Need a name for hookah lounge.

[blackhatjamie]

are you going to have live dj night or a oud player come in and jam, have a open mic night for aspiring oud players, I have my plan all set! Just I live in palm bay and not to many oud players here lol.....but dj's are a dime a dozen....congradulations on being in the spot to open yours and I love your scheme unique and comfy.

Thanks for ideas. I plan to open up the walls and get the building next to me (place is in shopping center) and expand by 100+ capacity and add a couple pool tables.

Right now I have a area where live music can perform, I have a couple rock bands lined up to start playing some free shows for tips.

Anyways, you should take a trip from palm bay up north to Brunsiwck, which is 1 hour north of Jacksonville, will hook you up with some hookah and all other BHW members up that are helping me out with the name.

How about "Jamie's" or "Jamie's Lounge" "Jamie's Joint"? Simple

sounds nice, but want something more brandable. I want the name to give away what the place is. If adding hookah lounge in the name, people would know exactly what it is.

FLAVOR (or Flavor Lounge, something along those lines)

Guess I don't have any excuse not to visit my brother in Jacksonville now...

I dunno if you'll like it but I came up with another name
The Toke Shoppe kind of like the old play on The Malt Shoppe? Just a thought

How about:

The Hu'Ka Lounge
Hookah Bookah
Hookah Haze

So you don't want the words hookah lounge at all...

I've never smoked normal stuff from a hookah but the stuff I have smoked from one, i've also smoked in the dam, now theres a thing, they dont call them weed bars or cannabis lounges, no, they have universal names which are nondescript, have you been to the dam jamie?
One of the biggest names over there is called simply Barneys as in Jamies..
Grasshopper is another, although these are more commercialised, they are the most frequented imo,
I remember trying to think of a name for something once, I had a great big long list, guess wot,
I chose the first...

Best of luck my friend

Never been to a Hookah bar. Shit I didnt know what Hookah was until a few minutes ago.

When are you planning the grand opening ? Are we invited ?

i agree with the aforementioned purple haze...
it works, and people will talk about the controversial name..it'll go viral.

having a "hookah lounge" directly in the name kinda blows, cause everyone in town will know what your store is within a month of it opening..
no point, think of it like a long domain name

IDK, not sure if you want to push the line too much with a name. I knew a guy who owned a sex shop name G-Spot, people thought the name was to offensive, and was pretty much ran out of town.

But like I said in my above post, I would name it something that would appeal to all groups so you don't discourage people from coming in and checking your place out.

Just a small tip for marketing, prehaps offer free wifii? You could go black hat and cookie stuff the portal page, so if they buy anything, you get some extra $$, or Harro had a idea, where you charge people a small amount via Paypal/Cash to use the internet for a certain amount of time.

that's why I have you guys, help think of one killer name to use. I've got so many ideas of names going through my head from all the name suggestions that are coming in. This is going to be the hardest part is naming the lounge right.
