We love coming to Safari for relaxing nights with good drinks and cigars! There's always a game on for the guys, and for the ladies, there are a wide range of cigars for different tastes and yummy drinks. I prefer shorter cigars with flavor and they usually have a good variety of them available. The drinks are top notch, the bartenders make them superbly, and they have an excellent espresso martini! The service is always quick and helpful, the noise level isn't too loud, quiet enough to have a regular conversation without having to yell. As with any cigar bar, you'll have to wash up when you get home and never wear anything you can't wash right away, but it's a good time so who cares?! read more

This place is super classy and love coming in for cigars. Plenty to choose from in the nice sized humidor. I bought a couple My Father Connecticut cigars and they were super fresh. Inside is super chill with very comfortable seating. Highly recommend... definitely coming back read more

I love a good cigar bar, and this place has all the trappings of a good one. Comfy leather chairs, dim lighting but not too dim, nice side tables with lamps, a large beautiful humidor with a great selection and an awesome wait staff. But, for it's size, it's way bigger than Jakes in Benson and Havana garage downtown, but the SMOKE! It was awful. Jakes is 1/4 the size of this place and I've never been assaulted by the cigar smoke as I was in Safari. And the drinks were most definitely on the high end, a basic well drink was $11, and pour was on the light side. They do have a great selection of whiskeys and the bar tender was awesome, he was the only male staff, all of the waitresses were cute little things. What's up with that, men can't serve drinks? Will I go back? I have to say no, mostly because of the smoke, I know it's a cigar bar, but dang, don't you have an air cleaner? And the drink prices don't help. read more

Great service and ambience. Nice place to sit and work while having a smoke. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town

I wasn't a regular so I didn't feel I was really welcome to much but more friendly at the bar side.

Let me start by saying my reason for 3 stars is lack of ventilation. I find myself in cigar bars from time to time due to my husband's love of cigars and Safari, compared to Copacabana, from a ventilation perspective, isn't great. I get they are kind of "landlocked" in the strip in which they are located, but if you are ever here for an event, your eyes will be watering. Beyond ventilation, I have always found the staff to be amazing - they are friendly, accommodating and will go out of their way to give you a nice compliment. This is also a great place to purchase cigars as they have a wide variety and multiple price points within their selection. read more

I have been visiting Safari for a few years now off and on. I enjoy their cigar selection and most of the staff gives great service. For some reason the guy that runs the humidor (John?) seems to see customers as an inconvenience and interruption to him smoking a cigar, but occasionally he is friendly. I still like the place. read more

Good cigar and whiskey selection, polite employees, cool aesthetics/interior design, and last but not least...the best paper towels ever. Lol read more

Their humidor is awesome, I bought two cigars and both were in perfect shape, no cracking or fast burns. The feel itself was really cool, they have an Africa theme like their name suggests. The bourbon options were very good as well and the bartender was super nice. Only issue was with a group at the table next to me. The Army Navy game was on with the last 6 minutes in the 4th quarter and these dudes changed the the channel to girls volleyball. I got it, this is a college town and Nebraska was playing but unless your daughter is playing why the hell would you put that on? I'm a visitor and as a good guest I moved to where the game was on but at least give some warning. read more

Great place to have a smoke! They have a large selection of cigars in their humidor. The gentleman working was very knowledgeable about cigars and directed us to ones we haven't tried before which is what we wanted. The place has very comfortable chairs, clean ash trays and lighters available all over. I loved that they had an older group of guys there hanging out watching westerns! Life Goals! When I get older that's what I plan to do! I can't wait to stop by again next time we are in Omaha. read more

This a fantastic lounge. Allie was attentive and helped make it a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The humidor and bar is well stocked with high ball liquor. Only 3 draft beer choices. However, that's not a big issue with me. The furniture is comfortable and the background music is Cuban which I love. read more

Great atmosphere and comfortable leather furniture. Cigar selection and bar top notch!

This is a great place to enjoy a cigar, a drink and watch a game. Friendly staff and good company ,

Outstanding establishment. Great crew and top shelf humidor. The atmosphere is very inviting.

