    Great experience at this JR lounge while in the area on business. Beer on tap, plus a decent spirit selection. Lots of cigar options to choose from at decent prices. Looks great inside. Chairs are very worn out and need to be replaced. I was here on a Wednesday and it closed at 9pm, which was disappointing. Our lounges in Orlando are open until midnight on Wed-Sat. But the server did let us order drinks and take them outside to the patio to have another stick after they closed.

    A friend invited me to try this cigar lounge. Its tucked away in Mooresville. I was impressed when I walked in because the inside is huge. There is a bar to the left when you first walk in. We selected our cigars with the help of Ed. The bar has nice selections and bathrooms are clean If you're in the area stop by. This place is super relaxing.

    Just a small part of their massive lounge.

    There is nothing like this in Toronto! There will NEVER be anything like this in Toronto. Absolute pity and oh so unfair!!! This JR Cigar is located about 30 mins away from Charlotte Airport in Moorseville and given a chance to make the nearby area my home in the USA, I would. The area has miles and miles of waterfront and is absolutely beautiful. Casa de Montecristo by JR Cigar is a home away from home for me. I went there on my way to High Point (1.5 hours away) and it was a great idea - I also stopped there on the way back to the airport. The lounge is absolutely stunning and the humidor is a dream. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, even to the only Asian guy that was there. I dropped more cash than expected and after I paid and Yelp-Checked-In, I got an alert for 10% off my purchase! Ugh...$30 lost! I guess I'll keep that for my next trip to NC. I sat at the bar for a couple of hours smoking my purchases away - both times. Had a couple of Maker's Mark 46 and sampled some local brews. Dave the Beer-Tender is a great gentleman and all the people I met were as well. In the humidor, the ladies at cash were hilarious. They were signing along with the music and all smoking their own cigars. Yes...in the humidor, which was a perfect temperature and humidity with their high tech vaporizers. I'd go back in a heartbeat. If the totalitarian crazies governing our country would allow tobacconist to have their lounges back, us Canadians would spend our hard earned leftover cash - after they take most of it in taxes - here...instead of the USA. BTW - a cigar that costs $25 here - including all the taxes - is only around $9 down there! Cheers!

    I love this new place. When you first go in you immediately step into a cigar lounge/man cave replete with tv's, tables, and leather comfort chairs. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They even let me borrow a cutter and lighter, which I had forgotten at home. The store itself is a bit smaller than it was in its former Statesville location. The cigar selection also looks a bit smaller and the prices appear to have gone up a tiny bit compared to previous. Nevertheless, I was able to find my favorite "go to" sticks. This will foreseeably become one of my favorite escapes. [Updated this review with a higher score to balance out the clueless review by a clueless Yelper which followed mine. The fact that she can't work a map nor a GPS is not a reflection on JR's. JR's is NOT hard to find nor is the traffic pattern heavy in the slightest. It sounds more like she begrudged making a cigar run for her hubby.]

    This is one of the nicest lounges that I've ever been to. Furniture selection is on point. The humidor is huge! There's a full bar, which i didn't get around to trying. I'm going to make it a point to visit every time i am in North Carolina.

    Time to sit back and relax. #SweetJane

    This place blue my mind…read more I was visiting my best friend while in town for a conference on amusement ride standards. We had a reservation for Blue Door for Saturday night, and it was amazing. Now while she was vaguely aware of their "spirited kingdom" menu, I had NO CLUE. It was the best surprise! They have such a cool menu with a full theme park map containing 4 lands with 4 cocktails each. The cocktails all match the type of ride they are, it's honestly such a cool idea, and it was so well done. I loved the art. I will say, I was skeptical that all of their drinks would actually work and worried that they'd be too caught up in the theme to make results but . . . Oh my goodness I was so impressed by the drinks here. I think a lot of bars these days can get so caught up in trying to be unique that their drinks become nearly undrinkable. This place definitely doesn't suffer there. They brought us an aperitif when we came in, but unfortunately I have a blueberry allergy so we skipped that. We had 4 drinks between the 2 of us and they were all awesome. I ordered the star breaker and the green dragon (what can I say, I love gin and a good coaster), and they were both balanced and tasty. My friend got the diablo and the neon shift, and they were both fantastic as well! The neon shift was served with a black light too which was super cute. The one drink I have to call out specifically is the green dragon. There was something about this drink that was so unique, I have genuinely never had anything like it but I would order it a thousand times over. It's so good. It keeps me up at night. It haunts my every bar order. I will be writing home about it. What else can I say about this place - the service was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the DJ was amazing. I thought "wow this guy really likes sax covers" only to look over and see him PLAYING HIS SAXOPHONE LIVE?? Iconic. This place was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing about it. The spirited kingdom menu will only be around for 6 months according to the waitress, so definitely catch it while it's there! If I'd heard about it sooner, I would've maybe descended upon them with 200+ theme park engineers in town for the conference (maybe it's a good thing I didn't know they were there until after it was over), but instead I will just say DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND MAKE YOUR RESERVATION NOW

    3.5/5 stars. Went back to Blue Door to give it another chance with the new menu... it's still my…read moreleast favorite cocktail bar in all of charlotte. The menu this time is theme park theme... again, a fun concept but not well executed. Pretty overwhelming, especially with the bartenders explaining the menu to us twice with the same spiel there is too much to look at it makes it difficult to pay attention to the drinks. I really did not love my drink (starbreaker?) you could only taste the lychee The bartenders not a vibe, it was not that comfortable to sit at the bar. They now serve food, hotdogs... which do NOT match the vibe at all, so that was interesting that their only food (other than the free popcorn) is not hot dogs..

    I wish I could give more stars…read more We were in town for our son's track meet which happened to fall on my husband's birthday. We wanted a nice place to eat that was casual because we were in track clothes. Everyone was super friendly, from the call about my reservation to the hostesses who greeted us and especially, Ethan, our server. I'm the kind of person who looks at the menu online before I go anywhere and already have in mind what I want. Shrimp burger. Need I say more? I had mine without the tomato and onion. Think crab cake but with shrimp. I assumed (and we know what that gets you) the shrimp would be minced and unrecognizable. Nope! There were like whole shrimp in this "burger"! The flavor was amazing. I think the lemon aioli added such a richness. I tried not to eat all of the amazing fries but the fries won. A complimentary shot of bourbon with peach schnapps was a kind gesture for the Birthday Boy. Can't wait to go back!

    Great, interesting food. Good service. Awesome ambiance…read more Started with roasted carrots. 10/10 - delicious. Colorful roasted carrots on a bed of whipped feta with fried crispy chickpeas and chopped pistachio. Lots of flavor! Husband had smash burger. Wished it was more well done, but said it was delicious. I had smoked rib sandwich with gluten free bun. The bun was GREAT for being gf. Not crumbly like others. Flavors were phenomenal. Will be back and already recommending to friends.
