If money is no object, the Carnegie club is a great place to have a cigar in Manhattan. The place has a great vibe. Anyone that smokes cigars in the city regularly knows how hard it is to find a place to smoke and still get a nice cocktail. Carnegie club delivers. They have a good selection of cigars (at typical Manhattan prices) and they have excellent drinks. They will bring the cigar to you and light it for you. We usually go with a bottle of wine, but the cocktails are goodt too. If you are going on a Saturday, you better get a reservation. They have a live band in the early evenings and they will clear the place out unless you have made a reservation. read more

It's pricy but you paying for location, band, and environment. Drink was good, so as smoking cigar with jazz band. We had a great night for sure. read more

I had an amazing time here on Valentine's Day! I saw a lovely show of a tribute to Frank Sinatra. The singer was even nice enough to take a picture w/ me at the end. My only qualm with the facility as a whole is the fact that they do not itemize your bill. My friend was kind enough to pay with her card and there was a $75 per person charge. I only had a mocktail... Even with her drink, that should not sum up to $150. I wish she could've asked for an itemized bill not sure if there's some sort of fee attached given it is a live show, but would've really appreciated the transparency... read more

Carnegie Club - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

You push open the door and the night kind of sighs with you--like it's been waiting. The place is dressed to the nines without trying too hard, you know? Walls wrapped in that bold, colorful wallpaper--reds, greens, vertically striped and easy on the eyes. Leather seats greet you like old friends, worn just enough to tell a more than a few stories but still proud of themselves. The wood--ah, the wood--dark, polished, everywhere. Bar top gleaming soft under low lights, like it's got secrets but isn't in a rush to tell 'em. There's a haze in the air, not too thick, just enough. Cigars. Real ones, and not cheap. The kind of scent that says nobody here is checking the time. It curls up slow, like it's got nowhere better to be. And the lighting? Low, real low. The kind that forgives you, smooths things out. Makes everybody look a little more interesting, a little more alive. The staff--now there's a picture, sharp as a pressed dollar bill. The fellas behind the bar? Jackets and ties and hair slicked back like they made a deal with the mirror and won. The dames on the floor, they glide more than walk. Tailored dresses, hair set just right, lips carrying that classic red that means business but keeps a secret. They lean in just enough to hear you and smile like they already know what you need. Now the menu... oh, the menu. You got your high-end pours lined up like royalty. Top-shelf whiskey--neat, of course, or with a single cube if you insist. Then there's the cigars--kept in a humidor that's treated better than most folks treat their homes. You got smooth, mellow ones for the beginners, and bold, full-bodied numbers for the guys who've seen a thing or two. Each one cut clean, lit with care, handed over like a quiet ceremony. It all comes together like a tune that don't need a big finish. The kind you sit with, sip slow, and let it wrap around you--nice and easy. And then--like the room itself has been holding its breath--the lights dip just a touch lower, the chatter softens, and all eyes drift toward the bandstand. The orchestra's already there, eleven pieces of pure class lined up shoulder to shoulder. Brass gleaming under the soft glow--trumpets and trombones catching the light like they've got something to prove. They sit cool, unbothered, and ready to sigh or swing on command. Then he walks out for Sinatra Saturdays, Steve Maglio--sharp tux, bow tie sitting just right, that easy confidence like he owns the joint but doesn't need to say it. He gives the crowd a look, a half-smile, like you're all in on something together. No rush. No need. He doesn't just sing the songs--he leans into it, bends it a little, lets it breathe. One line comes out playful, the next one cuts a little deeper. And for a little while, nothing else exists but that voice, that band, and the feeling that you're sitting inside a moment people are gonna talk about long after the lights come up. So the joint's got their slick website, real polished, real "we're too classy for nonsense." Except--try booking a reservation more than a hot minute in advance and suddenly it's "sorry, not available." Not available? Meanwhile, you slide over to OpenTable--same place, same tables, same night--and what do you see? Different results. Options. Hope. The whole spread. Like the back door's wide open while the front's got a velvet rope and an attitude problem. And because of that little disconnect? Boom. Every single Frank Sinatra night--gone. Booked solid. Now you're standing there, all dressed up with nowhere to go. You look up the holdings company to ask, the big shots behind the curtain running the whole show for clarification. You craft a nice, polite email. Nothing dramatic. Just a simple question. And then... nothing. No reply. No acknowledgment. Not even one of those sad little automated "we've received your message" numbers. Just radio silence. Like your email slipped on a tux and vanished into the night. Honestly, at this point, the only thing easier than getting a table is getting ignored. And that, baby, is not the kind of exclusivity anybody asked for. read more

