First of all, save yourself potential embarrassment: It's pronounced "pie-eeez," for those of us who didn't spend a semester abroad studying diaeresis. And come to think of it, this bar has a couple things in common with that cheeky foreign metaplasm: They both assert a certain exotic aesthetic, and they both can cause some confusion on your first read-through.
There's nothing particularly distinct about Päaeez on the outside, other than the clever brushed aluminum overhead logo. But on the inside, a dazzling nightspot with a sexy ambiance has risen from the carcass of the greeting card store that it once was. Päaeez, which means autumn in Turkish, is more streamlined than you’d imagine from the street.

1Consistent with Bal's review, we also found service/mgt/attitude atrocious. Arranged in advance to seat 20, could barely seat 12 when we arrived. Instead just moving fwd, staff tried to deflect by claiming we were LATE! ( posted by L from Toronto 606 days ago 2"nice place but crap service" don't expect to be treated for what you pay there. Drinks are very expensive and they won't leave you with a feeling of "oh wow never had that one before". The servers FORGET their customer's orders, so if u heading there make sure you tell them like five times other wise they simply ignore you. Overall it was a bad experience as me and my friend left the place due to poor service and didn't get the value for $$..i would rather recommend Oasis hookah bar!! posted by Shikha 490 days ago 3i agree with Shikha...service was horrible! It took them forever to bring the sheesha we ordered. Apparently the server forgot the order and we had to remind him. Totally unacceptable when you are paying your hard-earned dollars. It definitely left a bitter taste in my mouth. Wont be going back to that place again and i advise the same for others! posted by sanyam.j@gmail.com 481 days ago 4Worst service I have ever had. Waitress has no interest in providing good service (and neither does the owner since the waitress is still working there). Overcharged my card by about 30% or so and would not return the money (instead she told me to f*** off). The group across from me left as well due to terrible service. (I wonder how many walk out every night...) Extremely limited seating (need to wait long before they can accomodate you for hookah). I guess it's okay if you want to spend a hundred a piece on drinks BEFORE you even see a hookah! And it's unavoidable since, according to others, reservations aren't taken seriously either. Apparently this is the state of things now - not like it was a few years ago when I was a regular customer. posted by Jim 431 days ago 5Worst service ever, stuck up blondie waitress can't get any orders right. She charged me for drinks I didn't order & she called my friends liers. Then she insists I should cover some dudes drinks because he sat by the bar close to our seats. Don't leave your credit card with them they'll add anyones drinks to your tab, so long as they say they're with your party. posted by Mike 400 days ago 6One of the worst places to go if you want normal service. Yes if i and 5 friends stop going that does not mean it will shut down. But the host, bar tenders REALLY have to take a lesson in looking at customers, meaning. If people come up to a bar on a regular slow night, serve me please, do i have to really ask? also the host was more than on one occassion a jack-ass, but i made sure to let him know that the place is really stupid. He had a pretty stupid look on his face when 10 of us walked in and out, because we could only sit at the bar, even though the place was empty, because of a 'party' DO NOT GO THERE! just keep walking west anywhere on college. anywhere but here. posted by Sam 305 days ago 7I had an outrageously poor experience. First, I had to pay to check my coat (am I at a club?). I then had to sit in seats with burn holes in them. My wife went to the restroom which smelled like urine. I ordered a scotch that couldn't have been more than half an ounce ($12!). But the kicker was the hostess asked us to move from our semi-cozy spot to a single bench facing another couple because a group had showed up and they wanted our seats. Ridiculous.
Save your money and avoid this bar. posted by Novian 295 days ago 8I'm sorry this is not a hookah bar!! they suck. THey are snobby and way to posh for my taists.
A hookah bar should be a place where you chill with a nice drink and listen to music that isn't so loud that you can't hear your friends. It should be a CHILL enviroment. Oasis fruit bar has that. But thats not the point. This place down right sucks. So does their shisha...They MAKE YOU pay for coat check or you can't come in period. The soda was watered down...I mean sprite should taist like sprite when you get it from a bar . This place had it taisting like water. It was discusting. Its overly priced too , One hookah was 20 dollars. ONE MINI HOOKAH! no refills nothing. Just one..and you can't combine flav.s ..it was ugh.THEIR SHISHA SUCKS BTW!! I'm still upset about our experience. It was way to loud in there, I couldn't even think straight. It was cramped and so sickeningly uncomfortable it wasn't even funny. I think I saw our waitress once the entire time..bless her she had the whole area to work.
It just was crap. four sodas( we didn't dare buy liquer in there. I don't wanna know what that would have cost us.) and ONE hookah was 50 bucks. Can you friggin believe that? ugh this place sucks. Do not go here if you enjoy hookah.
if you wanna be a poser and be all posh on your cell phone while you smoke something. Then by all means waiste your money here. posted by Sarah 174 days ago | |
