IstanBulls Hookah Lounge
29 Van Campen Blvd, Wilmington, NC
Crema's Take
“This Wilmington hookah lounge has earned serious devotion for crafting some of the smoothest hookah experiences around, paired with genuinely warm and accommodating owners who make the space feel like a gathering spot rather than just a transaction. The late-night vibe, quality atmosphere, and traditional drinks create the perfect end-of-night destination, though be prepared that hookah is the main event here and pricing reflects that premium preparation. If you're looking for a place to slow down with friends and experience hookah done really well, the consistently stellar service and welcoming energy make it worth the visit.”

The service is very nice. It's all great. I highly recommend.
Hookah was not bad, and the owner was nice. However, the hookah is WAY expensive, almost $30. Also, not allowed to bring in food of your own, which most places allow you to do. Takes away the vibe a bit, mid but most people in Wilmington don't know any better.
Me and friends were visiting the area for a trip and wanted to grab hookah at the end of the night. This place seemed nice offline, so we went, and I will have to say it is one of my favorite hookah bars I've ever been to. The hookah was clean and fresh. Reasonably priced, especially for the weekend. The woman who helped us was so kind and attentive. We got two hookahs, tea and beer. Everything was amazing. We will definitely be back soon. I also want to note it was clean and cozy, and the music and vibes were so nice.
Been to multiple hookah lounges around the country and the hookah that I had at this lounge was the most smoothest hookah I have ever had. I love the environment. The music was great. I definitely recommend. Will definitely go back if I travel that way again.
Incredible service! The owners are so kind and helpful and are very accommodating. You have to get a hookah to sit, but it's obviously a hookah lounge so that totally makes sense. This is favorite place in Wilmington. The tea and snacks are great and of course they pack awesome hookahs. The macrons are great!
