    My substitute monthly cocktail special
    Terry F.

    A decent to good cigar bar with a lot of cigar options. However, they don't always have the supplies to make the cigar and cocktail special that they advertise in their emails--especially near the end of the month. I felt that the cigars were a bit too pricey. The service during the early afternoon n Friday was also fairly slow.

    A friend came into town and we always frequent a new cigar bar and decided to give Casa De Montecristo a try. There is an outdoor patio to just enjoy the weather or watch some sports, inside was a bit smaller than expected and the upstairs was exclusively for members. One of the employees was really friendly and was able to assist us with what we were looking for. Drinks were okay, bartender seems a little inexperience. The atmosphere wasn't as cozy compared to other lounges but we enjoyed ourselves.

    The atmosphere was dope, super chill and laid back. Their selection of Cigars is amazing, actually one of the largest I've ever seen.

    Great selection of cigars and liquor, at a reasonable price. Staff is great and helpful. Live music in the evening on weekends.

    Found this spot to relax after a long day of meetings. I have visited a Casa de Montecristo in Las Vegas and Countryside, IL. Entering the shop, the lounge chairs are situated outside in an in closed patio with flatscreens. Stepping inside there is a full bar to the left and on the right, a multi section humidor, ceiling to floor, filled with premium cigars. It was packed but comfortable. I found a high table, picked my cigar and ordered my drink. The prices were decent, crowd had a good vibe and the staff were cool. The inside was small and no lounge chairs inside but I enjoyed my time and would come back.

    A friend and I were looking for a Cigar lounge after brunch and found this place, walkable from our restaurant. Sunday afternoon. Wasn't crowded. There are seating areas outside, and a bar and a few tables inside. Thankfully we found a high top table. The person who was helping us with the cigar, I can't think of his name, but was SUPER friendly and helpful. I don't typically smoke cigars so I told him I was a newbie and he recommended a cigar and the reason why. His name might've started with a K. Whoever, he was on July 16 @ 4pm, he deserves a promotion :p He cut our cigars for us and offered to light them, but my friend had their own cigar equipment :) Bartender was nice and helpful. No food, but full bar with wine & beer. There is also happy hour (see photos). Nice Ventilation system Members only area upstairs Bathroom for women contained one toilet. Large bathroom. Mouthwash also. Street parking but you could probably also find parking garages in the area

    Absolutely first rate selection of cigars at incredible prices. This place is staffed with very polite and knowledgeable staff and is comfortable. You can sit at the long bar or a high top table; or you can go the front-facing enclosed patio which has both high and "normal" chairs and tables. This place should not be missed if you want a great place to purchase and smoke cigars.

    My last day in DC I decided to stop by this awesome cigar lounge and kick back and relax. I'm from Florida so every place I travel I must visit a cigar lounge and I'm glad I stopped by this one. They have a very nice lounge downtown DC, staff is friendly, and a nice selection of cigars and full bar. I highly recommend this gem.

    I have no idea how this place has 4.5 stars. Good cigars, poor execution, careless bartenders. Asked for the cigar to be cut. Got a horrible chop job. Asked to sit upstairs in a comfy chair, and was rudely told that the area is for members only. Bartender promised to be right with us. As I'm right in front of their face, one is watching something on her phone and the other one ignoring us. God this place needs Blend. This is awful. The jug of bleach on the counter around food prep was icing on the cake.

The serving of salsa was pretty skimpy Given the size of the basket of chips I got. I had to ask for a refill on the salsa. Also, the salsa to me was not salsa, It was more like pico de gallo as it was all just chunks, which was tasty enough, but if I'm to be dipping chips into salsa I was really expecting something a little more liquidy and not just chunks. Also, their chips are way too thin for their salsa, as such as it is. The chips kept breaking every time I wanted to scoop up any of the chips/pico de gallo sauce. Finally, I was a little annoyed at the end, when I noticed the was a slight price increase on my angels envy bourbon. Apparently they charged me $.50 to have one ice cube in my glass. I noted to my server that nobody had asked me what size ice I wanted I had merely said angels envy on the rocks. I didn't get rocks plural. I got one piece of ice. And it wasn't one of those humongous cubes like I have at home either.

They even turned off the TVs almost an hour early and started turning off the lights 30 minutes before the announced early closing time (5:30pm).

