La Pura Vida

Tried this place with my love ❤️ it was such a great vibe! Especially with Valentine’s Day being around the corner! The atmosphere was decorated so cute 🥰, DRINKS AND FOOD WAS SOOOOO GOOD !!!! Definitely will be back!

Graham is the best ! I had so much fun with my friends on a Monday at that! Fast service great drinks and baby the hookah was fabulous! Definitely will be back with my friends 🥳🥳

I was overly impressed with the steak and potatoes. Seriously, SO good. 🔥 Pizza and Margaritas were bangin’ as well. I have to give Graham his flowers. He was very attentive and a great bartender all around. I left my purse after our drinks and he was gracious enough to put it aside for me. I picked it up the next day. I can’t thank you enough, Graham! We will be back.

The bartenders make the best drinks, they’re friendly, attentive, and have the best energy I’ve ever seen in any other bar in Atlanta. You have to come and visit on a Saturday, it’s so fun!

Food is really good here! Really good tapas and pizza! Weekends are really fun. I like that there are two dance floors.

Has a small menu, but all the food is Delicious! 😋 Of you're going just for dinner and not the music, best to go during the week, when they are not so crowded. No call in orders to go, you must order at the restaurant. Definitely worth the trip. 😊

Best place in Marietta/Smyrna! The bartenders are amazing, great hookahs, vibes and food! Karaoke on Thursdays is so much fun! Nellie is my new favorite karaoke DJ!

Came here with my wife for Latin night. Had a blast. Graham was our bartender. Devilishly handsome, charismatic, would probably make a good cult leader. Food was excellent, service was great. Would definitely recommend.

Food was absolutely disgusting Chips were burnt and stale somehow? Waitress kept pressuring to buy more. Would not go back

Extremely inconsiderate to the surrounding apartments. They play their music to the maximum volume with the back door to the kitchen open. How are people supposed to sleep??

This place has good music and I like that there's an actual dance floor. They have a connecting restaurant that also has another DJ that plays reggae/afrobeats/modern music on that side. I think the drinks are a little pricey and it's cash only (they have an ATM). If you're looking for a Spanish vibe, I definitely still recommend checking out.

Came for a random night out. This place is open later than other spot which is nice but parking is a pain. We didnt go in because theyre cash only and no one had cash. I might try it again if i'm on this side of town and have cash. Note: They have an ATM but the fee is ridiculous.

Graham is always great and nice to us. He is always very attentive to our needs and makes great drinks. They have hookah and really tasty food that comes out fast. The jukebox is hand so we could play whatever songs if we were willing to pay. Had a great time at the pool table and he even took care of us on the other side

This place sucks. Bad music, bad food, just skip it. Service is ok, but why bother? Save yourself the trouble and just go somewhere else in Smyrna or Marietta

NEVER COME HERE! They just tried to charge me $20 for a drink, even though I come here all the time and pay $13 each time. I ordered a 1800 lemon drop. There's a 1800 drink on the menu for $13. The shot is $10. Where does $20 come from?!? When I asked the manager about it, he wanted to argue with me about why it was justified. WTF?!? Y'all need patrons! How dare you argue over a few bucks with a regular?!? SAD!!! They won't get my money anymore! Keep pissing your guests off; only a matter of time until the bar is something else/has a different name yet again. Because every few years it changes due to poor management. This is a prime example! Save yourself some grief. Hit a different local bar.

I attended a birthday party here couple nights ago. I have been on the side of town since I moved away actually so I forgot this little plaza was here. Thankfully because it was Fourth of July weekend and early enough, I found a parking I look throughout the parking lot and it's a straight shot and it seems pretty safe. The bar has two sections actually, 2 1/2. It looks like you have plenty a room to dance in another room for dancing and eating and another girl for a private parties. It has a great tiki Bar feel. The music was great the energy was light but fun and my drink was amazing. I had a margarita made to my specifications without triple sec and it was perfect! I appreciate the bartender being so accommodating. I'll be back for drinks. I think this place will be fun this summer!

