PROS: - Located in Downtown Fullerton, but this could also be a con. - Lots of places to eat nearby. - I was invited by a friend who's a member, the staff and people there are very chill. - Lots of televisions inside. - Shuffleboard table in the back. - A full on bar. CONS: - If you go during peak hours (anytime on the weekend during the evening) it's PACKED! If you're not a fan of cigar smoke, going during the weekends is not going to be pleasant. - Parking sucks as always in DTF. FINAL THOUGHTS: - IT's a cool place to burn a stick and watch a game. I'm sure it's even more chill during the weekdays when it isn't packed. PRO-TIP: - Fullerton's parking enforcement don't f*ck around. Be aware of where you park and time limits. read more

I let this slip away from me. After being a member for 15+ years, I've moved to another state and I already miss this place. You can't ask for a better owner, staff, or fellow members. It's a family. There is absolutely no other venue for hundreds of miles that can compare to 8 Eighty Eight. - Great selection of cigars. - Full bar. - 15 TVs - Knowledgable front staff - Extraordinary bartenders and servers - Fun events - An owner who cares If you haven't checked this place out recently, what are you waiting for? If you're from out of town, make time to stop in. You won't regret it. There are imitators, but there is NO OTHER 888. read more

If you like cigars, and you want a nice place to be able to sit down, relax, and enjoy a stick with some delicious drinks; come check this place out! Yes, it is members only. YES, it is worth the membership fee (if you enjoy cigars). This is the kind of place where you can sit back and enjoy a game without having to worry about issues arising around you. Chairs are comfortable. Plenty of ashtrays, and the service is top notch. Maya is an excellent bartender who mixes up delicious drinks! Yes it is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. I've long been looking for a relaxing place that is local I can come enjoy a smoke and a drink, I have found it! Can't wait to watch some NFL playoff games there this weekend! read more

Nice selection of cigars! Helpful willing and ready to "roll" staff. Once you buy, they do have a back room (with bar). Not sure if you have to be a member, or there's a per visit fee. Big TV's and then a second room to the back, less on the TV's more on the couches. This particular visit was nice - Padrons don't hurt;). Anyway, as a typical cigar bar goes, this was "up there." read more

Nice to see my favorite cigar lounge is back open! IThis place is for "grown folk" (yes intentionally left as singular not plural) meaning that since the 888 is smack in the middle of a college town there's no bs kid drama like in surrounding bars. It's not a cheap bar so you're gonna pay top shelf prices for top shelf alcohol. The members hear are awesome people from all walks of life. All the bartenders possess serious mixologist talents. If Old Fashions are your drink then you'll be in heaven. Roger the owner is great guy who makes everyone feel right at home. Prior to the Covid break most patrons would occasionally have food delivered to the lounge from the neighboring restaurants but now it's required. Luckily the area is literally surrounded by great restaurants. I ordered chicken & beef tacos as well as carnitas nachos from the Back Alley as they were delicious. PS The lounge is for members only but the humidor is available to everyone. Very affordable membership price. read more

Let me just start by saying this place has shown me the upmost respect. The staff here is nothing but second to none starting with the owner Roger. Sonya being the second in command brings another level of professionalism and to end with Macenzie. Family owned business that truly know how to take care of their people. Not an expensive membership and some or the best old fashioned's I've ever had. Great service And great people. It's the perfect place for a get together with friends and family who enjoy a good cigar and old fashions. Don't listen to the negative people here who feel this isn't a great establishment. If so, find another establishment who charges $40 a month. read more

We were newbies to this bar and they couldn't have been nicer. Because we were the first ones in that day they waived the $10 fee to enter the actual bar area. John the bartender gave generous pours. It was a Tuesday. I'd expect it to be more crowded on weekends. They didn't have Natural Dirt Torpedoes, my favorite, but the cigars I bought instead were wonderful. The owner himself came to chat with us. We were treated like VIPs from start to finish. The jukebox was also excellent. Next time my friends come we'll be back! read more

We entered to the bar inside ordered drinks sat at bar, been quite a while since I've been in, to many tables up for my taste of enjoyment of this establishment. To many T.V's to enjoy , Busy the back old leopard room could still be a bit more remodeled, unsure what's going on with seating up top? Restroom could be a bit more updated. Bartender was alone, Wow super busy, even a client helped her behind the bar. She was very attentive even tho she had a lot on her plate. Thanks.

