I enjoyed my time here. Cigar selection was a little thin but the atmosphere was nice. Service was good. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Bar: Cigar Especial - Having a cigar with dad :) - Cigar Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This place is a hidden gem that most people walk right past -- and that's a shame. Stacked humidor, incredible bourbon selection, and hospitality that is simply untouched. Owner Tony and his staff go above and beyond every single time. First-timer or regular, you're treated like family from the moment you walk in. read more

This is an incredible place to grab a great cigar and great drinks. The service is great and the seating is comfortable. The owner is very knowledgeable about his cigars and liquor, so ask for a recommendation and you will get an honest answer. The regulars and tourists were very welcoming and fun to talk to at the bar. You can also just get a seat by yourself and relax. The walls are very tall and the air system works well. I highly recommend that you visit when in Nashville. read more

This bar is a hidden jewel. We love visiting it. Bar Especial is private, intimate, and sophisticated.

Stopped to have a cigar on my drive from CA to VA. I've never been to Tennessee and looked this place up. It looked really fancy from the pics and lookd like it had a good selection of cigars. One of the other reason I stopped in was I got to Nashville late after 10pm and all the other cigar lounges in the area were closed; most close at 10pm. The lady bartender was nice and helped get me a table, but quite frankly I was disappointed with the lack of cigars they had, it was pretty much empty in the humidor. Apparently people came in and bought the whole boxes and they were low on inventory. They had a decent selection of liquor, but I wasn't drinking. All and all, I wasn't satisfied with the cigar lounge at all and have traveled to many around the country. It was a nice rustic building, but, there were a lot of downfalls for me. Worn down leather furniture and the V-cutter I used did not cut my cigar well, I ended up doing a circle cut, but it wasn't a clean cut, I think there was something worng(it was blunt) with the cutter. Apparently this is a local spot, a quieter section of town, it was a Tuesday in July and after 10.30pm and was dead. I found the cigars to be pricey and the humidor wasn't working well because my cigar was dry. Well Nashville, I came and I went. Ill be back for a country concert, but think I'll try another cigar lounge next time. read more

This place is average at best. The bartender did the minimum and the cigar selection is weak. It's off the beaten path which could be good or bad depending on what you want. It's spacious but my experience was below average a quick 50 bucks for one drink and one cigar and a tip. read more

Rachael was sweet and very friendly. Helped choose a cigar, made us drink and had a nice conversation. The place could use some better ventilation for sure. Nice and roomy read more

Came in here on a Saturday night to watch the football game, have a drink and smoke some cigars. I really enjoyed the atmosphere which is open, spacious and great ventilation while smoking cigars. They had lots of comfortable leather seats, TV screens and a great selection of liquor. The bartender is super sweet and attentive. They have this amazing Saint Bernard dog named Moose who comes to greet you. They have a decent selection of cigars. Everything is very clean with lots of ashtrays, lighters and cutters which is very convenient. Overall, I love how comfortable and welcoming this place is. It's great to sit back, relax and enjoy a drink and cigar. read more

I heard about this place from some co-workers while visiting the area. Decided to give it a shot. Had a great time!!! The place had a decent selection of cigars and a great selection of whiskies. read more

Bar: Cigar Especial - An Undercrown Cigar and bourbon - Cigar Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Awesome cigar bar with drinks. Off of Broadway and the tourist crowds, warm cozy interior good selection of cigars and decent drink prices. Allows food to be delivered there. read more

Very comfortable place with lots of TVs. They also have a full bar, so it's a nice place to sit and smoke. Over the past year and a half or so since I've gone the selection seems to get smaller and smaller for cigars. The owner is a very nice guy and I've always had good service from the employees. I will say he has a giant dog that hangs out inside and can get a little testy sometimes. I found myself going to a place around the corner more often but I still go here. read more

Went back with a few old friends to this place. Great ambience in an old building with a lot of character. Talked to the owner who really knows his cigars. He was kind enough to put on my game I wanted to see on one of the many cigars. Talked to him a while and he had a lot of laughs with our friends. Rachel the bartender makes a fantastic Manhattan. Love this place! read more

We were looking for a place to smoke a cigar so we ended up here. It's a little off the beaten path and I don't recommend walking here. Once you are inside though, it's a nice atmosphere with plenty of leather couches to go around. The cigar humidor has some good selections some of which are unique to the shop. The owner was knowledgable about the cigars too. They have a decent whiskey selection as well as a few rums. Overall, I found the price of cigar bars to be quite high in Nashville compared to other parts of the country, so be prepared to spend a bit more here. read more

