I've been to cigar bars in Philladelphia, Denver, and NYC. This place beats them all. It has everything: great food, wonderful atmosphere, super clean filtered air, fun wait staff, great cigar and alcohol selections. But this wouldn't be much at all if it weren't for the most personable, knowledgeable, and helpful person there: JIMMY! Jimmy makes the place electric! Great experience overall 5 stars! read more

The steak was great, and all of the sauces were very good. The sides and appetizers left a lot to be desired, but I'm the kind of guy who is perfectly content with just a great piece of meat, so the steak made the meal for me. One thing to be aware of: this is a cigar bar, so expect a pretty heavy smoke smell. I've been to other cigar bars with much better ventilation where the smoke wasn't nearly as noticeable. For a place that also serves food, I think a better ventilation system is pretty essential. Overall, I'd come back for the steak, but I'd probably skip the appetizers and sides. read more

The food is delicious. Great service as always. Atmosphere is great as long as you don't mind cigar smoke.

Too messy and disorganized, got out as soon as I got in and not worth whatever giveaway they were trying to attract me in with... -- Dave

Great restaurant. Even for non-smokers. The food is wonderful. The smell is not a pungent cigarette smell. They will help you purchase a low cost cigar if you've never smoked before and even give good tips. Highly recommend Churchill's and Birmingham. read more

I really enjoyed my experience here. The host, the waitress and the guy helping with cigars were all very nice and helpful. We smoked cigars and had drinks. I have a flight of whiskey -- I wanted to try so different types of whiskey and the waitress recommended some very good options. This location also has a restaurant unlike the Grosse Point location. We did not eat however I watched ALL the food go by and it really looked good. I've heard nothing but good things about the food but I typically go to smoke and drink. read more

Decent food...there are better steakhouses in the neighborhood...if I smoked cigars and didn't mind the smell of smoke during my meal, I likely would have liked it a lot more. read more

Terrible communication, kept trying to get a reservation for weeks, the manager and staff were very unprofessional, total confusion when we got there to get a table. Never coming back. read more

Tony was an absolute delight. The drinks were good. The cigar selection was more than good.

There's not many cigar bars like this one. I come here usually during Christmas holiday season to meet up with my brother and a few good friends. It's very busy and they don't take reservations so be prepared to wait for a table. They have a decent craft beer selection (draft and bottle) along with a top-of-the line cocktail bar options. The service is usually very good. A great venue to enjoy a good cigar and sip on an adult beverage. read more

This place is a jewel, too bad not anything like this in my city, good is great desserts are better and great humidor with variety of quality premium cigars read more

Good food, drinks and cigar selection. Only problem was finding parking and getting a seat, but I hung out until a spot at the bar opened up and then enjoyed the rest of the evening. read more

Always a great place to grab food and cigars. Can be busy on weekends but worth the wait!

The service is kind of awkward, birmingham is the largest population of assholes in the state and the service tends to only be cool to folks they know have money. They have a good selection of cigars and their steak-bites with everything added - shrooms and greens and potatoes is absolutely amazing. read more

Great service as always! Enjoy a huge selection of fine cigars with friends. Have fun. read more

Churchill's Bistro - Great place to enjoy an evening out with friends! Awesome service. Great selection of cigars. - Sports Bars Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

To round out the evening, our group when to Churchill's. There was six in our party and we were able to be seated within minutes of our arrival. My brothers, cousin, and I went to the cigar room to make our selections. Given that I have only smoked a cigar once previously, I asked the staff member in there for recommendations based on my preference. I settled on Tatiana Honey and Groovy Blue. Since we were patrons at the time of our selections, our server scanned them and added them to our bill. Once back at the table, I ordered an appetizer of Oysters Rockerfeller and a glass of Moet Nectar Imperial Rose. The ambiance was very welcoming and relaxing. I enjoyed my time there and looking forward to returning to enjoy a meal. read more

The staff here is so accommodating and there is an ample selection of cigars to choose from. The food and drink menu are amazing. The ambiance is always bustling, yet welcoming. This location is 7 minutes from home and by far, my favorite! I always go whenever I want to have a chill day out with friends or my significant other. read more

