One of the best hookah bars in the area. The name suits the location, it's a real vibe. Quality shisha, clean place, great music. The people here are trained how to make the shisha mixes perfect.

An excellent place to chill and relax with friends. They have playing cards and board games if you are in to that. The ambience is perfect. This is a lot better compare to the Sam's Hookah that is not too far from this one. The place is clean and staff is nice and friendly. Will definitely come back.

I gave 1 Star for a reason, that owner of this shop should realize how important to respond and take care if a customer reports a missing item. I went to this lounge on late Friday night Nov1st, I left the place around closing time and left my AirPods on my table. Soon after I realized, I called the shop next day and informed them, I left my AirPods, last location shown is your shop. Could you please check if it’s there or check CCTV. A brother who works there was very polite and he keeps checking with the owner. But it’s been 2 days and the owner never responded back checking cctv. This is super frustrating and sheer negligence. Is this how you treat your customer who reports that I miss something? Shisha is very good and waiter who serve was very polite. I got to give 4 stars for them.

TLDR: Store employees were behaving rudely with regard to a question I asked about wether the establishment was fully accessable for people with disabilities. Read more below for additional details Dear Vibes Hookah Lounge Management, I am writing this review to express my concern regarding a phone call I made to your store today around 5:45 PM. I spoke with a male employee who had a difficult-to-understand accent and seemed to have trouble comprehending my question about the store's accessibility for patrons with disabilities. He then transferred my call to a female employee who spoke English fluently. However, after hearing my question, she chose to hang up the call. I was disappointed by the lack of professionalism and courtesy displayed by these employees. I hope that my in-person store experience will be significantly better than my interaction on the phone. If I do visit the store, I will update this review to include details of my in-store experience. Update: Thank you to the store owner for his response and answering my question though. Apology accepted. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

I visited this place bec of the amazing reviews it has. I had so much nausea due to all the hookah smokes mixed and standing in the air, having been trapped with no escape. This place needs to have a vent system. The one they have absolutely sucks. I can't imagine anyone coming there in the later hours if this was how it was when they opened.

Recently discovered this lounge and it was a great experience. The staff is very knowledgeable, attentive, and quick to assist. They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from and the atmosphere is excellent. The music plays at the right volume and the place stays busy. Will be coming back 100%.

Strictly only a Hookah Lounge, so that's why it's so good. They do offer snacks in vending machines... Chinese ones, so there are no artificial colors or dyes in the snacks. Also, they offer water, sodas, and hot teas. You can also order food and they will allow you to eat it in the lounge. One of my favorite Hookah places in Maryland.

Yelp
Best hookah lounge I've ever been too! Super smooth hookah and very proactive staff. They go around every 15-30 minutes to makes sure the coals are still hot and have a bucket to replace them if needed. They have a huge list of flavors. We got the passion fruit mojito, super good starbuzz flavor. All flavors are the same price which is awesome because starbuzz is usually more expensive than al fakher almost everywhere else. They also sell hookahs there and flavors too. Because when customers come to smoke hookah they usually stay for a couple hours vibes has a poker table and board games you can play while chilling here. Not a super big place, but real clean with good vibes. FYI with first check in here you get 10% off.

Dont go to this place. They cannot seem to make good hookah, it was very burnt tasting and the worst hookah spot ive been to.

Miranda W.

Yelp
I really like this place. The hookah is smooth and because they don't have a kitchen you can bring your own food. I was thinking for a brief second how great it would be if they had a microwave but then I thought about how disgusting people are lol. It took about 15 minutes to get my hookah and no one was in there but they regained that star with how good the hookah was. *In Arnold Schwarzenegger* I'll be back.

