Classy ambiance, perfect porch vibes, and a steak that steals the show. I stopped into The Cigar Cellar in Kennesaw and was immediately impressed. The ambiance is very classy--warm lighting, upscale decor, and a layout that invites you to relax and stay a while. They've got a great front porch setup for enjoying a smoke outdoors, plus a comfortable seating area inside and a well-designed bar that feels both elegant and approachable. I chose a Casa Fuente cigar, expertly recommended by Chris, the resident cigar sommelier. He knows the humidor inside and out. Paired it with a Maker's Mark Old Fashioned, crafted by Bezi, who was not only skilled but super friendly and welcoming. Talked sports with some locals--Tampa Bay teams, cigars, and whiskey. The crowd was relaxed and conversational, which made the experience even better. But the standout? The steak. I ordered the ribeye after my cigar, and it was incredible. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and served with crisp broccolini and parmesan-dusted house chips. Honestly, this meal would rival a dedicated steakhouse. Highlights: Elegant front porch for outdoor smoking Classy, cozy lounge and bar interior Outstanding cigar and drink selection Staff who truly know their craft (shoutout to Chris & Bezi) Full dinner menu--do not skip the ribeye Clean, well-ventilated, and welcoming If you're in the Kennesaw area and enjoy cigars, bourbon, and great conversation in a high-end setting--this is your spot. read more

Came here on a Friday night with a friend to get a crafted cocktail and this place did not disappoint. It is located in a plaza so there is plenty of free parking. There was live music with a singer and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The establishment was nicely decorated and was giving speakeasy vibes. I ordered the lemon pepper wings and fries. The wings were smoked and really good. My friend had the shrimp platter and had no complaints. We sat at the bar and ordered the French kiss and lemon drop cocktails. They were made to perfection and the presentation was very nice. Definitely plan to return. read more

It was our first time there, and it was great. Super food, excellent staff, and great live jazz! Highly recommend. Thanks to Warren, Megan, and Kendall for taking such good care of us! read more

If you are a serious brother of the leaf, this is not the place for you. If you like pomposity, "do you have a reservation" kind of place by all means go here and pay inflated prices on the smallest humidor of any lounge I've been to. I've smoked all over the US, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Europe. 2 people and you can't move. The door is locked, so cigars aren't stollen. We'll get better clientele. Did not have any cigars worth buying, maybe the Aroma de Cuba. But I can get better prices at other shops. People dressed nice, think sports coats and slacks. Bar guy probably knew his business. But I left. Will not come back. 2 stars because the attendant was very nice. And was not pushy. read more

This place is great they have some bike meets and some car meets and the drinks and food is amazing. Oh and I have had a coffee here also and its better than most coffee shops!!! read more

The service is fantastic! Great atmosphere with good ventilation system. The food was unusually tasty.

We had reservations - for 4. Not only did we enjoy ourselves, the atmosphere was phenomenal! Our waitress - Amelia. She was knowledgeable and extremely fun. We all shared a few drinks & food. Calamari. Elote. Roasted Brussels. Truffle fries (delish! We ordered 4 of those bad boys)! Short rib & herb gnocchi. New Orleans Shrimp. Scallops. 2 bottles of wine. Old The tobacconist - Michael, assisted the guys figuring out which cigar(s) they wanted. Only downfall is quantity to cost. Food was great, however felt like we were all eating appetizers. read more

Nice atmosphere but prices are crazy. It's Kennesaw, not Buckhead. Small humidor that only fits two people. Nice bar set up but man, your prices are obscene. Service is inconsistent and at times it's almost like ya'll just don't appreciate those who spend money with you. Don't get used to the staff, they change very frequently. read more

Not your average cigar store experience. If you want huge variety of cheap sticks and gym shorts, and a Smokey atmosphere, stay away. If you want to mix your appreciation of finer things in your life, like great food, exceptional service, classy ambience, great music, technical ventilation, the finest spirits, and top it off with ONLY limited premium cigar choices, with a cut and light service for every customer, then by all means - this is your kind of happy place. read more

The food is good, the aesthetics are nice, and the occasional live music creates a chill vibe. That said, the only reason I will seldomly, if at all, go back is because it's a short drive from where I live. The high pressure sales by the wait staff to continue buying drinks, or shop the humidor, interrupts what would be a good experience. It's annoying. Not to mention, the drink pours are very light for what they charge, seems like 1 ounce shots. If they could ease up a bit on the pestering, and pour normal drink amounts, this would be a great relaxing place to enjoy a cigar. read more

