Savannah’s new nightspot has just arrived for adventurous night owls. With an enhanced Mediterranean atmosphere, complemented by the luxurious lure of a hookah lounge, The Mirage Mediterranean Bar & Grill is a pleasure for all the senses.

As the city’s only smoking lounge, owner Red Marsid prides himself on offering something new, but was unsure of how people in Savannah—with all their gentility— would take to the idea of giant smoking devices, complete with velvet hoses and all, adorning their beloved Broughton Street.

Luckily for Marsid, no one put up too much of a fight and the place has become a smokin’ sensation. “The idea was accepted by the city and more and more by the people of Savannah,” he comments. “Once people get to know what it is, they think it’s cool.”

For the record, a hookah is a water pipe that can be smoked with either flavored tobacco or “shisha,” a non-nicotine tobacco product. The smoke gets pulled through the pipe to the water, where it is filtered and cooled, producing a less harsh smoke than cigarettes. As Marsid explains, “You don’t have to be a smoker to smoke a hookah. It offers a nice smell and flavor, and it doesn’t smell like smoke. It is much lighter!”
