Good cigars, good conversation and a relaxing friendly atmosphere. A pleasant way to spend an evening with friends!

This was not our first visit to cigar shenanigans, and I felt as though this visit was significantly less stock for cigars, although they have a very nice bar area. This is a great stop for cigar enthusiast to sit and have a cigar and have a drink or some scotch. read more

Such an eclectic cool place to hang and smoke a stubie and chase down a cold one! Wish we lived closer... What we would want to offer as our own atmosphere and vibe! Highly recommend. read more

Cigar enthusiasts are spoiled in NH with world class places like Twins Smoke Shop, and very good spots like Ash and Rhino, but the weak spot is being on the small side and usually being slammed. Cigar Shenanigans is a palace. The staff is awesome, the bar and drinks are great... but the building is the gem. It seems like an old restaurant like Chilis or the 9s turned into a cigar lounge, while still being inviting and warm. You walk in and to the right is an awesome bar with plenty of bar stools. If you don't want to sit at the bar, you can take a step down and sit in sort of a green house vibe with good seating. Or you can go toward the back of the building where there are plenty of booths and lounge chairs. There are enough tvs to be entertained if you want, but not feel overwhelmed like you're at a sports bar.., which is where I think the new owners of the old Cigar Emporium up the road from Shenanigans went wrong. Plus it's in North Conway! Have your significant other drop you at Shenanigans on the way to the outlets! read more

Staff was nice enough for an early part of the day with nobody really here. The place does have potential, but missed in many areas. I brought a coffee I was finishing up from down the road and was told I needed to leave it in car, even though I purchased about 4 cigars here and only wanted to smoke one. Seems they only want you to buy their liquor here. Aside from being told my outside beverage wasn't wanted which I can understand to some degree, this place is cluttered with torn and ripped pillows and leather seats. Not a lot of pride is taken in keeping it looking decent it seems. Perhaps if you are a local they treat you better or you just wouldn't care about its upkeep. Don't live anywhere near here so I wouldn't be back but even if I did live here I wouldn't spend my time or money here. Plenty of others from out of town have posted reviews about terrible staff and negative experiences. I can see what they mean once I walked in and dealt with my own experience. read more

I've only ordered products on line but every transaction was flawless. Penny and company are super fun to talk to. Check them out!

Very helpful and friendly staff! Beautiful humidor with nice selection, and helpful staff to guide you to try something different. Nice cocktail and drafts as well..Plenty of cozy leather chairs,and room,so you can spread out and find a spot to chill or chat.Unusually large space for a cigar lounge so give this a try! Great smoke suppression as well with the addition of several "filter" fans that work great! read more

My girlfriends and I stopped in trying to have a drink on our trip, we were pleasantly surprised by how much Shenanigans had to offer. We were greeted by the owner who was so friendly, given a little tour of the beautiful, spacious, and comfortable establishment, and got our drinks (reasonably priced and delicious). Amazing vibes, no judgement for the 6 ladies who had never smoked a Cigar, Valentino helped us pick a few cigars and laughed with us. This is a great place for anyone who knows how to have a good time, we felt so welcomed, safe and comfortable and will definitely make a point to return our next trip up. read more

It's like Cheers on steroids. Everybody may not know your name yet, but they treat you like they've known you all your life & you can smoke cigars! They have a fantastic walk in humidor with a huge selection of cigars and knowledgeable staff that will help you select the perfect cigar then you can go to the bar for a nice variety of mostly local beers on tap as well as scotch, whiskey, bourbon and much more as well as their own vintage of Woodford, Jack Daniels & Whistle Pig. You can sit at the nice size & comfortable bar where you can make new friends or watch sports ot classic movies or they have several areas with comfortable seats where you can socialize with your friends. I travel a LOT and this is absolutely my favorite cigar bar hands down. Other cigar bar owners should come here to see how it's done right. read more

My Husband and his groomsmen came in here and had a blast before they had to get ready for the wedding. I was told that they made a mean espresso martini and boy were they right. This place is amazing! I walked in and was completely wowed. I was very impressed by the amount of detail that was put in. We had a blast talking with Valentino. In fact that was a major selling point to my husband; he knew I'd get along great with him as we are very like minded. He is great at friendly banter and enjoys to talk. My only complaint is that we were leaving the area after the wedding so we could not stay long. If I lived here I am sure we'd become regulars. read more

Incredible cigar selection and make a mean drink but unfortunately staff and owner makes it a stiff, uncomfortable, Uptight and pretentious environment while trying to sell themselves as witty and antiestablishment. Phony as heck. This is a cigar bar where the cigars aren't what smells bad read more