I wanted to compliment 888 on everything. It's exceedingly comfortable, relaxing and welcoming. Whether you are a first timer or been there multiple times, it's like a visit with closest friends. Cost is great, the ventilation super and drinks are poured liberally. I mostly want to comment on the management and ownership and their continued generosity, but in particular, to veterans. Roger, Sonia and the crew go above and beyond and that is so appreciated by the veteran community. Vets, go there and support. Highly recommend 888. Semper Fi read more

One of my favorite Cigar lounges in So Cal! This place is a true man cave- great humidor with good cigars, full bar, recliner chairs, big screen TVs, lockers, pool table, juke box & great atmosphere. Coming in the front you can't tell how big this place is. Walk in and they have a couple seats and entrance into the humidor, but thats only the beginning. There is a back door behind the humidor past the lockers that you have to get buzzed in. Once inside you enter the first Cigar room. Big screen TVs, recliners, full bar and high top tables to really kick it. Great place to have a smoke, drink and catch a game. But wait, there's more! Walk past the bar and you'll find another room with tables, a VIP area, pool table, juke box & more TVs. What!!!! This place has it all. Located in downtown Fullerton, you can order food from any of the local eateries & many of them will deliver to you. Yeah, don't even have to leave to get your favorite food. This place is truly, as the sign says in front, a mans daycare center. Leave your man here and go shopping, he will love you for it! Lol read more

I find this place to be offensive and gross. Why are they allowed to have smoking of any kind inside a building? I am not a member but was invited by a potential business partner and this place was the deciding factor on why I will not be doing business with him or any of the men at the meeting. What I saw reminded me of the "good ole days". For men that is. I saw many married men carrying on with the female help that was not appropriate. But what some people will do to look like big shots and others will do for a fat tip is no place for any real deals to be made. Never again, I would not want anyone to ever get the idea that I play that game. read more

However, you don't always want to feel like you're trying too hard to change your scenery, bumping you too far out of your comfort zone. The answer my friends, is the good old classic American dive bar. Now, many places like to call themselves a dive bar just because they never clean a single inch of their establishment and have seedy patrons that love to play the more than occasional 80's songs on the jukebox but don't be mistaken, a good dive bar is hard to find. Well, I happen to have found one and it's in Fullerton of all places. That's right, Fullerton, not Los Angeles, nor Hollywood nor some pop-culturally over-hyped city. What makes The Blue Door a good dive bar? First, there's earned consistency & routine. The drinks won't always be made well, or the bartender won't always be attentive but if you come a few times, you'll soon know at what time and day the drinks are made properly by knowing the schedules of the bartenders. Secondly, the drinks are stiff, the service is friendly and nobody bothers you unless you bother them. The atmosphere goes from lively and loud to quiet and solitary, again depending upon when you visit. Lastly, they're open from 6:00AM-2:00AM. They're not just there when the hipsters are around, they're there for you whenever you make the bad decision of using alcohol as an anesthetic. Stay searching for the last remains of Americana my friends....

They offer bar seating and booth / table Follow the wall from Randy's donuts and Look for a wall of Japanese sake/beer barrels and head towards the restaurant - the rolling boil. There will be a check in host and stand there and wait (it will be located up against the wall with a big secret door right next to the hostess station) It's very New York inside. When I first came in Spring with the amazing, Karen, the menu and everything was great Now, I took my friend who was in town from Nashville and it was a brand new theme. It's the great Gatsby. Even our waitress, Jasmine was dressed for the occasion. I would say this place is known for Absinthe. They have cocktails featuring it or you can get one of the huge apparatus (huge and glowing green) which, if you are into it? I highly recommend. Just one of the huge apparatus makes one regular drink. Or, what Karen and I did, was split it and make it into a shot for the both of us. The waitress comes out and shows you how it works and goes over everything. Karen, who I came with, was a pro and knew her way around it. She showed me the ropes lol. Honestly, if you are here? When in Rome. Go all out and try it, since it's where they shine here. They took off a few menu items and added some themed drinks. ( a couple new champagne themed drinks) They have big entree items but I suggest small bites and sharing and mostly coming for the drinks. There's no bathroom inside, so you do have to leave the bar and go to the closest one (over behind Randy's donuts) and then enter the speakeasy again Both times coming here I've never had an issue. It's a small, packed place. And yet they still have the cocktails flowing and the food coming out in a good time. So the food and drinks are good Atmosphere is lovely. Service is good. Especially for it usually being very busy in here This place is located inside the Anaheim packing district. So I suggest hitting up a couple other spots before or afterwards for some more food or drinks P.S. it is very dark In here. They never cared if we used our light to look at the menu. However, they do not want flash photography They also do not strictly enforce a dress code (my friend from Nashville asked) however, they suggest dressing business casual and not too underdressed

I really liked the clarified strawberry drink, similar to strawberry and cream. I ordered a drink after that unfortunately forgot the name (photo attached with a tall glass) but there was no special cocktail craft taste to it. Just hard liquor taste and undrinkable :( the bartender kindly offered another drink. Unfortunately none of the food was the least bit good. Steak and fries was ordered medium rare and cooked to medium well with what seemed like no seasoning was on there at all. Crab cake was just ok and the slaw beneath it was drenched in a vinaigrette that was just sour and unpleasant. And the Mac and cheese, as we were very hopeful and looking forward to, was probably the blandest Mac and cheese we ever had. We asked the lady bartender for salt and she handed us, no exaggeration (and you guys will probably think I am) 10 grains of salt in it and said "looks like there's a lil something you could still get out of there" My jaw dropped. But yeah. The shredded meat on top of the Mac and cheese was cooked beyond the point of edible. That one was unfortunately sent back bc we just couldn't eat it. We were bummed over all mostly about the food.

