Great place to relax, have an adult beverage, and enjoy a cigar from their top notch selection.

"This used to be Blend. What a spectacular collapse in standards. The space is still nice and the humidor selection is solid -- unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Staff at the humidor offered zero guidance or recommendations. Drinks were forgettable, and we had to fetch them ourselves from the bar like we were at a college sports pub instead of an upscale cigar lounge. Then came the cigars. We were left to cut and light them ourselves, which would've been fine if every disposable torch in the place wasn't nearly empty or completely out of butane. Nothing says 'premium lounge experience' quite like fighting for a working lighter. To top it off, the moment a large group walked in, the bartender started loudly screaming out drink orders across the room. The entire atmosphere instantly shifted from refined cigar lounge to livestock auction barn. This place is living off the reputation of what Blend used to be. If you're expecting an elevated experience, look elsewhere." read more

This was the 2 nd speak easy we were taken to. Not too far walking distance to the first one. It is a cigar bar more like a lounge with large comfy chairs but we were taken directly to the second floor via elevator. Thankfully that room had no trace of cigar smoke. We were told in its hey day it was originally a brothel. More tales of murder. We were cautioned to stick with your party around Printers alley and how one man went off on his own and was found dead floating in the river. read more

A nice little cigar and cocktail bar right in the midst of downtown, making it a great stop if you're already out exploring the area. The vibe is laid-back but still stylish, and it feels like a cool hidden spot away from the usual chaos. They offer signature cocktails along with a full bar, and there's a wide selection of cigars to choose from. Even though I'm not usually a cigar smoker, it was fun to try something new. I had the Acid Blondie (I think that's the name), and it had a sweet, fruity kick that made for a really smooth and enjoyable finish. Our server was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. She also made me an espresso martini that was really good--perfectly balanced and smooth. Overall, The Ariston is definitely a cool little vibe. Whether you're into cigars or just want a unique cocktail spot downtown, it's worth checking out. read more

What a disappointment... husband and I visited This location while it was the Blend 6 years ago. We had great service (cigar presentation, cut and lit), great old-fashioned with that Black Walnut bitters... this time service & quality was lacking. Nobody welcomed us nor served us when we sat down. We had to walk up and put in our order. The amazing old-fashioned I bragged about to family and friends was not there. When we came back everyone asked us about the "famous" cigar lounge we talked about... I told them unless they increase their standards don't go. I hope you are able to increase quality again. It's a great location and nice quality lounging but I'm not going to lounge somewhere with low-quality service & drinks. read more

Really chill cigar bar. Friendly staff, good drinks and a decent humidor. Just what you need. Music not too loud and the game on the screens with captions. Liked it so much we ended up here twice over the weekend! read more

Of the 3 "Speakeasies" I visited tonight- this had the best drink. Georgia on My Mind was a perfect balance of strong and sweet. I would come back just for this drink. The bartenders were friendly and had our drinks out in minutes. If cigar smoke is t your thing ... this isn't your place. read more

I will keep this one brief. You want to get away from the cacophony of the Broadway? Like cigars? want a well made Manhattan or Old Fashioned, or another classic cocktail? This is your place. This is located a few blocks...uphill just off of 5th on Church? You can look it up, that night was hazy. This place has a nice chill vibe with large windows facing the street so you can people watch. Their walk in humidor, and an impressive array of cigars, with a wide range of prices, and along with that they have a cutting and lighting table for use, and more importantly, it is well ventilated. Cocktail wise - they have a decent curated inventory of decent bourbons. Watching the bartenders work their craft, you can see they were well trained, and were quite precise in their craft which I appreciated. This is a must stop for me when I go to Nashville. It is certainly worth the walk to hang out there for an hour or two. read more

Out of three Nashville downtown cigar Lounge's that I visited, Red Phone Booth, Casa de Montecristo Cigar Lounge and this place, the Ariston, is the winner. Although it's smaller, it's a classy cigar lounge, ventilation is good, clean and modern. If you want a vibe with more action and crowd, the others are good. read more

It was a wonderful evening spent here. Excellent service, excellent cigars, excellent drinks and the smoke extraction system was both quiet and wonderful. Next visit to Nashville Ariston is a must visit. Thank you kindly read more

Great little spot out of the way of all the madness. Can't remember her name, but she made one of the best Old Fashioned's I can remember having. Will definitely be going back. read more

While on town I went here twice. It's a great spot with great cigars. In addition they gave great advice helping make selections and that was really appreciated. They could use some waitstaff as they don't check in and get drinks. You need to go up to the bar and they tend to sit there and hang out with one another. A few waitresses would improve customer experience and likely boost beverage revenue. read more

We arrived after 9p for cigars and drinks. I'm not sure about the food here but based on the awesome service we received I'm sure it's fabulous. The ambiance was really laid back and the staff were really knowledgeable about cigars and the old fashioned drinks were great. Will definitely be back read more

Stopped in on a quiet Sunday for an espresso martini. This is an upscale establishment that clearly understood the assignment. My martini was excellent, the ambiance is perfection, and obviously it smells like heaven. Will be making this a regular spot. read more

Great place to have a cigar, drink and relax. Good ventilation. Very nice staff. Cigar prices are high but to be expected in NashVegas and such a nice venue. Highly recommend this place for those that like the finer things in life. read more

Such a cool spot!! Clean, modern, beautiful with great service. Had a nice couple hours here with a martini espresso and sparkling wine for me, my husband enjoyed his Plasencia cigar, an old fashioned and a manhattan project. Love the chill vibe in here, big comfy chairs, nice air movement for me as a non cigar smoker and great menu. Truly a lovely place to relax. The charcuterie & cheese board was also delicious. As a visitor from Austin TX, this was a perfect find in Nashville. read more

Found this gem when searching for cigar bars/lounge around Broadway street that was walkable to. Tucked away in the higher end of downtown Nashville. Smaller than other cigar lounges ive been too but definitely upscale. Not 5/5 because I personally thought their walk in humidor was small and even the bourbon selection was limited. Now, the cigars they carry are tailored more for cigar enthusiast rather than someone looking to just have a smoke. Same may apply to the bourbons. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable on cigars. Would stop here again for sure. read more

So we were just there staying at Hilton Homewood Suites on Church street. I was Searching for a cigar bar to go to but it wasn't until our last night there that I found the perfect spot! I was so annoyed I hadn't discovered it sooner and it was literally just on the next block just before Puckets! I loved this place! It wasn't smoky, the seating was good, and the Old Fashioned was superb! I could have stayed all night! I had brought a cigar with me and the young man (didn't get his name) let me know that they charge a $20 fee if you bring your own or you could buy one from them. No problem at all because I never have enough. I got a Patron and I smoked the one I brought. Guys were very nice. I really loved this place and next time I'm there, I will be in there every night! read more

What a classy and cozy place to relax and have a drink(or cigar). We didn't get to sample the food, but our friends have and they say it's fantastic. The staff members are attentive and knowledgeable. Our cocktails were crafted to perfection and very reasonably priced for the quality. We could've spent hours here! Close enough to downtown to pregame before a night out or relax after a long day. I highly recommend you check this place out if you're in the area! read more