Number one keep in mind it's a Cigar bar. So if you don't like smoke, avoid this place. The service was average. We ordered a full meal. The tables around us got bread we did not. The food was OK. The salad was good. My meal was completely on season. The mashed potatoes were bland, the asparagus had no cheese or seasoning of any kind, and the steak was bland. Glad to order the zip sauce. Good cut of meat, but when you go out and pay the prices that they charge for a good steak, you expect the steak to be prepared with some expertise. The ambience was Smokey and had lots of sports on the TVs. Good place to go to watch a game with friends and have a cigar or a drink. Not a place to take your woman to out on a date. read more

Just left a wedding and was not interested in eating there because it was buffet style. I was nervous due to Covid concerns and lack of masks at the wedding so we decided to stop here. We grabbed a seat outside and was greeted by a smiling waitress. She took our drink order and look at menu for food. We ordered calamari, buffalo rock shrimp, fried green tomatoes as appetizers. They were all well seasoned and delish. Dinner was salmon, lamb chops and scallops. If ever in town again, we will be back for sure. read more

Churchill's is one of a kind. Others try, but come up short. Great atmosphere ( good ventilation) best steaks in Bham. Always welcomed and service here is 5/5 read more

Churchill's reminded me of a trendy spot in New York. I was definitely transported to somewhere other than boring Michigan. This establishment is definitely not a lounge...it's not laid back at all. On last night, it was a buzz. The energy in that place was through the roof. The noise level was a tad overwhelming. I thoroughly enjoyed people watching though and even chatting with other patrons. I arrived about 8:30 pm and realized I didn't have enough change for the last 30 minutes of the paid parking meter hours. I ran in and asked for a table and also for change for the meter. The host staff was very accommodating, gave me change and held my table while I went out. I thought that was super cool because, the restaurant was packed with several people waiting. I brought my own cigars with me, so I didn't go over to the humidor, but it looked amazing. It was sizable and I could see a wall of cool looking pipes. The ventilation was good, the air was pretty high, so much so that I was cold. Not uncomfortably however. I ordered the Perfect Peach martini. I enjoyed it. I had starved myself all day in anticipation for a good meal. I had been told that the food there was exceptional. I had also been lusting at the foodie pics they post on IG. I selected crab stuffed mushrooms and steak bites. Both dishes were great. The mushrooms were served in a cream sauce that was a great accompaniment. The steak bites were perfectly medium and were quality beef. The steak was paired with sauteed spinach and onions in a zip sauce. I ate and ate until I was stuffed and pleased. The waitress was attentive and friendly. I hope to find a quieter night to visit the next time. I'm looking forward to perusing the humidor. read more

Don't go! The hospitality was the worst. D, the host of manager didn't seem us worthy even though we could buy the establishment if we chose. They clearly did not want us there, even though we'd been at this the Birmingham and Grosse Pointe many times. Never again! Not until D is fired as he treated us horrifically for no reason. We were asked to leave because one of our party was turning 21 in six days. She did not order a cocktail. Thank you D for ruining my son's 25th. read more

This place has theee best pasta hands down , drinks are amazing service is always good. If you don't like smoke this isn't the place for you. They have a good selection of cigar to purchase to have with dinner or take home. This is in my top 5 places to eat !! read more

A friend invited my wife and I to join her and a few other friends at Churchhill to celebrate her birthday. Our party started out as eight people they go to 12 management accommodated by providing the second table and then explain to us that everyone's food would be on one bill with 20% gratuity. We said no problem. the party grew by six more individuals who grabbed a separate table as they arrived, management, then came out and told them they would not be served because they were holding the tables for possible future guests, and they did not provide service to such a large group. I asked why not just give them a different server? Management responded with a hard no! Then I asked the manager for his name. He says his name is Zach, I explained to him that I have observed this establishment bend over backwards for larger groups than what we had. ive been patronizing Churchill's for over 15 years. I also explained to Zack that I considered this to be very racist considering our entire group was all black individuals , I said that he did not care that $2500-$3000 was walking out of the door because he did not want to provide us with an additional waiter or waitress. Then Zach proceeded to call the police and tell the police that we were threatening, and he felt that his life was in danger, when all we did was pay our bill and leave, but we did complain loudly. I will never go back to Birmingham's Churchills. - This was a Tuesday evening - There were only 20 or less people in the Bar - At least 5 servers including the Manager read more

