Visited for the first time last Wednesday evening while in SF for an event. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon entering you can't help but notice how quaint and beautiful the atmosphere is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a beautiful place to spend the evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was good, drinks were great and the DJ was 10/10! Our table of 4 turned to 6 when some friends decided to join us and everyone had a great time and enjoyed their meals. I am not a cigar smoker but I still had a wonderful experience and would return again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I specifically came for the live salsa music and social dancing, which was incredible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I visited on a Friday night and arrived just as the band was beginning to set up. The salsa dance floor was empty at first, so I explored the entire space, which was huge. There were separate sections: a salsa area, an outdoor patio where people were enjoying cigars, a bar area, and restaurant seating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The band sounded fantastic - they started playing around 9pm and performed for hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a lively crowd of dancers, and it grew super packed later in the night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It seemed beginner-friendly, but there were definitely some incredible, experienced dancers as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I met quite a few regulars, who sang praises of the salsa scene here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can check your coat for $3 at the entrance of the dance floor, which was helpful. The cocktails were strong and decently priced. I had a great time dancing to the live music and would definitely visit again! read more

Came here on a Saturday night with some friends and ordered a few drinks. Artie is a bartender here and she makes absolutely wonderful drinks! She takes her time on each drink and it shows.

The guy in charge of cigars was rude and not helpful. I asked what he recommended in Terms of light flavors since I was new to cigars, he said I don't know what to tell you. Everyone has a different palate. Like explain to me a beginner friendly cigar instead of being a douche. I was taking my time asking questions and he kept rushing me saying I have other sales to make right now so if you want you can pick from these cheaper ones at the bottom. Our server for drinks was slow. When I saw her go to the bathroom and not wash her hands we bounced. The salsa was good tho. read more

We came here post dinner for a drink and cigars. We found a few tables next to each other and set up. The humidor has great cigars according to the guys as the women sat and waited for them to come back. They have food but we already ate so we didn't order food but ordered drinks. This is a nice cigar spot to come to and we will come back again. read more

We had a terrible experience at Cigar Bar. We were charged a $20 cover per person after being told there would be a place for us to sit. Once we got inside, the staff completely changed their story and told us there were no seats available and that we would have to stand wherever we could, even separately. If you're charging people an entry fee based on the promise of seating, you need to honor that. Otherwise, it feels like a bait-and-switch. We would never have paid the cover if we'd been told the truth upfront. Very disappointing experience and poor customer service. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're okay paying just to stand around with no guarantee of the experience you were promised. read more

Context: paid $20 for to attend the Portugal v. Colombia match. I've been here before for my brother's bachelor party. This was the main reason for considering this option for my World Cup watch party experience. It was terrible, and I would not recommend anyone visit this establishment with any goal other than to smoke a cigar and get a drink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were two screens for the event, and neither were large enough for the size of the room/number of occupants.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]One room was constantly 5-10 seconds ahead of the other, so one room would know if an event like a goal or corner kick occurred before the other.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] At one point, some patrons decided to open the game on their phone to get more up-to-date information. During half time and the second water break, the broadcasts were interrupted by a notification to switch channels to an MLB broadcast. This notification blocked the entire screen and the room had to chant to get any bartender/management assistance. In order to get a seat, you had to grab a chair from across the room/building and seat yourself. No table, no waiting service. If you did that, you HOPED you could get a spot to see the screen. On top of that, I believe I had the worst drink I've had in my 11 years of drinking. I know what a Henny and Coke tastes like, and it was like an E.J with RC Cola if I'm being gracious. Long story short, don't go here for any event other than the one your friend invited you to out of pure obligation. Thanks. read more

The word "cigar" should be removed from their name. The humidor was extremely small and the selection of cigars was very limited. The greeter was extremely rude. He had a take it or leave it attitude. Only one of the two women bathroom stalls was operational and the toilet paper dispenser was on the floor. read more

Me and my family came to the cigar bar after dinner. When we enter the lounge we were greeted by front door staff. Staff were friendly and polite. We found a place to sit. The humidor has some great choices of cigars. We looked over the menu they have some wonderful food options. The cigar lounge also has a great drink menu. I had a whiskey sour which was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great ambiance and atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A great place to enjoy a cigar, watch the game, have a good drink and food. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoyed this place the salsa music and band was amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I enjoyed my cigar although no one could answer my questions. No knowledge of cigars. Not even the manager. The customer service is a one the staff and the manager need training on hospitality and professionalism. The food was gross .. OMG! Do better with the quality of food please. read more

