Red Room Hookah Lounge

Had a good Time & Would come back. Recommend It !

Hookahs are trash. Only thing I liked was the environment. But if you’re looking for a good bowl of shisha this is not the place to go. I was disappointed because I heard good reviews about this place. Maybe if I’m in the area in the future I’ll give it a second chance but wouldn’t be a go to.

This is a good place. And I drive 12 miles to come here when I have other Hookah places close by.
The quality of Hookah and the service have always been good except for today.
This may be a one time thing but I would like to put it out there.
The service sucked today — literally. We had to wait very long for coal replacements and had to go to the front desk many times. In spite of that, we could manage to get the guy once and the first question he asked was ‘Is this your first time here?’ I had tried to brush off the existing coal and one of it had shifted to the center. He cited that as a reason of it feeling harsh. The coal has almost burned out and we were getting almost no smoke. I’m a Hookah connoisseur and have been to almost all Hookah Lounges in the South Bay.
Secondly, we had to wait longer for the next 2 coal changes and every time we got up to talk to the staff we were told that the coal guy will go to each Hookah and if he’s not coming that means they’re heating the coal. I saw them coming to the ones right opposite us and changing the coal but completely ignoring us for some weird reason.
We sat there for almost 2 hours and our Hookah experience was ruined. Having more customers is not an excuse since they should be efficient at managing crowd. That’s what service is and that’s what we tip for.

Great place to chill w/​friends, lots of space, good music, venue is done well, nice variety of tobacco, service is good.

i enjoyed the atmosphere, coal guys are cool and attentive (good rotation), the music gets a little too girly sometimes though lol
Oh yeah the hookah if good but I’m not too knowledgeable on what’s poppin and what’s not in that field sooo don’t take my word #lemonmint for me

This is my favorite hookah place! I love the sweet and adorable ladies that work here! Also there’s a cute puppy that’s here from time to time. The hookah is always clean and fresh tasting — it’s rarely harsh. They have a cool rewards program too.

Finally one opened in my area. Small crowded compared to others. Swinging hookah is still my fav. This place is just convenient. You have to sit with other people which I’m not a fan of. But workers are nice. Can’t hear the music, just people’s conversations. But they have playing cards.

Came here after like 3 months of not coming and their hookahs have really gone down. They use single use disposable hoses that don’t hit at all. Probably won’t come back.

Almost missed this place because it’s kind of tucked away in a sketchy little dark plaza.
Best friend wanted to hookah for her birthday so I couldn’t deny her. She’s the one who decided on this place.
Parking was dark with no lights around. It felt like we were entering a secret club. Gus sitting outside staring us down as we entered didn’t make me feel any safer.
Receptionist greeted us upon entry and we picked our flavors. I think we went with some some fruity flavor. We sat down on a comfy couch next to another couple. It’s a very lounge-​y place. Hookah was brought over to us in a timely manner and coal was changed at least once.
Hookah isn’t really my thing so I got bored after our time was up. Overall it was a good hookah joint.

I’ve been coming to Red Room for a while now and have no clue as to why I haven’t wrote a review yet!
Amazing hookah!
Is almost all you need to know to come here, but there is more, service is great! Everyone is always friendly, and they show that they thoroughly enjoy what that do.
The set up is cute! It’s great for groups and great for a date.
The hookahs are always clean! And they give out disposable hoses every time. Which I love!
The main attraction for me is their Tangiers.
I’m very familiar with hookah and Tangiers, that being I am very picky with it and they never fail!
They know exactly what they are doing!
And I love coming here! (All the way from San Mateo!)
A must stop!

Walked in and immediately stopped by the host informing me there is no outside drinks allowed (i had a water bottle with me)
After placing my bottle in the car, we were seated pretty quick.
We ordered a house flavor named Karma, it wasn’t anything special, I wouldn’t get it again.
There are some rules, no feet allowed on the furniture, and bowls must be refilled after 2 hours.
Atmosphere is your typical hookah lounge, top 40 music and dimly lit.
We ordered a Lavoo, possibly the most unique product offered on the menu as it is an all glass hookah. Air flow felt a little harder than usual. And we were not provided tongs unlike the other traditional hookah. The hose is a disposable one, definitely a big turn off in my opinion
If you’re looking to hookah, I highly recommend Cloudz (about 4 miles away), the pricing is roughly the same, the flavors offered is larger, and their ‘glass hookah’ exclusive I believe are better made (our purge valve flew out when we tried to purge).

