Elixir Hookah Lounge Methuen

It's a $20 cover charge to get in, which for the area is high, but it is one of the only surviving hookah lounge's around. As soon as you walk in, you'll notice that, just like other's have mentioned, it's a smoke whatever you want lounge. There was cigarettes', cigars, weed, vapes...you name it. (This will be relevant later on.)nOur table, which for what it is, was in no shape or form VIP or private as we were crammed in with the rest of the crowd all night. We had ordered hookah service and bottle service which did take a considerable amount of time to get to the table. We had no issues about that, as we were enjoying the music.nShortly after receiving the bottle and hookah service, the fire alarm goes off.nThis is probably due to the poor ventilation and the numerous amounts of other unmonitored vapors in the air. We decided that it only made sense to wait it out, as our table still hadn't finished the now missing bottles that were ordered for the table (the service takes the bottles with them and periodically return for refills). After half an hour of no music, no drinks and a blaring alarm, the service goes around issuing everyone their bills IN FULL. They stated the issue would be fixed in a few moments and they were just being preemptive about payouts as the lounge would be closing in two hours. We decided to wait.n45 minutes went by and the alarm was still blaring, the service came back around urging people to pay as they were now closing! This is when issues started. They were forcing people to pay full prices for what was now a portion of the services rendered.nI get it. Bad nights happen in any establishment, but to demand your patrons pay full price after having delivered a third of the services was at best mediocre and sketchy.nNever returning.

It’s all politics here. If you don’t know someone good luck getting in. Also if you have a reservation be aware that they might not put you on the list. Will tell you oh well there’s nothing they can do and won’t even try to accommodate you. If I could give it zero stars I would

Figured I’d go and smoke, get drinks. Was made to wait til 11 because it’s full. Walked in at 11. Paid $20 for admission. Ordered right after. Waited to 11:28 until i got the bottle and hookah. Told the owner who told me to figure out who the waitress is cause he doesn’t. She cane back w the bottle. I asked about the hookah and was told they don’t have the head. I ordered a regular hookah and 7 min later watched a table that was there maybe 3 min get there’s. 5 min later mine came. They take the bottles and you have to trust they bring you the right one back. Music was good but i don’t think I’ll come back.

Great expierence , great service . Despite Covid . Good attitudes . Great music

You come here with a reservation confirmed TWICE and when you get to the door they tell you they don't have you down on the list. Then you see a lot of weird people coming in and out without reservations. This place is corrupt, dysfunctional, nothing works, ghetto and it all comes down to who you know not to satisfy it’s customers.
