    Expresso martini. Sooo good
    Nisha B.

    Well, I'm not a smoker. Soon as I entered the back room - WHEWWWWWWWWW! lol the smoke was strooongggggggggggggggg. Wear clothes (and hair) you don't mind smelling like smoke. You certaintly do Not have to dress up here You can also bring in your own cigar/kits etc. I heard that Cigars at this location were pricey There are some reserved tables, but most you can sit at your own. TVs were on for the football games In-between games/commercials really good old school hip was hope playing Food: Friend loved the Salmon Sliders, came with an order of fries I had the Nachos. They were bland. Cold. I barely ate 1/4 of these Drinks: Espresso Martini was REALLY good. The sidecar was good, strong Metro: Take the Convention Center metro and walk about 2 mins to this place

    Located downtown Washington DC, has a walk in humidor full of several premium cigar brands, a lounge with comfortable chairs, tables and 3 large flat screens, a full bar and serves food. There is an outside enclosed seating area in the back also. TG is a female Blacked owned establishment opened in 2006. Keep up the good work Dawit, it was good to meet you

    My friend visited me and she's into Cigar and TG has great reviews so we decided to check it out. Please bring your grown and sexy with you because this place has it. The vibe is very classy, sophisticated and grown. There was a piano player...it doesn't get more elegant. She did a great job. My friend and I sat in big comfy leather chairs, off to the side, really just enjoying the vibe and atmosphere. Had a flight of Whiskey with our cigar to savor the full experience. Eventually we decided to order some food, some hot wings but I really was not a fan. The wings were cooked good but the sauce was not giving buffalo. Although, my hair smelled like cigar for days and I was not prepared but now I know. Overall, it was a great experience and I look forward to returning!

    Goodies galore!

    What a gem of a place near the conference center. Now, obviously, you need to be cool with smoking to enjoy this place. And while I'm not a smoker, I do enjoy cigars a few times a year. And now I've found my go-to spot to hit my craving. First, the selection is good. It's not the biggest collection I've seen, but they have all the hits and some fun brands. I didn't have a lighter or cutter on me, and they gladly cut and lit it up. But what makes this place special is its ambiance and the extras. Typically, a cigar store has a few epically smoky couches, some soda or bottled water, and Netflix or sports radio on in the background. You'll come home smelling like the cigars of people past. I'm not complaining (I've smoked happily many times in this kind of environment). But here, they have a long and luxurious bar with some top notch local and hard to find spirits and a decent beer selection. There are nice tables and seating that doesn't look like it's been through 1,000 cigars a bit away from the bar. Lots of TVs and a motivated wait staff. This is definitely a higher end experience for a reasonable price. I also found the regulars welcoming and talkative (which is definitely not usual at cigar bars). I had a great time smoking, chatting, and having a nightcap. I will definitely be back.

    This place has a very nice humidor. We ordered Old Fashioned, wings and fries. The server was very busy, but still got us our drinks quickly. They also serve hookah. Plenty of TVs and comfy seats. It's pricey, but we enjoyed it. Our second time visiting!

    This is the place to take a break from the daily grind. Directly adjacent to the DC Convention Center, parking is often a challenge. However, once inside, relax and enjoy the services. GREAT Humidor with a broad variety of cigars and a full bar that offers a full array of drinks to order. In addition to the cigars and bar, the wings are to die for. Overall, the space is small yet intimate. Crowd ebbs and flows. If and when in the DC area and looking for a spot to sit and relax, so yourself a favor and drop in.

    Favorite cigar lounge in DC! Upscale, classy, yet down to earth vibe! Great staff, awesome atmosphere, fine selection of cigars (Monte Cristo!), drinks, and the food is really grande! Nice to get off work and unwind here. Superiorly recommended!

    This nice little hidden gem was just what I needed to relax and have some downtime. Contrary to some of the reviews I read all the staff were very friendly and attentive. There is a nice selection of cigars in the front and the drinks were pretty good.

    Entry to establishment.