Solid 5 stars. The owners work the whole place. One tends bar and the other works the front when you walk in the humidor. The humidor was filled with any brand I could want and not at crazy prices either. I picked my cigar had a nice chat with the owner who told me if I was going to have a drink I could add the cigar to my bar tab. So off to meet owner 2. Awesome guy who was running a good size bar. He said I looked like "Ray Donavan" so he gets 5 plus stars now lol I had 3 nice pours of Makers Mark and finished my cigar. On the way out I bought a golf shirt and a coaster his wife made. Shop and buy small peeps. And when in North Conway do not skip over this gem!! read more

Wish I could give 10 stars!! This place is always our first stop in North Conway we can't get enough . I don't smoke cigars but from going with someone who does they have a great selection to pick from . Drinks are incredible and many different options to pick from. The staff really is what keeps us coming back . The Cowboy at the bar is a hoot and load of fun he has us laughing till we leave . He makes one hell of a drink and always whips us up something different every time to try and we ALWAYS end up loving it . And I can't forget the sweet dogs they have there .. I mean what is better than a drink , cigar , and cute pups walking around? Nothing! Get to Shenanigans!! read more

Fortunately I stumbled up one this great cigar lounge while staying in the area. The best selection of cigars I have ever seen. Great sitting areas and full stocked bar. I enjoyed smoking with the therapy dogs and visiting with the locals and making new friends. The place is very clean and has a good air handling system. Highly recommend for the serious cigar smoker. read more

I see many comments about having rude staff here. From what I have experienced and seen, it has all been playful banter that may be called teasing. For the snowflakes out there, try throwing some playful banter back instead of being insulted. You might get a chuckle and a free drink. This is a routine stop of mine every winter as I travel North to ski. The selection is fantastic, there being common cigars all the way up to boutique ones. The bartenders always whip up a great drink and there are friendly dogs that roam. read more

SAVED MY LIFE! Got caught on a bike trip last Aug by trop storm Isaias. Spent 3 days at the Quality Inn next door without power Cigar Shenanigans kept me alive with a great selection of high end sticks and well hydrated with top self beverages. THANK YOU boyz for the life ring at my time of need! read more

To say the owner of this establishment is rude - is an understatement. He is cringy,Pompous, rude and bizarre all Rolled in one. We were spending money on drinks and cigars and the service was horrible. We were a party of 9 and the place was EMPTY- he should have been thrilled to have the business. We couldn't get out go there fast enough. Don't waste your time or money. He needs to sharpen his customer service skills. He has ZERO class. read more

Cigar smokers paradise! I found this place while riding up in the White Mountains for a couple of days, a great place to get out of the heat after a long morning blasting about & obligatory Mt Washington visit. I'll be basing out of Conway next trip just to spend evenings here. Good selection, reasonably priced, great bar & their own barrel of Woodford! The place is huge, lots of great seating areas, card tables, you name it. Well worth the trip. read more

Bartender is a complete chauvinistic a-hole. Here for a wedding, came the previous night and spent a lot of $$$. One of our female members of our party was asked to leave because she was helping her sister get a safe ride home (who wasn't allowed in because "she was too emotional"), and because of her "attitude", wasn't let in. We had a great first night with our bar tender Ben. Tonight was a completely different experience (Ben wasn't behind the bar) The treatment we experienced was uncalled for and a serious male power trip. This place is fine if you want cigars, but the only reason they get any business is because they're the only ones open past 10pm in this area. We'd rather stay at our hotel, then be treated as we were tonight. read more

It's been four months since this review and I still wish I could give this place a sixth star. My favorite watering hole on the planet - we'll see y'all this weekend! read more

Its good to see this cigar bar up and running, especially during times like these. However, we didnt have the best experience. They threw our pal out for having an expired ID. Maybe they should have looked the other way ! We were just a few travelin' rug merchants gettin banged up just lookin for a place to let loose! Smh read more

This place is awesome.. but...the owner will make you feel unwanted and will Hover over you the entire time you're trying to enjoy your smoke ..I will not be returning because of him. Advice.. get your cigar Togo and enjoy it outside like we did! read more

Nice layout, comfy chairs, cigar humidifier room had a good selection, prices are reasonable. Big draw back is the use smoke diffusers versus circulation of fresh air. You and your clothes will reak of cigar smoke unlike venues with proper circulation. read more

Best cigar shop/bar I have ever been in, hand down! Do yourself a favor and stop in, huge selection, good people, great atmosphere.

