Up in smoke: Explore Post Falls’ hookah bar/club hybrid

Only two months old, iHookah located at 2600 E. Seltice Way in Post Falls can boast of its bustling service and rapidly growing business. Modeled after night clubs, iHookah blends the traditional flavor of a smoke session with hip hop music and blacklights. Currently allowing 18+, the lounge will soon expand with a 21 and up section with patrons able to purchase beer and wine. Hookahs are thoroughly cleaned by staff after each use.

 

Price: Three people can smoke for $10, or take advantage of weekly “all you can smoke” cover charged sessions.

 Shisha brands: Al Faukur, Social Smoke and Starbuzz are the most commonly used brands.

Perks: Free water and free ice hoses upon request.

 

 Impressions from Sentinel staff:

Melaina Bell: It’s loud and “trendy.” I like the blacklights, but the flavors weren’t as strong as I like. I liked it better when I went the first time because there were less people, but even the music choice was the same. I do think the furniture is really nice.

 Christina Villagomez: “I didn’t really like the first time I visited iHookah very much. The shisha tasted soapy, I hated the music and the younger crowd irked me. However, although the music was equally annoying upon my second visit, the shisha tasted a lot better and the service was great both times. iHookah is an option for someone looking for a club atmosphere, but for those looking to sit and talk, another lounge might be the better option.”

 

 Final conclusion:iHookah is a unique idea, with comfy furniture, great customer service and awesome low prices. Best suited for those that are looking for somewhere they can smoke and dance at the same time, the lounge isn’t recommended for those looking to sit and relax.  Four out of Five Hookahs
