The atmosphere is very laid back and comfortable with a really good ventilation system and up to date humidor. You can sit at the very large bar or in the comfy seats. This is a great spot to hang with friends or to go alone if you're looking for a spot to enjoy a good cigar. read more

I'm staying in Newport for the week and I want to enjoy a nice dinner. After dinner, I'm looking forward to smoking a premium cigar and drink a bourbon. From my hotel, I hailed an Uber straight to Breakwaters Cigar & Whiskey Lounge. Walking in, I see there is a well stocked bar. All of the Bourbons and Ryes are up front, well stocked with premium offerings. I'm always searching for a new Bourbon. I chose an Ashton Cigar and had the bartender pour me a Blantons. The humidor has a large selection of great cigar brands. I have to point something out, Rhode Island has a very low tax on cigars. What they tax in Massachusetts for a stick is criminal. I settle at the bar and light up my smoke, totally in the zone at this point. My bartender Michelle, was very cool. We were talking about the various bourbons and for my next pour she recommended Elk? I never heard of it, different than Blantons but welcomed. This is the type of service you'll experience at Breakwaters Cigar & Whiskey Lounge. read more

I go to cigar lounges all over the US when I travel and was very impressed with this spot in Newport, RI. Very clean inside. Great ventilations system. Bright and fresh feeling, unlike some cigar lounges that feel worn out and tired. The selection in the humidor was great. Lots of well known names but also some that not every place carries. Our Guiness was poured perfectly and the server behind the counter was as friendly as can be. She even filled up my torch lighter. I will definitely be back to this location if I'm in the area! read more

Breakwaters Cigar & Whiskey Lounge - Cigar Bars Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

Breakwaters is a fantastic place for a cigar and a drink. The woman that helped us select our cigars is amazing - at the end of the night she sat with us and we learned a lot about cigars. They have a great whiskey/bourbon selection and the air filtration system works really well. I wish I lived closer! read more

Very rude lady stopped my mother right at the door and they didn't even say anything just walked into the lounge and immediately given the rudest attitude. read more

I came to visit Rhode Island's quaint and charming neighborhoods making my way into Newport to check out this newly opened cigar lounge nearby. As soon as we walked in, they recognized my friend by his name which truly amplified the level of service we received. I ordered several cocktails as he enjoyed his cigar while playing chess on their supple leather couches. The vibe was super chill and I really appreciated the kind service and hospitality by Freya our server. It's a relaxing spot to enjoy a nice cigar from their impressive selection within their impeccably maintained humidor. I strongly recommend this establishment for all cigar aficionados. read more

Wouldn't even had known it was there until we had pulled into the parking lot for coffee and discovered the Breakwaters next door -- a beautiful upscale cigar lounge/bar on the outskirts of downtown Newport, to enjoy a smoke. Large humidor stocked with an impressive selection of top notch cigars complimented by a bar with an equally appointed selection of spirits. Comfortable leather chairs and high-def TVs make this an ideal place to enjoy watching a sporting event or hanging out with friends and business associates. read more

Classy cigar bar. Manager introduced himself with a hand shake at the door and was extremely friendly and helpful through my visit. Top shelf liquor with a wide variety of cigars. read more

Breakwaters Cigar & Whiskey Lounge - Drinks! Smokes! - Cigar Bars Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

As a business traveler I always try to find a cigar haven to unwind when I'm out of town. Breakwater is one of the best cigar lounges I've visited. Great prices, good selection of adult beverages. Customer service..Amazing. Many places name you feel out of place because you're not a regular. Not so at Breakwater. Highly recommend this place. read more

Came in for my first cigar and was lucky enough to run into Freesia who so kindly showed me how to smoke a cigar with the proper etiquette. I will be coming back, highly recommend this cigar lounge. great atmosphere, incredibly clean and an all around good night! read more

nice spot. cigar lounge with bar. bartender was nice. pretty good selection of cigars. seemed like there were normal people in there. can't vouch for the drinks since i didn't drink. but the bar looked well stocked. i'd go back again and spend more time when i'm in Newport again . read more

The woman that I spoke with had a condescending edge. I will be sure not to forget to bring my own cigars the next time I visit the area. It seemed like a nice space that I would have had a drink in. I changed my mind, and despite her vibe, I made my purchase and even left a tip as I recognize the struggles of retail establishments and their employees. read more

GREAT PLACE!! The atmosphere was fantastic as well as the drinks and selection of cigars. my brother loved cigars and this place was highly recommended and did not dissapoint. We were helped by Fressia, and she was AMAZING!!!! very knowledgeable. We will definitely be back !! read more

We always look for a Cigar Lounge wherever we go, and are usually disappointed to find only shops that sell cigars, if that..... Breakwaters was a HUGE surprise, and was a GREAT experience. Rodolfo (sorry for the spelling?) greeted us and was super helpful, knowledgeable and recognized right away that we were 2 women than know our cigars, and didn't try and talk down to us (like many places are prone to do). The selection of cigars is HUGE, and full of top name cigars at decent prices. At the bar, Michelle was AWESOME to chat with, and was also extremely helpful with local places to visit while in town. If in town, GO SEE THIS PLACE....It's a great place to chill with a cigar, watch some tv, have a drink and relax. read more

It's nice to see more cigar lounges popping up. Great atmosphere, so far the selection is good, enough to appeal to the seasoned, boutique and beginner cigar smokers alike. Over time I can see their selections getting even better. Prices are great. I'm not a drinker but I did glance at their whiskey selection and they are fully stocked. I appreciate how I can just walk in and browse the humidor without anyone looking over my shoulder. Nice place to just relax with a cigar without anyone bothering you. (For me that's very important as I like to focus on all the flavors in my cigar) looking forward to going back and seeing what cigar events they have planned once this pandemic is over. I will update with more photos on my next visit. read more

A hidden gem. They have a decent selection of whiskey and cigars. But they also have a full bar and beers. There's no food onsite but you can bring your own in. Pizza Hollywood is right next door. read more

I felt compelled to email you about Rudolfo. My husband and I go to Newport once a year. This trip I remembered How Rudolfo treated us last year, and I wanted to see him again. Last year he came around the bar to ask my name and shake my hand. Usually when we go to cigar bars they don't care about me my husband is the one smoking. We had a great conversation with him, but he would promptly excuse himself as soon as another customer came in so he could greet them. I have worked in customer service my whole life, and would have loved to have an employee like Rudolfo. You can tell he does it because he likes it , not just because its his job. Too many times people only complain about bad service and not praise about good service. He is definitely an asset to your business, and we will see him again next year. Thanks for Listening read more

Very good service and atmosphere, highly impressed and a comfortable vibe. Anyone looking to relax and have a nice smoke should check it out! read more

I'm very happy to have found this place. I enjoy going in to grab my weekly cigar and have not been led astray with any recommendations. I've gone to a few events they've held and it has been a joyful experience. It reminds me of my old barbershop in Wyoming where you could go on a Saturday, have a smoke while sipping a beverage and talk amongst the intellectuals in thoughtful debate as well as the exaggerated hunting stories of fish, elk, or any other wild animal worth killing and in which the size of the kill grew larger as the story was repeated over time. Just a fun place to go with friends and make new ones as well. read more

Visited this place yesterday. Met the owner, very down to earth and super nice guy! We were there a day late for a HVC event (duh) and he still kept the event offer open. Good selection of cigars with both heritage and boutique offerings. I'd definitely would go again if I'm ever in the area again! He even tossed in an extra cigar with each of our purchases. read more
