    Vodka and seltzer - not what I ordered - with no lemon or lime.
    Jen W.

    The reviews when the business first opened were great and I just haven't had a chance to stop in. The location is in a low slung building next to a pizza joint and you could easily drive past it without knowing it was there. First impression: it's stinky in there. It's a cigar bar, so the place smells like cigar smoke. On our visit the place was virtually empty and the bartender was watching a ball game on TV. There is a bell on the door to let staff know someone enters. We were greeted when we walked into the non-member room (on the right) and asked if we wanted to visit the humidor to select a cigar. We declined and ordered our drinks while I took in the room. There was a fan on the floor blowing - I suppose to circulate the air in the room, a few side chairs and a large TV. As it is a cigar bar, I am surprised there is no ventilation system designed to remove the excess smoke and associated smells installed. Based on the smell indoors, we decided sitting outside on the patio would be best. It was after noontime and the sun was low, but the temperature was nice.There is a view of the street and parking lot from the patio and a BBQ area behind, next to the pizza place. There is a variety of seating on the back patio, some soft cushioned, others metal and plastic. As I sat down the bartender and my companion came out with our drinks. The bartender was pleasant and asked if we needed anything else. Somehow I got the impression this was a quality establishment that brought things up a notch with nice glassware and leather seating. Not sure why I had that impression, but this is not what I was greeted with and may account for my disappointment in this establishment. I had ordered a Vodka Tonic, but what I got was not tonic water, but seltzer water and it was served in a very basic glass with no lemon or lime. Then, based on the fact that I ordered the alcohol I always order if available, I was surprised that the drink tasted like 'rotgut' not the upper shelf item I requested. When the bartender returned to see if we needed anything I explained my drink did not taste right and said I didn't want it. I was offered a new one, but really, you have one job, and you can't even get 'tonic' water right? Between my very basic drink order being made wrong, the alcohol leaving a terrible taste in my mouth and burning on the way down (I took two sips) and the stale cigar smell that clung to me, I just wanted to get out of there. I returned my unconsumed drink to the bar and was billed for it. Now I know I ordered a drink, and I understand that I should pay for what I ordered, but what I got is NOT what I ordered and I should not be responsible for the bartenders error. I am glad we finally got here. Now I know and can take it off my list of place to try. And don't worry, I went to the American Legion after and got the drink I wanted, so the day ended on a good note. :D

    Went there on a weekday afternoon after hearing some good things about it from friends. I met one of the owners as well as Tiffany, a bartender. The humidor was on the smaller side but had some great selections, in my opinion. I selected a Partagas as well as ordering an Old Fashioned. The cocktail was very well made using imported cherries and Jim Beam. Tiffany was left alone to tend to the business while the owner went about other things. She handled the whole place very well as more customers poured in. I had another cocktail and enjoyed my hour and a half there. It has an outdoor patio and there is a Taco place and pizza place in the same plaza. Their food is allowed in the cigar bar. Membership, if you choose, is $300 a year for individual or $800 for corporate which is three people. I'll be back.

    Started going to The Gentleman about 2 years ago. My husband and I became members the first chance we got. The staff is very pleasant and professional. The owner Paul says hello to everyone who is there with a handshake or hug. The weekly events are top notch. Indoor and outdoor seating. Great selection of cigars for men and woman.

    Cocktail menu is fire.

    This is my absolute favorite place to go to relax with good drinks, good smokes, and watch a few good hours go by. Service from the staff here is always top notch. They have a huge selection of cigars and the cigar host will greatly assist you with anything you need. If you are not sure what to smoke, just give a price point, and type of cigar (mild, medium, or full body) and they will give you several choices. (Also this place knows their cigars, so if you don't go to smoke- go here to pick out cigars as gifts). They have tons of space to sit and relax, a luxurious indoor area with spacious leather seating, which sets the tone for a calming ambience. Their bar is spectacular - filled to the ceiling with top shelf liquor. And a newly renovated patio with ceiling fans for the summer and heaters and fire pits for the winter. All this space is accompanied by mounted flat screens for your viewing pleasure. Private parties are fire with their guest DJs and killer sound system. I don't like smog or smoke but this place has a fantastic ventilation system, which makes for a laid back relaxing time. While I was there, the owner graciously checked on my party to make sure all our needs were met and taken care of. I can't tell you enough, customer service wins it every time for me no matter the place and here they exceeded my expectations! The staff is super aware of your needs- you will never have an empty glass, you will never notice trash of any sort- you look away and it's gone from the table. This place is ultra clean!!! Plenty of ample parking, located across the street with a cross walk right next to the building. Fantastic establishment- highly recommended. Best cigar lounge in RI hands down.

