LOL…$50 for the tobacco?? It costs $10 for a box…which I’m sure is cheaper when you buy in bulk…and $40 for a pitcher of sangria? …Please, I can only imagine the pretentious crowd this place will draw…those are the only idiots who would pay those majorly inflated prices…no thanks
$50 for Shisha???? are you kidding me???!!!! avg price for shisha is $12-$20. With your rooftop shit and decor TOPSS $25.
