    First cigar.
    Matthew B.

    Now this was a great place to have a sit and smoke. I'm in Ohio for some work and was looking for a good cigar lounge and I found one. Leather seat, great cigar selection and best of all good conversation.

    La Chaveta has always been a nice place for me to go. It's very relaxing, the vibe inside is pretty mellow, and it allows me to decompress when I get the chance. LFD is a good choice if you like the Double Ligero, and I also tried a Stilwell Star Bayou #32. This is a newer cigar from Dunbarton &Trust. Steve Saka used what is traditional premium pipe tobacco and has 4 cigars in the line to showcase that, this one has some Virginia and Perique. Good selection in the humidor, and always helpful if you need suggestions or help with cigars and/or accessories

    This place is amazing. Great environment. If your a member there is a place to relax enjoy a cigar play pool and poker room. Such an easy vibe here. I'm considering membership.

    When I am away from home their is a few places I like to check out. Cigar bars are one of them. La Chaveta is nice place but I think it is cut out more for the regular than the visitor. Nothing wrong with that because returning business is how you make money. I was greeted with a smile from the individual behind the counter. With the Covid19 going around the amount of people allowed in the humidor was limited. I found the humidor small and limited in selection. They had a variety that would cater to everyone's taste. If I was looking for something unique or special it wasn't there when I went. The atmosphere was nice and easy. A place you could roll up and watch a game or just mobile office and have a smoke. The amenities for the members are excellent. Access to a pool tables, meeting rooms, and secluded areas. Enjoyed my cigar there and would go back again when in the area.

    Nice lounge, huge humidor but as previous post stated, many boxes don't have prices. They have a cool layout and members lounge as well.

    The owner took the time to introduce me to several freshly rolled cigars available that day.

    Selection is ok, smaller than I would have expected. The lounge is nice and big, I would definitely enjoy smoking a cigar here.

    It wasn't crowded when I was in there, but ventilation seemed great.

    I really, really, really love the drink menu of the Alibi. Like, a lot. Their visual chart is a…read moregodsend for cocktail explorers, and all of the drinks came out delicious and exactly as described. It's so creative, and the drinks are really the stellar stand out here. However, the atmosphere of those drinks is what gives me pause when thinking about coming back. The limited table situation, tiny cramped space, and loud music means that it doesn't feel particularly relaxing. People are constantly brushing up against you (even at 5PM), and holding a conversation at a normal distance is nearly impossible. NOTE: This place is covered in dust. No shade to the ownership as it doesn't appear to be anywhere near food prep areas (it's on the decor, on/around shelving, all over the faux plants, etc.), but if you're someone who's sensitive to dust, this is probably not a good fit. PROS: -I loooooooove how they've done their drink menu. As someone who is still exploring the potential of cocktails, their nerdy "chart" that places all of their drinks on a sweet/bitter and alcohol-forward/approachable visual chart is SUCH a help. As such, everything I ordered was absolutely amazing for me. I knew exactly what to expect from a drink because of its position on the chart, and it delivered. -Their drinks are really unique. Aqua faba? Fat washed alcohols? Lollipops or toasted marshmallows as garnishes? Super cool. Don't let some of the weirder descriptions creep you out of trying them. -All of their drinks were delicious. Everything I ordered was exactly as described. I often go places where the taste is barely related to its namesake, but they were entirely on-point here. CONS: -I'm not sure if someone called off that night as other reviewers are in love with the service, but our service was really really slow. No real rapport with the staff; just stating the name of a drink as they rushed past and then they were off to try to clean a table or take someone else's order. The drinks they made were great, but this isn't somewhere we'd go if we were in a hurry. -The pictures do not accurately convey how small this place is. Like, it's small. I'd guess less than 1000 square feet. My apartment is bigger by a lot. This isn't necessarily an issue, but it means people pile up quickly as they wait for seating (there's like 4/5 tables and then bar seating). The human walkways are small enough that the bartenders and other guests will brush against you a lot - even while seated. -I get the vibe they were going for here, but with the smaller space, I think a lot of the potential decor options had to "go" in order to fit more humans. It's giving me hardcore The Hearth Room (in Cincinnati) vibes, and I think it could honestly pull it off if it simply had more space. The "relaxed, sophisticated bourbon bar" doesn't quite come through as well when things are so focused on simply fitting in more bodies. -It's loud AF. Like, really, really loud. Between all the people and the blasting pop music, it required leaning into someone's ear in order to speak at normal volumes. We'd regularly have to pause the conversation if something in the music was building to a drop. This is not a place I'd take someone I wasn't very very comfortable with because it really requires being in someone's space to talk. -There's a single all-gender toilet here for everyone in the establishment. It's basically a revolving door of people in and out of it. The door auto-closes, however, so it's really difficult to figure out if it's open or not. There was usually a queue of people waiting in front of the door.

    I never leave Alibi disappointed. They always have such a creative menu with something for…read moreeveryone. It always amazes me how quickly they crank out such creative drinks. I'm sure some of them are batched, but they don't taste like they are. Service was excellent, as always. Endlessly knowledgeable. Small place, but never feels crowded even when full.
