A hidden gem in Indy. When you walk in, the place smells like pipe tobacco and it seems like you've travelled back in time. Really cool joint.

Good selection of cigars. Friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of comfortable of seating. Old school with red leather and over stuffed couches in the many seating areas. Well worth a visit.

This place remains the same, in a good way. Love he bar, music, smell of cigars & classic dirty martini. Great bartenders as well.

Be careful or you might just walk right by this hidden gem located in the basement. Plenty of choices, from cigars to cocktails. The staff will help guide you.

The Smith & Wesson is the house White Russian. Try it, and then try to act as cool as the vibe in this place. Probably isn't possible though, this is the coolest bar for miles.

Very nice place in an excellent location. Decent selection of well priced cigars. Great mixed drink choices. Check your coat!

One of downtown Indy's hidden gems. It's like walking into a 1920s lounge. Grab a couch and a strong cocktail. You have to try their stuffed olives!

Drink scotch or a martini. Smoke a cigar. Grab a couch and take a stroll by Lincoln's portrait. If only they changed the music to some jazz late at night it would be perfect.

smoke filled but excellent cocktails. I was expecting Dean Martin to walk over at any minute. This place is a classic.

Great bourban and infused cigar selection! Cute atmosphere too.

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. At Nicky Blaine's, everyone is sexy and full-blooded. Something about the lighting. Or maybe it's the Dean martinis. Read more

I come to this place mainly for the Luxor. It's an amazing Martini. You gotta try it.
Chris JamesMarch 27, 2013
I would drive from Chicago to enjoy a cigar, downtown run, burger at Kilroy's...not bad nap-town
Steve AllieApril 23, 2010
Cigars are a little dry...and yes, I've tried most of them at different times. Bring your own...they are cool with that!
Andrew FurmanMarch 24, 2016
Everything will smell like smoke when you leave.

This is a man-cave of epic proportions. Cigars, martinis, and jazz.

martinis are always good, a lil pricey and expect to have a cloud of smoke follow you when you leave.

If you don't want to pay $5 go down the street and pay $15
Reid ContiSeptember 26, 2010
Bunch of douchebags who turned away a 30+ person wedding party (their only business at 1am Saturday night) for the sake of a ghetto $5 cover charge. Hope these Econ majors enjoy the lack of business!
Robert KutruffSeptember 25, 2010
Come in and touch Ben Langy's muscley arms- men only.
Winston WolfMarch 7, 2010