A defining new moment for me trying hookah for the first time on Friday. I can tell you that it is definitely not my choice of a fun or relaxed time but my experience was nonetheless great. The lounge is next door to Class 520 and caters a very small, private lot of up to 15 - 20 cars at a maximum. The establishment is dimly lit but well furnished with several tables, chairs and couches. There's a single, gender-neutral bathroom in the back of the lounge for anyone to use. Everything is clean inside and outside the lounge and I appreciate the sanitary measures the employees take with wiping the areas and equipments. Their menu has extensive choices of flavors. I tried their Strawberry Mint which tasted subtle with a hint of sweetness. I don't have much to compare it to since it was my first time, but I did enjoy the flavor. You also have the ability to mix flavors which is a cool add-on. Service here is outstanding. The moment you walk in, you're immediately greeted and seated. My friends and I informed the staff that this was all our first time and they made the effort to explain their recommendations, most popular flavors and how our experience would work. I appreciated their patience with answering our questions and that they were continuously checking up on us. Yelp also has a 15% code available for use which ultimately brought our total to $20 amongst 4 people. Totally affordable and such a great deal. I personally would recommend this place to anyone looking for a hookah lounge in the area.

Its been a while since I've been there, but i've been there enough times I'll write a review. The atmosphere is excellent, the couch is comfy, but for whatever reason, when you are smoking the hookah and the coal runs out it takes workers so long to refill the coal (I think that's what its called) when you run out, which is frustrating. That being said, I recommend them for a fun time.

Great service friendly staff. Good hookah flavors. We had the AK hookah, super cool. It was quiet in the middle of the day, my kind of spot.

Nathalie R.

Yelp
I've given this place multiple chances. The customer service is horrible here. You might as well get an empty bowl because all the flavors taste the same- weak. The music is so loud you can't hear yourself think. The furniture is torn up and burnt and the entire place is filthy.

Sunshine R.

Yelp
Wonderful atmosphere to chill and smoke hookah. Their hookah is reasonably priced and they even have games u can play while u chill with friends. They don't serve food, but that wasn't a problem. There are several restaurants nearby and a Wendy's of your there late night and all The restaurants are closed. Music was on point. No negatives here.

5 stars as the best hookah lounge around the Rockville, MD. area. Great prices, good location, free parking on-site, good environment, plenty of seating, quick service, friendly & knowledgeable staff, good drinks(no alcohol here), top shisha brands, sports channel on TVs, good selection of music that isn't too loud, owner is often around to assist customers. Closest to a "legit" hookah lounge in the DC Suburb area. No sketchiness either, very professional. Hookah doesn't hit or pull super hard, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

THEY ARE SCAMMERS. Today I went to purchase Adayla tobacco, the price tag says $13.99 but they told me it's $15.99, while it's $15 every where but I agreed. Then I got surprised because on the receipt they charged me $16.99 !!!! I asked them about the price they said Oops it's $16.99!!?? I asked them to return the product but they refused because of no return policy!!!!!!!

Stopped by after eating dim sum to avoid traffic back to VA. The employees were all really nice and accommodating when I visited. They let me smell the different flavors so I could choose what I want which I appreciated. I got the mango mint which was pretty good! They also have piles of cards and some other games so my friends and I played Taboo. One of the employees even came and helped us out in the game! He was really sweet and friendly. I'd def come back if I'm ever in the area again. It's a low key and chill place to hang out, kill time, and smoke some hookah.

Nice chill place with good hookah and decent music. It's a nice relaxing vibe. I'll be back soon

This is by far the best hookah you will get in the great state of Maryland! I've been to my fair share of hookah lounges in the DMV area and this has been my experience so far: At vibes, the hookah is quality is phenomenal as well as the service being provided. The staff is extremely attentive and is pretty fun to talk to too. They really take the time and put in the effort to make sure you get a good hookah pack, and the best part is you can watch them make it right in front of you at the counter. Their flavor selection is crazy huge with over 200 flavors to choose from, personally I'm more of a grape mint guy, but I find myself usually trying a new mix every time I'm in there. They also offer a lot of add-ons like orange, grapefruit, pineapple, and watermelon fruit heads and ice hoses too! The thing about vibes is that they pay attention to the small details that add up an overall great experience. For example, you're greeted as soon as you walk in and are never left standing long at all. They are pretty quick with getting new coals to my hookah and are always happy to take a couple of minutes out of their day to have a chat. Overall, if you are looking for a hookah lounge that has a clean and fresh environment, with amazing service and even better hookah then Vibes is the place to go.

