Infamous cigar bar masquerading as a restaurant. I was back in NYC for business and my buddies wanted to meet here to reconnect and enjoy stogies n drinks. Rev Al Sharpton holding court in the intimate seating area by the front window. I breezed by his bodyguard to shake his hand and trade brief small talk. My party of 5 got seated in the far back corner table. Ordered several rounds of drinks, as I gifted my buddies some Cuban cigars. It was a busy weeknight and the place was packed. Service was not great and waitress was very cavalier as we racked a nice tab. We also ordered dinner. I went against my instincts and ordered the tuna steak which was fabulous. Here's the kicker I asked for the bill and there was an "expected per person cigar charge" because we had our own ...not an issue. I paid the bill and told the waitress to give each of my buddies a cigar equivalent to their per person minimum..........would you believe I got big time attitude and resistance. I told her to get me the menu, and I read her their policy verbatim that states minimum per person cigar purchase. I paid the fee and am entitled to x number of cigars. She whirled away, came back and tossed the cigars on the table. read more

I like this place a lot. Service was great, food was excellent, had a good selection of cigars, bit on the expensive side, even for NYC. Great vibe though but also the tables seemed a bit tight. But I highly recommend this place. Steak sandwich A Rigatoni Bolognese B Drinks B Cigar selection B read more

I visited Club Macanudo for the first time on March 21, 2026 My experience was just okay, so I'm giving 3 stars. The atmosphere was nice, but the service was disappointing. I had to flag down different servers each time I needed something, twice for drink orders and again just to get the check. Because of the lack of attention, I didn't feel comfortable ordering another drink and honestly just wanted to leave. I also never received water, while guests who arrived before and after me were given water without asking. It made the service feel inconsistent and inattentive, which took away from what could have been a much better experience. read more

Club Macanudo - Cohiba cigar - Lounges Near Me - New York, New York

This place was so cool, since I knew I was coming to New York City and being a cigar smoker this is one of the places I have always wanted to check out. The crowd here is everyone from casual to dress to impress. The staff was very helpful on helping me pick out the right cigar to match the right cocktail. This was by far my favorite cigar bar I have ever been to. I met some really cool people and some even more amazing staff members. I didn't have food but the drinks were amazing and the cigars were plentiful in selection. I LOVED this. read more

Amazing spot for a cigar. Just want to relax and have a good time? This is your spot. To add to it, the food is fantastic. I prefer the nachos. Simple but fantastic. Service is good for the most part. There are some servers that are not great at all. One in particular was the one to downgrade the rating from a 5 to 4. But for the most, they are fantastic. read more

Club Macanudo - Super Nachos - Lounges Near Me - New York, New York

My first time. Food, service and ambiance were great. The $20 cut fee was not. Thursday night crowd. Similar to Carnegie Club, I like Carnegie more as it is one big lounge vs Mac's inside, outside rooms. The outside room seemed more active and close to the bar. Despite our reservations we could not sit there. Soho Cigar, Carnegie Club and even Hudson Book Club are in my opinion a cut above. No pun intended. I'll try it again and try and score a table closer to the action. read more

Club Macanudo - 3 men and an old guy. - Lounges Near Me - New York, New York

This was my first time here and I must say I was impressed. The ambiance was relaxed, very comfortable. The staff was very welcoming. We started out with drinks followed by appetizers and both were absolutely fantastic! I ordered what was called The Godmother which consisted of Tito's and Amaretto with lemon and it was spectacular! He enjoyed his drink as well- it had bourbon but I can't recall the name of his concoction. We ordered chicken quesadillas with french fries which he so gallantly fed me (how cute). We also shared the roasted chicken platter with vegetables. He had two great cigars for us to smoke so he had them cut & light them for us. My cigar was much milder than his and I enjoyed it. Club Macanudo did not disappoint. A lot of it had to do with the company I was with I guess. He kept it quite interesting, lol. The food, drinks & ambiance are indeed worth the trip to the city. read more

The only place I know in New York, where you can enjoy A perfectly grilled Filet Mignon, a drink of your choice, and a well fermented Cigar. Come right before 7p, to secure street parking near by (almost didn't want to share this tip ). The service here is top notch. The crowd is amazing, incredibly diverse, culturally and income wise. The food was delicious. The cigar choices are made from a menu, but you can approve your selection before smoking it. ( I do prefer a walk around a humidor, but the selections are high quality). Expect to pay for all the quality, but you get full value for the money. Great place for date with wife. read more

Ambiance: Leather chairs, dark wood surfaces, is every bit as warm and transporting. Food: The one thing we have yet to do here in all the times we have gone here - but will! Service: Excellent in regards to all the waitstaff in the lounge. We have been here several evenings to closing and ALL have been memorable & fantastic times. Their signature drinks are outstanding. People are dressed at the minimum of "business casual" [unlike "The Carnegie Club", what a joke - will review some other time]. The ventilation system is one of the best. A class act, all the way. If you/women are a non cigar smoker, you can vape or smoke a cigarette. Phillip & Lisa read more

First time there drinks and atmosphere were great and our server MD was excellent and 10/10 service.

