Hookah Palace

I used to go to House of Kabab when I was a teen and in my early twenties. I went back the other day during my visit back home and discovered that it is now divided between a restaurant *and* a hookah bar! Sat in the hookah area and purchased food next door and brought it over to eat at the same time.
Decent service, though a little slow. All the staff, including the owner, were super friendly to my friend and I, which was a nice change of pace from some shisha places, which can be a bit standoffish at times. I had a watermelon tobacco in my hookah, which I can’t always find every place I go. The food is also just as delicious as it was 20 years ago, and it was delightful having an authentic Persian Soltani for once! Seating was good and comfortable and not hardbacked chairs, which is always a nice touch in any hookah establishment.
The music was on, but it wasn’t so loud that it drowned out conversation. That was a huge selling point to me, as I came to relax in a more café-​like environment rather than a club style one.

Previously, Hookah Palace was my favorite hookah bar in the Denver Metro area, but unfortunately I haven’t been back in two years.
The clientele completely changed when the management did and the vibe hasn’t been the same ever since. Hookah is good, but lacks in service and authenticity. It isn’t what it used to be.

I’m a regular here and the palace is a wonderful place for hookah. It just started under new management and the place is clean, well run, and friendly. It opens at 11 (much earlier than most hookah bars), and is attached to a very good middle eastern restaurant that serves a great shawarma. This place is one of the 2 best hookah bars in Denver (right up there with red poppy) and has a wonderful community feel during the day. I couldn’t recommend Hookah Palace more highly.

The best tasting hookah I have ever had! I have tried other hookah places but nothing has as high of a quality of shish and flavors. It is a relaxing environment with good music and good people! Anyone who says otherwise is probably bitter or dick riding another hookah place.

I’m a regular here for almost a year now and the service and hookahs have been getting increasingly better as time has passed. The workers are fun, funny, and very chill. They are usually on top of everything, and always try their hardest to exceed the expectations of their customers. They are so friendly, its hard not to get along with the workers here, and even some of the other customers as well.
There’s always a calm and relaxing atmosphere during the weekdays, and a fun and vibrant atmosphere by the time the weekend hits.
Hookah palace carries my favorites brands, and they are always willing to try new brands out. They always have different types of hookah, which makes smoking there a lot more fun and enjoyable at times.
Overall, this is one of the only hookah bars i will go to in Denver, and even some of my friends have started to become regulars here because of how much they enjoy it at palace :)

Waited over 30 mins to get our hookah, while waiting we spotted a mouse. It ran from one couch to the next, we told the staff member that brought us the hookah, who didn’t seem to be fazed about it at all … All in turn, it wasn’t that pleasant of an experience.

I have to say in my personal opinion I am greatly disappointed in this business .I have known the owner for many many years and greatly respect him. I am not going to be able to pay the amount of money that is expected for the hookah and the environment. It hurts deeply in my heart to leave this establishment on those terms. Such as life and maybe in the future it will return to what it was before the new management. God willing.

I was a regular there for a while, and it wasn’t too bad at first. Then all the good employees left, they got new management, and everything went to crap! The service is terrible! The hookahs are way over priced, the flavor only last about 30 minutes. The upside is that the seats there are so uncomfortable that you won’t want to sit there for more than 30 minutes. There’s a giant hole in the ceiling, they have 2 useless speakers to play music on that have no treble. The owner gets hammered and hangs out there all the time, and then yells at his employees in front of the customers. So over all I would say you should avoid that place like the plague!

The only reason this place gets one star is because I have to put something in there. They used to be ok and I became a regular there. I got discounts on hookah because I spent so much money there. However, this place has become an appalling refuse pile that I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemies. The hookah is overpriced for what tastes like you’re smoking out of a garbage can. I would recommend this place to those of us who love the taste of formaldehyde. Or fecal matter.