    I am updating my review from a year ago....I am giving 2 because they DO deserve some credit. Because up until yesterday August 19, 2023 I had not had a bad experience at this establishment. I was directed to this establishment by people that frequently spend time here. Like 3-4 days a week. I go to this specific cigar establishment when I visit family and friends in the DMV area. I have gone to Vitola 121, Petworth, Shelly's, and Casa de Monticristo. However this place was more convenient and a great central place to meet up. I spent Aug 16-20 in the area and went here 4 days consecutively. Spending on my card first 3 days then last day cash purchases to spend funds I had left over. Yesterday upon arrival at 7pm we were met with bad attitudes and rude behavior. This is immediately upon arrival. Eyes rolling. Sucking of teeth. Etc. There were 4 of us that arrived first, we ordered wine (2) and a round of water (4) from one waitress and paid in cash to a totally different waitress. The 2nd waitress asked did we want to see a menu we said "not at the moment". We were waiting for our 5th person who was a few minutes away. She lives in the area. Literally was there within 15 mins. We laughed and talked a minute. One person in the group was starving so she ordered the sliders and another water (paying in cash) and to preface this story this friend does NOT drink. Not wine. Not alcohol. Not soda. Only water. She ordered from one person and another brought it over and took the payment. As my friend and I prepared to walk towards the front the gentleman that manages the place (they call him B) came towards our table after hearing from waitresses that we were not spending money. He didn't see a tab in the system and the ladies were telling him no money was being spent. He said you have to spend at least $100 to have one of the larger seating areas with the more comfortable chairs. I had a convo with him about this. I broke down what had been ordered and paid for up to that point (with cash). My 2 glasses of wine were almost $40 (Sauvignon blanc). I believe they were $17 or $18 each. The other 2 glasses ordered by my cousin was about the same. Sliders...not sure because I hadn't looked at the menu at this point. But I'm sure it was at least $20. So u see where this is going? We were already at $100 paying in cash. And everyone had not ordered their dinner. I inquired was the issue we paid in cash? Or what? He cldnt really say. Only explained he didn't find a tab. Well u won't find one if we r paying in cash. So being the group that we are we backtracked and replayed things from the start. We all agreed that because we were women in a male dominated arena they wanted those seats for male customers that one waitress attempted to move us from the seats to give to them. She was met with a resounding NO. Last group of 8 men needed a table and they tried it again. With another NO. I was not leaving until I finished my cigar and wine which were paid for. My friend and cousins all left before me because of the rude and unprofessional behavior. I will never spend a dime in this place again. There are too many other options to give my money away......I refuse to pay someone to treat me in a manner that is not conducive to how I wish to be treated. I expect the pricing to be higher etc. because they are near the convention ctr and they can charge that and get that price. The stay open late which is awesome. But the staff needs better training on how to treat patrons. Side note: other foods ordered after the sliders were Thai chili wings, loaded mini baked potatoes, shrimp skewers and beef tips. We spent over $100.

    The vibe is fine. The staff is nice enough but there is a bad manager. He is overly arrogant and rude.

    I'm not a regular cigar smoker but occasionally, I enjoy a simple stick with my boyfriend. This…read moreplace was the perfect selection for our pre-game date night. My cigar of choice, Davidoff SIGNATURE AMBASSADRICE. This slim stick was pretty simple and easy for me to indulge in. Drink of choice, Black Cherry Manhattan. The dark sweet drink added a sexy twist to the experience and it was smooth. Guess what??? They have ladies night on Wednesday! Definitely going to try it out. No food sold here, just great cocktails. There are however, lots of restaurants nearby so that should not stop you from visiting. Staff were really friendly and made the experience great. The place is nicely organized and comfortable inside and there is an outside patio. No membership needed to experience the magic but they do offer great membership packages for anyone interested in joining. Overall, I will be back!

    Nice spot. One of the few remaining cigar bars left in DC…read more This spot is purely smoke, drink and go. They have decent restrooms if you need those, but it leans utilitarian. Functional even...and nope, unlike Shelly's or Ozio's or even 1865 - there's no food served here. Not even wings/fries. Hung with my brother and his pal. Had a long island and after about 1.5 hours, we bounced. Sorry for just the one pic, but I'd return. Service was polite/efficient and I parked next door in the garage. I could have parked on the street today because it's a holiday! Welp.:/

    What a time. I have been to Shelly's back room twice now and they never disappoint. The ambiance,…read morevibes and the staff are great. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the hostess. Once we got to our table our waiter explained the menu and the requirements for spending. Unfortunately, to sit down you have to spend a minimum of $30.00. So if you aren't into Cigars maybe this isn't your place to go but if you don't plan to partake. When we walked in we were immediately hit with the smell of smoke. I wish their ventilation was a little better. For food and drinks I ordered the wings and an old fashioned. The wings were a little burnt unfortunately but still edible. The old fashioned tasted amazing as I ordered it to be a little sweet and they did just that. So I was thrilled. For a cigar I ordered an acid blondie which has suggested by the waiter. It was sweet and wasn't too long or thick. It was very smooth. I think I found my favorite cigar. Our waiter was super attentive and made sure that my cigar was lit the entire time. Overall, it was a great experience. It was a very chill night with chill vibes. I will be back soon. Cheers!

    So disappointing to see they still sneak a 5% "admin fee" onto the bill…read more Today they closed early and required payment in cash because their point of sale system is down. They even turned off the TVs almost an hour early and started turning off the lights 30 minutes before the announced early closing time (5:30pm). Despite this utter admin failure, they still had the nerve to charge the 5% extra.
