I've visited and been a member of multiple cigar lounges over several decades and this lounges tops them all!! I can't say enough about how this establishment excels and how happy I am that I found it!! I will absolutely continue to visit regularly!!

This place is THE BOMB!…read more I've been coming here on and off for a few years now and the place is absolutely always amazing. The regulars here treat you like you're practically family. Everyone is welcoming, friendly and just truly great people. If you ever thought for a moment that humanity has lost it's humanity then step into this place and grab a handshake or a hug even if you don't smoke cigars because the men and women that frequent this business are truly angels on earth, so freaking nice! Carlito has since upgraded the walk in humidor to a mega size that has to be three times the size he originally started with so the selection of smokes available has literally tripled. If you like to experiment to find that new great smoke, let's just say the variety is so vast that if you smoke one cigar per day at this place it would probably take you almost a year to get thru all the options. Seating is plentiful but I don't think more than say 25 people can sit in this place but heck it's so welcoming that if I had to stand I'd be cool standing and shooting the shit with the fellas. I'm certainly going to try and stop in more often.

We had finished dinner nearby and were looking for a place to grab a cocktail, when one of my…read morefriends suggested the Hide Rooftop in the Artezen Hotel. The bi-level bar and lounge was dark, swanky, and seductive. It would make an excellent spot for dates or groups of friends, like mine. We started off sitting at the bar, as there were no large tables available upon our arrival. However, after about 15 minutes, the host approached to tell us that he could actually seat us. I picked up my glass, which was wet with condensation, and it slipped out of my hands. I was able to collect it with only a minor spill, but the host insisted that the bar staff make me a new cocktail in case the glass had chipped at all. It was a considerate gesture that I greatly appreciated. Plus, since I had already taken a few sips, I was thrilled to get those back in a new glass! In terms of my cocktail of choice, I had opted for the Hot Tijuana Tease, a fiery blend of mezcal, blanco tequila, chile poblano liqueur, and lime juice. So, it was essentially a spicy margarita, and it was excellent. There were clean, crisp notes of peppery heat balanced with layers of robust smoke. My only complaint about the lounge was that the bathrooms were beyond tiny. There were two unisex stalls in a very tight alcove that also included a cramped sink counter. It was awkward and uncomfortable to share that space with another patron. Aside from that, the Hide Rooftop was a beautiful place with a friendly staff and interesting drinks.

Just found this place and it's a great find…read more Upstairs of a hotel in FIDI, this place got a good amount of indoor seatings. I went when it's cold so their rooftop isn't open. They've got table seatings with happy hour 4 till 7pm mon-wed, 4-6pm thur-fri, and bar seatings is happy hour whole day weekdays. Their happy hour menu doesn't have a huge variety but got some great selections. We had a passion fruit margarita, Amstel beers and some of their boneless chicken wings. Drinks and food were both great. The chicken wings seemed more like nuggets but had a really good batter and was fried nicely, fingers weren't really greasy. So good we ordered another one. There was only one bartender taking our orders so it took a while to place our order since he was really busy but he was super kind and attentive, kept refilling our waters when it got low. This is a great place to wind down whether you just want some food and drinks on you're own after work or if you got a small party to chat with, volume is not too loud. They also had one large table so all good if you're a big group too. I will think their rooftop will be able to seat even more big groups but will come back and find out next time! Great find!

We were looking for a simple summer evening with a little West Point character, and Zulu Time…read moredelivered exactly that. The rooftop has fantastic energy. Between the sweeping views of the Hudson River and Hudson Highlands, the warm summer air, and a DJ keeping the atmosphere lively without overwhelming the conversation, it's the kind of place where you plan to stay for one drink and somehow the entire evening disappears. By the end of the night, our group had managed to eat our way through most of the menu. Nothing was trying to reinvent the wheel, but everything was well prepared, satisfying, and exactly what we wanted for a relaxed rooftop gathering. The food isn't the reason to come--it's the complete experience. Naturally, we leaned into the fun. The Moscow Mule served in a take-home copper mug was an easy decision, and once we spotted the "Double Tap" special (beer, shot, commemorative cup, and T-shirt), there was no turning back. We wanted to make sure we'd remember the night long after we crossed back over the river. The staff deserves a special mention. They handled our large group--including kids--with patience, flexibility, and genuine hospitality. Everyone felt welcome, which isn't always easy with a bigger party. As a former Marine Corps infantry officer, it pains me just a little to hand a five-star review to an Army establishment... but credit where it's due. Zulu Time earned it. I can't imagine the Hotel Thayer without this. It's exactly the kind of place I'll be bringing friends and family from the Garrison, Cold Spring, and greater Hudson Valley area whenever they want a laid-back evening with one of the best rooftop views around.

This place is really, really nice! Space is beautiful and they have an amazing ventilation system…read moreso smoke is sucked up and out of the room as best as it can which is better than other places I've been to. The humidor is really small but I will say what you find in it are super popular sticks (e.g., Padron, Camacho, Plasencia, etc). I have yet to visit a cigar lounge were the patrons are unpleasant. Everyone here is what you'd expect from the cigar culture, very nice and welcoming. I love that we have a place like this in the area because many men (and women) like to come out and just relax in an atmosphere where they can make friends and not be treated like crap or even get hit on like they just walked into a dive bar. Nothing but kind and respectful community of cigar aficionados. My only warning would be to the ladies that the bathroom is a sliding door that leaves a small crack that someone could fairly easily peak in to see if the bathroom is occupied. I don't think anyone here would stand for any creepers (they'd likely toss them on their ass) but I figured I mention that because that may matter to a lady that wants to visit (i.e., having 100% privacy in restroom). Otherwise truly an amazing beautiful lounge with amazing patrons.

We had ordered Guacamole which tasted kind of bland and was just average. Drinks were pretty good though. My main issue was how they have setup their Hookah. Very limited Flavors to begin with and except for one, all other flavors were not so great. On top of that, they charge $10 extra to replace the Coals. $10 for COALS..?!?!? I have been to so many Hookah Lounges and this was the 1st we were ever charged for getting the coals changed. That is just atrocious. Switching the complete bowl with new flavor was $20, so obviously we ended up opting for that eventhough the 1st bowl/flavour was still good and just needed new coals.

The overall experience was frustrating, especially considering the money spent. What really stood out to me was the cleanliness. I noticed a bug in the bathroom, which was extremely unpleasant and made me question how well the establishment is being maintained and cleaned. A place serving customers should take cleanliness and sanitation seriously, especially in areas like the bathroom. The atmosphere may be enjoyable for some people, but based on my personal experience, the poor service and cleanliness issues completely took away from my visit. I expected a much better experience and better customer service. Unfortunately, I left disappointed and would think twice before returning.

I wasn't sure if those were like reserve. As for drinks, they were good, a little on the pricey side. But the music made up for it, and I like that they had free cold ice water.
