Tucked into the 78704 on West Oltorf Street, our 21+ hookah lounge pairs premium shisha and house-crafted signature mixes with a full halal Mediterranean kitchen — indoors, or out on the lantern-lit patio.
504 W Oltorf St, Austin, TX 78704 · 21+ with valid ID · Open until 2 AM Fri & Sat
A Neighborhood Lounge, Not a Scene
Every neighborhood deserves a place where the night slows down. For South Austin, that's the hookah lounge at Mezze Cafe — on West Oltorf Street in the heart of the 78704, minutes from South Congress and downtown. No dress code, no cover-charge attitude: just plush seating, Moroccan lanterns, and long conversations over a well-packed bowl.
What makes it different from every other hookah lounge in South Austin is what's attached to it: a family-owned, fully halal Mediterranean kitchen that's been feeding this neighborhood since 2015. Order mezze platters and shawarma straight to your lounge table, finish with the knafeh whose crunch was praised by the Austin Chronicle, and let the evening take its time.