Vibes is probably my top 3 places to hang out and kick back with the boys. The music is almost always good. If football is on, it's on the tv and the hookah is smooth. IF you don't like the hookah, they're more then helpful and will make you a new bowl but I've only had that problem like 2 times in the last few years. Def recommend.

Jamshid M.

Yelp
Amateur hookah makers at best. They do not have a good command of what they are doing. It's probably one of the bottom 5 places I've been to in the world.

Arda S.

I've come here a separate 3 times, each for several hours. The first time wasn't bad but me and my friends ended up with a mild headache, not too bad. The second time was good but all ended up with a headache again. On the third time, I had a headache so bad that I couldn't pay attention to anything else. My friends had told me once we had gotten in the car that they went for a walk because they also had headaches at such a high magnitude. As for the hookah, it's not bad but I wouldn't say it's particularly good. The prices aren't bad for both regular and pineapple bowls but the smoke always comes off very warm unless you get an ice host which also doesn't last all that long. My guess is that the water is very warm which is resulting in warm smoke as well as the hose warming up more quickly than other places with ice hoses. They have a large flavor selection so I praise them on that, a lot of places don't carry Cherry but they do so both me and my friend got Cherry shisha. They don't seem to ask if you want anything to drink which can be a bit off-putting to new customers that don't know they have drinks or feel like they have to ask. You're not allowed to bring external drinks in there which is fine but they told one of my friends that and they even asked him if it was alcohol and I sort of felt he was racially profiled with the alcohol question. There are several sets of card games there, especially multiple sets of UNO. However their UNO cards are in terrible condition and they look as if someone brought them to the bathroom with them to use as toilet paper. It's pretty disgusting tbh. The guy I believe to be the owner is always pretty nice to us. Most of the other employees seem to be in more a neutral attitude. Except for the last guy that came in while we were there the third time. He seemed to have a distaste for our group but maybe I'm peering in too much about it. I had been also flipping a toy around and the guy I believe is the owner was completely fine with it. However this last guy had asked me to put it away so I felt it was banned from there on out. The seating was good but also seemed worn down, everywhere. They have several TV's as well in case you want to watch a game or the news. Overall, lots of flavors, decent prices, okay staff, mass inducing headaches, decent seating, heat gaining ice hoses and a little bit of profiling. I'd give it 3 stars out of 5 if the headache I got the third time wasn't as bad as it was. So 2 stars it is.

I went here last weekend for a birthday party. Nice music and great hookah. First time in years I've smoked hookah.

Michael A.

Yelp
Since my first visit, went here 2 more times in a span of almost 2 weeks. The times after the initial try were much better. The Pineapple Hookah tasted better and service was even more adequate compared to the first experience. Appreciate the complimentary coffee as well! Really enjoyed the visits with my friends. I believe I'll be back again...

The lights may be dim but this place is LIT!!!! The owner does not, in fact, have a mustache but he is very charismatic and friendly! He's so cool that he can make a fedora and button-up charming! He also gave out free cupcakes to everyone in the shop that night! What a champ. The interior is huge and there's a variety of seating options; you can choose from booths, tables, and couches. It's the perfect place to relax and have fun with your favorite people! The tables are mobile which makes Mustache Cafe accommodating for groups of all sizes. One hookah is $18 which is a bit more expensive than what you'd be paying in parts of DC where you can get them for $12 but it's worth it for the convenience and quality. I don't know of many hookah places in Montgomery County but I think it's safe to say that this place is my new favorite!

Thi V.

