No dissapointment here. It is alot smaller store than the one near me and the selection isn't as deep but the young man working there was very friendly and helpful and the relaxed environment was great. I sat there smoking my Oliva robusto, watching the LAD vs SFG baseball game and chatted with a guy for thirty minutes. very cool little place in old downtown Placentia.

*The Best Cigar Lounge within an Hour to Disneyland*…read more My fam went back to Disney every night. I couldn't find a lounge Sunday or Monday. Then, Tuesday I found 8 Eighty Eight Cigar Lounge! What a great lounge. The parking lot it's in is the same you'd use for Cultura Tacos y Mas and Fuoco's! What a trifecta!!!!First, up front Robert (Bob, Bobby) is the best! Very knowledgeable able and top notch when interacting and delivering great customer service. Love they have Opus X's and the next two nights I went to town haha. They have 4 chairs in the front room and very well lit. Middle Room, Bar Room, is where McKenzie is throwing down! This is more that darker, club vibe. This has a lot of hightop seating and many TV's, not to mention a killer bar. Also awesome. She recommended a burrito place in the same parking lot and it was the best burrito I've ever had! The Third area is straight lounge chairs, music, digital jukebox and bathroom, with medium lighting. This lounge is very deceiving one would think it's very small if you go to the front but then you'll see if it's very large. Loved spending my time there both nights. *Overall, there aren't many lounges now down there, thank God this one's so good!*

We were looking for an open cigar lounge yesterday, January 1st 2026 right after the Rose Bowl with…read moreScreens to enjoy a cigar and watch some sports. Using Yelp, we located this hidden gem. I called to confirm they were open, but no one answered. after 30 secs I got a call back saying sorry I missed your call. I was speaking with Mario who I had the pleasure to meet shortly after. Walking in, there was a nice size humidor with high end, medium, low budget options. I picked a few shown in the attached pics. Both well aged and conditioned. Worth noting, It is rare to find a cigar lounge with a full bar in OC and in general in California. Only other two I've been to is one in San Diego and another in Danville. Vegas lounge vibes with dimmed lighting and multiple screens. The front cigar-bar lounge has ample high top chairs and tables. Easily can seat ~30 people. Every seat has a view of the screens which is great. High ceilings and very good air ventilation. The bar had great supply of everything, and service was great. The bourbon was reasonably priced but the Japanese scotch was way way over priced, ah well lesson learned, won't order those again. The second/rear lounge had larger leather couches and chairs with a few screens with less distractions for cigar enjoyment. Can seat another 20+ people. Overall I would rank 4.0 stars! one suggestion is for management o provide a menu with alcohol pricing instead of us needing to ask waiter each time what cost of a drink would be. I will definitely be back!

Want something mild with a creamy, alluring flavor? Covered. Something more medium bodied that pairs well with a cup of coffee and the latest Brad Thor thriller? Say no more. What about a powerhouse Nicaraguan puro that will blow your socks off with bold flavors? Look no further. Embassy has everything. From the always perfect classics like Fuente, Padron, Davidoff, etc to the newest heavy hitters making waves in the pages of CA, you'll find what you need here. If for some crazy reason they don't have it, rest assured the expert tobacconist behind the counter will steer you towards the flavor you seek. Yeah, I'm laying it on thick.

However, you don't always want to feel like you're trying too hard to change your scenery, bumping you too far out of your comfort zone. The answer my friends, is the good old classic American dive bar. Now, many places like to call themselves a dive bar just because they never clean a single inch of their establishment and have seedy patrons that love to play the more than occasional 80's songs on the jukebox but don't be mistaken, a good dive bar is hard to find. Well, I happen to have found one and it's in Fullerton of all places. That's right, Fullerton, not Los Angeles, nor Hollywood nor some pop-culturally over-hyped city. What makes The Blue Door a good dive bar? First, there's earned consistency & routine. The drinks won't always be made well, or the bartender won't always be attentive but if you come a few times, you'll soon know at what time and day the drinks are made properly by knowing the schedules of the bartenders. Secondly, the drinks are stiff, the service is friendly and nobody bothers you unless you bother them. The atmosphere goes from lively and loud to quiet and solitary, again depending upon when you visit. Lastly, they're open from 6:00AM-2:00AM. They're not just there when the hipsters are around, they're there for you whenever you make the bad decision of using alcohol as an anesthetic. Stay searching for the last remains of Americana my friends....

The proprietor, Brian, keeps a very clean shop with a fantastic selection of both affordable and high-end cigars, and also stocks some great accessories to choose from. Seating is ample and plush, with several unique indoor and outdoor seating areas, including a private member's lounge. The guys that smoke here are all great, with enjoyable conversation to be had always. I can't recommend this lounge highly enough!

I have never been to a bar this bad. 1st, they were not set…read moreup when they were open and so I walked in and it was empty, no one at the bar, eventually we sat down and I was dancing having a good time, then I got a margarita, I am 99% sure they put yellow Gatorade in their margs, it was not good. Then I got a white claw, this part is my mistake I guess but I didn't know , but I went to step outside for a moment to get some fresh air and security came outside and aggressively SNATCHED my white claw and threw it away, I was stunned. He ended up feeling bad because I cried because I'm sensitive lol and gave me a new white claw but that whole thing was just uncalled for and crazy - a simple "hey you can't have that outside either throw it away or come back in" would have done fine. THEN, and yall; I was a little lit but not drunk drunk, I was talking to the bar tender we were chopping it up and having a good talk then this girl who I said I hi to thought I was hitting on her and I told her I was married to a man and then I asked her "did you think I was hitting on you" she dismissed me but then apparently she told the bar tender that I did something because I was ASKED TO LEAVE - I have never in my life written a review for anywhere and I also have never EVER been escorted out of a bar at all let alone for no valid reason. I wish it went better because love dancing and it's a place to dance near my house but i definitely will never be back and would NOT reccomend this bar to anyone ever.
