When we visited Pittsburgh, Blend was as not planned and we were not even aware of this place! We happened to stumble upon this place when searching for back up plans. We arrived earlier in the evening and there might have been 2 other people in the entire place, which was awesome. We grabbed a couple seats and settled in. Within a minute, we were greeted and provided with menus. Right after, the manager/ owner came over, introduced himself, and offered some suggestions. I'm glad he did because he suggested a rum for hubs and an Irish whiskey for me and we each loved our selections. The cigars we chose were really smooth as well. I wound up purchasing a special edition Davidoff cigar for my father and some for hubs and I. We left to visit other places and wound up returning later in the same evening. It was now packed so we wound up in the corner of the bar. We were starving and ordered food. The service was not as good as earlier in the evening but everything was still good. I wish there was a location in FL because we would definitely frequent it.

I've been to cigar lounges all over the world and this is a unique and special place. The decor is quirky but cool - in a sort of unthought unintentional way. The people are great. Everyone in there from the staff to the regulars acted like they'd known me their whole lives. The cigar selection is great and the prices are so cheap you wonder how they're making money. Then the jewel in the crown - the sandwiches. Oh - my - gosh! Hands down the best pastrami sandwich I've had in my life! With a side of sliced pickles no less. It's a little off the beaten path if you're a tourist, but if you're in town - GO! Trust me! It's incredible!

This joint easily has the absolute best sandwich in the city and the ambiance is on point!read more

We came to Pittsburgh while they were hosting the D2 March Madness in 2026, and thanks to my…read morenephew's team bringing us out here, we were able to uncover this gem of a cigar lounge. I've been to quite a few cigar lounges--and even worked at one--so I have a good sense of what makes a place stand out. Burn by Rocky Patel did just that on every level. The ambiance, décor, cigar selection, and service were all top-tier. It's a classy lounge with a twist of sports bar energy, which made it both elevated and fun. We enjoyed it so much that we came back the next day, and they had live entertainment--a violinist playing along to hip hop and R&B--which created such a unique vibe. Kayla, the bartender, let us know about the live entertainment the day before, it wasn't posted on their social media or website. She was attentive, sweet, and made excellent drinks. Evan, who was working the cigar side, was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and communicated well with customers even during a heavy flow. One thing that really stood out was the crowd--mixed ages, mature, and plenty of ladies confidently partaking in the beautiful art of cigars, which I loved seeing. Even if you don't smoke cigars, the vibes in this place are worth the visit. If and when I return to Pittsburgh, this place is a must. It's also within walking distance to the stadiums, which is a huge plus. Feedback for management: The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the disconnect between locations and social media postings. There was an event listed on the website that wasn't actually happening at this location, while an amazing event that was happening wasn't shared online; which would have been a shame to miss. It may be worth considering in-house social media and website management to ensure updates are accurate and timely to the specific location.

I was excited to find a cigar bar downtown where I could hang out with a few friends after dinner…read more It's a great way to thin the crowd a bit. This place seemed inviting, however, the service was non-existent. It was actually kind of busy and the bar was full (not packed). Many of the sections were roped off so there was juts one table open near the front of the store. We sat there with no table service at all. They could have made some money from us but nope. Other than the guy at the front door who was just "find a seat" and not helpful at all, and the guy in the cigar shop, who was one of the few helpful people in assisting with the cigar purchase and cutting of the cigar. He offered to light it, but that's half the fun, so I declined. Apparently, the bartenders have lighters too but I couldn't find a place to sneak in and get the cigar lit and also buy a drink. Luckily, someone in my party had a lighter so I just used that and hung out. A drink would have been nice, but not necessary. After this place, we went to a few more bars in the area where they actually served their customers. What a novel idea, right?

The atmosphere alone is worth a visit. The drinks are definitely crafted with care and have a lot of complexity, but with only two bartenders working, it took quite a while to get ours. Not the place to go if you want quick service or are grabbing a drink before another event. My biggest downside is the price point--most cocktails are around $17. They're good, but at that price I can really only justify having one. Note: They do not have food, just snacks like peanuts. Overall, amazing ambiance and well-made drinks, just expect slower service and a higher bill.

In addition to indoor seating on the first and second floor, they also have a fenced in patio outside for sitting. As we sat outside, we saw groups of people who could not figure out how to get into the speakeasy. Another thing that happened was that they closed early the night that I went because of the lack of customers. A group was trying to come in as we were leaving but we told them they were closing for the night. So be aware of that, if you're planning to go late night (past 11 pm). However, the drinks were amazing as always! They now added a couple of small bites so we tried the cucumbers. They were delicious and packed with flavor! Our drinks were great as always. They have even more options than the last time I was there which was nice! I still really enjoy this little space!
