    Visited 7/12/2025 I recently visited Soho Cigar Bar, and overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The decor has that classic lounge feel. Almost felt like a gangster movie vibe without the violence obviously. This is only the second cigar lounge I've tried in Manhattan, and while I found the drink prices a bit on the high side, that's pretty standard for the area. The cigar selection definitely makes it worth a visit. That said, the service left a lot to be desired. It was difficult to flag down any of the servers, and when I looked over at the bar, it seemed like the staff were more focused on arguing with each other and hanging out than checking on tables. It just took away from what could have been a top-tier experience. Still, I'd come back again.. hopefully on a night when the team is more focused. The vibe alone makes it worth another shot.

    Very cool laid back cigar bar. The atmosphere is very chilled and relaxed. You can take your cigars or purchase there. There is a cutting fee however it's waived if you spend ovr $XX. The drink selection is very impressive. I suggest ride sharing so you can try a few. I did a couple of whiskey flights and the pours was decent. The staff is nice and was somewhat on point. Being there on a Monday night football game could have kept them busy. Definitely would go back!

    We went there to celebrate my friend birthday day and it was nothing short of a good time. Reservations was made for 11:30pm, running a little late we called to let them know and they accommodated us. Dim lighting, typical parlor aesthetic with comfy chairs and decor From the moment we walked in the hostess, bartenders and servers greeted us. We had Tamera as our table server and she was incredible, well informed on the cigars and what pairs well with them and how to smoke them. It's was a great time and we will definitely be back.

    Even if you aren't a smoker this place has something for everyone. The ciders are very good and they do have a small appetizer menu. Now if you can eat and drink in a Smokey room then you will have non problems but this is the kind of atmosphere this is. We came on a Saturday evening and had about a 10 min wait but they were turning tables pretty quickly.

    My first Cigar lounge experience. Very laid back. They have a great drink selection and great cigar options too! They have pairings on their menu to help people pick which is super helpful! They are open late and I never felt rushed at any point!

    I am admittedly a Cigar fraud. I frequently smoke them, but I really don't know much about them when it comes down to it. Aside from the trite alpha male connotation, cigar culture has always fascinated me. Just a couple of people sitting around enjoying the moment, talking about anything and everything while enjoying a stogie. That's rad. Anyways, my buddy who does love cigars and knows I dabble sent me this place and it looked like an old school lounge so I decided to check it out. When I walk in, I am immediately struck as this is EXACTLY the vibe I want when I think of a Cigar lounge from the 1950's. I began scanning the place for Frank the Tank & the rest of the Rat Pack. The server, Ayla, greeted me and handed me a menu. After a few minutes of acting like I knew what I was reading, she approached me and asked what I would like. With my tail between my legs, I told her how I was a phony and needed some help deciding, but I wanted a cigar that would put me on my ass. With a beaming smile she responded "no problem" and began patiently explaining the menu to me like I was a 5 year old if a 5 year old could smoke. We decided on the Candela and it was just what I was looking for. Put me on my ass. GREAT CALL AYLA! I opted not to get a drink as I have been on a bit of a bender, even though that Gatsby's Downfall was looking at me crraaaazzyyyyyyy. I paired the cigar with a cup of black coffee. Exaltation. All in all, I sat there for about 2 and a half hours enjoying the cigar, reading a bit (yeah I'm cultured af), writing this review, and just taking in the atmosphere. The crowd in here was fascinating. I will be a regular here hehe.

    Great house cigars!!!

    A great cigar lounge. If you're looking for an uppity spot with over the top prices then this place ain't it. If you're looking for a chill spot with good drinks, good sticks, great customer service and a dope environment - you've found it!! A nice walk from my hotel at nearly 10p and I found this place. Amazing in house stick and a delicious drink to wash it down. I never felt rushed, I never felt ignored and the atmosphere was great!! I highly recommend SoHo Cigar Bar and will definitely be back!!!

    The staff was great, and it's a vibe inside. Probably the coolest lighter I've ever seen, and the cigar itself was great.

    Speaks for itself!

    I'm sharing this review while smoking the cigar that was carefully selected by the beautiful Nico and also brought out to me while sitting in traffic. If that isn't an exceptional service, I don't know what is. I would not recommend this gesture unless traffic was at a standstill, I wouldn't want to put any other staff in danger. I'm enjoying this cigar that was brought out to me and if I'm ever stuck in traffic like this again... I know they'll take care of me.

    My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

Service was good. We had the fried chicken Benedict and the crab cake Benedict. I was a bit confused when I saw that each Benedict dish only had one poached egg - shouldn't it always be two? I guess that's shrinkflation (plus inflation) for you. That bent said, the crab cake was actually really big and filling. The side of potatoes were really delicious. Would I come back for brunch again? Very unlikely. But, it does seem like a pretty "safe choice" if you need a last minute reservation for a group.

We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready. As with nearly every establishment in NYC, it is very close quarters in paradise lost. We stood at a table while waiting for seats at the bar to become available. Which, we didn't mind. I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.

The presentation was gorgeous too, topped with a dried orange slice that felt just as Instagram-worthy as it was delicious.

The bi-level bar and lounge was dark, swanky, and seductive. It would make an excellent spot for dates or groups of friends, like mine. We started off sitting at the bar, as there were no large tables available upon our arrival. However, after about 15 minutes, the host approached to tell us that he could actually seat us. I picked up my glass, which was wet with condensation, and it slipped out of my hands. I was able to collect it with only a minor spill, but the host insisted that the bar staff make me a new cocktail in case the glass had chipped at all. It was a considerate gesture that I greatly appreciated. Plus, since I had already taken a few sips, I was thrilled to get those back in a new glass! In terms of my cocktail of choice, I had opted for the Hot Tijuana Tease, a fiery blend of mezcal, blanco tequila, chile poblano liqueur, and lime juice. So, it was essentially a spicy margarita, and it was excellent. There were clean, crisp notes of peppery heat balanced with layers of robust smoke. My only complaint about the lounge was that the bathrooms were beyond tiny. There were two unisex stalls in a very tight alcove that also included a cramped sink counter. It was awkward and uncomfortable to share that space with another patron. Aside from that, the Hide Rooftop was a beautiful place with a friendly staff and interesting drinks.