The experience leading up to dinner was great. Great host setting was great. I noticed we had gotten our water and food and was just enjoying ourselves. When I noticed our waiter had not come back to our table. However, sitting next to us was a white group loud and obnoxious. However, he keep skipping over is to serve them. My water had been empty for 20 minutes old food still siiting on our table. I gave time before i had to flag someone down to remove the food. I then asked for the manager. Who then offered us a free drink I declined because im not here for free. I just want the same service of the other customers. However, my friend accepted the drink. The manager have me his card and asked could I email him about the situation. Then after the waiter brought water I laughed and left no tip. read more

Club Macanudo - a cigar on a glass table - Lounges Near Me - New York, New York

Club Macanudo is currently the premiere cigar lounge of New York City. Located at 63rd and Madison, it is in a prime neighborhood, Yorkville or the Upper East Side, and caters well to those who wish to have an upscale cigar lounge experience. You don't have to be a member to enjoy the Mac. Non-members can sit on the comfortable stools around the bar, unless at the invitation of any member seated at the tables by the bar or in the back of the house. Upon entry, one sees the front desk and comfortable lounge seating all around. A coat check and restrooms are across from the front desk and towards the lounge and bar area. One has to be prepared to pay the freight at this classy lounge with wood paneled walls burnished to bring out the fine woodgrain and lustre. There is a large screen in the bar area, but one hardly pays attention to it here. Brass and copper fittings around the well appointed and stocked bar further the refined statement. Check out the copper or brass surface of that bar! The Mac is where you can bring a Lady who will enjoy the air filtration and air handling to minimize the impact on her hair and clothing. I appreciate it as well. The Mac is where you can entertain clients, enjoy premium sticks, and enjoy the flavor and aroma of what you are smoking without it being choked out from ambient smoke. The Mac is not for those on a budget. The pours at the bar are admittedly too close to pinky pours at above average rates, but I note the pours are a little better if you are with members. They can make nearly whatever cocktail you desire and have a broad selection of wine and a few beers to compliment the vast liquor selection. They also have a good selection of cigars on the menu. Membership here at the Mac has its privileges. However, it is open to non-members every day, unless they have special events, like poker nights and benefits, or private events. Sometimes they have live music open to everyone. Otherwise, the kitchen is serving up good food for table service or at the bar. I have seen Grace at the bar for at least ten years and have always enjoyed her. So will you. Ask for the house made potato chips. They're fantastic! The only other lounge in NYC that rivals the Mac for elegance and class is the Carnegie Club, but the Mac is at the top for the City currently. It's open until around 1:30 or 2:00 AM, so you and your friends have time for those sticks and conversation. Club Macanudo is definitely for those of discriminating tastes and the pockets to back it up. Four and a half stars! read more

Reservation was simple to get on a Wednesday night. The hostess was friendly and informative. I am not a club member, and so the reservation requires a $40 spend, with $20 towards a cigar and $20 towards food/drink. The waitress came over once to take our cigar and drink order and never returned, except to bring us our cigars and drinks. We may have ordered food but the waitress didn't come back. Lots of old timers in the place, likely members, and they seemed to get good attention. Older crowd. Bit of an old Manhattan vibe. A round of drinks, and 3 cigars, and the bill was $240 plus tip, so expect to spend at least $100 a person for a drink and cigar. Pricey. Bathrooms need an update. Ventilation was great in the space, but was frigid. I kept my coat on. We ordered two old fashions and it was the worst old-fashioned I ever had. They muddle oranges and maraschino cherries into their old fashions which I've never seen in this classic drink, it made the drink entirely too sweet and because the orange was muddled, the drink was pulpy. I probably would've sent the drinks back had I known they were $40 a piece and had the waitress came back for a check in. TVs are a nice size. Bar stools are huge with a nice back and swivel, and there is a good size half circle bar. Chairs at tables were comfortable. Food at the other tables looked pretty good, but also everything is super pricey and given the drink and wait staff disappointment, I opted to not explore. Wouldn't go back, glad I tried it out. read more