This place wasn't what I expected at all lol. But yes it's actually a whole cigar smoking "restaurant"/ bar. Not even sure lol. But this place is not for people who don't like the smell of cigars. Unless you sit outside, but you get a whiff every now and then. *This place had the potential to be so good if the food was more hot. The plates weren't hot, the food wasn't hot, I would say it was warm almost to cold. But the food had SO MUCH flavor. And everything looked amazing! *unfortunately the food also was very chewy. It was hard to swallow for me besides the shrimp and asparagus. I don't think I would come back again unless everything was more tender because it has the potential for sure! Definitely a new experience though! Not covid friendly read more

Offers an unparalleled experience for aficionados seeking both premium cigars and exquisite culinary delights. Stepping into this refined establishment, patrons are greeted by an ambiance that seamlessly blends sophistication with warmth! The live music is classy and the FOOD. I was expecting tapas but I would argue best dining in Kennesaw. Under the expert guidance of their talented chef, the menu boasts a tantalizing array of dishes that elevate the dining experience to new heights. One standout feature is the chef's ingenious twist on traditional fare. The French fries, often considered a simple accompaniment, are transformed into culinary masterpieces with dynamic flavors that leave taste buds tingling with delight. Each bite is a symphony of textures and seasonings, showcasing the chef's dedication to culinary innovation. Additionally, the brussel sprouts, a dish often overlooked, surprise diners with an unexpected hint of citrus that adds a refreshing twist. This attention to detail and commitment to infusing every dish with layers of flavor sets them as a culinary destination. Pasta dish was incredible loved with the pinot noir slight spice to it. I am not a smoker and generally whine when my husband wants to have a cigar but the food atmosphere music was so delightful I just enjoyed. Complementing the exceptional cuisine is a meticulously curated drink menu. From expertly crafted cocktails to a thoughtfully selected wine list, every libation is designed to enhance the dining experience and elevate the enjoyment of premium cigars. read more

I've enjoyed The Cigar Cellar four times in the past month--both with friends and on my own. Each visit has made me feel right at home while still offering an atmosphere of class and respect. I came in with a lot of questions about cigars, bourbon, and general etiquette, and every staff member answered with patience and professionalism. On top of that, the food is top-notch. This place gets it right! read more

I was gonna leave a $20 tip (my bill was $45 dollars) but they didn't give me my change left over from a $50 without asking so now the server only got $5.50 tip. I'm not sure if they thought I wasn't gonna leave a tip or not but I did not like that at all. I'm a wealthy person but I think they was profiling me lol wild !! read more

Upon trying to find good food selection in this area, this seemed to be the best place to. I wasn't fond of the cigars but I was told that the time I was arriving, would not be busy at all and there is a room off to the side where my work meeting could take place. I arrive and this place is tiny. It's very nice but tiny so I ask for the private room and it ends up not being private at all. Lounge bucket style seats and not fit for a work meeting and eating with a group of people. We already have a cigar smoker doing his thing, no complaints of course but the guy who helped on the phone should never make these type of promises that were ridiculous. Anyways, we grabbed the only high top available and made it work. Overall this place is fantastic for a mid day lounge break with friends and most certainly the spot to go to in the evening with live music. The server was really helpful the entire time and checked on us a lot. Actually everyone ended up checking on us. The food was great. I had the Cuban sandwich and this was definitely the best I've ever had. The outside was crispy from it being pan fried. So so good! The coffee and milk was on the strong side but no biggie. I'm looking forward to come back to enjoy some jazz or live music and this is definitely the place to go. read more

Came here to bring hubby for an early Father's Day celebration as he enjoys cigars. We had a reservation but we walked in with no wait as it was a Friday at 12N. Let me say the ambiance and vibe is spot on. We sat outside but I would've loved to sit inside except I have a work event later and didn't want to smell like smoke. We sat on the patio which still was very nice and inviting. We weren't very impressed with the service. Not sure if it's where we were sitting or what, but our server was gone for at least 10 minutes before we placed our order which was disappointing (read:we didn't eat breakfast so we were hangry). She mentioned she'd give us some to look at the menu as we weren't 100% ready, but we didn't expect her to be gone for 10 minutes. Our food took about 25 minutes to come out and no one came to say anything to us at all during that time. There was a table nearby and we noticed our server and restaurant management stopped to chat with them frequently. My husband mentioned that even if a manager or our server would've came to simply say "hey your food will be out soon," that would've helped. The food was really great! We enjoyed everything we ordered. I was expecting to spend at least $100+ as my husband was going to get a cigar and a drink. Unfortunately by the time the food came, we were just ready to go. Why 4 stars? Because I called and spoke to the GM afterwards and she was extremely understanding. And, although it didn't meet our expectations, I think this was an isolated event and that they probably are a very great place. I could hear the ladies behind me talking about how much they love coming. Honestly, we'll probably try and come back. read more

