Have Mood Lounge

Have Mood Lounge is a shisha lounge on Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Road in the Al Olaya district of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Like all evening venues in the Kingdom it is alcohol-free, and its appeal rests on flavoured shisha, soft drinks and snacks served in a social, relaxed setting. Al Olaya is one of the capital's busiest commercial and leisure districts, so the lounge is convenient for visitors staying nearby or finishing dinner in the area.

The lounge is reported to sell ticketed packages instead of a simple door charge. A standard package is reported at SAR 119 (about $32) and includes a drink and a snack, while a VIP package is reported at about SAR 169 (about $45). Prices are given as ranges of SAR 119 to 169 and should be confirmed with the venue before visiting, since packages and inclusions can change. The ticket model means that shisha, drinks and food are bundled, which makes the cost predictable for groups.

The typical crowd is made up of friends, colleagues and couples in their twenties and thirties, with groups sharing a table and a hookah for a couple of hours. Dress is casual to smart casual, and modest clothing is expected in line with Saudi public norms. The atmosphere is sociable and relaxed, with background music rather than a dancefloor, and the focus is on conversation and lingering over shisha.

Hours are not published; the lounge is reported to operate in the evenings, and visitors should verify opening times before travelling. As with most Riyadh lounges, Thursday and Friday evenings, which begin the Saudi weekend, are likely to be the busiest, while Sunday to Wednesday evenings are calmer. Booking ahead is sensible for groups, and VIP packages suggest that seating tiers may be available. No bottle service applies, because alcohol is not served.

Smoking indoors is part of the experience here, so visitors sensitive to smoke may prefer another type of venue. Those who enjoy shisha will find Have Mood Lounge a straightforward, package-priced option in central Riyadh.
