"Okay so this place is RAD. I don't go out much, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time here! Bethany killed it! Lovely human, as is Shay. Don't even get me started on Dylan and how rad he is. He does such a great job running this place. Chill vibe even on a Saturday. 10 out of 10 for the whole shebang."

"We came to Reno from Austin TX and my wife loves hookah, so we found Hookava and were blown away how great this place was for service and product. Shout out to Dylan, Lala and Shay! They treated us like family and everyone here is super friendly! Dylan is just simply amazing and we have been here 6 nights."

"I have been coming to Hookava for 4–5 years, and it has always been amazing! Over the years, they have continued to improve in every way — drinks, hookah, customer service, the ambiance. They always have something going on such as DJs, trivia, holiday themed drinks for local crawls. I truly couldn't recommend this place more."

"Staff is very friendly and very caring. They are very diligent about changing coals and very focused on making it a very pleasant experience. Service was very fast. Hookah flavors variety was very good. Pool is $1 so you can keep playing. Atmosphere is very chill. 10/10 recommend to hookah lovers in Reno and travelers passing by."

"Went here with a friend to have a few drinks and smoke. They had a cool vibe and good music playing. People and staff seemed genuinely laid back and friendly. Service was great — timely and polite. If we needed refills, staff would offer before we had to even ask. Will be returning."
