"Best kept secret. This spot is literally around the corner from my house, and I had no idea it was here. The drinks were not watered down, the DJ was on point, and I was pleasantly surprised by the ventilation most cigar lounges overwhelm me with smoke, but this one didn’t. They also have hookah and a pool table, which adds to the vibe. My only suggestion would be a better system for the cigars, because as the night went on it started feeling more like a club than a cigar lounge. Either way, I’ll definitely be back. It’s perfect for a quick pop-in and out."
