“ Love the atmosphere. Service was fantastic thanks to Will. Wide variety of sticks and awesome old fashioned!! Out of towner here on business many times pre-COVID and made sure to stop here during my first post-COVID biz trip to Portsmouth!! ”
“ I hope to own a place like this one day. This cigar bar sets the standard and demonstrates what every owner should try to achieve. The atmosphere is quiet, relaxed with good selection of whiskeys, competent bartenders and a good cigar selection. There's nothing not to like about this place. When I am here having a cigar and a double bourbon, I am in my happy place. ”
“ One of the coolest lounges I’ve been to. Excellent atmosphere, top notch cocktails, killer bourbon selection, and an outstanding selection of cigars. Make sure to ask for an Old Fashioned made by Will, great bartender and a great conversation. I’ll be back again for sure. ”
“ My wife and I came into Portsmouth for a vacation and as people who enjoy both cigars and drinks this was the spot to go to. The old fashioned I had was one of the best. Able to taste each component and just compliment the cigar (we got from the store literally upstairs). If we were locals this would be a weekly spot 100%. For now it’ll just have to be our fave place to go when we’re in town! ”
“ Great cigar selection in a very cool speak easy atmosphere. Highly recommend! ”
“ Great cigar selection but the best combo is a good Old Fashioned with a cigar. This old fashioned is one of the smoothest I've had. Don't sleep on this lounge. ”
“ Great underground spot. Dark and comfortable. Good selection of cigars, and better selection of whiskey and beer. Bartender and servers have always been knowledgeable and attentive. Great place to come with friends for a upscale evening in a speakeasy type of atmosphere. ”
