I came here after work to celebrate a colleague's birthday. Although I'm not a smoker, I did enjoy Merchant Cigar Bar's elaborate cocktail menu! If you enjoy a well made drink, I highly recommend this place. In addition, the ambiance is fantastic and it's an overall beautiful bar. Finally, the service was great and the folks here were super friendly. Pro-tip: Do you enjoy an old fashioned? I recommend their "Corleone's Choice". It's Merchants' take on the classic cocktail.
Jared is wonderful. This cigar bar feels intimate & is completely unlike the other one or two clubs/restaurants/bars attached to it. In here, you have low, leather seating and seats at the bar. Everything is fine and soothing. You can smoke and there is also a selection. Staff are not pretentious. You can have a wonderful experience and enjoy New York without any feeling of hustle or extreme. I love it. I saw someone even relaxing in there alone. I think it is a perfect place to go with a dear f

You can smoke cigars and enjoy the classic Cocktails or speak to the bartender with a brief description of what you like and he will create a custom drink. You can also enjoy sporting events on their TV they have lounge style seating very comfortable and a nice food menu.
