredible that was sweet and sour and it was good. We stayed for 2 hours and they continued to add coals as some of ours burned out. They even had board games and cards for us to play while we enjoyed our hookah. It was a good time with good vibes.

Excellent serive! We have been here about 4 times and I love it! The price is really nice! The people are nice. The quality is nice too! I can never get the hookah to be as smooth as the people make it here. The manager comes in almost every night. He is a good guy and has a good business. I recommend everyone to come here if they are into hookah and meeting new people!

This is a really great hookah lounge. Delicious mixes (Pina Colada is my favorite), great service, and a welcoming environment. It’s a great place to come after a long day with your friends or just to have some «me time.» The only negative is that this lounge allows cigarette smoking. A table of 5 guys started lighting up on the other side of the room, and it still bothered me. If you can handle cigarette smoke, you should be okay, but it doesn’t work well for me. Other than that, it’s a great lounge. Try them out!

Glad we decided to check this place out, and on a Friday night it was busy but not uncomfortably crowded. Hookah itself was great. Service was great. I would go 5 stars but getting payment right away was kind of weird, it seems a little pushy but I can understand why they do it that way. I would be likely to tip more though if I was tipping based on quality of service– which one can’t accurately judge that prior to payment when you pay within minutes of getting hookah. But like I said the staff was terrific, friendly, and on top of things– I didn’t have to touch the hookah once it hit the table and coals kept coming without having to track anyone down. I look forward to returning in the future and warmer weather to spend a little time on their patio. I think they’ve got a good thing going here and hope to see this lounge stay open.

Great hookahs. The girls that work there are very kind and provide good service. I would recommend Game Time anyone looking for a good night out.

To start off, in my personal opinion, in order to properly enjoy a hookah, whether it be the flavor burst or the smoke quantity, you have to stay for at least 45 minutes to an hour.
Game time hookah is a very relaxing atmosphere to enjoy. Whether you choose to sit outside on the newly built patio or somewhere inside, the staff is very welcoming. Unless there busy, you can sit almost anywhere.
I’ve been coming here since December of ’13 and haven’t looked back. Hands down one of the best Hookah places in IL.
Their VIP which does take a little time to prep (considering it has a huge Vortex bowl, natural coconut stove top coals, heavy duty stem and base, and then the hose filled with an ice pack in the tip). It makes the experience worth it anyways. Right from the get go, you DO NOT have the nasty taste of the charcoal from the quick lites, and the smoke density is INSANE!
You can also get the basic with INDIVIDUAL upgrades available at a separate charge.
The prices for this place are not either. Essentially it’s around $ 10-​$ 15 a person REGARDLESS of smoking or not. It’s a great way to eliminate unnecessary traffic.
Plus there is NO ALCOHOL permitted which is great because it’s NOT A BAR.
The owner Zaid, knows his stuff and has done his research on his sheesha and hookahs themselves. Great guy to have a conversation with. Any questions about combinations of flavors or how they can break things down for payment, just ask him or any of his staff that are working.
Personally though it’s 5 – 7 minutes further away from me, it is completely worth the trip!
Make sure you take a selfie with #JimmyTheCreepyCamel and tag #GameTimeHookahLounge on your social media accounts and share your experience with the world.
Also if you have any problems with a choice for a flavor that will last, a good starter is Mike’s Mix (not on the menu item). ASK ABOUT IT lol

Tonight was my first time at Game Time. I’ve heard that their prices are cheaper than Hookah Time ($ 10 compared to Hookah Time’s $ 12). However when you go with 4 people at Hookah Time you get two hookahs where as with Game Time you only get one. So really you’re getting your moneys worth when you go to Hookah Time. Also when you go to Hookah Time with 3 people you get one hookah, but to repack it, the charge is only $ 1 extra. Another thing is they ask you to pay before you even start to smoke your hookah, not to mention once you swipe your card it asks for you to tip on the spot… before you even know how the service will be. Small things that attributed to the experience is the fact that the music is blaring, the seats are uncomfortable, and all together it is not nearly as relaxing as Hookah Time. If you’re looking for a hookah lounge to attend, I’d go with Hookah Time especially since they are basically down the street from one another.

I live in downtown Chicago and I find myself driving out to Juliet at least once a month to come to this lounge. They have such a great selection and the environment is just great. The only complain I have is the fact that they don’t serve alcohol. They are cool with you bringing your own food though. I highly recommend this place for those who appreciate a good hookah.

Such sweet girl that took care of our table; mixed 2 hookah favors for me at no additional charge. The atmosphere was very laid back especially the patio allowed us to enjoy the summer breeze and unlike most hookah lounges they don’t rush you out the door. Will definitely pay them another visit!

Never really tried hookah before so I decided to give this place a try based on a friend’s suggestion. The place was nice and clean and service was good. Atmosphere was nice and laid back. Price felt fair to me.

Low quality hookah for high quantity bills. I went there on two occasions, and I felt I actually spent more money than I would have buying my own cheap hookah, tobacco, and half-​assed packing. I’m a nice guy, I don’t really get irked, but this place was just disappointing. My advice to you, do a little more research, and invest in gas money to go out a little bit farther. You’ll still save. Prices range from $ 20 – 30 for one cheap hookah. Their VIP hookahs are what other bars serve normally, at least to the ones I’ve been to.

Been here a few times and would definitely come back when I’m in the area I usually attend hookah bars in the city or in bridgeview area and I really wish this was closer to me.
The flavors are great and the service is always prompt.
The camel in the bathroom scares me though. You just have to get used to it!
Other than that, great spot to chill.

Me and my friends decided to try this place out we usually go hookah time café, and we were not very impressed with game time lounge. The people were nice, but also very pushy. You should try this you should upgrade this hose, it wasn’t the relaxing time we were looking for. And people keep saying you get unlimited coals, but that’s not really necessary because your tabacco burns up after about 2 – 3 coals anyways. The flavor was good, but it wasn’t very smooth and it burned quicky and became harsh. I don’t think I’ll be going back, I’ll stick to hookah time café.

It’s a good hookah bar. You get ice hoses and unlimited coals.
The only problem I have is that when you share a hookah that isn’t yours they sometimes try to charge you extra which makes no sense. Drinks are also over priced

Having a great time DJ really cares about the customers quality of drink and hookah smoothness. She’s awesome. She even will change the music to your preference. Just do it once because it’s not cool to keep changing the song. Had a great time defiantly grab a coffee or tea while your puffing away.

Very nice and clean place, and service is great. Hookah is top notch.

I recently held a private party at this place and it was a success! They are very helpful at game time and really do go above and beyond with making sure their customers are happy. As for their hookah, it is really good. There is a variety of flavors you can choose from as well.
The ambience there is relaxing. It’s a really nice place to just go hang out. I’ve been there prior to the party I hosted there and have been satisfied! Whether you want to go with a group of friends or with one or two, this is the place to go. What I found to be pretty awesome was the fact that they have bubbles too (that is a plus!). Give this place a try, you won’t regret it! It is a great place to host a party (the place has an area for private parties), or to go hang out!

Amazing service, cheap hookah, and free drinks with purchase! Great atmosphere and overall experience. I’ll definitely be coming again.
