Editorial Review for Falucka – by Melissa Kirsch

The Scene
Leather banquettes and ottomans, stained glass lamps and rose petals scattered on the table: Wait, is this Bleecker Street or the Cairo Bazaar? This Middle Eastern-themed club offers a leisured reprieve from a block known better for its mob scenes than its martinis. The spacious bar draws a genial, good-looking crowd of West Village professionals, baseball-capped undergrads and pleasantly surprised accidental tourists.

The Draw
Guest DJs spin Medina-flavored fusion along with house and techno, and belly dancers stop in for a twirl, often accompanied by live percussionists. The house cocktails are strong and sweet, with a French martini topping the list. When the bar's hosting a hookah night, you can sample apple tobacco from those famous tall water pipes.

User Reviews for Falucka

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

A couple of friends and I were just hangin around the Village and saw this spot and it seemed to be cool so we went in. We didn't know it was a hookah lounge until we actually got inside and saw the setup. It's not huge so don't plan to have a bunch of people there but the service was great, the music was going, the regulars were nice and we all had a great time. I'd totally recommend it to anybody who's looking for a few hours to hang out on a weeknight.

We went there to smoke hookah, they had only one flavour, hookah was 25 $ and waitress was pushing us to buy drinks, she would ask us every 2 min. Service charge was included on slow night only for 3 people. There're much better places to go out there.

Adds a worldly touch to an otherwise rowdy stretch of NYU brew bars.  See the full editorial review.
