The 25 Best Cigar Lounge Patios in America
Open air, good pours, and hours that don't rush you. We went through every patio in our directory — 8,000+ lounges mapped — and ranked the twenty-five worth planning a trip around. Every one of them is a working cigar lounge, and every photo below is that lounge's own patio.
- №1
Miami Beach, Florida
Espanola Cigar Bar
Española Way people-watching, cortadito in hand. Miami Beach at walking pace — it's a vibe.
The patio spills onto one of the prettiest pedestrian streets in Florida, and on a warm night every table is full well past midnight. No other patio in the country has this much energy after dark.

Akron, Ohio
Summit Cigar Co.
Absolutely beautiful — stone fireplace, heaters overhead, cobblestone underfoot. A cigar outside, twelve months a year.
Ohio weather doesn't get a vote here. The pavilion was built to beat it, and the fire is the reason people keep choosing the outside seats in February.

San Francisco, California
Cigar Bar & Grill
A Barbary Coast courtyard with live Latin jazz — the last great smoking patio in San Francisco.
Brick walls, hanging ferns, string lights, and a city that has made this kind of room nearly extinct. Come for the salsa nights and stay because nobody is rushing you out.

St. Petersburg, Florida
Cigar Paradise
Downtown St. Pete, beach in sight. Insider info: order the Old Fashioned — it's a presentation.
Golden hour on this courtyard is about as easy as an evening gets, and the walk to the water afterwards takes about ten minutes.