Beneath the towering White Mountains lies a cavernous sanctuary for brothers and sisters of the tobacco leaf. The best part is, shenanigans are strongly encouraged. Panelled in warm wood and extending in depth beyond my wildest imagination, this expansive bar and lounge tickled all of my fancies. The welcoming purveyor, Valentino, could not have been more hospitable and within minutes I felt he was a long-lost uncle (still possible, unconfirmed). The bar is bathed in a much appreciated natural sunlight, something often missing from cigar lounges, and features an open seating environment with a full alcohol array. As you wander through Shenanigans, the place opens up into a sweeping oasis of comfort, sporting couches and chairs of all shapes and sizes. This truly is a place you could bring many people, get into all forms of shenanigans, and have ample room to do so. Other features include poker tables, a patio, and weekly events. Randomly prevalent to a strong degree is imagery from the FXX animated series Archer, which they screen weekly as it airs. I wish I'd gotten the opportunity to inquire further about this odd union, but I suppose if I owned a bar I'd screen Lost every week whether people liked it or not (Dharma Initiative toros for the boys). If you love dogs, Shenanigans is also dog friendly, including a house pupper (see images) who naps in the smoke-hazed beams of light streaming in from the arched windows. All in all, I will absolutely return and bring along hoards of fellow shenanigan-loving-cigar-smoking patrons. read more

Had a couple nice cigars. Their whiskey selection was great, had a couple of nice drinks after we ate down the street. The bartender was awesome as well! Very cool spot for an after dinner drink and cigar!! read more

Just do it. I've never seen such a large and comfortable dedicated cigar lounge before. Make it so!

business owner was a totally unprofessional and rude. His name is Valentino. I have NEvER experienced anything like this. HE only carded the women in our group and not the men. Accused us of stealing his cutters. I was in shock by his rude behavior. Place was empty in a Friday night. Totally clear why. jerk! read more

My home away from home in NH. Penny is amazing. The cigars in her humidor are epic. There is a bar, large lounge and outdoor patio, which I love as you can enjoy a smoke and decompress. Through the pandemic Penny's Fb posts always gave me a smile. If you smoke cigars and are within 50 miles, you will be well served, make the stop. read more

it is and always will be my favoritej in New Hampshire notwithstanding recent changes. the place is sumptuous . Great selection maybe not for the thin skinned but always fun and relaxing.. An escape from the drama in our lives read more

Masks are NOT required at this location. We were told repeatedly we did not to have wear masks. Staff was NOT wearing masks. There were dogs walking around, but they were quiet, not bothering anyone. Cocktails were really good, as was the cigar selections. Will be back to try again after Covid This review is solely my opinion. read more

Great place! I don't smoke but my husband enjoyed a beer and a cigar. I had an awesome espresso martini. The bartender was awesome!

OK, so we usually come up to North Conway for New Year's Eve. This time, I came across Shenanigans and wow... what a cool place. They've got a good selection of sticks, a few different lounge areas that are all comfy, and a nice bar. Their drink menu is great and the people were super nice. This is a must stop if you're in the area and want a great place to enjoy a drink or cigar. read more

If you enjoy a cigar, do not drive by. The owners are experts and the dogs are worth the stop. Loved being there and felt like family the moment we walked in. The fact that one of the dogs are from Delaware just made it that much more perfect! We are returning to buy a box of cigars. read more

I Went with a diverse group of five people, we were a mix of business owners and professionals within various fields, all responsible citizens and family oriented people. We went to this cigar lounge to happily spend our money at this place. But unfortunately ended up leaving within 3 minutes because the lady that greeted us (older white lady with glasses), was incredible rude and mean, and if im honest gave me the impression of being racist. I don't succumb to this behavior, which is born out of hate and ignorance, so after her rudeness, which happened twice, I decided to leave and we all did just that. I will NEVER return to this place and I will make sure all my colleagues, friends and family know about them and my experience there. I don't know how she treats regulars, but if you're from out of town and don't look like her ( you know what I mean), then don't go there, or go at your own risk. This lady is HORRIBLE and by extension so was our experience at Cigar Shenanigan. BY THE WAY: According to Webster's Dictionary, the meaning of "Shenanigan" is: mischief, prankishness, deceit, trickery. "Who in the world would name their business with the word Shenanigan"? Enough said... read more

One of the highlights of my trip to North Conway. Best cigar bar that I've ever been to.

If you've ever supported the US Military, Cops, Fire fighters or first responders, this is a place to avoid. The owner actively kicked out my group of US military who walked in and politely asked to see cigars and the told us to F**K Off and Suck a D*ck. This is not a small business I would support and would appreciate your support in the importance of supporting our countries first responders read more

The woman that worked there was incredibly rude and unhelpful. Weirdly enough it was also the first establishment that we've visted that has a requirement that you take your mask off when you go into the humidor. Finally, we did not appreciate having a dog constantly bark at us for just walking around. read more

Visited with a Bachelorette party of non-cigar smokers. They were very welcoming and babied us through picking out cigars and getting us comfortable. The space is gorgeous and bright. We sat outside and had a lovely female waitress who took very good care of us. We were obnoxious and they didn't give us a hard time about it. Very fun experience! read more

Love this place and the owners are great. Highly recommend! One of our favorite places to go when in North Conway.
