My friend opened one a few years ago, it's went down after one year. I recommend you find a good location, and serve variety of food.

Plan it differently.
Probably some theme based! Some one sitting in sand and enjoying hookah - Arabic style?

Or an Indian village type under trees?

Create enough class and hype!

And dont forget to study the existing ones - Hookah-Bars.com - Hookah Bar Directory and Reviews

Even I am tempted to start one---if some one funds ! LOL

i am actually looking to start one up in new york city.. i have about $100k to invest in it but I believe I need more. anyone in NYC wanna partner up or atleast if you dont have money help with starting it up by other means?

I am extremely interested in opening a hookah bar among other ammenities to keep the place filled to the brim at all times. I have amazing ideas to keep everything fresh and keep the profits rolling in. I'm not messing around when I say I really want this to happen, I just need someone to back me up to make this happen. I will work very hard to make this work.

I live in San Fernando Valley and if you already know, we have hookah bars here, but they all lack some of the most important details to being successful and yet, they ARE successful because no one really has a choice.

Not comfortable, bad service, bad product, no variety, boring to look at, horrible music/too random playlists, the list goes on and on.

I can't stress enough that I have the capacity and drive to make this happen and have a business explode within a month, but like most others, I am short on funds to do so.

If anyone is -SERIOUSLY- interested in opening a successful hookah bar in a good location and getting exactly what you wanted, then let me know and we should talk.

Even if you want to set up in your area and you're curious to pick my brain and see what we can pull off, I'm all ears to anything. If we could start something even in YOUR area, then I would be willing to relocate for the cause.

I won't just share my ideas with you just because you ask, only with people who are interested in a successful and serious partnership.

My email is: snfitzgerald @ hotmail .com and I have instant messengers.

I hope to hear from someone who wants to make something great.

I was also going to start one with a friend of mine...but I think it's more complicated that we think? Not sure. At first it sounded like a great idea, and then we figured out that we needed some sort of license from the environmental sector or something.

It shouldnt need any licence different from that of a cigar club.