    Classy, comfortable and relaxing . They did this place right . They have a good selection of cigars , comfortable leather chairs and plenty of TV's to watch all your favorite sports . The staff and the owners who you will see here often, take pride in their service standards . They make sure you have a great time and try and cater to all your needs .

There are little details everywhere you look and it feels fun, warm and intentionally designed without trying too hard. It is such a great space for a gathering. The food was delicious. I tried the weekly deviled eggs, a selection of charcuterie and cheeses, and the whipped feta dip with fresh cut veggies. Everything was fresh, flavorful and perfect for grazing during a cocktail-style event. The winter cranberry spritz was basically all of my favorite flavors in one glass. So so good. Their cocktail and mocktail menu really shines and I cannot wait to go back and try more. As someone with food intolerances, I asked plenty of questions and everyone was friendly, patient and helpful with both menu guidance and cocktail suggestions. That always makes such a difference. There was even parking, which is a huge bonus. This is the perfect spot for a winter cocktail party or a fun night out. I will definitely be gathering my girls and heading back soon.

They do not have mixed drinks. I tried the Veal Parmesan and was very pleased with it. The veal was tender and it tasted like it was baked instead of fried.

We also tried a thin crust pizza with prosciutto and asked him to put buffalo mozzarella on it, which was a game changer. The pizza was excellent as well. Overall, we had a great experience and will return to try more of the unique menu.

The food is fantastic and far better than you would expect for a lounge. Primarily Italian food, the chef executes everything to perfection. They have a basic menu of appetizers, sandwiches and charcuterie,and every week the chef has a different entree menu with five or six items on it. The chef is so good, I am wondering why he isn't cooking for a big restaurant. Well, at least here he has control over the quality of the food. If you are in Rhode Island, stop by for a meal and a drink between 4 pm and 9 pm and thank me later.

Upon entrance is a doorman who is so friendly and accommodating! He found us an open table and checked on us throughout the night. The place was packed and they only had maybe 5 or 6 employees so the service was a little slow but understandable. I think the longest wait was about 20 minutes when we were waiting to get our initial drink order taken, but everything after that was fairly quick. For drinks I got a thin mint martini because they were out of the chocolate reuge martini I wanted. It was so yummy and came with 3 thin mint cookies. My mom got a pistachio martini and the Jefferson Tea. Both were pretty good but I wouldn't order again. My dad got Dead Mans Redemption which is good if you like bourbon. It comes with a wood topper and they light it on fire, let smoke fill in the drink, and then take the wood off. The drink then has notes of smoked wood in it which is cool. For food we got the crispy spring rolls and pepperoni flatbread. Both were so good!!!! It was absolutely worth the wait!!! I could eat the whole flatbread myself it was that good and I can't wait to go back and get another one. The crowd is definitely much older, not a lot of younger people around. It's a good date night for married couples. Overall it was a nice place and I would come back.

Be warned, it's on the more expensive side for dining and may be a coin toss for "is it worth it" for those that enjoy a night out but also looking for value. Food was a mixed bag for us.... Starting with the smashburger was genuinely disappointing as the burger itself was dry and advertised as a "French onion" smashburger that failed to deliver any of the rich, savory flavor we expected with a name like "French onion smashburger". The hot honey Mac and cheese was very good and flavorful... The hot being more of a vinegary heat than I expected but the cream sauce was rich. Speaking of value earlier.... Smashburger was $20 and the Mac and cheese was $28. Entrees were $10-15 more it seemed but previous reviews all spoke highly of the entrees and would want to try them if we visit again. The overall service experience was disappointing for us. Not for the demeanor of the staff but everything else... We had a decent size group of 8 (5 adults and 3 kids) and was fortunate to have a dining room to help the kids burn some energy while not bothering the other diners. However, from ordering to entrees to arrive was 45 very hungry minutes. It also took 20+ mins just to get drinks. Once the food arrived, they also were short two of the kids meals which was thankfully corrected quick. We then were somewhat "gently" being asked to wrap things up by 3 staff members in 10 mins making the rounds to clear plates and any to go containers. We all understand the business in the food industry and turning tables, and trust me, after an hour from arriving to food on the table we wanted to get home for bed time. However, really sours the experience and would not advocate going here with large groups.... Between the kitchen and staff I can't say you'd have a guaranteed good time.
