Seems to lean toward being a 'hooker' bar, or perhaps a hook-up bar.

I wondered if the clientele or women were Asian. I saw no connection to
that during a quick look-up.

I didn't know myself.

The angle about being gang activity could play in, if this is the genre.

Boy was I off base with that post. Sorry.

I thought they were using slang for hooker. WRONG!

Hookah lounge - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Hookah_lounge

A shisha parlor is sometimes mistakenly referred to as 'hookah lounge'
(also called a shisha bar or den, especially in Britain and parts of Canada).

It is an establishment where patrons share shisha from a communal hookah
or from one placed at each table or a bar.
