Who you calling a Hookah?
February 24th, 2007
The nefarious poker den up the stairs from The Main Street Bistro has morphed into a new bar. Babylon is described as a Hookah Bar. Seems a bit of a stretch to Boisee, but I’ve been wrong before!
Also-Does anyone else see the irony in one Main Street bar( See-Pengilly’s) going no smoking as another opens up emphasizing smoking!

Actually, by my count Babylon will be Boise’s fourth hookah bar (unless one of the existing ones is relocating). Arguably Opa is not a hookah bar, but I’ve certainly seen a lot of apple tobacco packed and smoked there lately in the late hours. But you’ll also find dedicated establishments in the strip mall at Franklin & Curtis (far east end), and at Overland & Curtis, dangerously close to Erotic City and Charlie Browns but also adjacent to the most excellent new Kabul Market, an ethnic market specializing in products from a lower Asian region I’ll describe as Iran and The Stans, and perhaps the city’s only source for Halal meats.
Cough, cough.