This is a really great restaurant in the city! I was invited here for a birthday brunch and cigars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really like the fact that they had big screen TVs inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So even if you wanted to enjoy a good cigar you could still watch the playoff games. Their food menu is limited but mighty. The items we tried for brunch or crab cakes and bacon wrapped shrimp. The mini chicken sliders are definitely something to try. I ended up ordering the beef empanadas which were nicely sized and had a great dipping sauce. The drinks were pretty good. And the house Rose is something that I quite enjoyed. Definitely believe that this would be a great place to come to during the week as the service staff is pretty attentive. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice music,Drinks,Food,Cigars and Service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]BUT I think they should really really consider on adding some ventilation on their dance floor area, it's way too hot in there and just makes it uncomfortable to be there dancing, it gets too heated you, NO BUENO.. I'm sure adding an AC will make it 10xs better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I came here with my sister and their spouses and we had a great time. They have food, a full bar, and dance lessons with music. I didn't stay because I'm still recovering from surgery, but this spot is lit. The food was so good and so were the drinks. The Brussels sprouts were quite good. So were the tacos. And those drinks. This spot was very clean and filled up throughout the evening. We got our food in a timely fashion. The waitress answered my questions about our food and they did quite well. I probably wouldn't return because in all honesty, I don't get to this part of San Francisco often. But if in the area, I'm going. And I will let my friends know about this spot. It was truly a joy to go there! I look forward to a return visit. read more

Attending a conference at the Moscone center this week in SF. We wanted to enjoy a couple of cigars post dinner and came here. Lovely outdoor courtyard. Live jazz music till 11. The humidor was one of the smallest I've seen. But was able to pick a nice one. My Father Nicaraguan binder & wrapper. Medium body. Nice smooth smoke. Good service at the bar. We enjoyed Basil Hayden bourbon. Very friendly patrons we had conversations with many people sitting near us. Huge plus is they close at 2:00 AM. I'll be back next time I'm in town. read more

I love a good cigar and having a cigar in San Francisco, with live music, the most diverse talent I have seen in a hot one. Yes, please!! It was salsa night, and the talent was stunning! Wildly diverse crowd of lovely ladies, dancing, and enjoying the night. It was a thing of beauty. The hostess, Maria, is adorable and super nice to chat with. I felt like she was really helpful with my cigar selection. She suggested a Montecristo Platinum, to pair with the whiskey my buddy was drinking. It was nice to get a solid cigar suggestion. We both enjoyed the smoking experience, and the cigars were smooth, peppery, and just right. Our server, Sara, was fantastic! She was fun to chat with, and honest about the menu items we were thinking of ordering. She made sure we had our drinks as quickly as possible, considering it was completely packed in there. She did a really good job, and she's very friendly, chatty, and a cool cat. We just needed some appetizers and didn't get a chance to order from the dinner menu, but everything sounds delish! Duck Fat Papa Bravas: How do you see duck fat on the menu, know it's fried, and not order it? I can't say cause we killed these! Super crispy exterior, cooked through on the inside, and served up with a spicy aioli. Simple, but executed accurately. Very good. Chicken Flautas: Not bad, but not great. I definitely would suggest a more aggressive seasoning on the chicken and some more salt. It lacked flavor, and that punch of spice to go with the crunchy cabbage and the sour of the lime. The drinks were pretty solid too. My buddy had 3 whiskeys, he loved every drop, and overall, the tab wasn't too bad for two dudes having a night on the town. This is now my go-to cigar bar when I am in the city. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It may be a nice restaurant and salsa venue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But Kenny downstairs is a jerk. I was charged 20$ at door which is rea[[HIGHLIGHT]]sonable if you are going salsa dancing but I was just going to have a cigar. Upon entering the cigar bar are there were no seats. I then stood waiting for 10 minutes until I asked a barmaid who explained I needed to check in with Kenny for a seat. I found Kenny and explained that I had hoped to just enjoy a cigar, but that there were no seats available... he said, do you always walk into a Restaurant and just sit down... I said to him, no but that I have never been seated in a cigar bar which is what I thought this was. He very testily again responded again that he couldn't understand why I would expect to be seated in a restaurant without checking in with the manager. So I got a little angry and said look man, I laid down 20$ upstairs, at no time was I told that I was entering a restaurant -they said the cigar bar was downstairs. I then asked him why he was being a dick? He said "that's it you are done". I told him, I'd happily leave when he refunded my $20. In his defense he walked me upstairs and gave me $20. So... long story short. This is probably a cool place, but it isn't a place to enjoy a cigar[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. PS. I don't drink and am a threat to nobody at 60 years old. I did match Kenny's style of communication which was rude, so I certainly didn't help the situation. If I may offer some advice -Don't be like Kenny in life y'all. read more

