About Up In Smoke Hookah Lounge

Up In Smoke Hookah Lounge is a small, independent hookah bar that primarily offers flavored shisha (hookah), soft drinks or light refreshments, and a relaxed social atmosphere. Locations using the “Up In Smoke Hookah” name typically operate as lounge-style venues where patrons can choose from a variety of hookah flavors and spend extended time socializing, listening to music, or watching TV. Some locations also sell related smoking accessories at retail.

A charge from “SQ *UP IN SMOKE HOOKAH” on your card statement usually indicates an in‑person purchase processed via Square at a local Up In Smoke hookah lounge or bar. This is most often a same‑day charge for hookah service, refills, and possibly drinks or snacks, and it may include tax and gratuity if you added a tip on the Square terminal. In some cases, you may see a small pending or slightly higher initial amount if an authorization hold was placed before the final total was settled.

If you’re unsure about this charge, start by checking your recent receipts, texts, and calendar for a visit to a hookah lounge with a similar name on the transaction date, and confirm with anyone who has access to your card. Because this business runs through Square, you may be able to locate a digital receipt sent by email or SMS at the time of purchase. To resolve billing questions, contact the venue directly at the phone number listed on your receipt or map listing; if you can’t identify the exact location or you suspect fraud, contact your card issuer to dispute the transaction or request a card replacement.