Las Vegas, Nevada
Davidoff of Geneva
Nothing like smoking a cigar with an incredible view of the Strip. White-glove service the whole way.
Fifty seats outside, a walk-in humidor behind you, and the Wynn towers over your shoulder. It's the rare Vegas experience that gets better the longer you sit still.
Hours, photos & details → - №6
New Haven, Connecticut
The Owl Shop
Opened on Wall Street in 1934 near Yale University as a bookstore that also mixed custom pipe tobacco blends. Due to its continuous historical operation as a dedicated tobacconist, it remains a rare public indoor smoking-and-drinking establishment in Connecticut.
The sidewalk Terrasse fills the moment the weather turns, with a crowd of students, faculty and locals that has been showing up here for ninety years.
Hours, photos & details → - №7
Wichita, Kansas
The Humidor Cocktail Lounge
Wichita's largest indoor/outdoor patio, looking out over the 7th green. Live music every Friday and Saturday.
Dusk out here does something to the sky that photographs barely catch. Get there before sunset and take a table on the rail.
Hours, photos & details → - №8
Monona, Wisconsin
Tasting Room of Monona
Heat lamps under a pergola on the edge of Madison. The patio doesn't close when the temperature drops — which in Wisconsin is the whole test.
String lights, a full pour list, and a crowd that treats a cold night as a reason to sit outside rather than an excuse not to.
Hours, photos & details → - №9
Rhode Island
The Gentleman Cigar Lounge
Sometimes a sail canopy is the perfect touch on a sunny day. Lots of great cocktails and high-end whiskey to pair with your stogie.
White leather seating under a stretch of yellow shade — the most deliberately designed patio on this list, and it photographs like a hotel courtyard.
Hours, photos & details → - №10
Charlotte, North Carolina
The Vintage Whiskey & Cigar Bar
Heaters out, whiskey poured — Charlotte's patio holds court every month of the year.
Come on a Saturday afternoon and you'll wait for a seat. That's the sign you're looking for.
Hours, photos & details → - №11
Honolulu, Hawaii
Island Coffee and Cigar
A teak deck under the palms, steps off Kalākaua. Worth the flight, literally.
Coffee in the morning, something stronger later, and Waikiki two blocks away. The only patio on this list where the trade winds do the air conditioning.
Hours, photos & details → - №12
Greensboro, North Carolina
Havana Phil's
One of the few Appointed Merchants for Davidoff of Geneva in the Southeast. If you can make it on a Tuesday, Taco Tuesday on the Montecristo Patio is fabulous.
Yellow umbrellas, brick, and a humidor deep enough to justify the drive from anywhere in the Triad.
Hours, photos & details → - №13
San Antonio, Texas
On the Bend
River Walk views, live jazz, signature liquid-nitrogen cocktails, oysters… a lot of good things going on here.
Misters over the tables mean August doesn't chase you indoors, and it's the only cigar bar sitting directly on the River Walk.
Hours, photos & details → - №14
Key West, Florida
Old Havana Cigar
Like who wouldn't want to sit here? The deck bar sits under a banyan tree and the breeze does the rest.
Duval Street is steps away and feels much further. They call it the jungle lounge, and for once the marketing is accurate.
Hours, photos & details → - №15
New Orleans, Louisiana
Cuban Creations Cigar Bar
Fringed umbrellas on a French Quarter street, sticks rolled in-house a few feet away. New Orleans doing what it does.
Grab a bench, order a café con leche, and let the Quarter come to you. The parklet seating puts you in the middle of it without the Bourbon Street noise.
Hours, photos & details → - №16
Scottsdale, Arizona
Cedar Room Cigar Lounge
OpusX and Davidoff authorized retailer, phenomenal reviews, modern and comfortable patio seating.
The walls open to the desert evening and every game is on. In Scottsdale that combination is worth planning an evening around.
Hours, photos & details → - №17
Greenville, South Carolina
Torch Cigar Pub
A covered porch bar strung with lights, an easy walk from downtown Greenville.
Lit bar rail, ceiling fans, and a crowd that stays late without ever getting rowdy.
Hours, photos & details → - №18
Mount Holly, North Carolina
Smoke & Barrel Cigar Lounge
Umbrellas and whiskey barrels out front, twenty minutes west of Charlotte and a world quieter.
The kind of neighborhood lounge where the staff learns your blend by the third visit.
Hours, photos & details → - №19
Maineville, Ohio
Creekside Cigar Co.
There's something serene about a cigar overlooking the woods and a creek. Incredible selection of boutique cigars.
The porch is built for taking your time, which is the entire point of the hour you're about to spend on it. Cincinnati's best-kept secret sits twenty-five minutes north of the city.
Hours, photos & details → - №20
Las Vegas, Nevada
La Casa Cigars & Lounge
Palm shade and open-air tables off the Strip — where Vegas locals go when they're done with Vegas.
No relation to La Casa Detroit at №23; two different rooms, both worth a seat.
Hours, photos & details → - №21
Delran, New Jersey
Skeet's Cigar Bar and Grill
An open-air pavilion bar on the Jersey side of the Delaware. Unpretentious, and that's the whole appeal.
Twenty minutes from Philadelphia, with none of the parking or the attitude.
Hours, photos & details → - №22
Albany, California
Schmidt's Tobacco & Trading Co.
A proper pipe-and-cigar house with a beer garden behind it — a rarity anywhere in the Bay Area.
Solano Avenue out front, a garden patio out back, and a tobacconist's counter that takes pipes as seriously as cigars.
Hours, photos & details → - №23
Detroit, Michigan
La Casa Detroit
A few tables out front — but if you're looking for some tent vibes on a patio, this is a fun option.
Randolph Street in Harmonie Park, neon in the window, and a room that gets loud in the best way once downtown Detroit fills up.
Hours, photos & details → - №24
St. Simons Island, Georgia
Uptown Tap & Cigar
Redfern Village, coastal Georgia. A deck, a draft list, and no reason at all to hurry.
You are on an island where the speed limit is a suggestion and the evening runs long by default.
Hours, photos & details → - №25
Maggie Valley, North Carolina
Valley Cigar & Wine Co.
A covered patio in the Smokies. Mountain air does something to a maduro.
Thirty minutes from Asheville and a thousand feet above the noise.