If you don't mind cigar smoking, then you'll enjoy Churchill's. Food is solid and the staff is great. Predominantly a 50 and up men's spot. read more

This is my 2nd time coming to this establishment.. l love love the shrimp, scallop risotto. The scallops are the main event med-large in size perfectly cooked. The sauce is creamy and flavorful with complementing micro greens. The 1st time we came my husband ordered the salmon but this time he also ordered the risotto because he liked my dish better than his. read more

I enjoyed my visit to Churchills Bistro....I had a great steak dinner. I also enjoyed a wonderful cigar and a bustling atmosphere. The traffic was constant and everyone was enjoying themselves. It definitely felt like the place to be and to be seen. They have a extensive selection a cigars to choose from if that's your delight. Everyone working was engaging and knowledgeable. The staff was very attentive to all your needs. The steak was prepared to my wishes with mashed potatoes and spinach as sides. I can't wait to return for another visit. Dinner was above average pricing but well worth it to me. If you want to try a different setting give it a try. read more

Great place, great people, and great food. Definitely a spot to go-to if you love cigars.

Great place to unwind! It's a whole vibe. From the attentive waiters, knowledgeable staff, delicious food, stiff drinks, and friendly people. I had 2 alcoholic beverages, a cigar, oysters, scallop and shrimp risotto and a mocha cappuccino, total cost inc tip was $150.00. Definitely worth every penny. I highly recommend. Hope this helps. read more

Yet another win for Churchill's last night. The whole experience was so enjoyable we were hoping we'd get snowed in and have to spend the night. Of course we had to start with my beloved oysters, which are always top-notch here. For my entree, I ordered the scallop and shrimp risotto this time and it was unbelievable - 10/10 on preparation, presentation, flavor, and service. How refreshing to see that the staff enjoys being here just as much as we do! See you soon. read more

I've been here several times before and this place never disappoints! Our server Jennifer B was knowledgeable, personable, and she made my husbands 40th birthday kickback amazing. She knew the menu and recommended the fried green tomatoes and it was soooooo good. We asked for her to choose our entree and when we got the crab stuffed Salmon it was cooked perfectly! Five star! Our cigars were fresh and the drinks were perfection, the ambiance unbeatable. There was not one flaw. We have made a biweekly commitment to come for a Sunday early nightcap. read more

Good and service were very good. We sat outside and had a very nice afternoon. I had the Davidoff salad w blackened Salmon. Next time I would ask for dressing on the side, but it was very good read more

Not impressed with very unwelcoming staff. He physically blocked us from trying to enter starting, "We've got a full house" on a chilly Thursday night. I asked what time we should try tomorrow, suggesting 2pm, and he basically implied there was no good time. Night before we tried and they'd stopped serving food two hours before closing. We definitely got the vibe that we weren't walking. Could it be because we didn't look like the crowd inside? Just felt weird and unfriendly. Take our money elsewhere. read more

Been here twice now and the service has always been excellent. Greeted and always sat right away you can make your way to the humidor to pick out your own cigar. They have a large selection and someone is typically in there if you have questions. You then take your cigar and sit back down and your server will come by to cut an light it. The vibe is great and even being a cigar lounge the air isn't stagnant and smokey. I heard they pump fresh air every 3 minutes to help with the smoke. Great wine list and they make a great martini with blue cheese stuffed olives :) Don't just come for cigars and drinks because the food is great as well. They have a great cheese board with items you actually enjoy and eat. Their burgers/sliders are awesome and the buffalo shrimp is a must order. I also appreciate the attentiveness of the servers and even the manager. Great date night and after work spot! read more

Very good food. Sever was amazing. The vibe makes it a good place to just chill and relax a bit.

Oh, I really like this place. It's a great Cigar bar, but the service is always excellent and the food is too. My only complaint is it gets very busy by 5 o'clock so I have to arrive a little early to get a good table. But I guess that's the price of success. It's really an excellent place to go in general and especially in downtown Birmingham IF you are cigar smoker. read more
