Downtown Cigar BAR is a relaxed cigar lounge and cocktail bar on South Andrews Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, best for groups, date nights, and anyone who wants a quality smoke with craft drinks in a welcoming atmosphere.

Overview

Downtown Cigar BAR sits on South Andrews Avenue in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, combining a proper cigar lounge with a full cocktail bar in a space that regulars describe as a hidden gem. The interior leans into a classic lounge feel – a little dim, furnished with large lounge chairs, and built for settling in rather than rushing through. It pulls a mixed crowd of after-work professionals, visiting cruisers killing time downtown, couples on laid-back dates, and friend groups looking for somewhere grown and comfortable.

The cigar selection is deep enough that staff can walk you toward something smooth if you ask, and the bar backs it up with a serious whiskey wall that includes Japanese whiskey pours alongside top-shelf American and Scotch options. Cocktails are a strong suit here – the espresso martini gets called out repeatedly, and the broader spirits list runs well beyond the basics. Beer and wine round out the drink menu, and a happy hour makes midweek visits easy on the wallet.

Service is a consistent highlight. Bartenders and servers – guests regularly name them – are described as genuinely warm, conversational, and quick to dial in the TV to whatever game is on. That personal touch turns first-timers into repeat visitors. The atmosphere is casual and LGBTQ+ friendly, welcoming groups, tourists, and locals equally.

Outdoor seating is available, and parking sits behind the building off Andrews. The bar accepts reservations for anyone planning ahead, though walk-ins during afternoon hours often find open seats without a wait. Live music and occasional performances add energy on busier nights, while daytime visits stay mellow enough to read, talk, or just enjoy a smoke in peace. Hours run from noon most days, closing at midnight Tuesday through Friday and on Saturday, with earlier closes on Monday and Sunday.
