Really chill cigar bar. Friendly staff, good drinks and a decent humidor. Just what you need. Music not too loud and the game on the screens with captions. Liked it so much we ended up here twice over the weekend!

Of the 3 "Speakeasies" I visited tonight- this had the best drink. Georgia on My Mind was a perfect balance of strong and sweet. I would come back just for this drink. The bartenders were friendly and had our drinks out in minutes. If cigar smoke is t your thing ... this isn't your place.

I will keep this one brief. You want to get away from the cacophony of the Broadway? Like cigars? want a well made Manhattan or Old Fashioned, or another classic cocktail? This is your place. This is located a few blocks...uphill just off of 5th on Church? You can look it up, that night was hazy. This place has a nice chill vibe with large windows facing the street so you can people watch. Their walk in humidor, and an impressive array of cigars, with a wide range of prices, and along with that they have a cutting and lighting table for use, and more importantly, it is well ventilated. Cocktail wise - they have a decent curated inventory of decent bourbons. Watching the bartenders work their craft, you can see they were well trained, and were quite precise in their craft which I appreciated. This is a must stop for me when I go to Nashville. It is certainly worth the walk to hang out there for an hour or two.

Cigar bar & Lounge

Out of three Nashville downtown cigar Lounge's that I visited, Red Phone Booth, Casa de Montecristo Cigar Lounge and this place, the Ariston, is the winner. Although it's smaller, it's a classy cigar lounge, ventilation is good, clean and modern. If you want a vibe with more action and crowd, the others are good.

Stopped in on a quiet Sunday for an espresso martini. This is an upscale establishment that clearly understood the assignment. My martini was excellent, the ambiance is perfection, and obviously it smells like heaven. Will be making this a regular spot.

Great place to relax, have an adult beverage, and enjoy a cigar from their top notch selection.

This place has been on my list for a while. Came here with my sister and our friend before we went…read moreto an event. It's very cozy I. There, it was hard to find at first. You can find free parking, which is really good these days. We ordered fried, crab dip sliders, and oysters. Everything was really good! I definitely want to come back with my husband, it's a really cute and intimate spot. From the time we walked in, the staff was nice. I can't wait to come back. 10/10x

I'm surprised I didn't see this on the top reviews but I will share it -- MAKE A RESERVATION!…read more Okay - now that that's out of the way here is the good: 1 - If you're looking for a space in Nashville that makes incredible cocktails and where servers can help you go on a drink progression, this is your place. There are drinks that are refreshing/lighter and ones that are more spirit-centered. They also have small bites that are really excellent pairs to the drinks. 2 - It is very small. So if you feel like you'll land on a spot because someone popped in and just left, you might be out of luck. We were able to be seated because we came a little earlier, and I believe someone at the bar left earlier than anticipated. 3 - It's quite dark/moody. If you have a person who's weirded out by spaces like this, go somewhere else. If you can't read the menu in the darker/lower lit spaces, bring out your phone's flashlight. One thing that's GREAT about the menu is that they have it in contrasting colors (ie light paper and black ink) and the font is large. There was a spot that I went to recently where the lighting was very low and they used a dark tan font on manila colored paper. If the lighting was normal, it wouldn't have been a problem ... but in lower light, the lack of contrast was not helpful! 4 - The staff is really great. I know that I mentioned it before, but if you've ever been to places like The Aviary in Chicago or places like this, you'll feel that this is right in the same lane.