Absolutely incredible. The show was spectacular, the staff extremely helpful and attentive. Without a doubt, this was the highlight of our trip and the best time we had in New York. Thank you for making our visit so memorable, we can't wait to come back. read more

My girlfriend really wanted to see Sinatra on Saturdays. Its $50 per person and then a 2 drink minimum. So already a $200 night. NOW, even though we got there very early our view was obstrusted. The layout is really bad. IF you hate smoke smell this is NOT the place for you. All our nice clothes now have to be dry cleaned. The best part when they played the New York song at the end but you're not allowed to go up and film. It was VERY distracting sitting in the back to really enjoy the show. Bottom Line: not worth the reservation. Do a walk in if you really want to but even then you may not be able to see with the obstruction and people in front of you. read more

I'm from Florida, which has 0% tobacco tax compared to New York's 100% mark ups. And we can bring our own cigars to most places, cut and light ourselves, etc. Throw all that out the window. If you are a visitor to NYC you come here for "the experience." I met 4 others guys and we had a corner area reserved for us, right off to the side of a jazz quartet. You select your cigars from a menu and they cut and light for you. 2 drinks and 2 cigars set me back $150, but it was an awesome evening. A little bit annoying for the other 4 with me who don't smoke cigars regularly and needed to get re-lights on their sticks, but all in all a great place and I'd come back on my next visit to NYC. read more

So we came to NYC for a cruise and to visit our niece, my wife and my niece decide to go to a broadway show and I don't like them so I decided to come here, this place is very classy, the drinks are phenomenal and the cigar selection was outstanding. This is definitely a vibe, the service here was very attentive to all the customers even though it was PACKED! I met some really cool people and had some great conversations with strangers. I loved this place and would DEFINITELY come back here again. read more

Very cool place. Kind of feels like you're here for a clandestine meeting or you just finished the day cornering the market on some commodity. Definitely like one of those "clubs" that super wealthy men used to go to to to get away from their wives. Drawbacks, it's a cigar bar and very smokey but don't come if that bothers you. Also prices. Only had one drink-the double oaked old fashioned, and although it was perfect it was also expensive. Service wasn't great. Saw my server once then he never came back, but other people helped me when I flagged someone down, so that wasn't a huge deal. I'd come back with a cigar smoking buddy or my wife for a post-dinner cocktail but I wouldn't stay for long out of fear of bankruptcy. read more

Old style elegance is not dead in NYC while this place exists. A haven for cigar smokers who need a relaxing atmosphere to unwind, grab a cocktail and some food. The servers are attentive and friendly and the drinks are top notch and not overly expensive. High back leather chairs, comfy sofas and love seats bring a certain sense of accomplishment to the venue. A mix of blue collar and power brokers are in attendance "but" it's quite loud and noisy so holding a conversation is difficult but that would be my only downside to this if you seek a quiet atmosphere. read more

