Once every couple of years, I crave a cigar. This is the perfect spot to shop and enjoy a cigar…read more The staff here is very knowledgable and can help you pick the flavor profile you'd like. They also serve drinks here as well. Be warned, once you go inside, you're greeted with a huge wave of smoke. Since I don't smoke often, it is a lot for me as I'm not use to it. I personally like to sit outside and enjoy my cigar there.

What can't I say?! As someone who came from San Diego County, CA. I had to stop in. This is the…read morebest cigar lounge I have ever been to around the world. The ambiance is truly second to none. The staff is amazing. The selection is superb. Of course I had to get a brand specific stogie. Smoked a Grand Cathedral POPE. A great cigar and worth every penny of not more. Do your self a favor as a cigar enthusiast. Make a trip to Tampa Bay and come here!

Walk into Grand Cathedral Cigars and you don't just enter a lounge, you step into a moment…read more A former cathedral turned cigar haven, with towering wood beams overhead, stained glass catching the light, and a layout that makes you look up... then stay awhile. It's big without feeling cold. Loud without being chaotic. The music? Think 70s and 80s, just loud enough to set the mood, but not so loud you're shouting over "Free Bird" like it's last call at a dive bar. You can actually have a conversation here. That alone is worth something. The bar is fully loaded, no shortcuts. Solid whiskey lineup, cocktails done right, and a humidor that feels like it goes on forever. Whether you know cigars or just want to look like you do, you're covered. But here's the part most places miss... The people. Staff that actually wants you there. They're dialed in, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and they treat you like a regular even if it's your first time walking through the door. And the crowd? Same vibe. Friendly, relaxed, no ego. It's not about the cigars. It's about the people. And somehow, this place gets both right

This was our first time here and we were greeted making us feel welcomed!…read more The bartender, Rob, was helpful, patient and friendly. The drinks were made very well. Tony the manager was friendly as well and we shared stories of our Jeeps! Shay was helpful in picking out a cigar and explaining some of the different selections they had. There are comfortable seats spread out with windows making it a great spot to sit and relax. We had a terrific visit!

Could Management and Ownership Leadership Please Take Notice…read more As loyal customers who truly love and support this venue, we are asking management and ownership to please give some attention to the details that have recently been overlooked. Over the past few months, particularly since some of the management changes, it feels as though the eye has not always been on the ball. These may seem like small things individually, but collectively they have a noticeable impact on the customer experience. The happy hour wine has been unavailable for more than two weeks. Bathroom toiletries and supplies have not been consistently replenished, including paper towels that went several days without being replaced. Mouthwash and cups were unavailable for weeks and were ultimately purchased and supplied by a loyal customer. We absolutely recognize that the air quality has improved substantially, and that investment is appreciated. However, on high-traffic evenings, the smoke can still become overwhelming. Could ownership please consider investing approximately another $3,000 in two additional Airpura units? It seems like a relatively modest investment that could make a significant difference in the comfort of guests, and employees. We are bringing these concerns forward because we genuinely enjoy the venue and want to continue supporting it. A little more consistent attention to the details that made this place special would go a long way. We hope management and ownership will take these observations in the spirit in which they are intended--from loyal customers who care about the venue and want to see it continue to thrive.

Keep coming back to this place during our cigar weekend in Ybor City. Great cigar and drink…read moreselections, very friendly staff.

Fun experience- this was recommended as the go to cigar experience by a few locals we spoke with…read more I appreciated personally the comment and experience of a heavy female run staff made the experience more comfortable especially since we had no clue really what we were doing having only been to a cigar lounge in our hometown once before! The shop part is separate and they were helpful with picking out a cigar for us. Note they only serve drinks and no outside food is allowed in- we ordered cocktails but they also have a full coffee and tea menu. We picked a set of comfy seats that had a view of the street it was fun to just sit and kind of people watch! They also have nice filtration system going on inside if you're worried about it being smoky otherwise there is outdoor seating as well. I would definitely recommend this as a stop for those looking for a Tampa cigar bar experience.

Our server Gabby was great. Cigar Aficionado has given this gem the best of Ybor twice. Tim and I think Cigar Aficionado should look beyond Ybor when judging Sterling. We visited on a Monday about 5:30 so there was a steady crowd but not packed like I understand it gets. Thanks Gabby!

This place is grown and sexy so be respectful of such a beautiful place.

We told him we were visiting to celebrate an early birthday and attend the Ye concert, and he made sure everything was perfect the entire time. The rest of the staff was also welcoming and helpful, but Theo truly stood out. The food was a 10/10! Our favorite dessert was the blackberry cobbler, but we don't have a picture because my daughter devoured it before I had the chance . Thank you, Theo, for making us feel so welcomed and for all of your great recommendations. We'll definitely be back!

For entrées, the Trio of Medallions was cooked perfectly, with each filet offering a unique flavor, and the Soy Ginger Atlantic Salmon was tender, flavorful, and paired beautifully with the wasabi mashed potatoes and Asian slaw. We also enjoyed a glass of the Blanc de Blanc, which was crisp, refreshing, and the perfect complement to our meal. What truly made the evening exceptional was our server, Hannah. She was incredibly knowledgeable about both the food and wine, offered excellent recommendations, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Her positive personality, attention to detail, and enthusiasm elevated an already fantastic meal into a memorable dining experience. Delicious food, wonderful wine, outstanding service, and a warm atmosphere, we'll definitely be back, and we'll be asking for Hannah again!

Our server was friendly and helpful. We got a bottle of wine for thr 4 of us to share and ordered the Brussels sprout appetizer. In the meantime, our server brought pretzel bread with butter.

I ordered the chicken piccata which came with capellini and asparagus. Our food arrived timely and was nice and hot.

I ordered the chicken and waffles and my wife ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. We ordered their loaded tots with jalapeños as an appetizer. Those were absolutely delicious. Plenty of cheese and jalapeños. We enjoyed our food quite a bit. My chicken was tenders and they were pretty good and the waffle was outstanding. Once topped with a mixture of syrup and hot sauce (in separate containers) it's almost a perfect combination. My wife really enjoyed her chicken sandwich and the fries. She had a Blue Moon and I simply can't remember the beer I had but it was a local one and pretty good. The service was excellent. The only knock is the loudness of the establishment. But,that's a personal thing and I did have difficulty conversing with my table mates. All in all, if yiu don't mind the noise, it's a good place for a beer and some food.

Stopped here after landing at airport to watch the Australia-USA World Cup game…read more Plenty of TV's and had a good spot to watch. Crowd inside was very loud and it was a good atmosphere to watch the game. Ordered sliders and Parmesan truffle fries and they were good. The truffle fries were very good. With the doors open it was a bit warm inside. On that note our waitress was busting her butt and did a great job even though it was hot and she was busy. Good place to watch a game with friends or family and have some food.
