Great cigar spot at the back of the bar with library vibe. Knowledgeable staff and very classy with movie feels.Wide array of cigars available for amateur to experienced smokers and have cool ways of cutting it.Whiskeys are way too expensive in my opinion hence not a 5*. $44 + tax + tip for 1oz of Glenlivet 18yrs.

Fantastic bar with a fine selection of whisky and classic cocktails. Cigars are also first rate and they have private label smokes easy to recommend. Perfect old school library / smoking room ambience. But the draw is the service which is impeccable and welcoming. I always look forward to coming to this establishment for a nightcap or late night cigar on every visit to NY.

If youre looking for a cozy spot to catch up with old friends, this place is a hidden gem. Its one of the rare bars where you can still enjoy a smoke indoors, adding a nostalgic charm to the experience. The staff here is incredibly attentive and eager to please, ensuring your visit is always pleasant.The back of the bar features a fantastic semi-private, semi-enclosed area, perfect for groups of 6-10 people. Whether youre planning a small team meeting or a pre-dinner gathering, this space offers the ideal setting. Plus, their champagne selection is top-notch, making any occasion feel a bit more special. For a relaxed and accommodating atmosphere, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Expensive and smelly, but if you go in knowing that, it is a ton of fun. Staff are attentive. Whisky and cigar selection is excellent. Martini was well done also.Cigar prices are high, but where else can you smoke one with good drinks? Staff are professional and courteous.

Nestled in the heart of the city, Bar and Books offers a sophisticated ambiance from classic cocktails to innovative concoctions, the drink menu at Bar and Books is a testament to mixology mastery. Sip on their signature Old Fashioned, expertly crafted with premium whiskey and a hint of aromatic bitters, or indulge in their refreshing Lavender Martini, a delightful fusion of floral notes and crisp vodka. Each drink is meticulously prepared, showcasing the bartenders dedication to quality and creativity.At Bar and Books, every aspect of the experience, from the ambiance to the drinks and food, exudes sophistication and excellence. Whether youre a cocktail connoisseur or a food enthusiast, this establishment is sure to impress.

Such a fun alternative to so many of the bars in the West Village, let alone all of New York. Excellent service from everyone who works there with calm, classy vibes every moment.I got the Pimms Cup and it was absolutely perfect and refreshing. Im not a regular smoker but its fun to sit down with some friends and enjoy a cigar while James Bond movies play on the TV in the back on repeat. They do have a limited beer list but the house specials are so delicious (and STRONG) that theyre worth the $18 price per drink.I cant speak to the list of in-house cigar offerings as Im no aficionado, so I always recommend picking up a cheap $10 cigar at a nearby smoke shop and paying the appropriate cutting fee at the bar (most cigars at the bar are pretty pricy to a novice like myself). But this is definitely a great place to end the night with some grade A vibes that arent found anywhere else in the city. It instantly teleports you back to a different time, with cozy, intimate seating and lighting. I love going to this place whenever Im in the area, especially on cool or rainy nights!

Review №29

I stopped in here on a whim as I was walking by and assumed it was a book/library/literature-themed bar. Sure, there are some books, but this is just a very expensive, swanky cigar bar. So it depends on what youre looking for. If youre a wealthy banker getting off the job and looking for whiskey and cigar, Im sure youll love it. Otherwise, this place is probably going to be a little intimidating and/or unwelcoming.

Really depends if you like Cigars. If yes, go and have a cigar at the bar. If no, move along. Did not have food so cant weigh in on that.The drinks were great (vespa). Big selection of hard liquors. Great lighting and decor. As to the cigars, a most enjoyable experience. And I rarely have cigars.Would give it a 4.5

Review №34

Comfortable and unpretentious cigar bar with a decent food menu and some great cocktails. The room is small and somewhat narrow, but there is a great patio outside for the warmer weather. Most of the folks there were couples, but they were two or three solo guys like myself just there to unwind with a cigar and a glass of whiskey. The selection of cigars is not very broad especially when considering the Maduro styles or the larger ring sizes, theirs top out at 60, but you can bring your own and there is a modest cutting fee of $12. This will probably be my go-to cigar bar now that Mike the Greek has left Soho, and the vibe there has changed so dramatically.

We sat outside on the little enclosed patio, which I really liked. The service was excellent and their scotch menu too although prices were higher than what Im accustomed to, but considering that this is one of their primary source of revenue, I cant entirely fault them. The cigar selection was well balanced, they had a lot of common staples, and some of their own. I do still think the menu was short, so this is why Im not rating it 5 stars. The crowd there was great and Id certainly visit again. I may try sitting at the bar next time.

Forgive the hugely inflated prices and the fact that they insist on cutting and lighting the cigars for you instead of letting you do it yourself. It’s a little cramped here but the vibe really is like no place else I’ve been to in New York City. definitely recommend if you’re into cigars and cigar culture. If not, I would avoid it because it’s very small and you’ll be breathing tobacco air the whole time.

Was here a couple years ago. Will never forget the experience when my business partner and I were sitting at a bar speaking about investing in talent and some black bartender heard our conversation and inserted his opinion (which was juvenile) without being asked or invited to.When your staff believes they have the power to behave that way, its not a business any more. Its supremacy.I hope magement team takes care of the issue and puts him back in his place. It makes a customer feel uncomfortable having important discussions in a venue.