Yelp
Nice spot for a hookah session the Montgomery County. There are lots of different flavors, price is good, and tentative staff. However, parking is a bit difficult in the shopping center. I recommend to park across the Bank of America. My favorite flavor to try to blue mist with watermelon.

Karon W.

Yelp
Been here many times before pre-COVID19. Went in today only one was person staffed for service and hookah services. The "manager" Julian was completely unprofessional, continuously served other customers before me although I arrived first. After I addressed being serviced had a very rude and sarcastic attitude. Waited for 20 minutes to buy one hookah flavor.

Alexis C.

Yelp
I was visiting from New York and looking for a chill spot to catch the game and hookah. Check and check. This isn't a lounge in the traditional sense - it's way more chill. It's a mix between a college dorm lounge and the house everyone goes to pregame. No liquor - but all of the "cheat day" snacks. The day they add hot pockets, pizza rolls, and toaster strudels to the menu - it'll be lit! Good hookah. BYOF (Friends).

Recently found this place when I moved to Maryland. I was looking for a good Hookah spot to replace the one in Georgia I use to frequent a lot. I can't remember how I found Vibes but I thought I would give it a shot. It was my 3rd Hookah place and the other two were not good. Vibes is amazing. I go there to chill. Relax and work remotely. The wifi is very good, the music is great and not loud and intrusive. I like the atmosphere I go mostly during the day and i never have a problem finding a seat and most people seem like working professionals, like me, and students. The flavor selection is second to none. The service is first class, someone is always stopping by to check on you and change your coal. The staff is really attentive and I haven't met anyone yet that didn't have a smile on their face and appreciate me as a customer, even paying is easy. The Hookahs themselves are great. Well made, packed correctly and pull smoothly. The prices are super fair and actually cheaper than the other places I've visited and much cheaper than Atlanta. I've made this my new Hookah home. If you are a true Hookah fan or even a novice looking to try it out Vibes is a must.

Great hookah lounge! I was there for 2 hours my hookah did not run out. They came around with coals frequently. I enjoyed that the sold some drinks. I love the black tea.. Very clean and nice. This is a step up from the dark dingy hookah lounges. I simply had a wonderful time. I even work on my laptop and got some work done. Hit me up ThriveWithChianti.com & BeYouBeBeautifulByChianti.com

A very nice establishment we went pretty late at night it was 1am when me and another friend arrived. We were seated quickly, the place was crowded but not too crowded, nice mix of people with all good vibes (hence the name, ha!). The hookah was amazing we had a pineapple top with the house mixed with Guava. It was soo good. Will definitely be returning, and definitely recommend! P.S. - Staff was very friendly and fast service!

I've been coming here for a little over a year now and this place never disappoints! The name of this place is very symbolic as it depicts the mere factor of the setting. The place is clean, chill, great customer service, and very relaxing. There are games if you choose to play, you can bring in food, they sell soft drinks, there is an icecrem/bubble tea place next door, great music, and numerous flavors to pick from to smoke..including paan which is one of the best flavors! love coming here and they have great yelp offers that gives a discount upon checking in!

One of the best shisha and tea i have in dc area. Clean place, friendly staff and comfortable seating specially outside

Abbas B.

Yelp
Probably the best Hookah lounge I have been to in the DMV. They have no minimum purchase per person!!! I hate going to a hookah lounge and being forced to spend $12 per person or more. Hookah flavors were great and the staff was friendly and attentive. The crowd was young but were not causing problems for older people like us. The tea was also excellent. The place is really open and I do like hookah lounges with a bit more privacy but this place was so legit, I could understand why it was so crowded! Would come here again to hang out any day!!

Chanelle F.

Yelp
Chill place to sit relax and hookah. Place is dim so everybody seems to be minding their own business. Music is cool. And they infuse fruit in their hookahs, which is a good look. It's far out for me but worth the drive and they stay open late which is a plus. No liquor though so drink before you get there.

