Cafe Hookah

726 Clark St, Evanston, IL 60201

Corkage Fee: None

Northwestern students fill up every inch of this dark and smoky hookah bar on the weekends, especially since the 18 and older policy allows for the underclassmen to partake in the fun. Regardless of whether you're 21, though, alcohol is not served--and those who stop by for the Arabic food are advised to BYOB. The list of 30 tobacco varieties encourages multiple trips, especially with flavors like mango, peach, jasmine and orange. If you'd like to snag a table, arrive early; there's only 10 tables in the entire bar and it gets crowded fast once other local watering holes call it a night.

Hours: Sunday through Thursday, 6 p.m.-2 a.m.; Friday through Saturday, 6 p.m.-4:30 a.m.
