Super energetic and a great people person. Below the High on High Street, is FitBar... an exercise facility and you can also order food and get fresh pressed juices made to order. This venue is a win win... a real gem in the city of Portsmouth. This venue has been in existence for about a year or maybe less, but the joint venture, FitBar is going on its second year. I was impressed by the venue the first time I checked it out back in November 2017...very classy and sophisticated. Chic and sleek if you will.

As an Authorized Lampe Burger dealer, they have a great selection of fragrances available. I know that it seems odd that a Cigar Store has home fragrance dispensers but here we are... Emerson's also has a fine selection of premium Cigars available, and even though I don't smoke them myself, I can still appreciate them.

We were lucky to be so close to this cigar lounge when we were staying at a local hotel…read more We were greeted by the guy working when we first walked in. There is a pretty large selection of cigars in the humidor and the prices were not bad, very competitive to other places. While in there, we were asked again if we needed any help. Once we paid for the cigars, the guy cut them since we were going to smoke them there. There were several leather type chairs around two flat screen tvs that the NFL games on, which is what we were after. The chairs have seen better days, but still comfortable to sit in. We could not believe that this place was not more crowded on a Saturday afternoon. They also have a few tables and chairs out front if you want to sit outside. it was just to hot that day for that! I wish i lived closer to this place. If we are in the area again, I will definitely go back!

My friend and I stopped by Twist last Friday to grab food and drinks after a long week. We…read moreabsolutely love Twist so we couldn't wait to go and enjoy. With it being a Friday night, we were hoping it wasn't too busy and thankfully, it wasn't. We sat at a table near the music and it was a bit loud but they did turn it down, which we thought was nice. The Gummy Bear Martini is one of my favorites so I started with that. Since they had a special menu, we wanted to try some of the new items. I ordered the Gumbo and we decided to share the Beef Empanadas. We also ordered the Bourbon Bacon Meatballs, which we love. The food was served pretty quickly. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of the Gumbo! It had a peculiar taste that I couldn't quite pinpoint. The Beef Empanadas weren't bad but could've been seasoned better, I enjoyed the chutney on top. The Bourbon Bacon Meatballs weren't a hit this time, which was disappointing. We remembered them being more saucy and flavorful, but they tasted like the frozen meatballs from the store with some sauce on top. Very underwhelming. I grabbed the Bee Sting, which consisted of honey habanero moonshine, lemon juice and simple syrup and I loved it. We also ended the night with Espresso Martinis. Overall, the food just didn't hit the mark this time but the drinks were great as always. My friend even had them customize a drink for her and it turned out very good. Our server was absolutely amazing though! She was personable and made our experience very enjoyable. I'm sure we'll return because it's one of our favorite spots but I hope we have a better food experience next time.

Tailored Smoke Cigar Lounge, 605 Pilot House Drive, Newport News, VA 23606…read more When I am traveling on business or pleasure, I always make the effort to support local brick and mortar cigar lounges and shops due to the onslaught of Government regulations that make it difficult for these lounges and shops to stay in business. I have visited cigar lounges and shops across the U.S., Asia, and Europe. I saw some good ones and some bad ones. I am in the mindset that you must experience bad ones so you can recognize the good ones. On a business trip to Hampton, VA, I visited Tailored Smoke Cigar Lounge. Without a doubt, Tailored Smoke (https://tailoredsmoke.com/) is the WORST "cigar lounge" I have ever visited. I am loathed to call this a cigar lounge. The bad experience starts before you enter. It is trying to be a private lounge so you must pay a fee to make a reservation to get in. Once you are there, you are patted by like a common criminal. I do mean patted down. This off-duty cop seemed to take pleasure in slapping your private areas. Once in the door, you will find that you must pay another fee for a cover charge on top of the online fee for the reservation. However, you can use the online fee against the cover charge or your bar tab. Biggest issue is that they may not be able to find your reservation. Additionally, when the reservation was found they were confused whether it was for the smoking or non-smoking side (really???? Is this a cigar lounge or not?). We had to wait and got shuffled around for 30 minutes until they could find us a place to sit. We were shoved into a corner where people trampled over us as they navigated around high-top tables. My friend made the mistake of lighting up a cigarette. Instead of politely telling us cigarette smoking was not allowed, a woman in brown velvet-like jump suit got right up my face pointing her finger at me yelling to put the cigarette out. She was yelling so loud and so animated that she was spitting in my face. The waitress had no idea what spirits were available. We would be told one thing only to have waitress come back and tell up "ohhh we do not have that." Did I mention that in addition to the entry fees, you are required to purchase two cigars. Now, do not let the website fool you. The cupboards were bare. There were approximately five (5) labels to pick from. I only recognized a couple. I am talking about real throat burners. Overall, this is NOT a cigar lounge. I am not sure what to call it. After about an hour of the rude, unprofessional staff, the worst ambience (those pictures on the website must be from some other Tailored Smoke location), and poor service I had enough. I was ready to go after getting slapped in the junk on the pat down outside, however, my friend had arranged this, so I decided to give it a chance. Huge mistake. That is an hour in my life I will not get back. Cigar smokers....DO NOT GO TO Tailored Smoke Cigar Lounge, 605 Pilot House Drive, Newport News, VA 23606. It is disappointing that this place is allowed to call itself a cigar lounge.