This is my favorite bar in the city. The vibe is great, and I especially love the live salsa music on Friday and Saturday nights. They have a good selection of cigars to choose from, and a semi-outdoor smoking room to keep the smoke away from the other rooms in the bar. The food menu is surprisingly good, and the service is generally good too. Such a fun spot to hang out any night of the week. read more

I've been getting into the world of cigars, and looking for a unique date night activity, so Cigar Bar was an obvious choice. We got there on a Friday night around 10pm, and the place was busy and lively. $15 cover charge, which they charge after 9pm, so if you want to avoid that, come earlier. Checked-in with the hostess, and a outdoor table wasn't available right away, but the superstar Enrique was able to find us a table where we could enjoy our cigars. Enrique was very helpful, gave us suggestions on what cigars pair well with what we were drinking, giving us different price pint options, top notch customer service, he really made the experience amazing. At our table, our server Tara was amazing and kept the drinks flowing. Both Tara and Enrique, really made coming here well worth it. I haven't experienced that level of customer of service in a long time, very refreshing and elevated the experience. Be sure to wear clothes that you don't mind smelling like cigar smoke. They do a lot of private parties, which makes this a unique option for celebrations. Can't wait to be back again soon read more

Great place for after dinner cigars. There is a small line and then a $15 cover. You head down some stairs, find a table, and light up. The wait staff will take your drink orders and you just get to chill with your group. I loved how diverse and eclectic the vibe was through the place. Every one came in from wherever. Could have been a nice dinner, just something casual off the street. It made people watching so interesting. If you didn't bring your own cigar, they have some you can purchase in store. read more

Happy to have this spot re-opened after a lengthy Hiatus. This is the second time here, but this time it was packed! Friday night in the city! What a unique and happening spot. The quadruple threat: live music and dancing, elevated foodie selections, full bar with crafty cocktails and of course CIGARS! I felt like I was in Manhattan, or Miami, or the French quarter... the live 10 plus piece Latin band complete with horn section and requisite percussion/ rhythm section, were pumping out finger popping, hip shaking, silky sexy salsa. Stogies in the middle terraced section were a lite bring that warm leathery smoke to add more flavah to the surroundings like a movie set or concerts smoke machine, but it smelled amazing! Cocktails were reasonable. The staff working their tail feathers off were efficient and super friendly. Forgot your smokes? No worries they have a solid selection at the bar to choose from including cutters and matches with wood splints for those fatties that take a bit to get going. Unless you are smoking or got their early enough to secure a table , it was literally standing room only. The crowd was quintessential SF... eclectic, all ages, sizes, races and genders. All partying like it was December 31 about 11 pm in 1999. Hard not to have a good time here! We needed to Kill an hour prior to driving to SFO to pick up #1 son. A couple of old fashions and a Padron limited 1929 later, we bounced into the crisp cool autumn evening. But like Ahhhnold...."I'll be back!" read more

Extremely cute spot, the decor and space transports you to Europe (or what I imagine Europe would be). A friend of ours just came back from a whirlwind trip to Berlin and was so excited to have found a spot of comparable atmosphere. The bartenders are super friendly as are the cigar...tenders? I'm not a cigar person usually, but we were given an extremely comprehensive explanation of our options, their pairings, and how the whole system worked. Definitely newbie-friendly, not snobby at all. The food and drinks are so much better than I expected. They serve perhaps my favorite espresso martini in the Bay Area right now (sorry former favorite, wilder). They use an almond cold brew they make as an ingredient and a chilled glass, served up. Highly recommended, called Darkness. The Gin Fizz on the other hand, I could t finish--too much bitterness from some ingredient I couldn't identify (not from an alcohol, maybe too much pith from a fruit?) The dance floor is lively and the band is excellent as well. The outdoor area was extremely popular on a Friday night, so be prepared, though we didn't have to wait at all for a table or anything. Downside is that cover was $10. Why? That's why I'm docking a star--it's absolutely ridiculous that so many places making enough money off the food, drinks, and food times, feel the need to charge cover. Leaves a bad first impression and I'm less likely to order that second or third drink. read more

