Shakers was great, I stopped by for a cigar and really enjoyed my visit…read more The building itself has such a fascinating, albeit largely morbid history - from its time as a brothel, an Al Capone connection, and of course a modern tie-in to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer (the owner allegedly saved the stool Dahmer used to sit on), this place does NOT have a bright past. Fast forward to today, and the dreadful history didn't bring down my experience. They have an okay cigar collection near the host stand, and a great space to smoke/relax. There's a range of seating, from an outdoor patio, to tables near the front windows, to a bar, to more dimly lit seating toward the back...and a rooftop to boot. Lots of options! Their drink menu seemed extensive, lots of spirits and beer/wine available. Pricey, but I guess that's part of being a cigar bar, especially one that's also storied institution. Service was excellent, great staff that were friendly and very helpful. If you like cigars and don't mind a smaller selection, this place is an excellent option for a low key place to smoke and unwind.

The convenient drive-thru is a nice bonus as well. Mike has helped me during both visits and has been friendly, knowledgeable, and informative, making each visit seamless. My go-to purchase is their cigar sampler pack since it offers a great variety to choose from. I also appreciate their rewards program; after spending $100, you receive $10 toward a future purchase. The cigar lounge in the back is a great place to sit back and enjoy a smoke, and they offer non-alcoholic beverages such as water while you relax. I'll definitely be back.

I called this business ahead of time because I know very little about cigars and was looking to buy…read moresome really nice cigars as gifts for friends. I spoke with an employee named Josh and asked a few simple questions about their inventory and what the most expensive cigars they carried were. When I asked if they had anything over $100, Josh responded with, "I can charge you however much you want," and then told me that if anyone pays over $100 for a cigar, they're getting ripped off. I clarified that I hadn't bought anything yet and was simply asking questions because I was unfamiliar with cigars and wanted to get something high-end as a gift. I told him I'd stop by later that afternoon, and when I arrived, I was greeted and went into the humidor to browse. While I was looking around, I overheard Josh at the desk laughing about our phone conversation and mocking me to his friends, saying I got ripped off and making fun of the questions I had asked. As someone who was genuinely trying to learn and was fully prepared to spend good money on gifts, being publicly mocked for asking beginner questions was honestly shocking and extremely unprofessional. I came in with good intentions and an open wallet, but after that experience, I decided to take my business elsewhere.

After recently moving to Waukesha, I stumbled upon Lake Country Cigar Lounge--and it quickly became…read moremy go-to haven. From my first visit, I felt right at home. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and refreshingly free of pretension. It's a place where you're among friends, not strangers. The process is simple and rooted in trust: walk in, select your cigar, settle into a chair, light up, and enjoy. Payment is handled on the honor system before you leave--no pushy sales, no awkward oversight, just mutual respect and gentlemanly responsibility. Whether you're watching the game or immersed in conversation with fellow enthusiasts, the lounge offers the perfect setting to unwind. As a social member, I can say this is exactly what a cigar lounge should be: relaxed, friendly, and built on trust. 10 out of 10--this is the best spot in town.

I was planning on only getting a couple of cigars for myself and a friend, but there was an excellent buy three, get one free deal that could not be passed up. The deal covered a number of different labels, including Cohibas and Macanudos. You don't run into specials like that very often, so you take them when they present themselves. Four Cohibas and a Short Story later I headed out. The proprietor was nice enough to throw in a cutter gratis.
