A new hookah bar is coming to Dearborn’s West Village Commons.

It has been a revolving door of businesses at Dearborn’s West Village Commons -– the Burton-Katzman development on Michigan Avenue that opened in 2005.

But one of the first tenants of the development, Le Cigar, continues to thrive in this location and now plans to open a new hookah bar next door to his current business, which will be called La Hookah.

We wrote about the new hookah bar coming to this location back in November. See earlier story HERE.

The new La Hookah, which is expected to open in two weeks, is one of two new hookah bars coming to west Dearborn.

While hookah bars aren’t our thing, they apparently are popular. Le Cigar and La Hookah owner Najib Rizk says his businesses help draw people to west Dearborn.

“We have customers that come from Northville, Novi and Royal Oak,” Rizk said. “We are a unique place. We do need to draw more tenants to this area. The more we can draw new business to this area the better.”

The second hookah bar is planned to go into the Gateway Plaza development at the corner of Michigan and Military.

This would be the first business to go into the Gateway Plaza building, which opened in 2007 offering some 11,000 square feet in retail space and lofts on the second floor.

Regular readers of DeepsaidWhat.com will recall that Gateway developer Hakim Fakhoury once touted it would be occupied with a Bora Bora Coffee Shop, Quizno’s Sub Shop, Armani store and Caliente Grille. It isn’t clear when the new hookah bar business will open. A separate restaurant also is slated to open in the Gateway Plaza, which will offer carryout to serve hookah bar patrons and others.

When both open, west Dearborn will offer at least four places for hookah fans to smoke. The marketplace will decide just who will survive.