My all time favorite cigar shop in Omaha. Seriously is head and shoulders above Havana. I have beef with Havana (look at my previous review there). The crowd is more mature so this isn't the rip shots place. It's perfect to come with a group of friends who don't mind cigar smoke. Drink some good whiskey and have a stogie. Great service. Comfy chairs with solid TV placement through out. Come to have a couple of drinks and a cigar. You'll go home very happy. read more

Arguably one of the best cigar lounges I've been to in the continental United States it has a very south Africa hunting lodge feel to it It has a decent amount of cutters cigar humidors and lighters in their humidor walk in is very complementary to the size of the lounge the lounge in my opinion is probably about three times the size of a regular cigar lounge read more

Safari is officially my favorite cigar bar in town. Staff is excellent, selection is excellent, environment is comfortable. John also has a knack for picking a stick for me when I visit. It's great to have staff doing that well in a cigar bar. If you like a cocktail with your drink, the bartenders will take care of you well and properly. If you'd rather a round table or comfortable chair at the front of the shop, you need not step to the bar. You get served either way. It's great. read more

Where do begin to try to encourage you to visit Jeff and his staff at Safari?? I have been a customer, fan and friend of the fine people at Safari long before they were the team. (Previous owners, during the Cigarros days). At one time, I was as regular as regulars come. Well... I took a job a couple of years ago that required me to travel A LOT. Because of this, I have fallen off of the regular roster. It is because of having become an occasional customer, rather than a regular that I feel compelled to write this review. As mentioned, I travel extensively for work. I manage the Western half of the US for a Fortune 75 company, and as such have the opportunity to visit some of the finest cities in The West... Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, LA, Orange County, SanDiego, Phoenix, Denver (to name a few) and all points in between, with frequent visits to Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Indy, DC, Philly, NY, Boston, Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, etc etc etc... I can HONESTLY tell you; Safari Cigar in Omaha is as good as it gets! Why? Epic cigar selection, tremendous bar, great staff and ownership that gives a @)&(@! Don't let "Omaha" cloud your judgement.... Uber out to see Jeff and his team the next time you find yourself in Omaha. I promise... You will NOT be disappointed! read more

Finally made it out to Safari after hearing many good things about it. And I have to say it's probably the nicest cigar bar in town. Heck, it's the nicest cigar bar that I've been to. Don't let the strip mall facade fool you, once you step inside you are greeted by plenty of comfy leather couches and big TVs playing all the sports. It's kind of like of like that one rich friend you know with an epic man cave. Or a very loungey part of a swank men's locker room at the country club. Great cigar selection from what I can tell and each little seating zone is equipped with giant propane torch lighters. Which is fun. The drink menu is super-appropriate for a cigar smoker's palette. Like lots of Scotch and pungent beers. Even a few select rums (though I would've liked to of seen more). Another great feature of Safari is the ventilation system. Sure, it'll be a little smokey, but the ceiling manages to suck up most of the smoke and you don't walk out of there smelling like you just took a nap in pile of tobacco. read more

Nice Relaxing cigar bar to stop into. Spent much longer than I should have here. got food from old chicago and brought it over. Wonderful service. wonderful chairs. my kind of place. Must stop in to relax and enjoy a fine drink and cigar read more

Great, comfortable cigar lounge. Nice and clean. Everyone was friendly, both staff and other cigar aficionado's. The host took the time to take me into the humidor and find the perfect cigar for me. read more

Safari has provided one of the best atmospheres for smoking in all of Omaha. I tend to visit Copa Cabana more often since I live near them but if I had the choice I think I would go to Safari more. The humidor is stupendous. The selections are amazing and it's well kept. The drinks are great as well. The seating and lounge space are comfortable and gorgeous. Overall I'll definitely be visiting Safari more often read more

This is one of the finest cigar lounges in the world, and I've been to many. The place is spacious, they serve booze, the workers are friendly, and they carry Davidoff cigars (my favorite non-Cubans). read more

The owner reached out to me to let me know my drinks were, in fact, served wrong. They were bottled beer and should have been poured more aggressively to produce copious amounts of frothy head. He did give me a refund of my beer money and for that I have doubled my stars. read more

Great place to enjoy a drink, a game, and a cigar!!! Not pretentious at all. The whole vibe is very laid back!!

