    a sign for governors cigar lounge
    Tim Tc A.

    An interesting "hideout" just off the main drag (Pardon the pun) in downtown Westerville. I discovered it while on my way to visit another business nearby and decided to pop in and take a look. There are a couple of comfortable seating areas for lounging in rooms adjacent to the main sales room. It features a variety of pipe and other smoking supplies, and a spacious and well stocked walk-in humidor. The operator is quite courteous and helpful. Worth a visit if you are into cigar or pipe culture.

    This is by far my favorite cigar bar in central Ohio. Come in, find a reasonably priced cigar, and enjoy it in one of their comfortable rooms. The service and selection is always awesome. Check them out on social media since they announce special events and sales that way. Live music and patio seating in the summer is really nice too.

    First let me say thanks for the hospitality I received. I will say the cigar lounge in my opinion…read moreis slightly below average. However it has adequate indoor and outdoor seating. It had very limited but extra large TV's . The bar seating was ok not great. The drinks are overpriced but it was explained to me it had to be because of the current state laws. The humidor selection was small but seemed to be sealed off perfectly. If you purchase a cigar there isn't a $10 cut fee. Cigar prices are about average for Ohio. The staff is very welcoming and considerate. The lounge is very far away from the downtown area so if you are there for a conference you will have to travel a long way. An uber or cab will be expensive. However they are very close to the Hollywood casino... Right across the street. There weren't a lot of people there at the time I arrived so I couldn't tell if the filtration system was adequate. I didn't see a lot of indoor tables if you wanted to set up and do work or eat. However they have plenty outside. I didn't use the Wi-Fi but I'm sure it's adequate. They have food truck on the side if you want food. Due to the location, small humidor and the lack of TV's I would give it a 4 out of 10. If you are travelling in... there aren't a lot of lodging options around nor other activities or restaurants. Its not located in a community it's far away from everything except a casino. But the staff are great and had some art hanging on the walls.

    The area around Royale Cigar Lounge looks a little rough which is why I was so surprised by the…read moreinside of the Lounge. It's modern, well-kept, and clean. I'd expect to find something like this in the middle of Chicago - not next to a strip club. This is a surprisingly cool hidden gem in the area. They have a limited bar with virtually zero mixers and a walk-in humidor with cigars available for purchase. PROS: -Comfortable, armed lounging chairs and couches make up the majority of all of the seating here. All of the seating is very group-focused (four chairs face a table, etc.) for groups of friends. I would say I would have been uncomfortable smoking a cigar here myself; there's really no seating designed for single-person lounging, and I would have felt bad taking up a full four-person spread. -If you need to do work or are hanging solo, they have WiFi for customers. -Bathrooms are clean too. While the women's was out of paper towels, I snagged some out of the men's (two single-room restrooms). Both bathrooms looked surprisingly clean. -Really well ventilated. We actually didn't smell like cigars after leaving this place. -Parking lot right outside. Very easy to park and pop in, and lots of other people seem to come in, buy a cigar, and head right back out. CONS: -I really, really, really did not like the drink I ordered here. I'm not sure the bartender had any bartending experience. This place is very straight bourbon and whiskey forward with old-fashioneds being their most common drink. Two beer choices. No stouts or dark beers. You can't bring in your own options (understandably), but the bar options are limited if you aren't the stereotypical cigar smoker or are here as a non-cigar smoker here to keep someone company. -Multiple televisions were on the same channel, each with their own volume. Volume was not sychronized, however, so you had a constant 3-tier echo of the exact same program throughout the entire time we were here. -No one answered the phone the 5+ times I tried to call day-of despite being during their "open" hours. This makes it really hard to make sure it had what we were looking for.

Made a reservation for dinner about a week in advance and yes, told them it was our anniversary. We got there a few minutes early. They got us seated right on time. Nice little card and decorations on the table to celebrate us. Nice touch. Monika came by with a smile, gave us a minute to look over the drink menu, brought us water and asked if we had questions. Drinks are ordered and they came quickly. We got a chance to finally look around and found it to be a very relaxing atmosphere. We could not resist the prime rib egg rolls. Very crunchy exterior with slices of prime rib inside. The dipping sauce had a great flavor but I copied not decide on the ingredients. Just know you want to ask for more. I don't get seafood at home. My wife's idea of seafood has Gortons on the label. So when I saw the seafood trio I had to get it. Really really good. Shrimp,scallop, salmon that all had great flavor and were prepared very well. My wife loves gnocchi so the short rib version was her choice. I got the leftovers the next day and they were still good. Since we were celebrating I got the celebration cheesecake. Dense but tasty. Lots of crunchy extras to dip into if you want. She got the obligatory crème brûlée. There were no leftovers for me. Dang. Monika was a dream to work with. Fun, personable, professional and just a good person to deal with. Make sure to notice her jewelry. There is a good story behind it. This experience might convince us to go to upscale restaurants more! Thanks Monika!

Unfortunately, we didn't have any of the ingredients needed to make it fun, if you know what I mean. We searched Yelp and found this spot rather close by. We decided to give it a try and were stoked to find that they were open... and busy at that. They had a great inventory of wine, liquor, beer, etc. and had exactly what we needed, prosecco, schnapps, vodka and fruit puree. I'll also add that despite how busy they were, the staff was great. They helped us find what we were looking for while we wandering around aimlessly trying to find the goods. Prices were right on money, too. I don't live in the area, but my sister does, and I have no doubt we'll be back when need be. #grateful

They have a good selection of stuff (I am a bourbon and cocktail person) but nothing amazing. What really frustrated me was around payment. They charge a fee if you use a card: their prices are the same as other stores who do not charge a fee to use a card. Anyways, I used a debit card and found out, after, I was charged a fee. They did offer to refund my charge and I could pay with cash but I did not have enough cash on me. In my experience, this is the ONLY store I have EVER been charged a fee for using a debit card or credit card. It just feels greedy.
