Great place and service was excellent. Thank you Christine for taking care of us as our server. The hookah by the way was very smooth and not harsh and worth the price.

Came here during the week. The atmosphere was great. By far the best hookah I’ve had in nyc. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Tell me another lounge with great food and music that has that happy hour till 8pm?? I’ll wait. Will definitely be back.

Every time I come here I always have the best time. The service from everyone is always great. Starting with the hookah, it’s smooth ( I recommend getting the ice hose with it ) The food is finger food, tastes great and portions are pretty much good if your not trying to eat too much. The drinks are such a vibe and I can’t forget about the music ! Music is always amazing !!! Thanks for always a great experience !

Beautiful lounge, great service, great food, atmosphere was definitely what we needed for a girls night out. I will return. My only con: they don’t make margaritas or sangria. Overall worth the 5 stars

Me & My Husband Came Here On Our Anniversary Sept 4 Just For Hookah. We Used To Come To The Previous Hookah Lounge That Was At This Location Before They Shut Down. We Found Out They Had Closed Down & This Spot Opened Up. We Decided To Try It Out Anyway Because The Ambiance And Interior Design Looked Really Nice. The Dj Played Good Music. The Drinks Were Good, As Well As The Hookah. I Had The Blue Mist Hookah I Believe It Was Called. The Guy Came About Every 30Minutes To Change The Coal Which I Highly Appreciated Cause We Didnt Have To Flag Nobody Down.However, My Only Complaints Really Was Just The Price Of The Hoookah And The Fact That When We Arrived, The Bathroom Wasnt Clean. They Had Kinda Just Opened, We Arrived Like 7:40p-8p. We Were the First Ones There And The Sink Had Stuff In It Like A Used Hookah Tip n Stuff. Toilet Seat Was Up. No Tissue On The Roll, You Have To Grab The Whole Roll Of Tissue, Very Unsanitary. As Far As Hookah Is Concerned, I Used To Pay $20 + Free Refills At The Previous Business, So We Would Give Them Great Big Tips. I Understand Though, New Business, So No Problem. But The Hookah Here Was Like $54 !!!! And Then For Refills Its Like $30 !!!! Thats So Expensive For Hookah. SMH Ive NEVER Paid That Much For Hookah & Then On Top Of That It Was CASH Only For The Hookah Which Is A Huge Inconvenience😒😒 Their ATM Fee Was Too Much So My Husband Had To Leave & Go Find Another Atm. At That Point, I Was Over Even Trying This Spot Out & Wanted To Leave. We Came JUST For Hookah & I Got Turned Off By This Bad But My Husband Said It Was Fine So We Stay. We Sat Down, Ordered Drinks & Just Continued Enjoying Our Anniversary. The Hookah, Is The Reason For The 4 Star Rating But That Aside I Enjoyed Everything About This Place. Very Cool, Cheel Spot.

Cool hangout spot for groups. Clean seating and clean bathroom. Order by scanning code but cash only for hookah. Food was delicious and the drink didnt need the flowers, maybe just one draping the side of my glass, not petals in my drinks. Music choice was good too with video attached was bomb too it took us down memory lane for sure. Friendly staff. Nice spot overall.

Review 11 (2023-06-24 - Rating: 5)
Bartender Alexandra was unattentive, waited 20 mins before she even looked our way to order a drink. Not friendly at all. Atmosphere was very nice, music was great

Good food, drinks and great hookah! One of my favorite spots for date night or just a girls night. Music with live Dj is also on point!

Review 15 (2023-01-15 - Rating: 4)
All I have to say is EXCELLENT MUSIC AND HOOKAH. The DJ plays a great mixture of reggaeton and hip hop. Great play to bring a small group to chill. This place is LIT on Friday and Saturdays.

Review 16 (2024-01-01 - Rating: 5)
Staffs was amazing best appetizer the chicken and tacos delicious . Love how the set up is. This place is a 10

Review 17 (2021-11-30 - Rating: 5)
Smoke and mirrors is such a vibe. Lets start with the decor, from the moment you walk in it feels grown and sexy! From the bar all the way to the back hooka lounge. The music is amazing, a little of everything and it will make you want to dance!! Last, but definitely not least, the cocktails are absolutely delicious, the gin cocktail is my personal fav! Great place for drinks, hooka and a vibe. Perfect for girls night or a cute date.

Review 18 (2022-04-08 - Rating: 5)
Wana go have a great time with the fellas or just going on a date night this is the place with the sickest vibes, food is super delicious and the music makes you wana jump up out your seat and dance all night.

