Highly recommend!…read more This spot was the 2nd stop during a cigar crawl I organized. I can't with a group of 10 and we were treated like kings. Due to the weather and group size, we were setup on their back patio. And let me tell you - the layout, size and amenities of that outdoor space make this place a 10 out of 10. They have heat lamps out there so I want to return when it's colder to see if it's tolerable. The ability to smoke outdoors is huge because you won't smell like smoke all day. Also FYI - they sell coffee/tea/soda and it's BYOB. Another plus is their humidor. Havana has sticks that I haven't seen at other shops in that Chicagoland area. Not saying it's the biggest; I'm saying the offerings are top notch and they carry all the major brands Please note: the indoor lounge is better suited for smaller groups (or a solo smoke.) But if it's warm, and you have a big group, sit on their patio and catch a vibe.

After purchasing a cigar the price came to $24.83,I was told by the young lady I had to spend $25 in order to smoke in the establishment. Literally 17 cents!! Never again, I should've put the cigar back and left.

The lounge has three floors; the first has their humidor (which is decently stocked) and seating for those who aren't members and don't want to go upstairs. All you gotta do is buy a stick and you're set. The 2nd floor has seating for members or daypassers + their outdoor space. 3rd floor has the pool table and A free chairs. A pass to venture upstairs is $50 and worth it if you want an intimate setting. I'm a fan of this place. The ventilation is good, the lounge is aesthetically pleasing, and there's plenty of bathrooms. Anytime I'm in the West Loop and need a cigar, I'll head to Cut

He enjoyed it so much that he went back a second time before leaving town and again received exceptional service. I recently contacted Chuck by phone to place an order, and he had everything shipped out quickly.

Thank you, Chuck and Karma Cigars Bar for the outstanding customer service. We look forward to visiting again!

Shout out to my wife Davis Viv - She always makes sure no matter where we go, I can have a stick!…read moreShe's so bored right now, but it means more than she knows!! Chicago isn't one of my "top" cities for cigars, BUT, this spot has one of the better non-member areas I have seen. Like the rest, don't expect to have a good bourbon with your stick, and be prepared for the 45% tobacco tax! Nothing like a good ol Gatorade with your $39 cigar... it's not their fault just be mentally prepared! They have a decent selection, lots of Arturo Fuente, which I don't really buy anymore but very good sticks! The stick: 7/10 - Medium to full body - Started off super bitter, mid smoke needed a touch-up - Gets pretty simple towards the end - Lots of layers - I tasted pepper, coffee, dark chocolate, spice, and wood. -- at The Clayton Cigars.osbmakd

Man... I organized a…read morecigar crawl with several friends, and this was the last stop on the tour. For starters: the space is in pristine condition. They have a lounge area open to the general public (spacious and comfortable), and a private members section that is IMMACULATE. The members' area has multiple rooms and is one of the cooler layouts I've seen. The cigar selection isn't the biggest, but it gets the job done. What really sold me on this place was the service and ventilation. The manager was extremely attentive to my party; gave us a tour of the building and made us feel welcomed. Regarding the ventilation - it's one of the best systems in the Chicagoland area. Unless there are 50 people in there chain smoking, you won't leave drenched in cigar smoke. Big fan of this place; I heard they have new locations coming and I'll have to check those out once they're open.

The decor is warm and very inviting and the person working was super helpful. Was a little quiet on a Tuesday evening but the bartender says is really lively on the weekends. 10/10 would recommend.

It's unpretentious and at its best will resonate deep in your bones. You'll adopt the Dombrowski family as your own just as soon as they adopt you, because the whole clan acts like the outgoing, joking relatives you grew up with. Lunch is M-F 11a to 2p. They serve dinner on Wednesday and Friday night until 8p. You can go in any night for a beer and a shot of "Wolf Lake Elixir" at $2... $1.50 on a Sunday. Cash only, but there is an ATM. You walk in to a worn-in bar, taken from the original location at 81st and Exchange. A dining room is to the right with several tables. Families are welcome and always present. Nothing fancy, the home cooking is the star here. Out back there are picnic tables, bocci ball courts, and a sliver of Wolf Lake to enjoy. The dinner menu is heavy on fish and seafood: whitefish, perch, shrimp, frog legs, snapper, walleye, lobster, orange roughy, catfish, mahi mahi, crabcakes, fried clams, and basa. They filet all of it themselves. They also serve chicken, steaks, ribs, pork chops, sandwiches, and apps. I had the walleye and fried chicken. The walleye was lightly battered, the flavor of the fish coming through, and brushed with butter for some of the tastiest fried fish around. I haven't had fried chicken in years, but went back for seconds and thirds, it was great. Everything has a from-scratch feel to it. Rye bread from a local bakery is always available. The food is done simple and with care. Filled with regulars, don't be worried... they'll know if you're not from the neighborhood and take extra care to make you feel welcome. Club 81 has been in the family for over 60 years. We went with a huge group and was treated generously. Refer 4 people and get a free steak dinner... you bet I'll be going back!