Not really the best place to hookah in my opinion…
I came here on a Saturday night with a couple of friends and it was quite busy. Upon arrival one of my friends brought a bottle of water with him because it was habitual for him to do so. When we got in they told him that they don’t welcome outside drinks. My friend then went back to his car to put his water bottle back.
We looked over the menu and we decided to get the Karma flavor (tangerine dream, bluemist, safari melon dew). When our hookah came out, I realized the hose was made out of plastic. I’ve never been to a hookah place where the hose was plastic. I mean, I guess it’s a good way to recycle the hose if you don’t constantly want to clean a hose. They also sell extra hoses if you want another hose.
They hookah flavor was mediocre. Nothing too memorable for me. I also think they put mint in it and I don’t really like mint. We also decided to get a Fumo (a glass container hookah set). The Fumo was a little funny looking because they added color to the water and the color they put in ours was blue. It reminded me of dish soap so smoking it wasn’t as satisfying as I thought it would be.
When one of the hostess walked by, one of my friends was sitting Crisscross applesauce (or Indian style if you don’t know what crisscross apple sauce is) and she told him to take his feet of the furniture. I personally thought that was rude. Most hookah places aren’t as knit picky as this place.
One of the other things that ticked me off was when our coals needed to be refilled the person who was refilling our coal didn’t even acknowledge us. Like he didn’t say «do you need to refill on coals?» Or «how is the hookah? Are your coals feeling a little light?»
This is my first time here and it will be my last. I am glad that I tried this place out because now I appreciate other hookah places better than this one.

*Not a fan of the lay out, service, ambience, or hookah*
The nice thing is that its located close enough to SJ eateries open ²⁴⁄₇.
Usually lounges have like a neat ethnic feel that inspires some kind of energy.
Not this spot.
Seating arrangement is awkward. Playlist is no fun. Decent menu.
Shared parking lot.
I’d rather go to a lounge up north.

The master! The bomb! The king!
Love here
Good hookahs
Nice place
Not a ghetto place and good to hangout
Great customer service best in san jose

GREATEST HOOKAH IN THE SOUTH BAY!!! I always get lemon mint white gummy. It’s always smackin. Best customer service.
You don’t have to compete to get anyone’s attention. The staff is professional they never rock wife beaters with sandals and socks like every other hookah lounge in all of Cali.
They have HD tv with whatever game that’s supposed to be watched on. No whack bay area hyphy music. No stupid old movies playing.
Outside patio area with fire pits are bomb at night. It’s not super dark to the point where you cant identify anyone in the room like other spots.
Well lit. Beautiful design and ambience. This is the place to be.

I have been smoking hookah with friends in Bay Area and red room hookah lounge is the best hookah lounge I’ve ever been in. Carlos and Tamana kept this hookah lounge really clean and cozy.
Their glass hookahs are superb.

My girls and I came here after eating dinner since it was really close by to where we had dinner. The workers are actually so nice. They made us feel welcome there.
Us girls treated our self to the glass hookah. We had lemon mint, ambrosia and white gimme. The glass hookah hit really well. We didn’t have any disappointment on that
The environment overall was really good. I’d definitely come back to this spot whenever I come to San Jose

I’m diggin’ the spot! It’s located inside this middle eastern type plaza that’s pretty much ran down. Some of the local stores around look like they’re out of business and not doing too well.
Red Room looks like one of these shops as well. From the outside, it doesn’t look appealing and instead looks like a hardware store that’s barred up from the outside. When you enter in, it’s whole different story. The walls are dark red, dim lighting, nice black leather lounging furniture, smooth stone grounds, clean setting, etc.
The hookahs here are clean and up to date. Their hookah hoses are thick and comfortable for grip. My bro in law and I took about a good hr and half with our single flavor. It did get really bitter at the end and harsh to puff but otherwise it was good. We smoked this popular flavor called elixir which had lemon mint, white grape and some other flavor. This was a pretty good mix but I’ve had better.
Overall, this place is awesome! I do like how it gives off this VIP/​Lounge feel. There’s separate areas for a more intimate vibe with friends or a date. I’m def coming back!

I would call this a hidden gem. The staff are extremely nice! Been here twice now and the prices are affordable.
Very chill spot to be.
Make sure to get the glass hookah. It’s soooooo cool
Exlir is my favorite along with watermelon mint!

Red Room is an excellent hookah lounge. I’m totally green when it comes to the stuff, but the staff was real helpful getting us set up, offering recommendations and swinging by with hot coals when we needed it.
Love how they have a few TVs in here with the game — makes it great to BS in here. Just make sure to grab yourself some bottled water or something — they don’t have glasses available.