We had been eyeing Carnegie Club for a while and finally got to go for New Years Eve. We booked in advance to ensure we got a table. The club is beautiful decorated and feels like you are transported in time. They have a coat check when you walk in, super helpful on messy rainy days (like NYE). For NYE there was a $60 cover charge and a band playing rat pack hits all evening. We were so lucky to be seated upstairs on a plush couch with a direct view of the band. The couch was super comfortable. The couch had two small tables in front of it to place our drinks, food, cigars, etc. Carnegie Club has a few small plates to get if you are hungry, a cocktail menu, extensive liquor menu and an extensive cigar menu. We had the truffle popcorn and cheese plate to eat. The cheese plate is huge and comes with full, large pieces of cheese plus grapes and fig spread with crackers. I had a gin & tonic plus the raspberry fizz drink. Both were refreshing. My husband had two of their old fashioneds. He said they were strong! My husband smoked both of their house cigars at $20 each. I did not smoke. He liked the Maduro house cigar more so than the Connecticut house cigar. Despite the cigar smoke all over, I don't feel like the club was suffocating with it. You still felt like you could breathe. The smell wasn't bad either. I did come up with my clothes smelling of it slightly, but that's to be expected. Initially I was nervous I wouldn't last the whole night with the cigar smoke. I did just fine and I have a sensitive nose. The stand out of the evening was the service. The service was impeccable. Our server was always around and extremely attentive. Every one was working so hard to make sure we were all having a great time. Part of the NYE festivities included a champagne toast at midnight, noise makers, hats and a plate of small dessert cookies. They put the countdown on the TVs and the whole place did the countdown together. It was really a fun, special evening. We will remember this NYE for years to come, and are thinking of making this a yearly tradition now on NYE, since we did have so much fun. I feel extremely lucky we had good seats, some of the other seats in the place don't seem to have as good visibility to the band. The earlier you get there, the better chance you have at a good seat. Carnegie Club was the epitome of class, elegance and great service on NYE. Everything was perfect from the food, to the drinks, to the cigars, to the whole vibe. I'd like to come back for a Sinatra Saturday (a Sinatra tribute band plays every Saturday) very soon! read more

The 8PM set is the iconic Sands‑era tribute. * Tickets: $45 (general) / $65 (premium) with a two‑drink minimum * Reservations available 60 days in advance via OpenTable--definitely recommended.

Carnegie Club - Singer - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Nice ambiance. Service was impeccable. Great place to sit and relax. Pleasant environment and lots of smile from everyone

Wow. If you ever get the chance and love Frank Sinatra this is the place for you. We secured reservations by going on-line at the earliest possible time for our date and picked the 4:45pm show. We paid for premium seating ($65/person) and when we arrived we had a seat right in front of the stage. We were probably 3 feet away from the singer who was just absolutely fantastic. Drinks were reasonably priced and prepared to perfection. I'll drop a video clip of the final song. A more personalble guy you will not find! read more

Carnegie Club - Old-fashioned cocktail - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Date: Monday, May 6th, 2024 Time: around 10:30pm Party of: 4 What: Cigars and Scotch *Macallan Flight ( $80) *HOUSE MADURO ($20) *HOUSE CONNECTICUT ($20) x2 *Sazerac ($20) *Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban ($20) *Glenfiddich 14 Year ($20) *MACANUDO PETIT CORONA ($28) After dinner, the final four wanted to check out one more stop. One of the boys was planning on coming to Carnegie earlier in the trip, but never made it. Since we all like smoking cigars and drinking scotch, we decided to check it out. It was moderately busy when we arrived, but we didn't have to wait long to be seated. I decided to be extra and do the Macallan tasting. It came with the 12 Year, 15 Year, 18 Year or Rare Cask. (I think I got the 18 vs rare cask.) It was nice for sipping. Cigar wise, I don't know that much, so normally defer to the hubby. I wanted to try a house one, so he said do the robusto as I like more full bodied cigars. This worked well with my scotch. On Mondays, they close at 12 midnight so we didn't have much time here. No one really finished their cigars, but we were expecting that given the time crunch. Some people lingered around past midnight, but we felt bad, so try to maximize the time. Note about the bill. Definitely make sure to check yours. When I paid, it was on one of those portable cc machines, so I just hit the tip button and signed for it. I do like getting an itemized receipt, so we asked for one. Good thing cuz they charged us for the huge group next to us whose bill was like double ours. They quickly rectified and refunded the transaction. I did feel bad for the establishment since that group paid cash and quickly left. Now I know why. They probably got our bill. Great stop for drinks and cigars. Would definitely check out again on my next NYC trip. REVIEW #3415 read more