A very nice lounge which offers a terrific list of top shelf libations and a humidor full of quality cigars. read more

Wonderful atmosphere. Great selection of cigars and drinks. You can come to read, converse or watch TV in many different seating arrangements. I would highly recommend it. read more

Safari Cigar is a really nice place to relax. I was a bit timid at first being a female, walking in by myself, but the staff was great. It started with the visit to the humidor, picking out just the right stick, which wasn't easy, their walk- in humidor is huge! The lounge was quiet and peaceful. i chose a beer from the bar and soon relaxed and forgot the world for just a little while. thank you, safari cigars for making me feel welcome as a SOTL, Cheri M. read more

Omaha is LUCKY to have this WORLD CLASS cigar bar. I've been to quite a number of cigar bars in my life in different large US cities and this one is nothing short of exceptional. If you remember the old "Cigarros" it's in the same space but it's SOOO much better. New furniture, fabulously stocked humidor with a world class selection, huge flat screens. The chairs are way beyond what you'd find in Washington, New Orleans, and many other cities. OK, so I can't rave enough about how good it really is. Prices are excellent, drinks poured properly...they even have great olives for the drinks. You will be impressed...I don't care where you're from. read more

Relaxing, classy atmosphere. Good selection of all my favorite cigars. Decent drink menu. Exactly what you would expect. read more

This a wonderful place to relax and watch sports with friends. The staff is friendly and helpful and the cigars they have in stock are great. I will always come back to this place anytime I want to have a good time. read more

Love this place! Friendly owners. Good selection of booze and cigars. Definitely out to please their clients. Service is wonderful. Very friendly to women; they don't make women feel awkward here. read more

I was expecting a high class atmosphere like the old cigar club in this spot and found nothing of the kind. The alcohol selections were limited, the bar was way too bright, the waitresses were 20 years older than they should have been and the clientele was OLD. This is now a place for CIGAR NUTS, with all the talk about cigars all the time. If you like inhaling tons of secondhand smoke, not being able to order the drink you want or to enjoy any eye candy, this is the place for you. Also, parking in this little strip mall has gotten terrible. Don't know why; Safari's doesn't seem busy. It must be the restaurant next door & the yogurt shop. read more

Such a great place! The owner has been there just about every time I've stopped in & he makes a point of making you feel welcomed. Their cigar selection is great & there are very knowledgeable people to help if you'd like some guidance. The place does a good job of providing sufficient smoke eaters, so the smoke smell is pretty subtle. read more

Five stars all the way!! This place is on par with some of the great lounges in Florida. Good selection of cigars, and a full bar. Leather chairs, big screen TVs and a nice decor. Trust me you'll like this place. read more

Best cigar bar in town, hands down. Very friendly staff, who will learn your name. In my many experiences at safari, they're also the most knowledgeable staff in town. Terrific drink menu to boot. This is not the kind of place where people go to be loud. High ish drink prices keep the jerks out. Sit down, relax, and enjoy the company of great people. read more

Great place to relax, have a cigar from an excellent selection and have a few drinks. Can't wait to go back there.

Welcome home! Had enough of rowdy party bars packed with punks and thugs shouting over the thumping sound system? Looking for a relaxing, men's club atmosphere, rich with wood paneling, low, soothing music and soft leather chairs? Safari's your new favorite watering hole. The walk-in humidor is well-stocked with a broad variety of smokes. The prices, which are not unreasonable, are clearly marked on the shelves. The only thing I didn't like was the note taped to the front door announcing a $5 service charge per cigar brought in from somewhere else. read more

Awesome place. Great cigar selection, employees are knowledgable and helpful. Lots of nice seating options, and all tables come with an ash tray and lighter. Have only gone on Thursday nights and there had always been a good football game or two on. read more
