Great atmosphere and beautiful decor.

Beautiful place and friendly and fun atmosphere. Nice meeting Soloman the owner and Charlie Redd. Although think I was overcharged for our four drinks and a $10 cigar but it was worth it. The Manhattans were made in the rocks so if you want it up I suggest you tell the bartender. We had a great time talking and listening to the live band. We will be back from Orlando. I'll be checking the calendar for who's playing live.

I love this spot...period. Class...period. Atmosphere...period. Quality...period. My wife is from Lakeland so we are here a few times out of the year, and when we come I always make a point to visit the Lakeland loft and enjoy a cigar. I am a cigar connoisseur so I know what good and what's crap. This place it total class. So very surprising and refreshing for a small town like Lakeland. I came to town and was not expecting on having an opportunity to go, but I had some time and went by. I wasn't dressed for the occasion but the owner Solomon gave me a dinner jacket to wear (with my shorts and T-shirt) so I could come in. This guy is all class. I mean he wears cufflinks everyday! He knows his stuff too! Full cigar selection, private rooms, leather couches, balcony seating looking over downtown, full bar with a wine and bourbon cellar. You can't match this type of service! I had an exquisite Lancero house stick and a classic old fashioned. Heaven!

From the moment you walk in you are wrapped in a luxurious and stylish environment. The chandelier's twinkling, a piano awaiting a musician, comfortable leather sofa's and chairs, glowing fireplaces, views to the balcony overlooking downtown Lakeland are just a few of the things making this spot such a treat to visit. The servers are attentive and eager to assist. Solomon shows amazing hospitality and interaction with the guests. There is a terrific wine room, walk-in humidor, and a very large bar with a great selection of liquors to choose from. We heard live jazz music by Fred Cantù and some couples danced the night away. The drinks are reasonable priced and there are some cheese platters for nibbling on. We look forward to returning here.

A fancy boys club. My partner and I drove from tampa to check out this place since we both love jazz. While the aesthetics of this loft were tasteful, I can't say that to be the case with the service. We weren't necessarily greeted at the entrance, it's more of a walk-in and find a seat kind-of-place. Once we found seating we didn't see a waitress around so we thought to go to the bar. Upon arriving at the bar, the bartender was frustrated (to be fair she was the only person serving). We were told that there was a waitress so we decided to wait. After a while the waitress came to us and asked for our order without the menu, so it took a while to place an order. The cocktails were ok at best, nothing spectacular. Environment felt more of a boys clubs, not many ladies. It is a cigar place but we've been to many and the smell was simply overwhelming. The music was different than we expected since we called ahead to ask what they were playing that night (it was more of Jazz-ish with latin rhythms - not jazz). I really wanted to love it, I was so excited to visit but unfortunately it did not live up to the hype and the service left a lot to be desired.

I give this place a solid 5++++ out of 5. Love the speakeasy vibe, amazing cocktails, great space and best of all live jazz. One of my top places for date nights.

Southern Pier paired nicely with Above and Beyond!

The ambiance is second to none in the greater Tampa Bay Area and I have visited pretty much all of the cigar lounges within 40 miles!! Beautiful chandeliers, Jazz music both live and playing through the surround sound! Beautiful artwork displaying some of the greatest jazz and blues musicians of all time! A huge wine, liquor, and beer selection! Walk-in humidor, private rooms, great for a Saturday watching college football and private enough for a romantic night out!! The staff is super nice - Solomon and Saed have assembled a great staff - Out in downtown Lakeland and looking for a place to chill? Like cigars? Like elegance? Like wine? Like Spirits? Well, Lakeland Loft has it all!!!

This cigar lounge is located right on the edge of the park in downtown Lakeland. ( second floor). The atmosphere is nice, upscale , drink prices are great. Cigar selection is so so. Humidor is small. Live music every Friday and Saturday night. Charlie redd band was fun to watch. Private rooms available for rent.

My visit to Lakeland Loft was absolutely wonderful. The magic starts as soon as you go through the doors into a very pleasing and mood setting entrance greeted by soothing sounds. All this takes place before even entering the elevator up to the loft where we were immediately greeted by Solomon the owner. After a day of golfing it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. I highly recommend it

The cookies & crème & the pomegranate martini !

Their service is always amazing!! Me & my boyfriend come here at least once a month! Love trying new drinks off their menu! Favorite place & they're drinks are always on point and come out just as good!!

What is the dress code on Tuesdays?

Would a non-smoker enjoy this bar?

This is a tough question. I know plenty of non smokers that would love this place. I also know many that hate smoke and would have an aversion. The Loft spent some serious money on air handlers that do a great job. Unlike some places you do not… Read more