I really loved this place. The food was all really yummy. Everything was really tasty. Also, the service was really friendly. We went on a Friday night and sat on the patio because, ya know, it's a pandemic. The patio is well heated with a fire pit and heaters. The fire pit, although small, was really toasty. We were warm even on a cold night. I will say that inside it was packed even during Covid. I wouldn't have been comfortable sitting inside. They even had live music to attract a crowd. The bathrooms are nice and clean. The whole vibe is cool. The only weird thing is this place is in a shopping center that doesn't match its vibe. Oh well. The only real negative I can say is the drinks here are weak. They are tasty but not at all strong. I had 4 drinks and still felt comfortable driving home. That means nothing to you guys, but normally I can't drive after more than 2. Husband got a cigar that he really liked. Overall, totally worth a stop in. read more

We have lived in the area for 3 years and for some reason our first time going to The Cigar Cellar was on a recent Thursday evening. This unsuspecting gem is located off of Cobb Parkway in a shopping center containing the Good Will. When we first walked in we were greeted by an amicable staff. We did not have reservations but fortunately they had tables available, we opted to sit at the inside bar. They have a small patio and on nice days the outside bar and patio are uncovered. The ambiance was intimate and classy. Neither myself nor my husband smoke cigars but everyone else seemed to be satisfied smoking their Cigar of choice. The drinks were excellent, I had the Midnight in Paris, which was a well crafted gin drink My husband had the Cellar Signature Smoked Old Fashioned, it was one of if not the best presentation of a smoked Old Fashioned I've ever seen. There was live music that went well with the ambiance. Our very friendly bartender explained that the Chef's fish menu changes weekly and this particular night the featured item was the Watermelon Sashimi. We both ordered the featured item which was surprisingly tasty and tasted nothing like watermelon. We shared the calamari appetizer, it was prepared well, crispy and had a pleasant flavor. The menu is a Tapas menu so plates were small. As an entrée my husband had the jerk chicken, it was spicy and flavorful. I had the Louisiana BBQ Shrimp, which was ok, I'm not a fan of gulf shrimp but the flavors were all on point. Overall we had an awesome experience at The Cigar Cellar. The customer service here is outstanding, the entire staff is friendly and helpful. Whether you are a Cigar smoker or just looking for a classy spot to have a few drinks and delicious food then this is a must try. read more

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would! My husband and I just left and I thoroughly enjoyed it! It's the perfect size and also includes outdoor seating and bar. The ambiance is amazing! There was live music as well. The service was probably some of the best service I've ever received. All of the staff was incredibly nice, knowledgeable and attentive. Our drinks were always full and we were always taken care of. Bezi was our server and she was so incredibly kind and informative! She even threw in a complementary dessert since it was our first time there. My husband also purchased a couple of cigars for us and Mike the cigar sever/attendant was very knowledgeable about all of the cigars and had suggestions for a newbie like myself. The food was also delicious! We will definitely make this place a regular spot! read more

Inconsistencies with the bill, felt like rules were imposed on my group at random. First the were a 'no hats,' rule that was enacted. Then it was only past a certain time even though other patrons were clearly wearing their hat with no issues right up at the bar. We came a few times before with minimal issues but this last time they charged a 'cutting fee,' though we spent a pretty penny on everything else. This wouldn't have been an issue had they told us that the first time, and actually cut our cigars. After a long day of work, the goal is to find a nice establishment to relax in. Sadly, with the high hopes I had for this place, my group and I were let down. I just hope it wasn't because more of us were minorities in the group. read more

This place is so amazing. The ambiance is perfect. It's quaint and super laid back. There are leather chairs for comfort and round tables for your cigars and drinks. The staff is always super friendly. Hanna normally greets you at the door and she is the best! She is super accomodating even if there is little room available. On our last visit we had Amelia as a server and she was extremely friendly and also very accommodating. They sell cigars if you don't have your own and the drinks are really good. There's also a live band on certain days. I'd check the website for updates. There's more than enough parking so that's not an issue. Also there is a covered patio if you'd like to sit outside. When you go, make sure you make reservations!! That way you won't miss out on the experience. read more

