Arab Cowboy Cafe Hookah Lounge

by Emily M.

The owner and his wife are a constant presence in the FOH - both are so so kind. And I recently discovered that can you can ask for natural coals ... fo' free. Booyah! Parking is still a biyatch, but the addition of natural coals bumps Arab Cowboy up a star. Mmmmm, tobacco. Loved to find that a new hookah place opened up in the West Campus area. The owner…

I went to this place since it was the only place open early for hookah. The 3-7 happy hour deal is awesome. I dunno about Aly's experience, but most of the hookah places I've been have been more than or equal to the 16.99 price that they charge normally. Not to mention, most places use foil too... although I'm sad that Aly's service sucked, but my service was awesome!There was a girl who resembled a blond Emma Stone. Totally cute. The staff were very nice to us and came by to give us another coal as we were dimming down. The hookahs themselves, I thought, were really good. They put ice under the tobacco, not in the water, which gave the smoke a nice cool feel. The decor was actually pretty chill. In fact, most of the furniture was chill and relaxing. I am sure that once it gets busy, it can be kinda annoying trying to find a good spot because most of the seating areas are spaced out for comfort. That is a nice thing, but I feel like the amount of seating is low. But that is not a bad thing... just if it's crowded.They also have their own parking! so that's very awesome. You don't have to try to snag west campus parking. That shit sucks yo.Oh btw, 4 people = 1 hookah. So you may wanna remember that. Kinda reminds me of the old Kasbah...without assholes.

Living in West Campus, I was excited to see that a new Hookah place was opening up. "Finally", I thought, "this could be a chance to redeem the hookah seen in Austin." Well, I was wrong. The inside is cool, even though seating is kind of slim, but that's about it. The Hookah was over priced (it's a bad sign when Starbuzz is the "premium" shisha. I mean really? How American can we get), and I was completely let down when the coal was sitting on foil. (I could have just done to my neighbor's place to smoke hookah like that) I got the Jasmine and Rose mixed, which is  a favorite of mine, and it tasted like liquorish. I asked the kid helping us if we could have gotten the wrong one on mistake, and he looked at me and said "Um, no, I mixed it myself" in a rude way. After that it went even further down hill, fast. We then got Strawberry and it was worse than the first, the completely ignored us, never moved the coals, and at one time we had to get up and ask for a new coal. Maybe if the people who were "working" there would actually work and not just sit behind the counter and smoke hookah themselves, then they would have gotten three stars. However, they bombed, and I'm still left searching for a hookah place.

Arab Cowboy is a great place for hanging out, Smoking Hookah, or doing homework and smoking Hookah; its fun and I love going there. Their service is great; I give them 5 stars for that. Their Hookah is yummy, and their smoothies are delicious.  Thanks,
