Visited 7/12/2025 I recently visited Soho Cigar Bar, and overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The decor has that classic lounge feel. Almost felt like a gangster movie vibe without the violence obviously. This is only the second cigar lounge I've tried in Manhattan, and while I found the drink prices a bit on the high side, that's pretty standard for the area. The cigar selection definitely makes it worth a visit. That said, the service left a lot to be desired. It was difficult to flag down any of the servers, and when I looked over at the bar, it seemed like the staff were more focused on arguing with each other and hanging out than checking on tables. It just took away from what could have been a top-tier experience. Still, I'd come back again.. hopefully on a night when the team is more focused. The vibe alone makes it worth another shot.

Very cool laid back cigar bar. The atmosphere is very chilled and relaxed. You can take your cigars or purchase there. There is a cutting fee however it's waived if you spend ovr $XX. The drink selection is very impressive. I suggest ride sharing so you can try a few. I did a couple of whiskey flights and the pours was decent. The staff is nice and was somewhat on point. Being there on a Monday night football game could have kept them busy. Definitely would go back!

We went there to celebrate my friend birthday day and it was nothing short of a good time. Reservations was made for 11:30pm, running a little late we called to let them know and they accommodated us. Dim lighting, typical parlor aesthetic with comfy chairs and decor From the moment we walked in the hostess, bartenders and servers greeted us. We had Tamera as our table server and she was incredible, well informed on the cigars and what pairs well with them and how to smoke them. It's was a great time and we will definitely be back.

Even if you aren't a smoker this place has something for everyone. The ciders are very good and they do have a small appetizer menu. Now if you can eat and drink in a Smokey room then you will have non problems but this is the kind of atmosphere this is. We came on a Saturday evening and had about a 10 min wait but they were turning tables pretty quickly.

My first Cigar lounge experience. Very laid back. They have a great drink selection and great cigar options too! They have pairings on their menu to help people pick which is super helpful! They are open late and I never felt rushed at any point!

I am admittedly a Cigar fraud. I frequently smoke them, but I really don't know much about them when it comes down to it. Aside from the trite alpha male connotation, cigar culture has always fascinated me. Just a couple of people sitting around enjoying the moment, talking about anything and everything while enjoying a stogie. That's rad. Anyways, my buddy who does love cigars and knows I dabble sent me this place and it looked like an old school lounge so I decided to check it out. When I walk in, I am immediately struck as this is EXACTLY the vibe I want when I think of a Cigar lounge from the 1950's. I began scanning the place for Frank the Tank & the rest of the Rat Pack. The server, Ayla, greeted me and handed me a menu. After a few minutes of acting like I knew what I was reading, she approached me and asked what I would like. With my tail between my legs, I told her how I was a phony and needed some help deciding, but I wanted a cigar that would put me on my ass. With a beaming smile she responded "no problem" and began patiently explaining the menu to me like I was a 5 year old if a 5 year old could smoke. We decided on the Candela and it was just what I was looking for. Put me on my ass. GREAT CALL AYLA! I opted not to get a drink as I have been on a bit of a bender, even though that Gatsby's Downfall was looking at me crraaaazzyyyyyyy. I paired the cigar with a cup of black coffee. Exaltation. All in all, I sat there for about 2 and a half hours enjoying the cigar, reading a bit (yeah I'm cultured af), writing this review, and just taking in the atmosphere. The crowd in here was fascinating. I will be a regular here hehe.

Last night, my boyfriend and I stopped Into soho cigar bar ! I was nervous that it would be packed as it was after 9pm on a beautiful Saturday night.We were seated right away. The spot was buzzing with good energy. Our server was nice and knowledgeable. I was surprised they had Hennessy and coke lol Which is what I ordered. My boyfriend had the Kentucky lemonade but wasn't pleased. For my cigar, I had an acid blonde. I also had a groovy blue which was the best. My honey had the bijou cigar and it was full bodied. I took off a star because most cigar spots have torches to light up . We were given matches and an amateur Lighter. Fortunately, we had our heavy duty cigar torch so we were prepared. Despite that, I will definitely be back. It's a cool, diverse, and sexy vibe. The ventilation was also very good.

Speaks for itself!

I'm sharing this review while smoking the cigar that was carefully selected by the beautiful Nico and also brought out to me while sitting in traffic. If that isn't an exceptional service, I don't know what is. I would not recommend this gesture unless traffic was at a standstill, I wouldn't want to put any other staff in danger. I'm enjoying this cigar that was brought out to me and if I'm ever stuck in traffic like this again... I know they'll take care of me.

Great house cigars!!!

I found all of the staff to be very professional and attentive while very busy. The menu has a variety of small bite options, which was shared amongst the group. Everyone seemed to enjoy them, suggesting one another to try this or that. The bartenders/ mixologists were on their A game. The drink menu is pretty extensive and from what I could see, our party choices ranged from wines to whisky's and several options between. The rooftop/patio was an extension of the comfortable but trendy decor. Great space for an evening, date or friend gathering. Dear Irving... well done. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Tell the bartender what flavors and spirits you're in the mood for, and let them work their magic. I gravitated toward whisky-based, chocolate, and fruit-forward cocktails, and every single one was phenomenal. My husband stuck to Old Fashioned- and Manhattan-style drinks, and those delivered too. The bartender absolutely nailed our preferences, crafting delicious cocktails tailored to our individual tastes. Getting in is part of the experience: knock on the door, and they'll let you know if there's a spot available or add you to the waitlist. We visited on a weeknight around 8:30 PM and waited barely five minutes. I'll be coming back every single time I'm in NYC. Exceptional bartending, personalized cocktails, and an experience that genuinely lives up to the hype. Do not miss Attaboy!

As we were walking out, the host/person checking IDs at the front was incredibly kind and asked us if it was just the two of us because there was space upstairs (we didn't know that was an option!) I am so thankful to them because we were able to enjoy some of the best cocktails I've ever had. The staff was incredible - they checked in with us throughout the evening, explained the menu and gave excellent recommendations. We started with their old fashioned drinks (Lock and Key and the ash and molasses) - both were excellent. After that I tried the psycho killer (a whiskey drink with cacao nib campari, roasted banana and absinthe) - I have had absinthe in a Sazerac before, but this drink was unique and truly special. We couldn't help but get one more to share before leaving -- the Belfast Bred, a cold brew drink with a delicious cream on top. We didn't order food on this visit, but everything looked great. Highly recommend stopping here for some of the best cocktails you'll ever have.
