A Warning To Belly Dancers About Zeeba Lounge
To any girls who have been recruited to dance at Zeeba Lounge:
This place has a habit of recruiting amateur belly dancers and taking advantage of them. Here are a few things to know if you're asked to dance there:
1) **It is NOT standard business practice to require a free audition during business hours.** They'll likely tell you that this is to gauge the audience's response. They are attempting to get a night's show out of you for free. Offer to audition when there aren't any customers around or show them a video. That should be plenty for them to decide. They pride themselves on being Baltimore's first hookah lounge and I'm almost certain they've been there for at least a decade. They know what their audience likes. If they get huffy about it and insist, you'll know they're scamming you.
2) Belly dancers DO NOT get paid per hour--it's per set. One set usually lasts 20-25 minutes. As of writing (2010), $85-$100 per set is STANDARD. The low end is MINIMUM. You can give

Relaxing AND Entertaining
Get there early and you may be disappointed, but the party starts once the dancers get there! The food is pretty good, and the hookah service is excellent. Great environment!

Most amazing little hooka lounge!
I have never had anything but an amazing experience at Zeeba. As for the other negative reviews...They are located around the rowdy bar hopping of Federal Hill, so I can see why they wouldn't have any patience for the drunken rudeness that stumbles in. As for the customers that can properly interact with other humans...expect to be treated like family the moment you arrive. They check everyone's IDs all the time...expect a corkage fee and a $10 minimum per person. Try the amazing hummus, baklava, or saffron and rose water infused ice cream. Last but not least...the shisha is they best Ive found in the area.
*Only negative...pick a table with a couch...the square stools can get a little uncomfortable.

If red shirt guy or anyone who was there the night that I was pulled up by my hair by the manager sees this please contact me at: thenextliz2005@yahoo.com so I can speak to you. Thanks.

Hit and Miss
While the shisha was very good and the set-up was beautiful, the owners seemed to be very rude the night my husband and I visited the establishment. My husband made an inside joke while we were getting our ID out and the owner checking the ID thought we were laughing at him (for whatever reason) and threatened to kick us out if we had a problem with him checking our ID! He looked annoyed from the second we walked in, like he wasn't ready to be bothered with paying customers or something. It was so disappointing and while I was ready to leave before we even got started, my husband persuaded me to stay and like I said the product was great; it was the service that left a bad taste in my mouth. It seemed like he realized how rude he was to us by the end of the visit because he jumped up to open the door for us on our way out. I didn't have a good feeling when we left.

Saturday night at Zeeba Lounge
I was pleasently suprised this saturday night when i was invited by a few friends to go to Zeeba Lounge. After reading the reviews here i thought this place was going to be trashy...well i was wrong about that. where most bars you can barely get around, this place has an atmosphere of being laid back. First thing that you notice is the BIG GUY at the door. His personality is friendly and he cracks a few jokes and pranks from time to time. This sets you at ease, oh and he is good looking too. wouldn't mind getting him in my bed...Then you get inside and the waitresses are nice and friendly too. Not that i am bi, but these waitresses i would turn bi for. they had three waitresses that are friendly. one bad part...the manager needs to stop managing so much. i saw him harping one waitress in paticular and she was doing a good job that we all saw. now the next good part. This Belly Dancer named Trinity danced for us. Wow this Girl knew how to move. Very Beautiful and sexy. Trinity i definit

Very bad
Horrible. They suck!
Service is ridiculously bad and there is hardly any room when it's crowded.
My girlfriends and I left without paying. It took so long for our hookah and everything is screwed up there. We're not going back.
