Nomad has such a beautiful venue, but as a regular hookah smoker, they really need to improve the quality of their hookah. It burns easily, is hard to pull, and they use the wrong type of coal. For a hookah lounge I’m really disappointed, and I hope they take time to rethink their hookah

I’ve been in DC for years & always walk past here. Finally decided to come in & I’m soooo glad I did!! Walked in & was greeted by Mimi who has an amazing vibe, so friendly & so sweet. I’m mad I took forever to come here lol. Good drinks, good music, good vibes & the hookahs +drinks are a good price. 10/10 will come again!!

One of my favorite go to spots in the district. Laid back atmosphere, good drinks, tons of affordable flavor hookahs, personable staff. The music is hit or miss with a mix of old & new but the atmosphere makes this a very nice after hours spot. No to mention the outdoor patio seating is a big plus during a nice cool day (bring your own bug spray for mosquitos). They do not serve food but nice night cap spot

It was okay, though their use of quick light coals was a bit of a turn off.Service was chronically absent inside (they have a large outdoor patio also), particularly when needed. Like when the guy next to us lost a coal off his bowl and was forced to pick it up off the chair it was melting with two plastic mouthpieces because no tongs were supplied and staff were nowhere to be found.They seemed to have a good list of shisha flavors and their menu pushes cocktails hard -- non-alcoholic drinks were available but not listed.Overall it was just okay. Nomad seems to suffer from something a lot of hookah lounges do: operators less focused on service than hanging with their friends.

Sad hookah bar. The use quick-light coals. They automatically change 18% gratuity but conveniently skip that when you're paying and just skip to the additional tip screen.

I've been coming to NOMAD for years now and try as I might to support my people, the service seems to be going downhill at ever visit. There are a couple that really take care of the customers (me and others) but some staff aren't attentive to where I feel forgotten UNTIL it's time to close-out the bill. That's when it happens in seconds. My glass stayed empty after the first drink, I had to ask the young guy for a coal and he acted as if I was bothering his a**. They just tell you how much it cost and ask for payment rather show you what the bill is. A couple times the bill was incorrect and they could be slick or an honest mistake. I don't know - it just depend on who is your server, what color their mood ring is and if they are having a good day may determine how you'll be taken care of. I did express my disappointment; however, with the included tip, I felt like, "sucker, we got paid so too bad so sad!" I want to like going but I probably won't anymore. H Street is becoming more and more hood and for the price I'm paying and the service I'm getting, "it's a NO for me." There are other establishments that have people that are polite, professional and are happy to welcome you and then there are the "NOMADs" to where they don't even care whether you come back or not. I don't recommend unless you are cool with poor service, small, weak a** drinks and bad hookah.
