Another red flag that I experienced is being charged $17.99 for a $16.99 cigar. When your markup is already %70 more than retail, there has to be a presumed customer benefit to coming here over others. Especially when you take selection into mind.

They also have their own parking lot which makes it a lot easier to get to.

Walking through those double glass doors, you can see the crazy inventory and supply of cigars they carry and wouldn't doubt if there's more in the back. It's a pretty wide and open space and there's some seating to smoke a cigar inside if you so desire. I went in needing to find some maduros for my dad as a gift and we were able to find a few at different price points so I could makeshift my own tasting box. The staff here is pretty straightforward and to the point which is nice. I had gotten some advice on cigars priced around $10 a piece, $25 a piece, and $45 a piece. Grabbed a few at each price point and knew that this gift would be a super solid one for my dad. After I inquired about the duration for transporting them on a flight, they came to the rescue with a mobile humidor packet to keep them in tip top shape. My time here had me feeling like I was back at my great grandpa's with all the tchotchkes one could possess. Towards the entrance was a large pile of cigar boxes that their inventory came in and they sell them as storage or gift boxes. Every box came from different makers and consisted of wood, tin, and everything in-between. With the help of a friend, she was able to help me find a Rocky Patel Box that was perfect. All in all - this is one spot worth checking out for sure!!

My serious clubbing years may be behind me, but my desire to dress up, dance, and stay out later than planned is still very much alive. Kells has the perfect mix of energy, character, and just the right amount of mischief. The comfort food is incredible too. It warms my Irish heart and brings back fond memories of family, tradition, and the kind of food that feels like home. Kells is lively without trying too hard, welcoming without being boring, and always a genuinely good time. After all these years, it still feels like an old friend. Bring back the Blazers Party bus

A beautiful historic building where I always feel welcome and at home, and it is amazing that the same magic carries over to their sister locations in Seattle and San Francisco too. I have watched this place go through so many changes over the years, but yesterday I have to give a shoutout to a special that was on the board. The Kells Nachos. I know what you are thinking, how good can nachos really be. But these are not your average nachos. The potato chips are hand sliced thin and fried up fresh, then piled with shredded cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, red onion, and sour cream. It sounds simple, and it is, but that simplicity is exactly why it works so well. Every bite was outstanding. If you have never been to Kells, do yourself a favor and go. And if that nachos special ever shows back up on the board, order it immediately. Don't forget that this is a pub so if you feel like you need something right away, don't forget to just walk to the bar and politely ask the Bartender.

Both delight me with their alluring fragrance. Both have one of the finest selections of cigars you'll find anywhere. Additionally, both have an extremely well appointed section of reading material both foreign and domestic. One last thing. If you need to wrap a small gift, consider buying one of the beautiful cigar boxes they have for sale, wrapping the box in a satin ribbon and voilà! Easy and elegant gift wrapping. 2017 - Review # 4

My companion and I had the absolute pleasure of visiting ME Ultra Lounge for the first time Saturday May 16th from about 4PM to 10PM or so. Dolph and his partner were extremely professional, efficient and polite. The service was outstanding. I own several hookah setups and this was the finest smoke I have ever experienced. I had the lemon mint and the staff's expert coal management (coconut charcoals--the best) was precise and allowed the shisha to toast evenly and completely with absolutely no effort on our part. Very kind to the lungs, too. Hookah had a perfect long handled mouthpiece with several one-use interchangeable inserts for multiple users as one prefers. Silicone hose, everything sanitary and in top condition. Great ventilation and atmosphere, nice mix of beats on the sound system which while lively was not intrusive and definitely stimulated conversation and relaxation at the same time. Great selection of flavors and drinks--we had lots of water and Gatorade to rehydrate and the prices were reasonable throughout. I had recently eaten but next time I will sample more of their goodies. Nice dim decor with a low-key disco vibe--lots of interactive lights with music--and plenty of space. We plan on hosting some small social gatherings here in the near future. Small wonder this place has been around over 10 years! Here's to many, many more.

Tonight I stumbled into the great deals they have on Thursdays ($5 well drinks, $ off of beer and wine). There's always something. They have board games you can sit and play. Indoor seating, a big outdoor patio with heaters to cut the chilled evenings and umbrellas to give shade. It was busy when we arrived around 7 tonight and stayed busy most of the time we were there. You order at the bar but they will bring your food to you when it's ready. Their menu is decent for a small place. Tonight was the first night I had ever eaten the food. Gluten free options are limited but I got the hot honey pizza on a gluten free crust. It. Was. Delicious. Life changing. I ate the whole thing. It was not a personal pan pizza. The combination of flavors...spicy and sweet and salty...one of the best things I have eaten recently. I might go back tomorrow. This is a local, independent, woman-owned business that makes you feel like you can stay a while and like you should come back again soon. They have discounts for military folks and a special section of their menu for dogs. Highly recommend.
