Nassau's premium hookah lounge experience
Hookah at Rootz isn't an afterthought — it's part of the lounge. We use the Smokezilla Minya, a sleek modern hookah built for smooth, consistent draws, packed with premium Adalya Turkish shisha — paired with the warm, dimly-lit, music-curated setting that makes our kava bar one of Downtown Nassau's most loved nights out.
Pricing is simple and group-friendly: $45 for the first head, $28 per refill. A single setup easily carries a table of three to five guests through 60 to 90 minutes of conversation. Pair it with a Traditional Kava in a clay cup, a Green Vein K-Tea, or an iced matcha — our staff will help you build a session.
No reservations, no cover. Walk in, grab a seat in the lounge, and tell our team what you're in the mood for. Hookah service is 18+ with valid ID.

What's the best hookah lounge in Nassau?+
That depends on what you value, so here's an honest checklist: is it a dedicated evening venue with seating and atmosphere, or a side offering at a daytime shop? Does it name the hookah and shisha brands it uses? Are the flavours listed up front? Are there real, recent Google reviews from guests? Rootz is built to answer yes to all four — a lounge open Monday–Thursday: 10:00 AM–9:30 PM; Friday–Saturday: 10:00 AM–11:00 PM; Sunday: 12:00 PM–9:00 PM, Smokezilla Minya hookahs, Adalya Turkish shisha, published flavours and pricing.