I needed a local place to do an upscale event for an employee that was retiring after 34 years. He is a bourbon and cigar enthusiast and this place hit every mark perfectly. Bezzi took suck good care of all of us. We were a party of 15, we had a private back room with our own entrance and bathroom. We were offered a great whiskey selection, the food was great and a good time was had by all. Thank you Bezzi and The Cigar Cellar staff for making a send off to a good friend and colleague so memorable. Cheap? No but absolutely priceless. read more

Great experience. Warren was our waiter. Really appreciated his service and conversation. He suggested our group try the shrimp scampi. Boy was it good. Chef Jeff did his thing. We coming back. And met the GM Jeremy. Told him how much we appreciated Warren's service, the food and atmosphere. Jeremy was wonderful to talk with and told us abt the history of Cigar Cellar. I'm telling our buddies to meet us there soon. It's going to be our spot. Highly suggest others to experience their food and service while enjoying a cigar and drinks. Steve. Steven Yates read more

We decide to try the Cigar Cellar for dinner on Saturday night. We made the decision because both of us had read great reviews about the food. We also wanted to check it out because my brother is a cigar aficionado. My wife was apprehensive about smelling cigar smoke. They told us they have a superior ventilation system and we decided to try it. Long story short, you can smell a hint of the cigars but the ventilation system works well and we didn't notice the cigar odor after about 5 minutes in the lounge. Our server was awesome. She was courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. She was attentive when my water glass ran low and her descriptions of the menu and adult beverages. The food was as good as the reviews we read. My wife had the CellarCuban sandwich and I had the Bison short rib & herb Gnocci. We shared the Truffle fries. Everything was served hot and was full of flavor. The only complaint I have is that the fries could have used more truffle oil for that rich and delectable truffle oil taste. I won a free cigar by knowing the answer to a musical trivia contest. The owners were very generous with the prizes they offered as a result of knowing the name of a musical artist from the 70's. Thank you! In summary, from the owners to the managers to the servers, everybody was extremely friendly. The food was great and the experience was a solid 10 on a 10 scale. Try it, you'll like it. read more

Been here about six times now. Food is crazy good. I have had everything from the burgers to the octopus. And everything blew me away. Drinks are nicely made. And I like the fact they will ask you if you have a liquor preference for their signature drinks. Of course you can get it the way they suggest. The humidor is small but has a ton of choices. Definitely make reservations if you are going on a Friday or Saturday night. And enjoy the live music. read more

First time here, visiting from LA. Great vibes, great cigar collection pairs with the right lounge music. Jeramy and Tim were genuine and very kind. They helped me pick a cigar and paired it with a the right whisky. Top all that with truly great quality food. The bacon wrapped dates were just YUM. Charcuterie + Cheese with home made beef jerky are a must. Perfect place to unwind. I sure will come back when I'm in town again. PS: Complements to the chef read more

I didn't even get to go in this place because I was harassed by the staff across the parking lot from the staff after stopping by from caffine and octane car show. We were ushered off the premises from how I felt of discrimination. A gentlemen holding a cigar approached me asking about alcohol and I told him I'd share my personal consumption alcohol with him. Then he told me I was stealing the company's business. After being polite and respectful to the cigar holding staff I was bullied off the other ode of the parking lot. Maybe it's because I didnt have a Lamborghini or McLaren... either way. I wouldn't recommend this place as the man describing himself as the manager was extremely impolite and obnoxious. I'm curious of the reason of insecurities of this establishment from the other side of the parking lot... literally next to the highway. If some men with a trailer and speakers take away from your business or money... perhaps you ar lacking in delivering a desirable experience for your customers and you made me feel that you are self conscious on that. read more

To start, I lived in Europe for ten years and have yet to experience an ambiance as divine as The Cigar Cellars... We walked in and were quickly greeted by warm faces. Their exquisite selection of entertainment that night included The Burbon Brothers. The music was terrific, and the food was spectacular, bringing back childhood memories of living in Europe. However, the most beautiful part of the evening was when my Fiance got down on one knee and proposed to me. From the hostesses to the bartenders and servers, everyone made us feel so special and loved. It is hard to find a unique restaurant in Atlanta, and we are happy that we got to spend our special night at THE best place in Georgia. This is a story to share with our future children and grandchildren for years to come. We cannot thank the staff enough for welcoming us and curating an "experience," not just an average night. read more

I first time here for a dinner and music. What a great place. Great bar, food and music. Will definitely be back.