A really magical, cozy place to enjoy a cigar in overstuffed chairs and a full bar. Just the right amount of light, and soft music complete the scene. Even my wife enjoys it, because the smoke evacuators are some of the most efficient. read more

Out of towner here that sought this place out on a cool Minday evening. I was the only customer when I walked in around 7:30, a few couples trickled in after that. Service was good. Cigar selection was average. Location feels a little isolated. But the space itself is what made the experience. Dark bit Opened airy feeling by cigar-bar standards anyways. I didn't even "reak" of smoke after I left, they must have a great ventilation system!? I will be back on a busier night in the future. read more

Great vibe and cigar selection. They always have free parking available too. I liked it so much I became a member. read more

Decent cigar lounge with nice leather seats, TVs, and a good selection of cigars and whiskeys. Self-service on punching the cigars and lighting them up, but got all the tools at each table. Lighters were powerful. Different cutting tools for different cut preferences. Paired my Rocky Patel with Weller whiskey so I was definitely enjoying myself. read more

Bar: Cigar Especial - Cigar Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

A nice guys hangout, like all cigar bars, this had big sofas, decent drinks and lots of cigars. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. Basically, the cigars were a little on the dry and a bit marked up. The lighters were really cool, reminiscent of light sabers. It was comfortable and the air filtration system was rather loud. Bottom line: good to go, mellow night - worth it! read more

Very limited cigars, no premium cigar brands. As the owner stated it's for his "members" Prices are higher than most cigar shops. No options for non-drinkers. read more

New to the Nashville cigar scene but you have to check this place out. Tony, the owner, has a great establishment. A full bar, nice selection in the humidor, and a great atmosphere. This is a 5-Star cigar experience! Thank you, Tony! read more

Was there 3 nights in a row. Good drinks, competitive prices , enjoyed the Bourbon and cigar. Humidor was less than 50% full with most boxes only having a few left which makes room "seem" low/empty. Thoroughly enjoy the knowledgeable Bar Keep/Manager. She knows her Bourbons and the town. Being from California if was very interesting. Great location. I went there the third night in a row because I knew there would be plenty of seating available! Montecristo's was completely full just like their Humidor. It would be so much better for the patron's if there was some kind of "bar snacks".....keep them drinking . Understand thinking of adding food but simply having popcorn or pretzels would be easy. The sofas are perfect for the feel of the club but the chairs all need replacing! Worn out peeling look makes them seem "not clean". Having a great bar top is nice for the clientele but the bar stools need to be about 4 inches higher when they get replaced...most have holes! Our convention just signed with Nashville for the next 10 years so I hope their there next year. What's with the old wood table in the men's room? Will return! read more

This lounge is very comfortable and a nice place to relax and enjoy a cigar with a drink. My favorite part of the lounge is that every section has its own tv, and they leave the remote out for you to change the channel to whatever you want. My only gripe is that their cigar selection probably averages around the $12-$15 range. The Undercrown by Drew Estate (around $10) is about as low as they go. read more

Great location just a few blocks from Broadway. Lots of comfortable seating and tvs. Good selection of cigars and spirits.

Cigar Especial is unique, inviting and offers a great selection of drinks and cigars. Lani, the general manger provides customers with 5 star service and products. I highly recommend this bar for locals, travelers and businesses. If you are looking for a great place to meet new friends, gather with old friends or just enjoy a pleasant evening. Cigar Especial is your place. I want to thank the staff during my last visit to Nashville. I had the opportunity to meet a few new friends and enjoy a great smoke. I can't wait to return to visit my new old hang out. Please come in and enjoy Cigar Especial! Reggie Sanders (Col Ret) Hell Fighter 6 Sends! read more

Was greeted right away when I walked in to pick out a cigar, originally was going to go back to my hotel but decided to stay. the bartender was knowledgeable. She also pours a great drink. Comfortable furniture. read more

Been back several times. I went to this place when it was Primings and wanted to add to this review. What a difference now that Tony is in there. Humidor is full of "premium" quality cigars. No $5 dollar junk. Higher quality unique beers. Quality bartenders and the regulars recognize me and one even bought me a cigar to try. Good vibe. Highly recommend it if you like quality sticks and a true relaxing place. read more

The WORST customer service. We came in and asked a few questions and the owner was extremely rude and walked us out. I will NEVER come here again. Find another cigar shop! Don't come here! read more

This cigar bar has the best atmosphere I have seen in a long time- and I go to a lot of cigar bars. Kelly the waitress was very kind and had a great smile. The owner spent a lot of time with me in the humidor and could not have been better. I actually tried the food- The Chicago Hot Dog as being from Chicago I had to give it a go. It did not disappoint! I will definitely be back! Very cool place! John Ambrosino read more
