The Downtown Hookah Lounge in Middletown, NY is taking the hookah smoking tradition even further by indulging all the senses hosting; black light parties, ladies nights, live shows, and an assortment of local DJ’s and MCEE’s. A little over a year old The Downtown Hookah Lounge has exploded into one of thee places to be on the weekend (or even weekday!) in Middletown. Owner Tyler Durland, pictured below, is the brains behind the whole operation and a young start up, opening the lounge at age 21.
The tradition of smoking the hookah is one that dates back to over 500 years and is a tradition in which men and women could both partake in often gender separated areas of the Middle East. The tobacco used in the hookah is called Shisha, and it’s not like the tobacco you may be familiar with. For one Shisha is a moist tobacco usually mixed with a combination of honey and sugar. Shisha comes in a myriad of different flavors and is smoked for it’s aroma and taste. The tobacco is smoked through an ornate water pipe with hoses attached so multiple people can smoke at once. It’s rumored that smoking the hookah is the safest way to enjoy tobacco because the water acts as a filtration system. There is no physical effect to smoking the hookah yet there is an undeniable relaxing feeling involved with a hookah session!
A stage has just been added to the lounge and they’ve already got the Heat Generator lined up for tonight, Sunday 1/29/12. So, if you’re in The Downtown Middletown area, and are looking for something to do, go get down with the get down. Chill out with the flavor of your choice and just mellow on the music, lighting, atmosphere, and aroma that is the hookah bar! Stay glued to the Facebook page too; this place has something going on almost every night of the week!
