First, for a divey-style bar, the barkeep was really friendly. And they have good drinks. He made a stiff dirty martini, an espresso martini, and a few of their Mezcal-based "Smoke and Berries." Outside, we feasted on cheap eats from (I can't remember the name), but we ordered everything from tacos to nachos to fries and I think empanadas? Great music, great lighting, service, and drinks.

From the jump, the energy was chill but not boring... lights were warm, music had bounce, and the whole place felt curated without being corny. Bartender energy? Different. No menus needed... we gave a vibe, he poured what matched it. Not sure what was in the glass, but it slapped. You ever drink something so good you start reevaluating your life choices? That. Clean pours. Balanced. Not over-mixed. Just enough sweetness to get you in trouble. Crowd was mixed, stylish... looked like people who know where to be without needing to post about it. The seating's cozy enough to post up and talk but open enough to float around if you're trying to socialize. It had that lounge-meets-night-out energy. Bathrooms were clean... that matters when the drinks are flowing. Never felt like a dive. Never felt like a bottle-service trap either. It's got identity... almost like a cocktail bar that grew up on rap albums and old money. It's giving... if Frank Ocean curated a bar playlist then dipped out the back with your ex.

There's lots of seating and had a great outdoor patio too.

Their drink selection is huge and everything we have tried has been amazing. The cigar selection is also excellent and the employees are very helpful when it comes to helping you choose the right one. They offer monthly locker rentals, have lots of TVs, and usually play great music. My favorite is when they have R & B or jazz vibes. I have come in before when they were playing Green Day or harder rock, which did not quite match the chill atmosphere, but that is a small dent in this great place. They manage the smoke really well so it never feels overly smoky inside. There is also a restaurant next door, which is perfect because you can order food, bring it over, and they give you a pager to let you know when it is ready. Always a great experience here, one of our favorites! They are always playing games and were showing the Olympics this time.

Coming from California, I especially appreciated the pricing--everything was very reasonable. The lounge is clean, comfortable, and located in a great area. The staff and regulars were friendly and welcoming, creating an atmosphere where it's easy to relax and enjoy a good cigar. It looks like some remodeling is about to begin outside, which should make the experience even better. Whether you're looking to watch football, meet friends, or unwind after work, this is a must-stop cigar lounge when you're in the area. Highly recommended!

I ordered a Tito's soda and asked if they could make it a little fancy. They brought out prickly pear simple syrup and it was perfect. Light, refreshing, pretty, and exactly what I wanted. We also had the Harissa Lamb Tacos and they were so good. Flavorful, tender, and balanced. The kind of food you order thinking it'll be just a snack and then you're mad you didn't order more. But honestly, the service is what made this five stars. I accidentally left my credit card at the bar and the staff literally tracked me down, handed it back to me, and gave me a hug. That kind of care and attention is rare and really meant a lot. I wish I remembered the bartender's name because they were amazing.

By the time our table was ready, my fashion sense was vintage and I'd gone through two of the five stages of grief. * The Menu: It's a 60-page book. I didn't realize there would be a reading assignment before I could get a drink. I'm pretty sure the guy at the next table finished a PhD while deciding between the 'Duck Bath Punch' and a martini. * The Vibe: I asked for a "regular" vodka soda and the bartender looked at me like I'd just kicked a puppy. Verdict: The drinks are liquid art, but if you go on a Friday, bring a snack, a sleeping bag, and a thick skin for when the mixologist judges your life choices.
