Shyshka
The owners of this hookah lounge have made a bet on originality. And everything here is non-standard, starting from the entrance to the establishment. The doors of "Shyshka" are always locked, and they can only be opened with a fingerprint. On Thursdays and Saturdays, there is no traditional electronic music here; on these days, you enjoy the sounds of a piano.
The only thing that "Shyshka" slightly differs from others is the interior. Stylish, restrained loft with brick walls, Edison lamps, and metal pipes on the ceiling.
And finally, the most wonderful hookah that attracts avid smokers to "Shyshka" is a hookah with Chaabacco tobacco with the flavor (!!!) of "milky oolong" tea. If you like soft aromas, be sure to try it. But remember to purge it as often as possible, otherwise, it will burn out quickly.
Prices: Check at the establishment.
