I've been there a few times now, and every single time the people working there have been very nice.

Hell, I even asked them to make me an Orange Crush (redbull + grenadine. drop in a shot of vodka and chug) and they did it and said they'd put it on the menu permanently.

Even when I ask for small things like extra mouth pieces for the hookah or straws, they get it very quickly and are nice about it. Sure, the place has a few shortcomings. However, its one of those places where the people and the service definately makes up for those.

I recommend you check it out. And order some Orange Crushes.

Wouldn't mind trying one of those actually. Where's this place located in Hongdae?

Nice place to unwind, for sure. But when they get busy the service goes out the window. 15 minutes for a J&C/Budweiser order is a bit ridiculous. Weekdays are mint, though.

I've said for years that Gr8 is the best hookah bar in Korea. The owner, Ryan, is great and speaks perfect English. His original one is right before Jane's Groove on the 4th floor above Ska. His newer 2nd one is down an alley off club row.
