    Stepping into the cigar bar feels like slipping into a well-dressed time machine that decided to…read moreloosen its tie. The air hums with the scent of tobacco, oak, and good decisions made slowly. Plush couches and deep leather chairs form little islands of comfort, perfect for sinking into a conversation that doesn't need to end soon. Along the walls, humidors stand like treasure chests, keeping their cigars in stately silence. Vintage wood glows everywhere--from the bar's polished surface to the beams above--each grain steeped in quiet history. Overhead, TVs flicker with old games and new ones alike, while dart boards wait nearby for a little friendly competition between sips of bourbon and curls of smoke. The bartender slides the Old Fashioned across the bar with the precision of a man who's been doing it long enough to know that showmanship is for amateurs. No fancy garnish, no chatter--just the soft clink of glass meeting wood and a nod that says this'll do. Happiness here isn't loud or glittery--it's slow-burning and pleasantly lopsided, like a jazz tune played just slightly off the beat. It seeps in between sips and smoke rings, wrapping itself around you like the worn leather of the chair you've claimed for the night. It's the kind that finds you sitting still, glass half full, smoke curling upward like a satisfied sigh. Cheers!

    I want to love this place and I have tried, but management has made it a bit difficult. For…read morestarters, the lounge needs a bit more ventilation. If you have more than 3-4 people in there it's practically like a hotbox more liken to what you'd see at a concert from a fog machine. The next biggest issue I've had here is their hours. They don't actually have any real hours, it's kind of just whenever they feel like closing they close especially if it's not busy. One time I showed up a few minutes before 8 with a buddy an we were told they were closing. We brought up the fact that we checked their own website and it said 10pm before we drove half an hour. We were told the website was wrong. Another time we show up on a Friday around 9pm and they are scheduled to close at 11pm. Again, we were told they were closing early around 9:30p and asked to leave. I find not keeping to your posted hours really unprofessional even if it's only 1 or 2 customers. And the hours on your website and door should always be up to date as well as Google, Yelp and Apple Maps which is where 90% of people are going to check. It's easy to sign up for a manager account on those sites. The crowd here can be really really weird. One day a buddy and I were smoking in the rocking chairs outside when we were approached by someone who entered via the gate and asked if they could sit with us (note I said sit, not join). We accepted. They then promptly invited all of their friends to join one by one as they arrived and pretty much pushed us out of the table and wouldn't really speak to us--apparently the rocking chairs are coveted and we were in "their" spot. On top of all that, every one of them brought a travel humidor, not a single one went inside and bought anything. I've seen this group here many times and I've never seen them inside to get a drink or a cigar or anything. Very strange. Finally, if you compare this place to Apex Cigar lounge it just seems small and dirty. Apex has better ventilation and lighting in the lounge. Their outside areas are nicer and much cleaner. Their humidor is twice the size. And more importantly...they keep the hours they post on their site even if you are the only person there. Heck, I've been there after hours just chilling and smoking with the staff.

    I rarely give a 5 star rating... but this place is the closest that I have seen in a while…read more They are a gem in that area if you are a cigar smoker and/or craft beer drinker It is located on a main road and has its own parking area. The owner greeted us and was very nice and friendly. This business is very veteran supportive. Along with major cigar brands, they support veteran owned cigar makers like Southern Draw and Carolina Cigar Company. In addition, several of the beers on tap come from veteran owned breweries. They have an indoor and outdoor seating area. The outdoor area is heated. There is a $5 per year cost to smoke there. The owner, Eric, explained their rationale for that. The indoor area is nice and they have music playing. There are no sports or news stations allowed on the TV. Eric told us that their are plans to have speakers placed around for better sound and volume control. Like I said they are not perfect and are working on things, but overall this place is excellent I wish I lived closer.... And i wish they did on line ordering, but that may come later he said. Go here and check it out!!!

They close early-6pm. We finally started adding this stop on our road trips a couple of years ago and maneuvering our road trips around this stop ever since. We always bring our dog with us on road trips so I read somewhere dogs were welcome inside. I went inside first to check and yes, dogs are welcome inside! This place can feel overwhelming when first walking in because its huge! Funny though, there is a huge wine selection and refrigerators with beer and wine but you cannot drink in there. They also sell cigarettes and I am assuming you can smoke those inside because you can smoke cigars inside. While you enjoy your cigar, you can lounge on a sofa or chair. There is also a huge tv, which usually has sports on. But wait, there's more! They have a giant walk in humidor at the back. It is the size of a store itself. Talk about variety! My dad has smoked cigars my entire life so I know a thing or two but do not consider myself an expert. The staff in there are always helpful and invited us to bring our dog in there last time we visited. We always spend a couple of hundred dollars in there and the quality has been consistent. I just wish they were open a little later.

    The Angus Barn is a MUST if you are around the Raleigh area. We can't get enough of it!…read more From prime rib that melts in your mouth to kabobs, this place has it all. Christmas time is beautiful, as they decorate the ceiling with garments and ornaments and other decorations around the massive restaurant, but reservations are needed no later than 6 months in advance. If you're fine waiting 3 hours for a table max, then you will be fine. Every single time we come to Angus Barn, something is different. Now they give you a soup or salad with your meal, along with bread! The cheese and crackers are famous among the people and are a great way to start your meal. The bread is so fresh also! All components in their house salad is great. Everything is awesome! The prime rib is tender and has such good flavor. Their mac n' cheese is the way to go. Their recipe is constantly changing. Like what I previously said, something is different every time you come to Angus Barn. The chocolate chess pie is the best I've had. This is a MUST when dining at Angus Barn. You HAVE to get the chocolate chess pie. The service is some of the best in the restaurant business and all do a great job at explaining things. So kind and professional! Once again, if you're around Raleigh and don't come to Angus Barn, you are missing out. I highly recommend you come. So good!

    Great find in North Carolina!, The Angus Barn was a truly special dining experience, offering a…read morerustic yet elegant atmosphere, exceptional service from Tanner, and outstanding steakhouse cuisine. We immediately became addicted to the house-made chips served with two incredible cheese dips--one sharp cheddar and the other a rich blue cheese. They were absolutely irresistible! The only disappointment of the evening was the French onion soup, which was a bit thin and lacked the rich flavor I was expecting. The filet mignons were cooked to perfection and served with a creamy Béarnaise sauce, accompanied by mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. My perfectly crafted Old Fashioned was the ideal pairing and complemented the meal beautifully. Although the dessert tray was filled with tempting, decadent creations, we were simply too full! Instead, we enjoyed a scoop of delicious locally made vanilla ice cream with sprinkles, produced by a nearby college, along with a warm Bailey's coffee to finish the evening. Before leaving, be sure to stop by their charming gift shop, where you'll find many of the homemade specialties served in the restaurant, including the famous chips and cheese spreads. You can also relax with a cocktail on the expansive outdoor wooden deck overlooking a beautiful koi pond, surrounded by antique wooden horses that add to the unique atmosphere. Angus Barn is far more than just a great steakhouse--it is a memorable dining destination and an experience you'll be talking about long after the meal is over.