The atmosphere is chill and you can control the music using an app (which is good and bad depending on your taste). The food was good but we had asked for no tomatoes on one of the items ordered due to an allergy, and got tomatoes. However, the mistake was corrected swiftly and the other orders came quickly as well. Unfortunately, while a member of my party was eating, the hostess came over, asked if he was done eating, and before he got to answer, put garbage on his plate and took it away... HE WASNT EVEN DONE. Eventually we asked for a manager and she pointed us to another colleague, who when we asked, let us know he was not the manager. He then proceeded to help us out. While I want to give a good review due to the ambiance and the quality/price of the food, the attitude and the lack of attentiveness from the hostess, led me to do otherwise. Highly disappointed, I'll return but hopefully, if she's working, she has a better attitude.

fee at door & it's cash only. Gratuity is included 18% even though no body was coming up to the table for service we had to order hookah & drinks through the bar. The ambiance was cool & the music was alright.

the servers were great but this place is ghetto and makes you feel unsafe. The need for four security guards and a security guard that constantly walks back and forth past you on the patio is sketchy I'm pretty sure nobody's going to jump the gate and run off on their tab. The hookah is $40 and it literally went out two minutes after we got it. This restaurant is not in the city so I'm unsure why the hookah is that expensive when the hookah sucks.They also ask to hold a card and ID for the hookah which is ridiculous, ghetto and unprofessional. The food is disgusting, this place sucks and I will never be back. Their was also a ten dollar cover charge which is also remedial due to the fact that the place isn't a club but a restaurant. I'm pretty sure a restaurant can get shut down for doing that exact same thing.

Only been a few times but I have always liked the atmosphere and had a good time even with a little misunderstanding on an order here and there . But last night when I was about to pay out my tab the bartender said "oh I'm so sorry we are going to pay have to pay for your tab because you don't have a form of payment, the other bartender gave away your card because it looked like the other guests and they thought it was his" like was no big deal. I was shocked at the time, expressed my concern but didn't do much but cancel my card and leave. Today I called just to express to a manager that it was unprofessionally handled. I even said I know there isn't anything you can do now but I just wanted to make you aware of the situation. This man was extremely rude and kept saying "well we payed for your tab what more do you want from me. You canceled the card and I'm sure it'll be there in two days" It wasn't a high tab and it wasn't about the money. I ended the call quickly because he clearly wasn't going to express sympathy. I'm extremely disappointed. I was planning to come back until the conversation with this manager. I will not be back, at least not for a long time nor will I ever give them my card.

If I could give 0 stars I would. The service is horrible and I don't think they actually know how to do hookahs and they are charging rates as if they are great hookahs. My hookah came out two separate times and was burnt within 5 mins when I tried to show the employees what was wrong with the hookah they had the audacity to say I poked a hole in the hookah. Stay away from this business

Great food, service and hookah. Even during Covid I enjoyed the patio and music. The wings were amazing and what ever fries they had were fresh and crispy. Can't wait to go back!

Our waiter was great! I enjoyed the specials! Cheap drinks, good hookah, and tasty food. The pizza was good my chicken taco was missing some seasoning but not bad at all. I would definitely return. However, I did not like that it was junk box so you had to pay to get any good music.

Great happy hour. $2 tacos and half off well drinks! Can't beat it! I loved the shrimp taco!! Graham was my server, he was spectacular!

Isaac was super sweet and attentive!!! I really enjoyed the service & recommend going to this spot !!!!!!!

New name same old J's Lounge. Rude staff, bad food and over priced drinks. $10 entry for this smh Hookahs are bad and taste burnt

This bars is so a rip off and the bartenders are adding their own tips to the bill placing like this are not hopefully some inspectors there and shut the place down

My new hang out! Graham is dope. The food is good and the drinks are strong. The hookah is only $20 and is half off Mondays and Tuesdays after 8! The entry is $10 on Fridays and Saturdays and they have a Latina music section and a hip hop section as far as djs go. They revamped the old j's lounge completely and i had written this place off as a nogo back then. Then they are open late! Can't lose

Cool place but Jay the bartender not engaging. Makes you want to leave. When i am there with other they create a welcoming environment.

