Tabac

A convenient hookah cafe in the downtown San Diego to take a break and relax with their drinks and hookah. Unique with their decorations that takes you to the Middle East and specifically Turkey. The place is furnished with new hookas and they have their unique style with presenting the drinks with the pots. The service is fast, but replacing the coco nara coals is very slow. You need to say something about it in the beginning or tip the guy maybe

Great gem in the heart of downtown San Diego! Tabac Lounge in San Diego is truly a gem! I recently had an exceptional experience there, and it's easily the go-to spot for the best hookahs in the city. The variety of amazing and unique drinks, paired with their tasty food, creates a perfect trifecta for a fantastic night out. What sets Tabac Lounge apart is not just the outstanding offerings but also the incredibly warm and friendly night staff. They go above and beyond to ensure every customer feels welcome and has a memorable time. The combination of top-notch service, delightful hookahs, and a menu that tantalizes the taste buds makes Tabac Lounge a standout destination. I can't recommend it enough for those seeking a genuinely enjoyable and welcoming atmosphere in San Diego. When you go there, ask for Fatima and Sezgin !

Only giving 4 stars because the Turkish waitresses are nice, despite your race. They’re gracious and their hospitality is unmatched. However, the Arab owners & customers are very rude (they all seem to know each other and share a mutual disdain towards the black race). They greet every ethnicity except black people. They also give dirty looks if you’re black. The atmosphere is quite intimidating and unfriendly due to the Arabs superiority complex over other races. If they could, they’d probably have a sign saying “no blacks” like they do in their home countries, but this is the USA, and such behavior isn’t allowed. I’m only giving 4 stars due to the sweet Turkish waitresses, they put my mind at ease.. If it weren’t for them, I would give this establishment a 1 star rating. Treat everyone with kindness, even if you deem them inferior.

One of the best lounges that I've been to! They offer a wide selection of shisha flavors, including Tangiers, and the hookahs are all high-end brands. The food and drinks there were delicious, I recommend the Ottoman pizza and the Turkish kabobs. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere of the lounge is great too. Very chill spot, but can get very busy and rightfully so, since this place is such a great lounge!