I came here with high hopes since this place has a pretty good reputation on Unilocal.Sadly, I was disappointed.
While they had a good selection of hookah flavors to smoke, the service was terrible.
We waited at least 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged we were there. The guy asked what we wanted to drink and we were again waiting for another 5 minutes at least until another guy asked if we have been helped.
Finally got our order in and the hookah came out to us pretty fast actually. Was surprised about that based on the level of service thus far.
We enjoyed our hookah for a while but coals needed to be changed out and I was almost to the point of getting up to ask for new coals when I saw an employee coming around to change coals for people. This isn’t exactly a bad thing but not a good thing either. On one hand, they aren’t mind readers but on the other, you should be surveying your bar to see when coals are almost burned out.
Overall, the hookah was good but the service leaves much to be desired.

One of the best hookah bars you will go too! You will be satisfied to the max! Good customer service and good vibe to be around! Hookahs are unbelievable and they also have fruit bowls!

Good hookah spot, great atmosphere. They have a good selection of shisha and tend to the coals well. Only complaint would be they need a curtain or something in front of the door as people tend to leave it open and let the cold in.

This place was a relative mistake.
After having to practically convince them to allow us into the smoking-​friendly space of the restaurant, we were seated. We were among two other people there.
Although the hookah was packed well, and it was maintained pretty frequently, our food arrived to us, well, half of our food order did, in styrofoam boxes. (it kind of screamed «we’re ready for you to go already») the pita was nearly forgotten, and was served to us IN the plastic bag, quasi-​warm. the hummus was forgotten about altogether. we were asked about our mid-​grade meal once, and the «servers» didn’t pay us any mind other than that visit and when we left. The space itself was decorated okay, it was a little bit chilly, and the staff was pretty inattentive.
Wouldn’t recommend this place. With so so so so so so so much competition in SUCH a near vicinity to this place, you would think they’d put in more effort.

Terrible service & hookah. Dirty restroom, dark & stinky lobby.

I came here from Austin, TX for a vacation trip, I smoke hookah daily, it’s great for you vitamins on the fruity flavors and If you have a cold smoke the mint ;).
This place has it down, the hookah is great, THE SERVICE is kick ass no joke, the staff are super friendly and the price is cheap $ 12.00 for a hookah?! Get outta here we pay $ 20 in Austin and it taste like coals.
I came here 5 – 6 times and I will miss the people and hookah here!
A+ for these guys

I have tried this place many times this past month, along with trying other Hookah places within the same strip mall. I enjoy this place the most because of its fast and friendly customer service, and the cozy ambiance in it. The customers in Hookah palace are much more respectful than the gangsters-​childish-​like customers I’ve seen in the other Hookah places. Overall, I enjoy this place the most.

Hookah Palace: My favorite Denver Hookah bar hangout /​lounge
Right next door the House of Kabob, is a great place to enjoy a variety of Lebanese & Persian Cuisine. House of Kabob has been in business for 22 years, did the Rocky Mountain News and the Westword sponsor the winner of the Best of Citysearch, «Best of Denver Dining Guide.»
My personal favorites are to partake of the warmed pita bread with their signature hummus dip. What better way to enjoy authentic Persian food and perhaps smoke hookah tobacco through one of their imported full-​size hookahs. It’s a memorable experience! There is an assortment of hookah tobacco flavors to choose from. I stick with a few select choices of tobacco. I recommend the ‘Passion Mojito’ or ‘Tangerine Dream.‘
Servers provide excellent, satisfactory service to prepare the hookahs with water filled, ready-​assembled vial and keep refilling the charcoals on a as needed basis.
Last visit here, I especially appreciated the prompt attentiveness of the server and free Wi-​Fi access upon password request. The atmosphere in general is pleasantly draped with satiny, burgundy ceiling veils and ambient, mood lighting. Big screen TV is available and adequate seating /​tables are provided.
I honestly haven’t had a single complaint when stopping by this hookah lounge and enjoy the mellow, relaxing time spent.
There are even live belly dancers every Friday and Saturday from 7:30PM and 9:00PM.