Review 19 (2021-11-30 - Rating: 5)
Astoria’s newest lounge/bar. Smoke and Mirrors is beautiful inside with some of the most interesting cocktails on the menu. You need to go check this exciting lounge out for yourself. There is no other place like it!

Nice hookah lounge the hookah was better than I thought it was and the service was good. This is a nice place if you need a quick place to hangout

Review 27 (2021-11-30 - Rating: 5)
If you ever get sick of going to the same place in Astoria trust me this place will have you wanting to keep coming back. Perfect for a date night or to hang out with a group of friends. Excellent and accommodating staff!

Review 28 (2024-07-28 - Rating: 5)
Me and my friend walked in just wanting a cocktail and an app. Ambiance is very NYC lounge —- we got there around 9/930 maybe— before the party started I’m sure (which is just fine for my aunty behind 😂) but I’m sure the spot is a GREAT vibe once the party kicks in. Ally was our server and she, along with the other young ladies that came to our table, were kind and superb.We ordered a mezcal watermelon cocktail and started with fries and then had the beef sliders. The drink was refreshing and yummy and came with a wedge of watermelon and the fries was a healthy portion but for me and my homegirl the star was the sliders. Shoutouts to the kitchen who made sure they were seasoned. Great size too. Flavorful and yum.Would definitely come back to this spot!

Good vibes, an amazing waitress named Wanda took excellent care of us. Will be back soon.

Review 31 (2023-06-30 - Rating: 4)
The service was good but the place was almost empty and the atmosphere was a little boring.We expected to get so much fun there.By other hand if you want to get a chill time with your friends, you can visit it.

Review 32 (2021-11-28 - Rating: 5)
You know you’re about to have an amazing time after stepping into this place, I kid you not!The vibe, atmosphere, interior design, music, and the staff simply won’t fail to make you keep coming back to this place. 😁😁😁

Review 36 (2024-01-15 - Rating: 4)
Had outing for my son’s birthday on Saturday night! Overall it was a great evening. Our hostess was super sweet and attentive. The manager also very nice. Will be back again.

Review 37 (2024-01-16 - Rating: 4)
Celebrated two birthdays here. It’s a lot of fun when there’s a DJ. Sometimes it feels a bit too crowded so I wouldn’t go at peak hours if you want room to dance or spread out. The hookah is good. The bottles are pricey but it’s NYC so it’s to be expected.

Review 38 (2023-11-02 - Rating: 5)
If you want a litty spot like a hide out to attend in Astoria this is the place…Good music that played throwbacks to currents. Bottle services was on point. I rsvp with the manager Eli who displayed attentive customer service and was very genuine in answering all my questions. The lights..the design, just the entire atmosphere was just a vibe. I would highly recommend this place.

Review 39 (2022-12-23 - Rating: 5)
Love this spot. A different vibe from the other hookah spots around, more chill with a upscale vibes. The staff is super nice. The food is pretty good too. The hookah is great as well. I’ll be back definitely 😉

Review 40 (2023-11-25 - Rating: 5)
I had a wonderful time celebrating my daughters birthday 🎂

Review 41 (2023-04-09 - Rating: 5)
They charge an automatic 20% gratuity to all bills no matter the party size! Keep in mind, they need a card and ID to hold on to while you dine.... the drink menu is not that amazing but I would recommend a passionfruit margarita.The soft pretzel is not that great and they serve it with a terrible tasting cheese sauce (which i dont recommend) & with a mustard that doesnt pair well with it either...the mac and cheese would use some seasoning. The sweet chili shrimp was good! Parking is on the street so good luck finding a spot...I visited this spot on a Monday and they were open really late. They also serve hookah of youre into that. They also had a DJ which was dope and he played good r&b music.

Review 43 (2023-07-02 - Rating: 5)
I was there tonight the atmosphere was amazing the vibe was great ..The service was great ,very clean the food was good ..this place is a 10/10 can wait to come back in a couple of weeks I’m bringing more people this time

Review 44 (2022-04-26 - Rating: 5)
I did not know what to expect but I must say it was an Amazing Place!! From the moment I walked to the door I felt welcomed, the bartender (Daniel) was very on point, I did not feel rushed. The How Hot Are You Spicy Margarita was one of the best Margaritas I’ve had. The Mirror Mule was so delicious as well. Coconut Shrimp and was so good and cooked just right. To top it off there’s the lady in red!!! The Hookah girl was so friendly and energetic!!! Her vibes were amazing!! There are a lot of places in this area of Steinway, and I’ve been to most, but Smoking Mirrors was a 5 Star Experience. Strongly Recommend

Great experience. Exceptional customer service. Will definitely come back.

