classy cigar/wine/spirit store with luxurious bar area

by mrscurry

My husband and I love this store for either just popping in to buy the occassional cigar or imported beer (you'll be amazed how many there are!) or spending an evening in the low lit sophisticated bar area. Everything about this place screams luxury (no bottles or "shots" in the bar, just appropriate serving glasses for liquor). Amar, the owner, looks the part with his smooth clothing style and his always present fedora hats. He is so helpful without being pushy or condescending. He always answers all of our questions and throws in a little education, showing his true passion for what he does. You'll feel like you've known him for years. I suggest grabbing a couple cigars from the walk in humidor and having a seat at one of the bar tables to order the Blueberry Martini (fresh blueberries/fresh juice). You'll always leave with a smile on your face!

• Pros: ambience, selection, helpful staff