Every trip we take to Las Vegas, we always end up spending most of our evenings at the Montecristo Cigar Bar at Caesars' Palace. It's an excellent place that always leaves us saying, " if only we could take this place and bring it back home with us, we'd be content." Well, now, we no longer need to say this. Because of Montecristo and our countless experiences there, all being wonderful of course, we had exceptionally high expectations for The Cigar Cellar, yet when we arrived this past week to try it for the first time, The Cigar Cellar still managed to exceed them all. Upon entering, we were greeted by an extremely friendly staff and told that we could sit anywhere we liked. The ambience of the place is perfect. It honestly, feels like a Las Vegas strip establishment, meaning it's the kind of place where you know that you are going to have a good time. We ordered the chef's Charcuterie Selection, the Crab Beignet, the Coulette Steak, the Pork Belly Cuban, and the Scallops. Christina, one of our many servers for the evening (our personal favorite, but all were fantastic and attentive), also surprised us with a plate of the Grilled Spanish Octopus. All were beyond excellent. Understand that this is not typical State of Georgia bar food. This was a gourmet experience with a nice eclectic flair. It was truly amazing. For our cocktails we had the Smoked Old Fashions (a can't miss) and the Sazerac in Heaven. Both were good representations of the cocktails they are. We might have poured them slightly stronger than they came, but this is just a personal preference and not a complaint as the strength was quite standard. I personally smoked two cigars throughout my four+ hours spent relaxing there (Liga Privada #9 and Rocky Patel Decade Box-pressed). Both as excellent as the food and drinks. The humidor has a great selection and the tobacconist who guides you through the tour was very open to obtaining personal favorites for future visits. All in all, this was a 5 star complete-night-out-experience that will keep us coming back again and again. read more

Very classy decor but comfortable and not stuffy. Ultra professional and attentive staff - 99% of places in US could take lessons from this crew. Modest cigar selection but well-curated. Very high quality air filtration. This place is fine for all non-smokers except the most sensitive. Yes, it is OK to bring your wife/girlfriend! Can't speak to the food but cocktails and back bar selection is also nicely curated. A regular stop when I am in town. read more

Great place to come for different types of occasions. I've now visited the Cigar cellar thrice; once solo to have a cigar while finishing the work day, once on a date night to have some drinks food and a cigar, and another time with a friend to watch some sports with a cigar and drink. The staff are welcoming, fun and engaging. This is not a cliquish spot like many cigar lounges and small bars tend to be. There is also some diversity in the patronage so this is a place where anyone should feel welcome and comfortable. The establishment is well appointed and comfortable whether you are lounging privately at a small table with leather lounger, high top, on the patio or with a group at the bar. The amount of smoke in the room will depend on the number of patrons having a cigar as well as your tolerance for smoke. This is subjective and I would rate the smokiness slightly better than most places I have been to around the country. Out on the patio you won't hardly notice the smoke at all if you are sensitive. There may be a little room for improvement on the inside if I were picky; but I am not and from a frequent cigar smoker and cigar lounge frequenter, I find the atmosphere to be non bothersome and mostly unnoticeable. In the evenings on the weekend there is live music which is typically classy, low key and enjoyable. The background music when there is no live music is also classy and great background, not overbearing. Overall the atmosphere and ambience make it a great place to either relax and unwind or engage and converse. The bar selection is fairly broad, especially if you enjoy a nice bourbon or whiskey but the cocktails are also aplenty. There's also espresso if you find that your fancy with a stick and they do stock non-alcoholic Heineken zero . Drink prices are on the higher side of normal. The cigar selection is on the small side. There are a few staples in there but you will not be overwhelmed by the selection. Don't get me wrong, there are some good sticks but this area could be improved buy adding a few more boutique brands, a few more moderate priced classic staples and some different sizes or vitolas. You will find a few Padron, Fuente, Perdomo, Tatuaje, Southern Draw, Oliva, some flavored stuff, maybe a RP, a Davidoff, and some other odds and ends. Cigar prices are a tad higher than average but not deal breakers , eg. a $10 stick runs around $13 - $14. I almost forgot to mention the food and I certainly should not forget to mention it. Everything that we have had here has been absolutely outstanding. The calamari was great with a nice spicy kick and an excellent dish to accompany a cigar. The shrimp tacos with citrus zest and avocado were as Amelia stated, "FREAKING awesome". The sliders have a sauce on them that will have you coming back for more and the short rib and mash were divine. The food is way above bar or lounge food and maybe the biggest surprise. Seriously, the food is amazing and the main reason why I will have no issues getting friends that don't smoke cigars to come back and join me. If you don't smoke but like a good drink and great food, music and atmosphere you will absolutely enjoy your time here. #hiddenGem read more
