Stopped in on a rainy Thursday afterwork. Rang a buzzer to get through the door. Haze of cigar smoke hung in the air. Enjoyed highball makers.

Smoky as hell. Though I knew that going in. Just be prepared to burn your clothes after a night of wonderful drinks and relatively good service...

Lupa and Oscar are two cool Amigos, relax with a cigar and unwind on a slow sunday after a Steak at Arlington Club next door, the perfect UES evening

The whiskey and cigar bar is usually full of suit-clad businessmen winding down. Enjoy the refinement by the fireplace, while jazz plays overhead.

Drinks are very good, bartender is very nice. However, ladies if you are reasonably ok to look at be prepared for a swarm of geezers.

Interesting concept and not too bad to sit and relax and basically do what the name says. Read and drink

Cigars are mostly their brand - not much quality selection. Waitress has a huge attitude as well. Nice place otherwise.

Good vesper martinis but the waitresses can be rude and the crowd is poorly dressed. There is a James Bond room in the back and they won't let anyone go there...

Dress code- collar shirt, tucked, pants

Fuck this place. Rude, unhelpful staff, poorly constructed cocktails, and I was told they were "out of" a bunch of things that wasn't actually true - waitress was just too lazy to ask the bartender.

Whiskey Tuesdays, basically half off

Remember you can't wear sneakers inside . . . One disastrous trip uptown later

James Bond would be a regular here.
BrittanyDecember 16, 2014

David AndersonJanuary 13, 2012

Benjy WeinbergerApril 25, 2014
Avoid if you don't like smoking.