Honestly the worst hookah bar we've ever been to. Scammers are a thing and they will scam you and tell you they charge gratuity. Don't go, be careful and save yourself!!! Go anywhere else they demand that they HOLD your actual credit card

Yummy food and drinks!! We went on a Thursday and it wasn't busy but looked super fun

Service could be so much better. Quality of hookah is below standard for a spot in ATL

I literally hate this place. The manager is cheap and horrible. Had something in my drink and instead of giving me a new drink he just filled my drink up to the few sips I took. Please go somewhere else. Drinks are watered down too. Smh.

Nice bar with 2 sides. Latin / Hip Hop. Good food and drinks on both sides. $10 cover charge. Came here on a SAT night around 1:30am Memorial Day Weekend...not crowded. This place is located in Smyrna off of Windy Hill. Good Vibes.

I gave this place 3 chances and they have let me down. This establishment is cheap as HELLLLLL. A bug was in my drink and they only remade HALF my drink because the original drink was half way drunk. I'm sorry I didn't notice the bug PRIOR to drinking the liquor. Also, this location charges a 18% gratuity for orders without telling you. Why the hell would I pay $5 for you to bring me ONE drink? I probably won't come back here until management has changed. The manager was very non-Chalant when I questioned him about everything. Smh. DO NOT COME HERE. Also, pool table layout is too close. We need space to actually play a decent game.

If I could give zero stars I would. This place could and should be good but it's not because they are money hungry. They have HORRIBLE customer service. Their hookahs are trash but you have to give them your license and cars while you use it. It never blew strong and it burned quickly. We were there is a party of 6 and ordered a lot of food and drinks. We found a blonde hair in 1 of our wing orders and when we showed them that said well my hair is brown. WTF!?!?! Once the check came I asked why they didn't take them off of our $350 bill she replied of honey you are most of them before you found the hair. Seriously!?!?! You are acting like this over some $10 wings? Why not do the right thing by your customers? I would not spend my money at this so called establishment. There are way better places with cheaper prices and better customer service.

So i came jus to with a friend jus to chill have a drink hear some good music.The bar was rude and didn't get my order right then i paid for lemon pepper wings they brought me bbq then i waited another hr jus to get my wings. The wings was cold and fries was trash. I asked for the manager just to give the wings back so i can go to Waffle House or something else it took him forever to finally get to me.music was ok service trash definitely will think twice before I go back

This place is awesome! Very cool environment, nice people... very friendly they smile at you and give you good service, the music is good! Love it! The owners are very nice and take care of their clients and employees... the food is delicious my favorite is big papi burger with tots, or steak nachos, yummy !!!! Very nice place to hang out and have fun!

The food was unbelievably inaccurate. So disappointing. I ordered a quesadilla and got a slab of grilled chicken-solo, no cheese or tortilla. I also ordered a wrap that came out completely wrong.

First time here--picked it because it was nearby to where I was and had hookah. Atmosphere is cool, and I like that it has a patio. Ordered a hookah, which took forever to come out even though the place had 5 guests in it (not exaggerating, it was 5pm on a Saturday). When the hookah came, I immediately noticed that there were flecks of something floating around in the vase. Asked them to change it, which they did. However, the hookah wasn't very strong and didn't really taste like the citrus mint we ordered. I ordered a shrimp taco since my friend had one and it looked good--turns out it had zero flavor. My drink was also watery. I noticed that the couple next to us also sent their hookah back because there was stuff in it--it looked like the waiter gave them the hookah we sent back. Obviously they don't clean those things. If i go back here, I won't be having any hookah.

Drinks were good. Food presentation was good. Service was good. The music on the hip hop side was okay. The dj seamed a little confused on what to play for the mixed crowd present. Suggest he study his crowd

If I could give zero stars I would. This place is a scam. I went on Halloween and the bartender took it upon herself to keep her own tip. Our drink was 13 and we handed her a 20 and she gave us 5 back and when we asked where the rest was she was like gratuity is Included. I then asked what gratuity was and she said 18% which is definitely not 3 dollars! I just went there today jan 15 and went to order a hookah and they were adamant that they keep my card like actually hold on to my card and said they're unable to start a tab due to the system they have and not return it to me. I asked to just pay for the hookah then and they were like we still need to keep your card. This place is a SCAM! Be careful.

It is a very nice and attractive atmosphere. The layout is very great . Hookah was sooooo good. The best I have had in a while lol !!! . Food was ok but I have ha better
