We had been drinking beer, so I stuck to beer except for an old fashioned (which was excellent and used Buffalo Trace). They also have an awesome selection of draft beers. I had a Live Oak Hefeweizen which was excellent. Service was excellent both at the restaurant and the attached pizza area. Since we had been drinking a while, we decided to have pizza at the shop attached to the bar. They have a nice pizza oven and this was excellent. I forget the name, but it has a nice thin crust with great cheese and topped with sausage and mushrooms. It really hit the spot Definitely worth a visit, distinct from many of the other bars around.

I'm not often as impressed as I am by Rough Draught. Awesome, awesome selection. Good people who enjoy talking whiskey. The interior and decoration and walls - it all just GOES. It's perfect. Sadly they were out of a key ingredient or two to make pizza when we were there - during Thanksgiving week, so... not "normal" timing - so we sadly could not try their pizza. But we enjoyed multiple great pours, some good cocktails, great conversation, and exploring all of the details in the decor. A staple for any visit I'll be making to College Station and Aggieland.

I have been to cigar lounges around the country and this easily ranks among the top. Talk about a…read morehidden gem in a small town in Central Texas. First off, the lounge area is massive, with 4 HDTVs, leather couches and chairs to easily seat 30, plus several high-top tables and a coffee counter area with leather high-backs. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing with the ability to enjoy a cigar and watch the game or have a conversation. The store side features a nice selection of tobacco products and accoutrements for cigars and pipes. Most impressive is the gigantic walk-in humidor with a premium cigar selection rivaling big-city stores in NY and DC. The major difference is the price point, which is so low I am buying boxes for friends who work in cigar stores in the northeastern US! Even though I had never been here before I was greeted with famed Texas hospitality and met some wonderful people, both staff and regulars alike. The one downside is that they do not sell alcohol, though you are encouraged to bring your own and they will provide glasses, ice and anything else you may need. They also offer a very nice boutique coffee selection. If you are anywhere in the area, make a trip up here. You will be more than glad you did!

When an employee walks into the humidor while you're trying to browse, it creates an uncomfortable feeling--almost like they don't trust their customers. Part of the experience of visiting a cigar bar is being able to take your time and explore the selection at your own pace. Constantly having someone nearby, watching and waiting for questions, takes away from that. If I need help, I'll ask for it. Otherwise, I prefer to browse without feeling monitored. I'm just saying!!

The ambiance is a blend of warmth and elegance, with exposed wood and rich leather accents that invite you in. It's a place to peruse the extensive collection, savor the rich aroma in the humidor, and appreciate each cigar. Zodi'X is for the girls too. I was recommended a cigar named Crazy Alice. It's sweet--literally, with the tip dipped in sugar--and tapered to be an ideal size for those new to the cigar scene.

Best Cigar Lounge Experience - A Must-Visit!…read more I've been to cigar lounges all over the country, but C&S Cigar Lounge stands out as one of the best! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed like family--whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor. The atmosphere is warm, laid-back, and just the right mix of upscale and inviting. Their signature cocktails are on another level. The peach cobbler whiskey sour is a game-changer, and if you haven't tried the watermelon moonshine from Copper Shot Distillery, you're missing out! Pair that with their impressive cigar selection, and you've got the perfect night. Live music nights? Unbeatable. Great bands, good vibes, and a crowd that knows how to enjoy the moment. The owner and staff go above and beyond to make sure everyone has a top-tier experience. I've found my cigar lounge, and if you're in the area--or even passing through--C&S is a must-visit.