Hello, do you have a timeline, when do you think you are going to serve shisha again? Either inside, or outside?

Barbara W.

Yelp
Chill atmosphere, friendly hosts and staff, good ventilation, and frequent coal changes! This combo isn't easy to find at hookah spots in the area. Prices are reasonable especially when the hookah is still pulling smoothly after 3 hours. Not sure if they offer coco nara but that would be a huge plus! Only complaint is that some of the chairs are a bit uncomfortable unless you're on a couch, but this would only be an issue if the place is jam packed. Definitely coming back, especially with Kung Fu Tea right across the street!

Jesse L.

Yelp
I agree with the last review, it takes forever for them to actually serve the hookah, its annoying I had to ask them to hurry. I really don't think it should take them that long, but, its still an awesome place to spend a night, very relaxing, I can smoke there for hours.

Negin H.

Yelp
Went to mustache cafe with a group of friends this weekend and I have to say I am impressed!! This place is hands down the best hookah bar in MoCo! Loved the chill and modern design of this place. The staff were very friendly and laid back. The hookahs were great and there was a variety of flavors on the menu. What stood out to me the most was that this place was VERY CLEAN. I've always hated using the dirty bathrooms in other hookah bars in the area. But the entire place and the bathroom was very clean. I'd defiantly recommend this place and will go back soon!

The establishment as a whole was very inviting. Peaceful environment, great selection of music, and an overall laid-back setting. Wish that a liquor license could be obtained in this particular area, but visiting this spot was worth the trip!

This place is 'classy chill'. The atmosphere is mellow but sophisticated and it's a good place to relax or have fun with friends! Right by Rockville Town Center, hands down best hookah I've had! Their baklava is off the chain and their Turkish coffee is so good!! Very clean and cozy place to chill out with friends or catch up on some work. Cool vibe, nice people, and really good hookah flavors.

WHAT TO SAY? THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. From the first walk in to the atmosphere to the owner and the seating and music. It's very inviting and lively. The seats are extremely comfortable and the hookah pulls extremely well! The owner is very, very nice! A must come if you've visited all the other hookah bars around the area! I honestly just wish that it wasn't open at 5:30pm so i could come here more often. Only downside is that it doesn't have open wifi.

My girlfriend and I were in the Rockville are having brunch and she decided we should find a hookah spot nearby. This spot was literally right around the corner from where we were eating. We walked in and were greeted as soon as we came in. This bar was pretty big and they had a ton of seating available. They also had huge TVs scattered about for your entertainment. We were given menus and some time to make a decision. The didn't sell any alcohol but they did have soda/water and snacks. They also sold shisha! We ordered the strawberry and mint. Their hookah was very smooth. Unlike most places, they use disposable hoses which I do like. We arrived just shortly after they had opened and there was already a good amount of people inside. Parking was free and it seems plentiful. We walked from the brunch location so we didn't have to worry about parking. I had a really good time here and if I happen to be in the area, I'd stop by.

I came to this hookah place in February. They were taking forever with the hookah when they were.many staff available . My classmate said it was worth the wait. Unfortunately, the wait is not the only thing that was bothering me. The fact that they were turning off the heat repeatedly was annoying me. My classmate actually mentioned the cold first . He said how did it get cold all of a sudden? I felt it right away when they turned off the heat. It's not summer outside so stop turning off the heat every 10 minutes. They said they were turning it off because it start to get.smokey in here. Ok I have been to other hookahs they don't turn off the heater at all nor does it get " smokey". They have ventiliation on top of that. If you keep turning off the heat and let the cold hit our faces that's how people are going to get sick. I won't be back at all unless it gets warm. The experience wasn't cozy like other hookahs I have been to. It was uncomfortable and cold every 10 minutes .

Best Hookah lounge in the area. Usually good music and a great spot to chill, play cards, or watch the game. The service is great and the staff is friendly/attentive. Ask for Adil to mix you something, that man is a magician with sheesha blends.
