    a hand holding a cigar
    Tom M.

    Jimenez tobacco is a family owned business a block away from Newark's Prudential Center. Sadly, I've yet to visit the shop but have had their cigars many times over the years either from purchases made at the Pru Center at NJ Devil games or like today, my coworker picked some up for me. Great tasting handmade cigars made by a family that takes pride in their products. Highly recommend their cigars and will make it a point to visit the store for a drink and a smoke in their outdoor area.

    My boyfriend has lived in Newark for 16 years and he loves the restaurants, culture, and people in the area. I have to admit, he really knows some great places and Jimenez is definitely one of them. This place is a hidden gem, right across from the Prudential Center. The owner greats you warmly and spends time talking to you over a cigar, while is mom is in the back handling the cigars. The Connecticut cigar is the best one out of the bunch and the Moscow mule is pretty amazing as well. There are multiple rooms and a cute outdoor patio. We plan on throwing a happy hour soon - and can't wait to go back.

    Stepping back in time! Absolutely LOVE the decor. Y'all need to open up in Richmond, VA! You would absolutely KILL in in Scott's Addition! Service is 5 stars. Robusto Maduro is absolutely the best and smoothest I've ever had. I can imagine the Rat Pack coming here after a set. Also had a 60 gauge Maduro. So fine! All class!! Excellent bourbon selection. I went with Buffalo Trace. I will be back!!

    From the moment i walked in the ambiance was great. The bartender was amazing!!!!!! She is a phenomenal mixologist. The best part is the company. The owner came by and made us feel like family. I highly recommend this place

    Great place to have a cigar and relax. My husband goes there regularly. Lounge is always expanding; check out their second floor! Cozy byob next to a fireplace will almost make you not want to leave. Ask for Peter!

    This is a great hidden gem in Newark! From the outside Jimenez does not look like much, but it has a bunch of great hand rolled cigars and a giant lounge area. The cigars are all rolled in house. Make you nervous? Me too. But I swear the cigar I had (Brazilian robusto for $12) was delicious. It had a tasty maduro wrapper and had obviously been aged some so that it was a good medium-full smoke. Pretty neat that you can see them rolling cigars when you come in as well. When you enter the cigar shop, you'll notice that there the cigar lounge looks and feels like a townhouse. The downstairs area has a small smoking lounge and the cigars line the walls on the right of the entrance. Directly outside of the front door there is a small table and a couple of seats. There was a little Hispanic lady that greets me who spoke cigar, but was obviously more comfortable in Spanish. I'm guessing she is one of the owners. Walk up the stairs and there are several areas where you can smoke. A large outdoor lounge, a few TVs, a couple of bars and plenty of seating. The decor is a bit odd, there is a Virgin Mary statue with dollar bills pinned to her and lots of antiques. There is a third level as well, but I'm not sure what is up there or if it is open to the public. The fellow smokers were very friendly. It filled up by 4pm. A minute or two after I came in I ran into a nice gentleman who offered me a scotch in celebration of his birthday. Coincidentally, my birthday was a couple days ago, so we celebrated together. Rule to live by, never turn down free alcohol.

    I was really excited to find this place and also amazed to find a cigar lounge in Newark that is essentially a Victorian-styled house. It's right around the block from the Prudential Center and unlike anything you've probably seen in town. The front entrance opens to a small sitting area and display cases where you can grab something to go or sit and watch the TV downstairs. They will cut and light one for you at the counter if you wish or pack them to go. I decided to grab a few cigars and explore upstairs. It's hard to summarize the atmosphere in Jimenez, but on a cold and windy day it was a welcome oasis. It was quiet and dimly lit, the bartender was preparing his set-up for the evening and they were playing old French jazz standards throughout the rooms. It's a place where you can sit by a fire and read or have a drink and b.s. with any of the friendly people who stop in. Peter, one of the proprietors, is super nice and accommodating in offering to take your jacket or a light and a scotch with your cigar. I was excited, but apprehensive to review Jimenez because it's difficult to do it justice, but I suggest stopping in for yourself. I've left out a ton of details so as not to ruin the experience, but it's a diamond in the rough that I recommend to anyone looking for a little leisure in Brick City.