Salty cocktails !? Inexplicable.We ordered two classics ‘whisky sours’ and ‘old fashioned’. They both tasted the same - terrible, tasting of brine and completely undrinkable. Then we were patrolled by the staff as if they knew they’d served us something bad, but making it too awkward to complain. We just paid our $45 bill and left our unfinished saltwater behind.

How the mighty have fallen.I’m told that before Covid this was a great place to have a cigar and scotch. No more. The first warning sign was that it was empty. There’s a reason for that.We sat in the back area and ordered 2 Montecristo #2 torpedos. The waitress told us they were sold out. We then ordered the Rocky Patels. After waiting about 15 minutes she again told us they were sold out. Finally we found a cigar that was in stock and ordered the Partagas.All was going smoothly until the bill arrived. We were overcharged for the cigars.I pointed this out to the waitress who understood and left to change the bill. Suddenly, the bar tender arrived screaming at us. “I served y’all 2 cigars!” He screamed. I said that’s correct, but they were out of stock so we had to get two cheaper cigars; therefore, the bill is wrong.“What?! What y’all talkin about?!”The bartender apparently has no knowledge of math or hospitality. I explained it again and finally he said“Oh. They is two different prices.” And turned around and went back to the bar.No apology. No “sorry about that,” no contrition at all. He is a moron running a bar that was once apparently a good place to get a cigar. He might be good running a liquor store on the lower East side, but has no business running a formerly nice place.Don’t go here. Go to Macanudo bar.

One of the rudest staff Ive ever had to displeasure of being served by. Went in with a friend on a Friday night to have a lovely night out. Didnt even have a chance to sit down before I was asked what Id like to drink. When we said we werent ready yet, I was given the nastiest look. Throughout the hour that I spent there, I was pressured to keep buying drinks every 10 minutes; I felt so uncomfortable. The staff was rude every time I interacted with them as if me being there was inconvenience to them. The atmosphere was hostile, and even the manager there was throwing glances across the room. In the end I was given a check without asking one and was told to free this pace for other patrons. Unbelievable. Would never give them my money again.

An endangered species in NYC, the cigar bar, of which Hudson Bar is a stand out. If you like a cozy room, a neat scotch, and a full bodied cigar look no further. Old school as it comes, but attracts all types of guests. Worth a stop in, even if you dont smoke. Outdoor seating available too.

Not a welcoming place for women. Ladies, the restaurant caters to men only…rude men. & it is really uncomfortable. It appears the people working there don’t know the art of welcoming a small group of women.

I have been wanting to visit this place for years. But never get a chance until last night. A small little place with friendly staff. Hard working bartender, by himself, so it was hard to get his attention, but I was not in a hurry, just kept on smoking my Avo No. 2 until I couldn’t hold it anymore. A surcharge of 10$ for bringing your own smoke was not bad, compare to the cigar prices there. Some seatings out in the front but usually occupied since there are the best seats in the house. The bathroom features the world’s narrowest sink, really cute.Great selections of liquor, from every day stuff to the high end bottles.Over all, I will visit again. Cigar bars in NYC are rarity and this one stands above its peers.

I cannot describe how much I hate living near this place. The bar serves cigars and encorages guest to smoke in their outdoor seating, which is right next to a playground.

This is a great cigar bar if you can get in. Its quite small and narrow and gets packed on weekends. We discovered that on Tuesdays, they do Whiskey Tuesday! That means that all whiskey/scotches are discounted. I had an $80 of scotch for $30 bucks. No complaints there. The selection of cigars is pretty good albeit a little overpriced. They have great cocktails too. I like this place. Its a great place for a small group to hang out.

Cool place to enjoy a fancy whiskey or scotch and a cigar but stay away if you arent a fan of the smoke. Great ambiance with big cushy couches and fine leather bound books abound.

I went here on my birthday and ended up walking out in disappointment. Their ventilation system was terrible, even for such a small place compared to any other places Ive been to in New York. The worst part was there cigar selection. Everything was old, stuff my grandfather would have smoked. Nothing of the newer age brands. I was hoping to spend some money and smoke something along the lines of a Padron but even a Rocky Patel would have sufficed. They had house cigars but Im not willing to pay premium prices for a house blend thats mediocre-at-best. I guess the only plus to this Lounge is bringing your own cigar is an option. Maybe for a newcomer in the cigar world this is place to try but for an seasoned smoker I wouldnt waste your time.

Heres what you need to know:- A time-honored cigar bar in the west village- In the warmer months, its a great spot to grab a sidewalk seat, a class of cognac and enjoy a cigar while you people watch- When it cools down, they build covered sections for the outdoors, but the indoors is equally as charming, reminiscent of an old library (as the name suggests)

We found 2 seats at the bar in the back on a crowded Friday evening! Our Manhattans and cigars were enjoyable.

Good cocktails, great selection of brown booze, and a transporting ambiance. Though I like it while I am there, it does suck that I come out smelling like cigars from head to toe when I go there.

One of the last places to have a cigar indoor in a bar in NYC, but feels run down and the service has a weird feeling to it

So the guy next to me says to his smoking companion, if they want that we should pay up, let them come and find theyre lousy money, cuz I aint got no idea where it is. True story. This place is legit. Go for the drinks, stay for the entire James Bond looping to your right.
