Nice place to enjoy a drink 🍸 and cigar. The night i visited was real laid back, good music playing and the service was good. I believe food is served but I didn't order any. I'll probably try the food on my next visit.

We had a delightful experience when our large group decided to stop for a drink. It was an impromptu visit as we were just passing by, but it turned out to be an excellent decision. The drinks were exceptional, and the bartender provided outstanding service, even though our group of 24 were the only patrons at the time. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Just before our departure, other groups began to arrive, but the pleasant atmosphere remained consistent.

Walked in for me first time. The waitress helped me very quickly. Cigar selection was ok prices were decent. I grabbed 2 cigars Fuentes. I ordered wings and the nola philly. They had a good bar selection. The food was AMAZING. The Philly was on point and the wings had good flavor. The place has a good relaxing vibe to it. But that food was made with love. Definitely stop to eat here and if you don't smile you can sit in the inside area. It does have limited parking in the lot but you can park on the street too.
