    This is the place to be if you enjoy having a drink, a cigar, peace of mind and some great guy talk amongst friends and strangers as well. My friend mentioned that he had heard of this place and wanted to check it out. So, we had a friend fly in from Hawaii who wanted to go out and we decided on this place. We arrived behind the establishment and walked around to get the the lounge but did notice some parking in front. The only reason I mention this is just incase someone reads this and has an issue with parking. There are clubs and bars around so this could be a helpful tip. Anyway, upon arrival the place looks small with maybe 4 recliners, the cash register and the cigar steam humidified room with a large selection of cigars. Once you select your cigar, Mario (great guy at the front), lights you up and directs you to the back where all the action takes place! ** The cover was $10 a person and they have a yearly membership fee of $480 and that includes year round access and you can bring up to ten guess with the $10 cover charge waived for each person. They also have personal lockers which are $50 I believe (don't quote me). Police, fire and military get a yearly membership at the discounted price of $300. ** Ok back to the lounge, as you walk through the hallway, you open the door and you're greeted by a room with about 15 TVs, a bar, and some high stools. I believe this is where they host sports events and for people to smoke and socialize. Then you have the option to proceed even further to another room which is the lounge area with large couches, recliners, tv's, shuffle board and a jukebox. The vibe was dope and everyone was cool. They have a waitress who comes to see if you would like any drinks from the bar and keeps your water glasses topped off. Overall, this is a lounge we will be attending frequently, and we may possibly get a membership. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

    Classic old school lounge. Great drinks, cigars and service. Been a long time member there. One of the OG's. Come in check them out and get a membership. It is a private lounge.

    This is actually a really nice cigar lounge. They do have a full bar and the servers have always been very nice and accommodating. They have a nice selection of cigars and you can order food from restaurants in the area and food will be delivered directly to your table.

    Stopped in after dinner and drinks for a cigar and, yes, more drinks. This place is the perfect vertex point of chill and class as far as cigar lounges go, it's one of my faves as I can come here at any time with any type of group and I know they'll enjoy themselves. The bar is stocked with a good arrangement of bourbon, and they have a good selection of cigars. If you haven't been here yet then I recommend that you do. :)

    Finally checked this place out. It's awesome, will definitely go again. Friendly staff, excellent bar, cool clientele. Plenty of TVs with sports on. A back room with leather coaches. Loved the vibe.

    I prefer my cigar lounges quieter with jazz, but this being one of the last cigar bar bastions in California, I'm all for the more raucous atmosphere! Also met Peter and Joey who are great people. The humidor keeps the cigars well; my Padron had an easy drag so I had to slow down between drags to prevent burning it, and the construction wasn't defective in anyway, giving it a clean flat burnline all the way down. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Laid back atmosphere with quality cigars. Next to other clubs if you want to wind down or level up. Lots of televisions and music.

Then I got a white claw, this part is my mistake I guess but I didn't know , but I went to step outside for a moment to get some fresh air and security came outside and aggressively SNATCHED my white claw and threw it away, I was stunned. He ended up feeling bad because I cried because I'm sensitive lol and gave me a new white claw but that whole thing was just uncalled for and crazy - a simple "hey you can't have that outside either throw it away or come back in" would have done fine. THEN, and yall; I was a little lit but not drunk drunk, I was talking to the bar tender we were chopping it up and having a good talk then this girl who I said I hi to thought I was hitting on her and I told her I was married to a man and then I asked her "did you think I was hitting on you" she dismissed me but then apparently she told the bar tender that I did something because I was ASKED TO LEAVE - I have never in my life written a review for anywhere and I also have never EVER been escorted out of a bar at all let alone for no valid reason. I wish it went better because love dancing and it's a place to dance near my house but i definitely will never be back and would NOT reccomend this bar to anyone ever.

Because it's so cramped, every conversation echoes throughout the room, which made it hard to relax and enjoy the experience. The drinks were expensive and very small, and honestly didn't feel worth the price. The food was the same way. We ordered the scallops and the cheeseburger -- $36 for three scallops with rice and $26 for a mediocre burger and fries felt really overpriced for the quality and portion sizes. Unfortunately, the whole experience felt more like a rip-off than a special night out. I don't think I'd return, and I probably wouldn't recommend it to friends.

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.
