Jack’s Hookah Bar

comming soon to jack’s hookah bar… argelini shisha! fresh, new and flavors are awesome.

Good music, nice people, fantasia, AL Fakheer, starbuzz, fumari, and haze flavors. They don’t sell alcohol but for $ 3.99 you can BYOB. They have a good menu and the staff can help pick out the right flavor for you. The place is casual, good place to work on home work, work or read during the week. Even better place to hang out and have fun on the weekends.

This place is amazing! Is so great to hangout here with your friends and just have great conversations. And even if you’re alone the staff makes sure you’re well taken care off. I been coming here for a couple years and it’s always been a great experience, at any day of the week. So I definitely recommend this place:)

A very laid back, straight edge place. Not too crowded. Use the bathroom at least once. Wish it had food or beer. Gambling is available next door.

:D
Its amazing place to chill out and relax. The prizes are reasonable and the ambience is amazing and relaxing.

I want to point out that due to current laws, this place is not BYOB. However, we talked to the person running the lounge that night, and they are working to change that, hopefully within a couple of months or so. They do offer N/​A drinks, though. And just so everyone is aware, they do not offer food. I don’t go to hookah lounges for food, but in case you are one of those people that do, FYI.
The seating is excellent. My boyfriend and I had a wrap-​around couch which was very cozy and intimate. The other seating looked comfortable too, couches and other chairs, not a lot of table/​chair seating. I don’t find table/​chair arrangements to be the most comfy for hookah, so it was great to see a wider selection. There are two big screen TVs that had movies going and soft, quiet music.
The individual who ran the lounge was beyond awesome-​he gave us great suggestions for what kinds of flavors were good, asked us about our preferences, and was constantly attending to our coals. And since it was obvious we were on a date, he gave us a little bit of privacy, too.
Apparently they also have comedians and bands on certain nights. Much better than the last hookah lounge we went to in Chicago (far exceeded our expectations in terms of service and ambiance) and I know we will back again in the future!

Really disappointed by Jack. Never been too impressed by his cigars. He can never seem to get the humidity right in his humidor. Last night I went in to meet two friends for a cigar and was told by an employee that there’s a «two cigar minimum now» if you want to smoke one there. I’ve always bought one cigar from him and then gone to smoke it on the hookah side. I thought I’d double check with Jack the owner about this. He was pretty rude and told me that the last time I was there with a friend who brought his own cigar. I said I understand and that I’m not responsible for my friend. I said I bought a cigar from you though and you didn’t say anything about a two cigar minimum. He said yes you only bought a «$ 6 cigar though… I can’t make any money on that.» It really disappointed me that he acted like this to me. He lost a customer and I will not only never be back but I will ensure that none of my friends do either.
**EDIT**
To be clear, I don’t begrudge a business owner the right to set rules or change prices or anything else to ensure their business is profitable. I completely understand this and wouldn’t have minded paying a cover charge to come in, buy a cigar and be able to smoke it on the hookah bar side. Or having a «two cigar minimum» would be fine too if I was able to come in and smoke the second cigar at another time. I just don’t want to have to buy two cigars, then have to smoke them both there and then (it takes a good hour to smoke the cigars I like). Otherwise I’m sure that if I tried to bring it back later to smoke the second one it would look like I’m trying to bring a cigar from home into his place.

Very upscale for the Rockford area. There are many events that take place throughout the week along with a fine selection of hookah flavors and cigars. The staff is amazingly friendly and the owner is just as cool. You can bring in your own alcohol for a $ 3 per person charge. It is a great way to relax in a comforting environment and smoke indoors. With TVs and movies and live music on occasion, how could you say no to one of the coolest spots in town? a