Review 46 (2021-11-30 - Rating: 5)
Great vibes, good music, amazing cocktails and fantastic venue! Had an absolutely brilliant night on Saturday and can’t wait to go back. Staff were excellent too. 10/10 will definitely be recommending. Well done!

Review 47 (2022-11-26 - Rating: 5)
First time in smoke and mirrors and was instantly wowed! The decor is fun from the minute you walk in until you reach the lounge in the back with the big neon lights. The cocktails are all so fun, tasty and really bring the theme of the place with lots of fun smoke and fire tricks. Astoria needed a new bar like this! If you’re looking for great drinks, atmosphere, hookah and a place to dance this IS IT!

Review 48 (2023-01-21 - Rating: 5)
Went on a Friday night, everyone was friendly. Drinks n food was amazing. Hookah service was great. We didnt have to keep looking for them they always checked if it was ok. Deff recommend.

Review 49 (2021-11-28 - Rating: 5)
This place seriously stands apart from all of the other hookah establishments in Astoria with regards to quality. Aside from the excellent selection of hookah and drinks, the posh vibe makes for a feel-good environment. I hung out with friends here till 2 am on Sat night and the music kept getting better and better. The staff was attentive and very kind too so Ill definitely be back.

Review 50 (2022-04-03 - Rating: 5)
Ambience us awesome. Hookah is cash only

Review 51 (2021-11-30 - Rating: 5)
For sure the BEST bar in the area. So beautifully designed, great music, and cool/chill vibe all around. Nothing else in Astoria compares; not even close! This is the perfect place to meet up with friends for a fun night out to celebrate a birthday, date night, etc. I would highly recommend !

Review 52 (2023-06-24 - Rating: 5)
The bartender Alexandra R. was rude and did not acknowledge the left side of the bar. We sat down and waited for over 20 mins and we had to flagged her to get her attention and we told her we were waiting to get her attention and she said ‘Oh’. All that work she did on her body she couldn’t fix her manners with it. It was a bad experience for the first time going there.

Review 53 (2022-03-06 - Rating: 5)
Have been to this spot a few times and I usually wait to make a review and have not been disappointed! Very friendly staff and the hookah tasted delicious. My coals were changed almost every 30 min which is something you rarely see nowadays. The place can get packed and pumpin. All in all, excellent vibes!

Review 54 (2022-12-24 - Rating: 5)

I went here on a Saturday night for a date and had an Amazinggggg time! Our waitress was attentive, the hookah was smooth and the DJ was great. There was a mix up with my bill and I e-mailed the manager Elias and he responded right away and took care of the mix up. I highly recommend from the waitress to the drinks to the management.

Review 60 (2021-11-28 - Rating: 5)
Amazing atmosphere. I had one of the best nights of my life. The music, the drinks, the hookah absolutely everything is on point and the theme and design of the place is modern and luxurious. This is a great lounge to meet up with friends for a birthday party or for a more casual night out. The other lounges on Steinway don’t don’t even compare, this place is LIIIIIIIT!!!

Review 61 (2021-11-30 - Rating: 5)
Absolutely loved the ambiance of this place! Great drinks, high energy atmosphere, and a young/stylish crowd. Also, plenty of big televisions to sit back and chill on a Sunday with some hookah and nfl action. Highly recommend this new spot in Astoria to anyone looking for a night out on the town.

Review 62 (2022-07-24 - Rating: 5)
Customer service and vibe here is amazing, hands down!! That is a lot especially when you are located in a hotspot on Steinway with other establishments. Front door security were hilarious! Amazing amazing cannot say enough! I will be back!

Their wings and empanadas are good!Nachos were a bit too salty for my liking. On the other hand, they have great hookah and plenty of flavors to choose from. Cocktails are $8 during Happy hour.

I smoke hookah everyday. The hookah here, coupled with the drink options and more importantly the atmosphere and service I got here was second to none. I would definitely bring anyone I would want to impress (great date spot as well).

Review 78 (2022-03-23 - Rating: 4)
They werent bad, hookah tastes a little strange and the drinks were good they ran out of Malibu at 12pm seems kinda strange for a weekend and for a popular drink ingredient to be out so quickly. I also had 1 drink and they were already out.
