"Reserve a spot at this Old Fourth Ward hookah lounge for a low-key night out or date night. Along with specialty hookah blends, you can count on great music, specialty cocktails, and sophisticated small plates like crab cakes and lamb lollipops." - Vox Creative
Went on 1.22.22 This was a spot I been trying to go to for a while, since I live in the area... Greeted quickly when we walked in. Wasn't crowded and got seated at the back bar... Drinks were cool.. I had already been drinking so i don't know if the drinks were truly strong... Music was good. Server was cool n had great service until..( I'll leave her name out because I'm not here to call her out) . Just writing this here so it can be done better.
My date was past her limit from earlier drinks from another location.. And I knew that.. I cut her off because I know her and could tell she was done... She still had a good amount of long Island left but I told our server she is done I'm cutting her off throw these away.... She proceeds to avoid me and give the drinks back to my date and I kept saying no she is done Im cutting her off.. Of course my date isn't going to say no but again I grab the drinks and say no she is past her limit again tries to give the drinks back... Finally she got the clue I was very serious because I didn't want her to drink anymore.... Finally she took them and threw them away...
I say this just to say when someone says were done.. Throw the drinks away..
Still overall good experience.

Meh... It's cute in there, plenty of space. Plenty parking, Live DJ, No Cover. However...overpriced, small, full of ice, weak drinks. It's dark and very loud. They charge tax and 18% gratuity on drinks. Most menu items they don't have. The Location: Tucked in the cut, not easily to see from road.

I like the atmosphere and vibe but the food is over priced, the shots are small, and they force an 18% gratuity whether you're dining in or doing take-out. I ordered wings and fries to go. They gave me 6 wings and half of them were undercooked. My total came up to almost $25 with no drink. I still don't understand why gratuity was charged when nobody even checked up on me or spoke to me while I waited for my food. They do not take precautions for Covid. None of the staff wears a mask.

Took my wife out to this location because it was near our house so it was convenient to not have to deal with traffic. When we entered the place there was music blasting(primarily trap music) while the TVs were showing Monday Night football. Our waitress took our food and drink orders and our drinks came out first. Can’t lie the drinks were pretty good. Unfortunately things would go downhill from there. First our food took over 40 minutes to come out and my other dish took an additional 20 minutes to come out and the mash potato was cold. The waitress wasn’t the most attentive and when I asked for the check we discovered that they charged us an additional $24 for ordering salmon on our Philly sub but the menu nor the waitress mentioned such an up charge. We asked the manager about it and all he could say is “I’m Sorry” and couldn’t explain why there was nothing stating an up charge for salmon. I was over it so I paid and left vowing never to go back there again. As you can see in the photo there is no mention of an up charge for salmon

My server was AWESOME! We had a large crowd and was one of the 1st to order. She always kept coming around to make sure we were taken care of. Unfortunately, I don't remember her name 😕
Don't order the chicken wings, they taste good but too darn small for the price point.

Pulled up and was walking in at 7:30pm on weekend. An employee & security guard were standing outside with doors & lights on. They immediately said they weren't open even though their business hours said they were. I won't waste my time with this location on Morrow. We went over to Skybox and had a blast! It's just down the street. Music & Vibes

Loveeee this location !! The bartenders were soo nice and helpful and seem like they enjoy there job and welcomed us with smiles . I ate prior to coming so I did not try their food. The music selection was kinda on the boring side the DJ played r Kelly a few times 👀 and they closed down a hour earlier than the website says. However overall , the drinks were made really good and the hookah service was excellent. I will definitely be returning.

This was our third time visiting CRU. Always a nice environment. Food is good but a little pricy. Drinks are good as well. They also have hookas and allow smoking. Have fun!

As soon as you walk into "CRU", you immediately feel welcomed! I went for my birthday on a chill type of time & was turnt by the end of the night. Drinks hit right, food of choice were the quesadillas and they were on point! Hookah is a must buy if you pull up , fire flavors! Super lit and respectful staff members. Best atmosphere / lounge experience that i've had since i been in GA & i've been in GA for a year and some change. Highly recommend & for sure making my way back!

I've been to three different CRU lounges and Morrow, GA is definitely my favorite one. Plenty of free parking. Servers and bartenders are always nice. Food is good and drinks are strong :)
I've been here a couple of times and each experience has been 4/5 or 5/5. One time the cook was late and the kitchen didn't "open" until about 45 minutes after the time we were told. I think it was around 7pm, but nonetheless Morrow is the best one.