    I ran out of room giving the backstory so I cut it and and will start from here…read more ... We get there and there is a line. Not a long one but it wasn't moving so one of us says "Let's get a table". Guess which one didn't say that. While they are deciding if we are going to get a table, I read the dress code. It said not sweat pants but my sweats weren't bad. What I was wearing looks like casual sweats that a ball player would be wearing so when I asked if I would be able to get in, the guy was like yeah, no problem. I was a little suspicious and my boy started laughing because it seemed like dude didn't even let me finish my question before he said yeah. He must have know how smooth I was and how I would add appeal to the club LOL. My thought was we would stand in line and enter because the main reason we were going to do bottle service was to ensure we get in with what we were wearing. Come to find out, we were entertaining bottle service because we are old and they wanted to ensure they had a place to sit down. So we tell them we want to get a table and this is when we get to see the staff in action. Up to this point, we only see out front security dude and a lady letting people in at a slow pace. They go get someone to arrange our table and they walk us in. The dude that walks us in is very professional. I thought he was walking us into a safe deposit box in a vault the way he handled us. It was nice. We get in and there is a section to our right of younger people, mid 20's it turned out and 2 were having a birthday. They were pretty mellow but they were coupled up. Once the single women started to join the party, it was a whole different vibe. Table was a $850 spend which I thought was a bit much for this place. I mean, it's in the MGM but it isn't Vegas which was only $150 more. I got Uncle Nearest because supporting black businesses is important to me and a bottle of Grey Goose because we don't drink Tequilla and we love Grey Goose. We asked for ginger beer, cranberry juice, orange juice and sprite. We didn't get the ginger beer at first but we did get ginger ale. Eventually they brought out the ginger beer but that took a while. However, that didn't matter because it took even longer to bring out the spirits. I don't remember the woman's name but she was a good server. She was reasonably attentive considering it seemed like she had a lot of tables to attend to. There were times we had to stop her as she walked by because we needed something. She was obviously preoccupied with what the other table asked of her but we also needed something so I stopped her and asked if they had stir straws that you get in rock glasses because we had full size soda straws but only rock glasses and that don't work well. She did get some straws cut for us in a timely manner. I'm just going to come right out and say it. There were way too many dudes in there. I don't know if it was more balanced at one point and the women were just like, nah and rolled out but I hope they weren't just letting people in because they were in line. I am a compassionate person and I understand it's a struggle to get into some clubs at times but you have to keep the balance. I know you want to make money and dudes spend money but they spend more money if women are in there. I guess some money is better than no money but I think it taints the brand. I'm not pressed to go back because it had to be 11 guys to 1 woman. Now, we weren't out for that but the ratio is still the appeal. The DJ was pretty good. I don't remember when he actually started spinning because I was focused on the game and didn't notice him til the TV went off which I'm guessing is when he got up there. I hope my vision wasn't that focused on the game that I didn't see a DJ standing right there but there wasn't really much of anything to watch but the game unless I wanted to watch a club full of dudes watch the 6 women dancing together on the dance floor. Most of the people dancing were couples that look like they came together and groups of girls. I saw two girls dance with what seemed like randoms but everyone else was just standing around. I guess they were taking just a break from gambling. It wasn't a bad experience but it wasn't one that makes me want to go back anytime soon. If this service was in a different place or if it was a better night the review would be slightly different. They can't help that I chose to come out on this specific date but it was a Friday and we did stay til they kicked us out. Yup! The old dudes shut that piece down! LOL.

The bar is more on the upscale side and considering the clientele of The Watergate Hotel, it is fair to assume its guests, customers, and clients are not the type to spend hours into the morning at a bar. So for planning purposes, place this rooftop bar on your first stop if doing a bar tour in the city. Overall a very good experience. I will continue to visit this bar when staying as a guest at this hotel and on random nights on weekends in the city.

Their mojito is exactly how it should be: super refreshing, light, and not overly sweet. I also tried the frozen piña colada, and it genuinely transports you with every sip. So good. Food-wise, you really can't go wrong. The yuca & tostones basket is a must every time - perfectly crispy with a slight tang from the sauce that keeps you going back for more. I've had both the chicken and beef empanadas, and adding a little of the sauces they serve with them just brings everything together. I was a little hesitant about the maduros envueltos en tocino (plantains wrapped in bacon), but they completely surprised me - in the best way. Sweet, savory, and honestly addictive. And the Cuban sandwich? Top notch. You can tell they've really nailed the bread, which makes all the difference. Everything also comes with a side of greens in a light vinaigrette, which balances things out so you don't leave feeling too heavy. The vibe is lowkey with dim lighting and always great music playing - perfect for a date night or just catching up with friends. The servers are always very attentive and polite, which makes the experience even better. They also have a separate smoke room where you can wind down with a Cuban cigar, and the prices are pretty reasonable. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to.

As more people came in the music got louder and louder and I remember how much I liked this vibe when I was younger and it was funny how much I wasn't a fan of it now. The drinks were good I got the white flag which tasted like tamarind with a smooth after taste from the vanilla. For the food. We ended up only really looking the empanadas and the guac, I would pass on the octopus the flavor tasted pretty off. I eat a lot of octopus and it tasted like it wasn't stored properly. If you are looking for a place with a lot of energy and a slightly younger working professional crowd, it's a nice spot. I think some people were secretly smoking inside though and it ended up triggering my asthma so be aware of that if you have asthma.