We were at this location last night and the only reason why we stopped here was because we were waiting for our dinner reservation up the street at Cotognia. Our dinner reservation was at 8:15 pm and we sat down in the bar area, around 7:45 pm. Our plan was to have one drink and leave - we put our drink orders in immediately and paid right away. The place wasn't that busy and the service was so slow. The bartender didn't really seem to care and he was taking his sweet time making drinks and our ticket seemed to get lost along the way. 8:15 pm rolls around and our drinks are still not at our table - at this point, we had to leave and ask for a refund. Poor service and I wouldn't recommend coming here. read more

I loved the ambiance of this place. They have a lot of different seating options. Outdoor and indoor. My friends and I went to Cigar Bar & Grill to eat and then attend a salsa lesson. I thought the food was really food. We got a few of the small bites to try. When we ordered they had a special going on which was awesome! I thought the empanadas were really good I liked the flavor and they had lots of cheese in them. I was also a fan of the duck fat papa bravas. They were nice and crispy. The space was amazing. They had a nice dance area with a bar and live music after the dance class. This space had really good vibes. I definitely want to check it out again sometime and try some other items from the menu. The menu is quite limited though which was the only downside. It would have been nice to have a couple more options to choose from. read more

Amazing atmosphere on a Friday night. It's usually salsa night and they have a live band. Make sure to enter before 9pm if you wanna avoid the 15$ cover. We came here for the salsa, drinks and cigars but the food was unexpectedly amazing. Everything we ordered off the menu was delicious - the vegetarian polenta cake, the beef and cheese empanadas and the chicken sliders. Only minor complaint is that the pitcher of punch could have been more potent but for 60$, it was good value for money. Service was pretty good for how crowded it was. 5/5 for me and I'm definitely planning to go back! read more

Super rude bartender, awful service. Tall chubby guy with longish dark hair, was an absolute dbag. Super rude. I waited the longest I've waited in a very, very long time for a drink. Sorry, but waiting over 10 + minutes to even get noticed and asked to be served a simple drink just ain't it. Not here, not ever. Made eye contact, smiled, said hello, waived, tried my best, to get said bartenders attention multiple times. Didn't work. He continued to ignore me and serve other people who got to the bar way after I did. This ain't NYC bruh, save your shit attitude. Slams my drink down without a word when I finally get it , spilling some, and closed out my tab without asking. He was not only rude to me, but also super rude to everyone else in our large party the entire night. Making for a weird vibe and overall shitty experience. Hey man, save your bad attitude- you should be happy you have a job and that people are ordering your sub-par drinks. It's cool though, we just won't ever return. read more

My first time around here was an okay time. The food and staff was great and the staff was welcoming . For some reason the customer appreciation and care dropped within the year that I had last tried this place out . Bartenders don't tend and even got made fun of for asking where the cutters were for the cigar I had just purchased. No instructions on where to light up a cigar . I was pointed out towards the stairs instead of the outdoor patio within the establishment. Next thing I knew I was not welcomed back as I "attempted to light up the cigar indoors". Not sure if it was a stunt to kick out customers and wrap it up for the night , but it was very disappointing to not be able to pick up the sweater that was set down on the table or drink my paid drink. Very disappointing, will not be returning. read more

Just had wonderful dinner at CBG tonight. WOW! The food was amazing. We ordered guacamole with chips that came still hot (very nice!), the TRUFFLE FRIES- best I've ever had! They were crunchy but not dry on the inside and brown enough-not overcooked that were just AMAZING! The steak was a really good portion and tasty that came with potatoes and cauliflowers- cooked with butter, so yummy. The octopus with sausage pieces was delish. The room we ate in has warm Spanish interior, it's hard to find a place like that nowadays. Gotta check out the dance room across the court, a different atmosphere, so cozy and people were having fun dancing there! and on a Thursday night? The dance room was packed. If you love cigars, the court in the middle is chill! Yeah, I'll go back there again. read more

As a passionate cigar smoker, someone who's traveled many places and has visited many of the fine cigar lounges / bars our country has to offer, this particular cigar lounge has been absolute dog sh*t! 1. $30 for 2 to enter 2. The manager there talked to me like I diddnt know what a cigar was 3. Every single buffoon that worked there had no clue what was going on 4. Absolutely crowded (elbow to elbow) seating 5. The food tasted as if it was microwaved from a kid cuisine frozen meal 6. Dirty. Cigar butts everywhere, ash was on the table they gave me. 7. We ordered drinks and it took me and my lady telling the servers 6 (yes 6) times telling them we ordered drinks and an hour and 15 minutes waiting until we got up, showed our receipt to the bartender and demanding our drinks were made right then there for us to get them read more
