*The Best Cigar Lounge within an Hour to Disneyland*…read more My fam went back to Disney every night. I couldn't find a lounge Sunday or Monday. Then, Tuesday I found 8 Eighty Eight Cigar Lounge! What a great lounge. The parking lot it's in is the same you'd use for Cultura Tacos y Mas and Fuoco's! What a trifecta!!!!First, up front Robert (Bob, Bobby) is the best! Very knowledgeable able and top notch when interacting and delivering great customer service. Love they have Opus X's and the next two nights I went to town haha. They have 4 chairs in the front room and very well lit. Middle Room, Bar Room, is where McKenzie is throwing down! This is more that darker, club vibe. This has a lot of hightop seating and many TV's, not to mention a killer bar. Also awesome. She recommended a burrito place in the same parking lot and it was the best burrito I've ever had! The Third area is straight lounge chairs, music, digital jukebox and bathroom, with medium lighting. This lounge is very deceiving one would think it's very small if you go to the front but then you'll see if it's very large. Loved spending my time there both nights. *Overall, there aren't many lounges now down there, thank God this one's so good!*

This store sells cigars and they also have a lounge for customers to hangout. There was a strong smell of cigar as I walked. In.

I parked my car on the street in front of the store. Street parking is available for sure.

Barely in the door and I was greeted by a friendly patron and one of the employees. I immediately loved this place. It looked great, smelled great and the humidor was quite impressive.

There were lots of leather couches, a few large TV's showing sports or various programs, and there were several glass humidors with a nice selection of cigars available for purchase. We selected the cigars we wanted, purchased them, and then found some comfy leather lounge chairs positioned in front of a TV that was showing a basketball game. The atmosphere was mellow and relaxing. We were there for over an hour smoking our cigars and becoming engrossed in our conversation. We had such a great time and have already scheduled our next visit on our calendars. If you enjoy a good cigar with friends every now and then, I highly recommend Casa de la Riva!

The lounge features a members-only area, a well-stocked walk-in humidor with plenty of cigar selections, and comfortable indoor seating available for non-members as well, limited seats in front area. The patio offers high-top seating, perfect for enjoying the lively surroundings. The private area is really nice for the members, lots of seating, TV's, a board room area, etc. The location is excellent, with metered street parking available and a nearby parking garage for added convenience.

He doesn't just want to make a sale he actually takes the time to know what you like , what you're interested in and makes great recommendations based on what you answer.

Upon arriving to the original 10:15 pm reservation we were told they stopped serving food at 9:30 pm. Poor miscommunication about a) reservation/ booking b) what time their kitchen closes The whiskey selection is nice. And the place is beautiful but quite hard to find. I'm sure if we had a walker res things would have been different. Unfortunately I was too turned off so I probably won't try again. Staff was nice enough to help get a res upstairs at Dante's.

I have had them every time now because they are the best. I have seen complaints about the $100 minimum per person, but if you get a cocktail, cigar and bits it won't be an issue. Also, it's not a walk up bar so make sure you make a reservation to assure access.

Unfortunately, the customer service has kept me from having a great experience. Every time I've gone in, the shorter bald employee has come across as unwelcoming. There's never a smile, never a "thank you," and it always feels like you're inconveniencing him by asking to get into the humidor. I understand he likes to relax in the back and smoke, but as a customer it shouldn't feel like you're interrupting his personal time just to shop. Good customer service goes a long way, especially in a cigar lounge where people come to relax and enjoy the experience. I hope management addresses this because the shop itself really is a nice place, and I'd love to be able to recommend it without hesitation.

It's clean and well kept. AC is on point with filtered air flow in the ceiling and air purifiers throughout the room. A good game place to be if u want to watch the Superbowl and FIFA soccer matches on 5 TVs while enjoying a wide selection of cigars. The selection of cigars is incredible and with the help of Richie, we got the best cigars according to our taste. We like our cigars light and aged in bourbon caskets, for the less peppery aftertaste. More men than women in this dynamic, but no matter what gender, the cigars and lounge welcome both. If you want to try 2 or 3 cigars, I highly recommend you to bring your own dark chocolate bars to wash the flavors between switch. There is also a bar next door, Legends and a Chinese bun shop and a Boiling hot pot restaurant. So you can feast, drink and smoke all in one building.

Although the Food tasted great, the portions are extremely small for a pretty steep price. It was 105 degrees out today, and sitting inside the the main bar room they left the double doors open the whole time. It was unbearably hot inside. I asked the staff why they are open, they simply said "we don't know, they are not supposed to be"...but then didn't address it and continued to let them be open. It was even hard to to get service at the bar, even though we saw 4 people in staff all hanging around the bar....but no one would look our way and ask us if we needdd anything,...you just have to wait in a line at the only kiosk register they have. The doors being open allowed A LOT of flies inside, and we couldn't even eat our food. We spent more times swatting them away from our food than eating. 3/4 through eating my plate, I pushed my plate aside cause it had 3 flies on it...and at this point I said "im over it, lets go get my bill....i don't want to come back here again". Lastly, it was happy hour, and the barstaff said we get discount off Pints.....and they ended up charging us FULL PRICE for all of them when we looked at our bill. Overall, this place has charm and could be something great. But I'm not ever coming back. This was my first time coming, and my last.