Filled with delicious smoke from a wide variety of cigars, generally of excellent quality. Attentive waiters and waitresses and hosts and hostesses. Surprisingly delightful food menu as well. High-end whiskeys and spirits and a full bar. The cigar varieties offered on their combined food and tobacco menu favor Macanudo and Partagas as the name of the club might suggest, but they have a few offerings from other well-known labels. There's a $40 minimum per person of cigar purchases which means basically one or two cigars per person purchased at the establishment. They have a competent staff who will cut/punch and light your cigar with requisite skill. The place is noisy but people are playing cards and eating and enjoying themselves in the kind of smoky environment that just doesn't exist very much anymore and which I miss terribly. read more

I took a customer to dinner here at their suggestion. The restaurant has a very upscale men's club ambiance to it. Every table was packed out. I was one of the few people there who was not smoking a cigar. The Old Fashion drinks were ok. I actually got charged for 1 round more than we actually drank. My meal of Shrimp Cocktail (huge shrimp) and Grilled Filet accompanied by a glass of Bordeaux Castera was outstanding. I really enjoyed the food. A glass of Fonseca Tawny Port was my dessert. Needless to say, my clothes were saturated in cigar smoke. I had to use the steamer feature of the iron in my hotel room the next morning to get the smell out of my suit. read more

The experience is very classy and unique, however, you really have to be into cigars and that traditional club house feel. I'm not a big fan of smoke, but, they did have these lovely air filters that helped out with the smell. As for food and drink, top tier, classic American. The service is also extremely attentive and detailed. Something to consider: wear clothes you don't mind getting smelly. Dry cleaning will be required after to remove the smoke. read more

I've been coming here for years. Nothing better than putting on your nicest suit, sinking into a worn leather chair, lighting up a cigar, and drinking an ice cold martini (or Manhattan in my photo).

Club Macanudo - Apple Crisp - Lounges Near Me - New York, New York

Unfortunately the management and general management at Macanudos/Nyc are forces to reckon with. There is a serious aura of lack of respect for there patron/members. I've been a patron of Macanudos/nyc for a long time and a paying member for 2 years. Last week I was sitting at the bar having a drink and smoking a cigar when a woman who I've seen frequent the establishment numerous times was sitting at the another end of the bar decided to give me the finger. I was so insulted since this was rude/ disrespectful and unnecessary. By the way I'm sure the camera system at the bar has video of everything that took place. I approached the manager, explained to him what happened and his response was (isn't she a pretty girl) 2 days later she was at the bar. The level of respect at this establishment only for certain people. I'm a a paying member what happened to the level of respect that I deserve as a member and a human being. It doesn't exist. The next incident is disgusting. I was having dinner one night and my stomach wasn't feeling well. I needed to use the bathroom. There was a private member party happening in the back room where the public toilet is. I asked the general manager if I could use the bathroom and he refused to let me use it. he said it was a member party. My response was I'm a member also, I'm not feeling well can I use the toilet. He said no, use the toilet in the front. The one in the back is clean and the toilet in the front is smaller than a closet and it's always filthy. I left , not using the smaller bathroom fearful of diseases. At this time I had no place to go so I left trying to get into my car when I had an accident. It was the most embarrassing moment of my life. The next day I was subjected to jeering from some ignorant people that attend the establishment. Please be aware of the treatment you could receive from management, which is borderline abusive. If you wanna pay a lot of money to be disrespected, Macanudos's is you place. What kind of people don't allow someone who is ill to use the public facilities. Especially a paying member. Please be aware you may be the next victim. There is a complete late lack of managerial skills lacking at Macanudos's/Nyc beginning with the general manager. he has some deep rooted personal problems that prohibit him from effectively doing his job in my opinion Beware! read more

This place is so old school...I love it! Chill place to grab drinks, lunch and/or dinner while enjoying a nice cigar. I was introduced to this place by my sister and her husband who are regulars now (they have their own humidor there and receive 10% off their bill as a result). They warned me about taking their Yelp Dukedom away! Ventilation is quite good, even when it's packed. There is always a nice mix of male and female patrons of all different age ranges. People just seem to be in a good mood when they're there. And why not, right? The waitstaff is eager to accommodate and they provide great cigar suggestions (they have tons to choose from in case you left yours at home). And they make a mean dirty martini. Cool place for a date, Girls Night Out, or throwback cigar indulging with the boys. Puff puff... read more

It's good to see this New York City institution still around and that one can still smoke a cigar indoors. Upon arriving (without a reservation) they were very friendly and accommodating, and escorted us to a sofa in the back room. Server was prompt to bring us menus. When we ordered our cigars, she brought them in her hand, clipped the ends and handed them to us with matches. There was no presentation on a tray or anything, as in past years. We had to continually wave her down when we wanted something as well as the check. The check came in a dilapidated and dirty guest check holder that was well beyond usage. We also found the air filtration system not great at all. They did have a good crowd, glad to see business is doing well. read more