Bo's Cigar Lounge

Let's talk about Bo's…read more A stylish cigar lounge in Downtown Bellflower, on Bellflower Blvd. They have a nice patio in back with an entrance through the parking lot as well as street (time restriction) parking in front (no restrictions after 6pm). The lounge has a front area with bar seating, lounge chairs and table seating, with an additional lounge in back and a members only room. Their walk in humidor is one of the most impressive I've come across with a truly versatile collection of cigars. Lighters and accessories are sold as well as available for use. And they have happy hour specials from 4pm to 7pm Sunday through Thursday during the week (typically $2 off). Very impressed with the non alcoholic, craft beer, wine and various beverages options, including quite a bit on tap. Not many cigar bars and lounges in Los Angeles County or even Southern California offer so much variety. Free WiFi. Live Music on certain nights. Local eateries close by including Steelcraft - Bellflower, an open air food court experience. Special Events. Table service. TV monitors, big flat screen throughout with some variety. Plenty of ashtrays in appropriate places. Restrooms are immaculate and even have mouth wash packets by the sink. Grateful to our friend Sid for introducing us and inviting us out to this spot. We'll definitely make the trip back out again. Derek is the man! One of the most thoughtful, easy going and considerate people you'll ever meet. Not only knowledgable, but personable, and pretty talented ukulele player. Appreciate their selection of bigger gauge cigars 7/70 and 8/80, as well as the variety of big brands: Arturo Fuente, Avo, Asylum, Cao, Cohiba, My Father's, Macanudo, Nub, Oliva, Zino and so many. Open from 10am until 9pm Sunday through Wednesday, until 10pm Thursday night, and as late as 11pm Fridays as well as Saturdays.

This is a perfect place that's casual and laid back to enjoy a cigar and enjoy the company. They have drinks as well. Staff is very welcoming and nice. We watched the game and chilled. This place is casual but feels like family. Will definitely be back next time in L.A.

We also order their award winning fish and chips, we got the cod. It was ok. Not too sure about "award winning". But it was good. My son got the fish bite and chips from the Little Buccaneers menu (12 and under). It came w/a drink and an ice cream sundae. It was a good portion for a 9 year old. He said it was good! Our server was nice and smiley, but unfortunately our food and even our drinks took a while. Maybe cause it was busy, but luckily our server was cheery and friendly, it kind of made up for it.

I ordered an Old Fashioned, and it was one of the strangest I've had. It tasted like the orange had been muddled into the drink, and the sugar was sitting undissolved at the bottom of the glass. For such a classic and simple cocktail, I expected it to be made much better. The calamari was just okay. Some pieces were soggy, as if they hadn't been cooked long enough, while others were a bit chewy. The pasta also didn't seem to be made in-house. At nearly $40 for an entrée, it felt overpriced, especially when there are several nearby restaurants that make their pasta from scratch for a similar or lower price. Our waitress did her best despite seeming overwhelmed and having some difficulty with the portable POS system. She remained polite and attentive, so I don't fault her for the experience. Overall, this wasn't the quality we remembered, and unfortunately, we won't be returning.

A Must-Visit for Cigar Lovers - One of the Best Lounges in the World! I spent four out of five nights of my Vegas trip at Eight Cigar Lounge, and each visit was just as incredible as the last. From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by their exceptional selection of cigars--whether you're a seasoned aficionado or a casual smoker, they have something perfect for you. The staff was not only gorgeous but also incredibly attentive, making sure my glass was never empty and my cigar was always perfectly lit. The vibe is upscale yet welcoming, making it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. No matter where I stay in Vegas, I'll make it a habit to come back here. Honestly, this might be one of the best cigar lounges in the world--I can't recommend it enough! If you love cigars and great service, don't miss Eight Cigar Lounge. 10/10! read more

An excellent cigar lounge & bar. The front of the house is casual and the walk-in humidor is extensive. The back of the house is a private cigar club for members only - but the owners are gracious if you want to take a quick look. Also, the membership is extremely reasonable especially considering the venue and all the great social events they host - including high-end tastings. We here at OC Kickboxing were lucky to work with 8 Eighty Eight Cigar Lounge at the recent, Fullerton College Foundation's President's Gala. Roger & Jacob are definitely both class acts - and their support and generosity of our community is to be commended. Gentlemen - Keep up the Good Work! read more