WOW. This was an experience I will never ever forget. I came here for Sinatra Saturday and it was beyond amazing. I booked this night in advance and was placed on a waitlist, they were able to book me. When I arrived I was greeted and asked if I wanted to check in my coat which I declined but I appreciated. I was sat at a small table at the stairs which to me left very private and nice. The performance was amazing. I cannot say anything more. It was more than I expected and had an amazing time. The staff was very courteous, attentive and my waitress was AWESOME. I wish I would have asked her name to include her in this review. I ordered a Nicaraguan cigar which is their house cigar it's called Robusto Maduro. I don't smoke cigars often but it was very tasty. I was impressed because I have been to cigar lounges but nothing like this. It was cut and lit for me at my table. The food was excellent. I ordered a plate with different meats. Lamb chops, sausage and more. SO SO SO GOOD seasoned very well. Couldn't not be happier with my experience I almost stayed for the second show and I regret that I didn't. read more

Went on a Tuesday night with a friend. Made prior reservations but the instructions weren't very clear on the website. They talked about the reservation being $30 and it spoke of having to spend at least $15 on tabacco. I was asked to put in my credit card information, but I was never charged. I was never requested to make a minimum purchase for alcohol or tobacco. So I'm not exactly sure what that is for or if there's a specific day for it., the place is absolutely amazing. It's old school. Dimmed lighting and smoking. But I loved the feeling and vibes it gives off. Ordered the dip and pita platter for about $23, your choice of two dips, and it was a very generous portion. Also got the sandwich and it was so good also in the $24 range. They have a wide range of drinks available I went with a bubbly raspberry drink and it was great. I thought they had live music everyday but unfortunately it was not the case. I wish their website was easier to understand. Hope to be back for a frank Sinatra night. read more

Tried getting reservations for two months, but kept being told that "standing room is always an option." Spoiler: it's not. They tell you to line up at 10pm for a 10:30 show, but don't even start letting reservation holders in until 10:20 at the earliest. The bouncer claimed he'd let 20-25 people in for standing room, yet they didn't begin seating those spots until after the show had already started -- and only about 10-12 people made it in. Then he vanished. No updates, no communication, no basic courtesy. He finally reappeared around 11pm just to tell us nothing, despite the venue being fully occupied the whole time. If you value your time (or basic respect), skip this place. read more

We came here on a Thursday night after dinner and on Saturday night, for a Sinatra Tribute. Thursday, we had reservations. We were seated at our reservation time in a nice location. Service was very good/friendly. Drinks were great. No one rushed us, and my husband really enjoyed the cigar experience. Saturday, we did not have reservations so we came early and stood in line for 45 minutes. We were one of the first couples in the door after those with reservations were seated so we were lucky enough to get seats. Others stood at the bar. Drinks again were very good. Service was very good (Good luck to the young lady who waited on us with her stint in "OKLAHOMA!") The Sinatra performer was very good...enjoyed his singing a lot. The ensemble that accompanied him was great. Would definitely recommend both experiences. Very different but both fun. read more

I've always been curious about this bar since it's right across from Carnegie Hall. This was my first time at a cigar bar, and while it was quite smoky, it was still a fun experience. I ordered an espresso martini, and my date had an old fashioned. They have a rule of a $25 service minimum per person, with $15 of that needing to be spent on tobacco. I believe they have live music on Saturdays, called the Sinatra Saturday show, and I'd definitely come back for that! The service was attentive--they even cut and lit the cigars for you, which added a nice touch to the experience. read more

I came here with coworkers to relax and have some drinks and cigars - and it did not disappoint. Atmospheric wise, this place was it. It was very relaxing, with excellently trained staff. Their cigar choices are a bit expensive, but for New York City and the vibe, you have to pay to play sometimes. Their drink selection was quite large as well, expensive cognacs and whiskeys to pair with your cigar of choice. I will be back when I am craving a smoke and drink. read more

Truly one of my favorite spots in the city. I love the music and the ambiance. Unbeatable.

So I came back here for another event after 10 years. We came here an hour before the event, and the place was already packed. There was no where that two beautiful ladies could say that, but fortunately, I found an area where the gentleman made space for us. I thank them kindly. Service was decent though I would say they should give you water without you asking. If they're bringing water for three of the four they should assume everybody wants water. Other than that the bathroom quality in Prude for ladies and the music was good. Ladies, I do want to let you know this is not a place to pick up men. Plain and simple. You are here to enjoy your smoke. This is the equivalent of a sports bar that men are here to chat with other men and enjoying their smoke since in New York City regreso are very few places left. read more
