Sambuka Lounge

My self and 3 other friends stopped by to have a drink last Thursday night, the security and people at door were really nice. However the waitress was pushy and rude, we sat down and waitress approached us we put in our drink order and was told cash only and that there was a ATM in the club. I walked over with one of my friends and waitress followed us and stood there looking over our shoulders. We got money out atm and handed her the $40. That would cover the first round of drinks. The waitress brought our drinks over, they were watered down, I ordered a shot and no lie I thought she was giving me a empty cup. 2 min after waitress came back and literally harassed us for a tip, we kept saying we plan on ordering more drinks, and she kept insisting on a tip. This was embarrassing and I will never go back again . We did leave her a tip but nothing compared to what she would have made if she was not so pushy. I do not recommend this place to anyone, it’s not homey, it’s not a relaxed environment.

Terrible terrible place! Security people were nice but the rest I can’t say the same. It was a group of four trying to have a good night. We got a table ordered hookah and a bucket of beers, were planning on getting a bottle but decided to dance a little first. Worst idea!! As soon as we came back to our table there’s was another group of people sitting in our table!!!???? and instead of apologizing the server was rude and had an attitude towards me. Wow really? We left and I don’t think we are coming back our night was ruined.

If you are Latin and looking for a place to call home. I am Rican. And have been looking in Atl for 20 yrs. It it’s gonna be the next Copa/fFun House / 10/18 . Managements great. Dominican. But will open to cater to all Latins. Bachata, Salsa ,Regetton. Club. But when the dance floor is packed. It is on. Come join us Saturday’s Ask for Eddie. Will get you going. .

Swung in with my bestie while in town. It's an 18+ (under 21 get their hands marked for no alcohol) hookah lounge with bar, dance floor, small stage, and VERY small VIP area. Somehow we got in without paying a cover fee even though I believe they do have one. It was very loud but there was already a decent crowd at 1130 a live band was setting up to play. It seems to be predominantly Hispanic, as in all the music and live band were Latin styles and the club announcer spoke in both English and Spanish. All of this, plus we the awesome venue, made me really excited for my night. Then, after going up to the hostest twice to figure out who our waitress was and being told she would be right there, it took her over 30 minutes to come see us. Small hookah for 20, large for 30, refills for 10, and coals for 2. After ordering the hookah it took a short bit for it to come out. The hookah flavor was slight and hit so light. We also ordered some fries, which were cheap and crispie... but obviously were being fried in the same oil as fish sticks or calamari because they had a putrid fish flavor. There was an older couple that had a table looking over the dance floor just across from up, hookah or food. And then our waitress tried hovering over me while singing the bill and writing in her extra tip which she didnt get after discussing the extra charge and I realized she already got tipped. This place had so much potential, but the poor management and unprofessional practices of the business just made me very uncomfortable. There was a good crowd and people seemed friendly so I'm sure if circumstances were different this place could be a lot of fun.

Gave it 2 stars cuz the place is fun. But shady workers. I was charged twice for my first drinks and paid for my hooka even thought I was payin v.I.p. comes with it plus a bottle. Smh. Then gave the girl $25 cash to charge my card $25 for one of my $50 purchases and kept the $25 and charged my card 50. Just noticed today. Will never go to that place again. Shady ass people.

Came here Friday night, ladies night! We got free wells and entry before 12. The music was FIRE. Great mix of reggaeton, bachata, a little salsa, a little hip hip hits. I NEVER stay out past 3, but we got there at about 11:30 and danced for the majority of that time because each song was construction great! A fair amount of people dancing, chilling, smoking hookah. Bar tenders are attentive and nice. Parking isn't a problem- it's in a shopping center. I was told the DJs from La Rumba came here after it shut down. Whether true or not, if you're looking for a more fun, chill, young, yet energetic crowd and don't hesitate to come!
