Empire Shisha Bar

St Albans shisha lounge open until 1-2am with a broad menu and a chilled group vibe.

A relaxed, music-led shisha lounge that regulars call chilled and inviting. Newer reviews describe loud neighbouring groups and speaker noise, so the mood depends on your table.

Wide range of shisha flavours (mint, grape, apple, pineapple, watermelon), frequent coal changes, a mixed food menu, cocktails and a signature four seasons drink, open late.

Reviewers praise authentic-tasting dishes and compare the food favourably with known Middle Eastern restaurants, though the menu also leans into pub-style items like parma and sliders.

Older reviews call the shisha and food cheap and affordable; one reviewer found a wrap and a can of drink expensive at around $27 after price rises.
