First time in. I have to admit, I was a little hesitant because I've been to several Speakeasy's that weren't great. This one was fun from the minute we walked in. One of the owners let us in and gave us the history of the buildings and their opening. Really nice guy. That place has one of the best bartenders around. She was rocking several drinks at a time and didn't miss a beat. She was super nice and also provided info on the place. Good drinks, great pours and very good experience.

I was in town for a wedding and a friend of mine brought me to this little gem in Gardner. I was so impressed upon walking in with the telephone and code to get in. Then, the ambiance and decor were top notch. The owner approached us and gave me the history of the bar and literally the backdrop of the bar where all of the liquor was placed. He was really a cool guy and the vision is unreal. The drink menu has so much to offer. Do NOT sleep on The Forge. Get there and bring friends!

Grasshopper and an Old Fashion (it came in a Smokey cigar box)

See all

Great lounge with an excellent selection of cigars. Some selections you will be hard pressed to…read morefind other places. Welcoming atmosphere with friendly customers and staff. Stop by, sit down and enjoy a beverage of your choice with a premium cigar and stike up a conversation.

I'm a cigar aficionado and until recently I have avoided the local cigar shops, as they seem to be…read moreeither dirty or have the ambiance of a hipster hotel lobby. I've heard about this place, but I avoided it until recently, opting for either Omaha Cigar or Safari, both great Omaha establishments. I was content to smoke on my back patio by myself, but a good friend asked me to join him and I agreed. First off, it's a cool building with a lot of history. It used to be a garage, probably built in the 1910's or 20's, so very rustic. The owners put a lot of thought into it, from the specially made leather chairs, some huge, some diminutive so you don't have to feel like you're in one of those chairs at Silver Dollar City that everybody gets their picture taken in, to the special glass, HVAC, Humidor, etc... you can tell this was a labor of love. Secondly, the service is excellent! From the tobacco experts that will guide you through the humidor to the people who work in the 2 attached establishments. There is a speakeasy next-door, just pick up the phone at the front door, say "Joe sent me" and you are allowed into one of the finest drinking establishments in the 5 county metro, replete with all of your favorite beers and craft cocktails that are out of this world! Then, you have the Bellows, an outdoor, intimate music venue that sports 2 firepits, a stage, heaters for those cold nights, and plenty of seating. I was lucky enough to find out about an event that they were having with Toscano Cigars, where for a paltry sum we were treated to the history of that company, a package of cigars, cutters, lighters, and some great Italian food. Then we watched the full length version of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. It was an event to remember. After my 3rd visit, I realized that this is a family. People from all walks of life are regulars and they're all friendly. I think that their motto should be "Where everybody knows your brand
