*Way better than any other sheesha place and most bang for your buck in YYC*
My boyfriend and I decided to check this place out for sheesha after we had gone for dinner. The place is quaint, the music wasn't too loud and the owner/manager was incredibly kind. We order a single hookah off the menu, of which had quite a nice selection of sheesha to choose from. We also ordered some beverages. The beer menu was quite small (mostly domestics: Kokanee etc) and quite a few cocktails. I ordered a bloody mary, which was average as far as cocktails go. The atmosphere of the place was great; after getting our hookah after about 15 minutes, the manager came around and told us how to use our coal so as not to burn our sheesha. He was incredibly personable and kind, and took some time to sit down with us and we chatted about where he was from. Our waitress did not spend much time checking on us throughout our time; but the manager DID. The waitress had some difficulty taking our order. Their food menu was quite substantial, but we didn't get a chance to try because we had just eaten. The staff was very approachable, helpful and kind. The place needs a bit of refurbishment, the bathrooms are a little dingy and the building is a little dated; but given the owner has just recently taken possession, he is trying to revive the place. Overall good service, friendly staff and most bang for your buck as far as sheesha is concerned in this city.

I dropped by this place after Stampede and I must say I was pretty impressed! It's such a friendly atmosphere there's a fun juke box you can use to choose your own music and the shisha is thick and great.. I tried the cheesy bread and fell in love. All I can say is ignore the ratings online about this place (I almost skipped out because of that) and just sit on the patio and try it for yourself

Love love love! Pretty much family and the shisha beats every place in town :) it gets super busy on weekends which makes the orders slow but thw quality never fails. Certain staff is shy but none the less so nice and beyond respectful and helpful. I love this place soooo much :)

Answer to Pabbo. How can you tel the Empire Cafe Lounge and Shisha Bar Is the Worst service or horrible place to go , if you didn't Stay for a few Second to find out or experience the grate service @ Empire Sheesha Lounge . I would say you and your Friends are the most worst customers that Calgary Empire Sheesha bar could have and please be kind to everyone and next time go anywhere you think you belong.

Definately the best shisha in town, but that only takes a place so far... So let's talk about the service, if you want a place where the owner treats you like family,respects you and goes out of his way to make every experience a pleasurable one then Empire puts all the other places in town to shame. Anybody heading down there, try the Carrot Ice Cream drink, nothing quenches a thirst like this drink on a hot summer day espicially when your sitting outside. Love it, mad respect. Keep up the great work!
