By Desert Rain Lounge, Forest Hills, Queens · November 2, 2026
Short answer: Desert Rain Lounge is a hookah lounge and cocktail bar at 107-29 Metropolitan Ave in Forest Hills, Queens. It's open every day from 4 PM to 2 AM, it's 21+ only, and every hookah is $50 whatever the flavor.
If you've typed "hookah lounge Queens" into your phone, you probably want to know three things fast: is it good, what does it cost, and can you get in tonight. Here's the honest version.
It's a lounge first. People come to sit with friends, share a hookah, order drinks from the bar and stay a while. There's a full bar, games on screen when there's something worth watching, and event nights through the year. It has been on Metropolitan Avenue since 2014.
It's not a restaurant, but there's bar food: fries, mozzarella sticks, chicken nuggets, chicken wings, chicken empanadas and fried Oreos, from $5 to $12. Delivery is on DoorDash and Uber Eats.
Every hookah is $50, any of our 28 flavors or one of the signature mixes. Add-ons cost a little extra:
One hookah is easy to share between two to four people. Bigger groups often get two so nobody waits for the hose.
Cocktails at $13 (the Hennessy Passionfruit Margarita is the one people ask about), $6 shots, soju at $14 in three flavors, wine by the glass or bottle, around 20 beers and seltzers, and zero-proof drinks. The full list is on the menu.
Not always, but on Friday and Saturday nights and on event nights it helps. You can request a table online or call (929) 386-0057. A table is confirmed once the team replies.
Adults 21 and over, with valid ID. Desert Rain is not an 18+ lounge. It works well for a relaxed night with friends, a date, watching a game, or a birthday with the bottle package.
