    Nora is by far the best human on this planet. Not only do we love this spot because it's a "come as you are" type of vibe, very low-key and has a great lineup up various wines, beers, and seltzers groun around the world, but if you come here, you're family. There's nothing like this spot.

    Nora's is the real Orlando. This neighborhood gem not only is a relaxing hang out, a bottle shop for a great selection of beer and wine but it is hosted by Nora herself and she is absolutely delightful. Support local - go to your local dive bar.

    I have driven by Nora's so many times and thought this was just a walk in store. I walked over after having dinner at Santiago's Bodega (literally less than 1 min walk) and was shocked to find that this is a legit hangout. We walked thru the side gate and was greeted by one of the rescue dogs, immediate plus! =) Nora came out and knew we were newbies and greeted us to come in grab a beer and hangout. This is an actual house turned beer, wine and cigar shop in a home setting with sofa's and tables inside and out on the patio. She had my favorite Kentucky Bourbon Ale beer and we sat around and talked to Nora and the locals. I also wanted to buy a bottle of Cabernet and went into the wine room. She asked what I like to drink and handpicked the Hillside Juggernaut Cab which was exactly the type of wine I was looking for. We need more places like Nora's where you can kick back and relax and not spend a fortune while you're out. This is a humble spot that is celebrating 17 years soon. I will definitely be bringing friends here b/c this truly a special place that needs local support!

    Crushing our cans!

    Finally came in here after walking by it so many times. We literally walked into someone's living room when entering. Great selection of beer! After we were done with our beers, we went back to the kitchen and crushed our cans. Nora welcomed us and thanked us for coming. We'll definitely be back!!

    This place is cool as fuck. I don't know how else to describe it. We couldn't figure out how to get in, & once we made it past the gate, Nora greeted us with a "we already saw you, mother fuckers!" Mind you, this was our first time there. I asked if she was /the/ Nora, & she gave me a big hug. Different beers, different wines, different cigars. It's like a thrift store made homey. Lots of things to look at, even fun books on numerology & astrology. You have to come to Nora's yourself to really experience it, & you won't regret it.

    Best place I've ever been. Nora is an amazing person. Give the puppies love, tip well, let her choose your beer.

    Nora's is the spot for a Cold Brew after work, or even better on a Saturday afternoon with a chill low key vibe.

    Always my favorite bar in Ivanhoe. Very homey. Nora is awesome and makes this place grand. Lovely personality along with the drinks. If you are undecided, let her pick. We came here for a bridal shower. She gave us some great drinks for free. The crowd are mellow and lovely. It always seem like you are in someone's house. The dogs add personality.

    What an amazing spot. I used to live in Orlando, off of Virginia Ave actually. I hated Orlando as a teen and moved as far away as possible (Arizona). Anyways, I still have fam in the 407 so here I am back in the City Beautiful. If only I knew there were cool spots like this in Orlando before, I wouldn't have carried so much disdain. My boyfriend and I wandered into Nora's on a whim. On the outside, it looks like a bar, maybe someone's house. We walked in and were greeted by Nora. She's friendly and knows her beers. A great selection of craft beers. Looked like there was a cigar room as well if that is your thing. She has some friendly dogs as well. The vibe is laid back and welcoming. Could not recommend Nora's more. Have a couple beers here and then go across the street to the Thirsty Topher - you'll have a great time.

The place is very large with maybe 2/3 dedicated to cigars and the other 1/3 a sport bar type set-up with tables and a smallish bar to sit at. The two sides are, more or less, independently run. You pay for your cigars on the cigar side and pay for your drinks on the drink side. Fair enough. The cigar side has a massive amount of cigars to choose from - every brand is represented. Found my usual smoke and went to grab a cocktail to wash it down with. I grabbed a stool after the cigar side guys got me snipped and lit and ordered a cocktail from the two gals working back there. Drinks were well made and I ended up with two more before calling it a night. The place has a lot of tv's going with sports and there were a lot of high-top tables available if that is more your style. The only downside was that this place was just full of smoke- like way more than it should have been - those smoke eaters were not present at all. My clothes still smelled like cigar four days, and two washes later. Prices were fair and I had a good time outside of the smoke issue. Big parking lot in front.

We show up and I didn't have high expectations, given there's only 2 reviews and it's not fancy looking from the outside. And yet... We walk in and there's a group of men playing cards around a table. Then go to the back coffee shop area and meet a group of young men and they immediately welcome us and talk to us like old friends. I told them I had never had hookah before, but always wanted it. So they immediately started telling me all about it and asking me questions on what I like. During the education, not one, but two different guys offered up their hookahs for me to taste as they made recommendations and helped me decide on my flavor. I then went to the counter to order some food and noticed they had Turkish coffee. I LOVE Turkish coffee and they did not disappoint. They then mentioned and recommended Moroccan tea, which was exceptional. I was going to order a giro, which I love, but because it was Friday, they had some off menu items and highly recommended them. The men sitting around the tables said "order it! Im a foodie and you can only get that if you travel to Morocco." I ordered the chicken dish and HOLY COW it was incredible!!!! Seriously, some of the best tasting chicken I've EVER eaten. It came in a sauce made in heaven along with thinly sliced potatoes cooked to perfection and a bunch of green olives that had the best flavor ever (just be aware the pit is still in them). Everyone in the group ordered something different and all thought it was exceptional and everyone raved about the staff and experience. The staff was exceptional! Very pleasant, welcoming, professional, polite, always serving without bothering, making you feel like family and guest of honor. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

    I visited the Old Fashion Cigar shop Saturday 28-February-2026…read more This was my first time to this cigar shop. Visiting the area for two weeks. Google Cigar stores near me and this was the first on the list. I give it a 2 because of the billing experience. I would recommend people to visit. But pay attention to the billing process. The lack of a humidor = 1. The attentiveness to the customer = 5. Bathroom was clean and taken care of = 5. Seating was adequate = 3. It is a small cigar shop by footprint the main area has the cigars along the wall. A bathroom and a number of comfortable seating options. If one chooses there are tables outside to use. There is a bar area in a second room. It has bar stools for sitting. I was there mid afternoon not crowded. The owner Mr. G told me there is music in evening come the weekend. I would imagine this could become a tight place to be in. There is no humidor room for cigars. I shown a humidifier up in the ceiling area. But yet the door was open. Due to room size it would not be possible to setup a humidor room. That would give pause on how well cigars can hold up. I smoked two and one of them the wrapper started to show signs of coming apart. But was able to finish it. The team is very friendly. I was greeted when I came in. Was shown the cigar selections. Mr G the owner spent time chatting with me. Waitresses were attentive. I had a couple of Dark IPAs on tap. Good Pricing was to be expected ranging from $10 to $20. The downside to the experience was when I checked out 18% tip was added to the bill ($15.00) Yet on the bottom it has suggested tip from 18%, 20, 25%. So one is tipping on the beverages and beer. The tax is about 10.5%. In all my cigar shop visits I have never paid a tip on cigars. The beers were $5.95 each. I know that someone took time to show me the selection but others shop do as well. If i do visit again I would pay for the cigars upon purchase. Let the bar bill be a seperate charge. At this point when I tip I do it in cash and keep it to 10% to 15% and if exceptional 20%. The beers were expensive based on the tip. I am sure there is rationale to the why but this one took away from the whole experience. I supposed I could have push back but just let it be as a learning experience. The last point is when I went to sign off it was suggested by the staff and machine I could add an additional tip amount. I declined.
