Le Caire Lounge

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GO HERE! WORST LOUNGE EVER. I went for my birthday celebration, booked online through google. There were 7+ people within my reservation. When I first arrived, I noticed the place and seating looked very run down. The ambiance was slightly there but thrown off by literally everything else after we started being serviced. The drinks were expensive in cost cheap in quality (watered down very ineffective), poor hookah and hookah service (we had to keep calling someone over to fix it fit it ourselves), as well as tiny portioned food. The food looked like they just remade freezable snacks you buy from the freezer aisle at Walmart or Bj?s and up-charged us $5+ for it; mind you the portions are extra small? 5? pizza for $5.50 5 mini ?tacos? that weren?t even two inches big for $5+. The DJ was very bad. He came around 10pm and had a terrible time trying to read the crowd; barely played half of any song (I swear it was like 30 seconds of each song). The first thing our waitress mentioned to us was to write a POSITIVE review on yelp?. Which I have no problem doing if I had a great experience, however, I did not. My waitress constantly asked us if we wanted more drinks or food? only to take 20+ minutes to return with our order of drinks and 30+ minutes to return with the literal FREEZER SNACKS they bought at Walmart or Bj?s. When my friends and I were over the wack DJ, poor hookah, and weak drinks, we decided to leave. I was given the check, and I gave them my card. They took my card then came back to say they do not take cards. Nowhere on their website, yelp, or google page states that they are a CASH ONLY establishment. Neither me or my guests were aware of this policy. Our waitress did not make us aware of this policy gladly kept on running up our bill. When the waitress gave me back my card, she just walked away and did not help at all, very rude. I got up and asked her where am I supposed to get cash? She directed me to an ATM in the front of the lounge. I do not use unknown ATM?s. So I had to leave my guests there, to go to the bank, and then to come back and pay them. Overall, my experience here was trash and I feel like they took advantage of the large group and cash only policy. I feel like they should verbally let every customer know about the policy before they even take the first order. I strongly suggest NOT going there. Worst lounge I?ve ever been too. Lastly, I did not feel very welcomed as a black woman in that establishment. If i could give this lounge NEGATIVE 3 stars, I would.

Nice lil Chill Spot...unfortunately cash is it and the employee there was not to mention when I first arrived there, he claimed that there is a small sign.. The sign is at the front door but not at the exit side when you enter...before they change a 16% service fee...as there is a service fee when there is money... I barley had enough money to pay so that it's just cash

Ambiance was nice. Front of building looks a little dated, but the inside is much newer and nicer. Finger foods available. Drinks are good. NEED A BETTER DJ than the one there that night...one that reads the crowd. Staff was nice. There's a cover at the door that wasnt mentioned online until i got there

Good hookah, good bar. Food is super cheap. Mini pizza was good, and my date really likes the grape leaves. Music was ok or little loud. I would have sat outside where it's a bit more quieter but there was some bugs, so maybe they could spray the outdoor couches with insect repellents more often?
