Skarr

I came with a group of friends on one of their free entry nights.
Needless to say, I won’t be coming back.
Let me list you reasons why…
— The venue was small.
— It was crowded.
— I was always making contact with strangers from every turn. (And no, I didn’t like it.)
— The music was blaring.
— Lights were doing all sorts of crazy things.
— I didn’t know if I should sit or dance.
(I opted to stand for 90% of the time I was there. Which wasn’t saying much, since I left after having my drink.)
— Apparently other people felt the same way and went for a lap dance.
(I guess that is a good middle.)
— Last time I checked this is suppose to be a hooka place, not a club.
— It felt like a trashy cramped club. (Sorry, but I gotta say it.)
The only redeeming thing that they had going was that their watermelon mint hooka was pretty good and that they made a pretty mean expresso martini.
So, kudos to the bartender! But, that’s about all I’ll praise about over here.

I got pulled into a group of people at Tammany Hall that wanted to go here. When I saw the front of the place I started laughing. There was no way I would have ever gone there of my own accord. Flashing strobe lights, in-​house «DJ», not for me.
When I tried to order a whiskey they informed me they didn’t have any. I then looked at the sparse liquor shelf and realized that everything was flavored vodka and liquors. Very limited beer selection. When I asked the bartender whats she could make that wasn’t sweet, she blankly stared at me. I got a lemon drop.
It would be one star, but I didn’t have to pay for the experience.

One of the wait staff suggested we add a pineapple top to our coconut hookah which sounded good to us newbies. A particular young male on staff was very attentive and made sure our hookah kept going. When the check was brought over we were stunned by the large tab so we asked for a breakdown of our bill. Two reasons why the tab was so high. (1) We were not told that the pineapple top (and I mean just the top) was $ 35.00. (2) The tip was included and we were not told that therefore they «almost» got tipped twice. We think it’s sneaky & we won’t go back.

Nice place, Awesome Music, Cheap Price

Attempted to use a Groupon that was soon to expire here on a Sunday night. I checked the website to make sure they would be open, it clearly stated open on Sunday nights and when we got there there it was closed. The dress code taped to the door was also pretty off putting — no white sneakers, Timberlands… etc. I e-​mailed the owner of the restaurant and never got a response. Horrible customer service if you ask me! I won’t be back.

The hookah itself was nice, however the atmosphere was less than ideal. I was out with a couple of friends, and we were hesitant to come here to begin with because of the oddly specific dress code taped to the door. (No white shoes, timberlands, baggy jeans, etc.) Our waitress was friendly, but seemed a little high strung. When we asked for water we were given water bottles of varying brands and charged $ 4 for each without our prior knowledge of the price, or there being one at all.
There was house music playing at high volume 90 percent of the time making it difficult to converse, the men’s bathroom toilet was missing it’s handle, and apparently the women’s bathroom didn’t have soap.
The hookah was enjoyable, and the combinations at Skarr are creative, but that’s about all it has going for it in my opinion.

Stopped here for drinks one night and it was a pretty nice place.
It’s a trendy little hookah lounge, bar, and grille on the hill. Didn’t get to try the food but it looked like a nice menu. The specialty drinks were great though, I love the Godiva Martini!
I’d consider this place, a stop before a night out, I’m not sure its a night out place, but its something worth checking out.