    One of the best kept secrets in Newark! Walking distance (two blocks) from the Prudential Center. This isn't your typical cigar shop. All cigars are blended and rolled in-house. The Jimenez family has been making cigars for over 100 years, and it shows. It doesn't matter if you're looking for a mild cigar, or a full bodied cigar, Jimenez has a great variety. Regardless if you are new to cigars or a seasoned aficionado; they will give you great advice and recommendations. Cigars burn well, taste great and are competitively priced. Jimenez makes all our corporate and specialty gift cigars, with customized cigar bands. The lounge is open to the public. But being a member does have it's privileges; from private humidor lockers, discounts and extended hours for special events / parties. There are three lounge areas, a sitting room with a TV on the first floor; the second floor has larger lounge with two televisions and a second room in the back (quite room), that's great for conducting meetings. The regulars are friendly, always greeting new customers to join them. Currently they are a BYOB; so bring your favorite beverage, they will supply the glasses, ice, etc.... During the summer they have a beautiful outside patio, adorned with palm trees, flowers and a seating area. A great place to sit & relax after a long day. Next time you're in the mood for a cigar, stop by; ask for Peter. Tell him Dennis sent you!

    Great old school Cubano atmoshpere. Smoke shop is downstairs with a small selection of their own cigars. upstairs is a great place to smoke and open a bottle of scotch. Mariana is the hostess upstairs who cuts and torches your cigar. Very hospitable both the owner and the hostess. Will return but will bring a bottle with me this time. Wish they had food. Parking is available.

A mixture of either old, sketchy, no sex appeal and rough around the edges. The dance floor was packed and the music was on point. There was some people that set up food in the back but it left a trail of an odor that was not appetizing. Drinks were ok at best but when I asked for a cup with ice it seemed to be an issue. Very off putting. Not quite sure what the issue was.... The bartender brought the manager over and I had to specify I wanted it for my beer. Yes, I'm a weirdo if I don't get a frosted glass, I'll take a cup with ice. The manager proceeds to ask me ; "So you want me to pour the beer into the cup with ice?" UMMM yes I don't mind pouring it my damn self but if it makes you more comfortable, knock yourself out. It truly didn't make a difference to me who poured it, I just wanted some damn ice to cool myself off! I'm not sure what type of sketchy and shady people they deal with but I am not the one. My boyfriend and I run a good tab on drinks, give me what I'm asking for and paying for! Meanwhile, I did not see just about any of the 30-40 people on the dance floor buy a drink. I then saw hookah's on a table and the price list. Unfortunately, they were not providing hookah service that night. So why have them out? Whewwww I love my house music community and love the Lincoln Park festival that is close to the bar but this past Sunday this bar and crowd missed the mark. The only redeeming factor was the DJ. I highly doubt I'd return unless it were to vibe out and dance to a DJ I reaaaaallly love.

    Vault is very okay. We came here as a first stop on my birthday a few weeks ago. We had a…read morereservation. They sat us upstairs and immediately informed us that there was either a 90 minute limit or two-hour limit. Apparently, after that, it's only four bottle service and there is a three bottle minimum for the table we were at. Sooo, it took forever for anyone to even come take our order. And once our server, who was very much a bottle girl, did come by, she was a bit inattentive and still reiterated the time limit, despite the fact that it took her forever to even come see what we needed, bring refills, etc. We ordered food, hookah, and drinks. I always think that hookah situations at lounges are so interesting because who is this one person walking around taking random payments that isn't really affiliated with a business but is? Anyway, I think hookah was like $40-50. Not crazy. The hookah girl checked on it properly so I appreciated that. The drinks were basic. No presentation - just regular degular, ratchet lounge drinks in plastic cups. The food was fine. We ordered truffle fries and the first two orders they brought out to us were cold as hell. They told us they would replace them, but only ended up bringing one. We ordered the salmon bites, too, and those were actually very good. Nothing else was really memorable. Again, the service was extremely slow for a place that had a time limit. We happen to be here on the night that they were celebrating Ghana's Independence Day, which is one of my personal favorite holidays, and the vibes were OK. When we got there, the DJ was doing what he was supposed to do. Then, they did that weird thing that DJs do where they try to use dancehall as a bridge between trap/rap as they make their way to Afrobeats. The Afrobeat selection wasn't even leaning Ghanaian, so that was interesting. Also, it was very much the type of environment/vibe where everybody is just on their phone. There was very minimal dancing aside from this one couple in the middle of the floor that was clearly using it as the play before (if you get me) but they were cute. I would've loved to see more dancing and less standing/posing. Would I return? Maybe.

    Not every Instagram famous restaurants live up to the hype, but this one does. The decor is trendy…read moreand staff friendly and efficient. Everything we ordered; Apps, Entrées, Cocktails, tasted great. Would definitely recommend. Only issue I had was the music, which was too loud but that wouldn't stop me from dining here.
