Redline Hookah

by Rachelle K.

Another great find on South First!  They definitely offer the perfectly chill environment for hookah enjoyment.  Many flavors to pick from and friendly service.  We were very well attended to for the entirety of our stay.  He (one of the owners) even sat and smoked with us for a bit answering all my "first timer" questions with out any judgment on what I am sure were a few dumb questions.The only thing that would make Redline Hookah better would be to offer alcoholic beverages, but unfortunately regulations don't allow for that.  If you buy some of their non-alcoholic beverages they will allow to bring in whatever you fancy from the convenient store next door.

Shady on the outside but lotsa hookah love on the inside.After driving past this place several times during late night breakfast taco runs to La Mexicana, my friends and I decided it wouldn't hurt to try Redline out. The interior is small and illuminated by these giant orbs scattered around the room. The couches aren't very lounge-able but better than sitting up on fold-up chairs like at Kasbah. They have a fairly good selection of quality shisha (like Romman) and you can mix flavors. Try coconut with pineapple -- mmm pina colada in your tobacco. Also, come here to avoid the college crowd. This is the only hookah lounge that isn't close to UT. They have karaoke and local DJs on select nights. Bring your green, they don't accept plastic. It's around $12/hookah and no additional fees if you share with your friends.

Do you like to "caress the mystical albatross"?  Have you ever "sucked the warlock's elbow"?  Do you often fancy a "ride on the demon chariot of Baltimore"? These phrases are meaningless gibberish; I just made them up.  But in some alternate universe, they mean "smoking a dope ass hookah whilst chilling and listening to tunes."And that's exactly what you'll get at Redline Hookah, a hidden little den of hookah happy times.  Quality hookahs, tons of flavors (all mixable), and super friendly staff.  The price is slightly above one of the more generic cafes, but the quality, ambiance, and chillage are just lovely.Recommended.  And tell them Mr Doctor sent you.  They'll think you're fucking nuts.

I do drink, I dont smoke. This proved a particularly interesting evening as they dont have drinks but do have enough tobacco to keep a camel convention happy.Why four stars? First, they hosted my friend's bada$$ band. Second, as long as i purchased something, I was able to make additional purchases of bevvies next door. Third, they have a crazy eel and fish sucker in aquarium and were showing planet earth or something educational, instead of girls gone wild. Fourth, I was wearing a shirt that said ninja please, half wet from a watergun fight, i changed in their bathroom, and no one batted an eye. Looks like they have a pretty good selection, don't be put off by the outside, and if you find a blackberry in the red leather couches, let me know. It was the unfortunate victim of an incredibly random night out.
