If the Gods could create the perfect cigar bar in their image... they wouldn't. They would tell you to meet them at Henry's. I read the most recent and the bad reviews when I go somewhere new. It took me minutes to read ALL the bad reviews here. And let me twll you... Some people buy cigars at gas stations and eat at applebees weekly as a treat and these bad reviews show it. If you want to smoke a cigar and be treated as a VIP (not like the servers cousin that expects a free dessert) this is the place. If you are the type of person that complains about how many Ketchup packets you get in the drive-thru.... go somewhere else,
Summary: Huge cigar lounge with a full bar, 5 star restaurant with a Michelin chef, great walk-in humidor with members lockers. Staffed with professionals and the most comfortable seating around (try the seats by the fire place). No matter how hot or cold, the patio seating is always a comfortable temperature. Did I mention full bar and amazing drinks?! I spent about $150 for 5 sticks, several drinks, tip and bought a drink for a gentleman that was enjoying his first day of retirement from the armed forces. (Was his name Brian? Will, please let me know)
My experience: I'm not local. I flew in for work, straight from the airport to Mansfield and wanted to relax with a drink and cigar. Walking up I saw the "Members only" sign, but saw they had a day pass for $20. T-shirt, jeans and a ballcap, I wasn't sure if I would get it, but gave it a shot. When I walked in and knew I was underdressed. As everyone was dressed to impress. I was greeted by a gentleman named William, as he was very welcoming and professional. I told him I was from out of town, first time at Henry's, wanted to get a couple sticks, and stay for a smoke and a drink. He explained the rules of the club and the day pass to make sure I wanted to stay and then welcomed me into the humidor. He gave me a quick tour/rundown of the humidor of where everything was located and asked if I had any questions. Now, I am a novice cigar smoker of 4 years and wanted to hear his opinion and recommendations on what they had. I learned more about cigars in 10 minutes than I have every known. I felt like I owed this man tuition after the education i received. I ended up walking out with 5 sticks. 3 based on the knowledge he bestowed upon me, 1 recommended by him and a fellow patron and 1 I knew I wanted. William then walked me to the bar to meet Mr. Keaton to get a drink and my cigar toasted. (I like to refer to him as Bruce Wayne, Mr. Wayne, or Batman) It was tuesday and was a little slow, so I was able to chat with both William and Keaton. After the conversation, I felt like I had two new friends. I stayed until the bar closed and William gave me a tour with all the lights on. This place is absolutely amazing on every level. My only regret is I was unable to come back the next night and come on the weekend to meet Henry. Unfortunately, I am not in Texas enough to get a membership, but I will be back everytime I am in town. Huge Thank you to William and Mr. Keaton for an amazing time, great conversation and making me feel like a VIP that...
Read moreIf you want a classy joint priced like a Vegas night club and don’t care about what cigar you’re smoking, then Henry’s is your place. Drinks are way too overpriced. $37.89 for a single pour of Oban 14 before tip. Cigar selection is very generic and limited, but that should grow with time. The “no outside cigars” policy is a huge disappointment. I live in Mansfield and was finally happy to have a cigar lounge that isn’t 20+ minutes away from my house and open to at least midnight no less, but I’m not a big fan of the lines they’re carrying, and as such I won’t be going back any time soon. I will always buy a few cigars from any lounge I go to as a show of respect to their business, but in their case I’m rarely in the mood to smoke what they’ve got, so I would generally prefer to smoke my own. However, if buying a few cigars from them isn’t good enough for Tony to reconsider that policy (even on a case by case basis), then his establishment isn’t good enough to earn my business. Aside from that, the wait staff was friendly and attentive, and I enjoyed talking to them.
UPDATE: upgrading from 3 to 4 stars
I've given Henry's a few more chances in recent weeks and am a bit happier with my experience. They have gotten in a couple new cigar lines since my first visit, and the cigar prices are what you'd expect from most other cigar lounges, so no complaints there. Their chicken sandwich and gouda mac n cheese are both phenomenal. Management and staff is top-notch for the most part! Roger, David, and William are all great to talk to and take my feedback very seriously. Natalie, Juju, and Cam are awesome servers/bartenders and will take good care of you. I guess Garrett is alright as well... :-P
As for my concerns, drink prices still continue to be on the steep side for certain drinks (typically single malt scotch among others), but I was assured that I was being given a 2 oz pour as opposed to a 1 oz pour at that price, so that does make a bit of a difference. In any case, there are less expensive drink options that I'm perfectly fine with. Lastly, if you want to watch a local team in the playoffs on the big screen, get there before the Lakers fans. In my opinion, local teams in the playoffs (i.e. the Dallas Stars) should ALWAYS get priority on the big screen over the Lakers or other out-of-state teams/games, but that's not really the case at Henry's unless the majority of the crowd is asking for it. Also, be prepared to watch sports with no commentary or subtitles. The only thing playing over the speakers...
Read moreMy friend and I recently had the pleasure of visiting Henry's Cigar Lounge for lunch and a cigar last Tuesday afternoon, and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable afternoon.
First and foremost, the food at Henry's Cigar Lounge was exceptional. We indulged in a delicious lunch menu that offered a variety of tasty options to choose from. From savory sandwiches to mouthwatering appetizers, every dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, leaving us completely satisfied and craving more.
The drinks selection was equally impressive, with a wide range of beverages to complement our meal. Whether we were in the mood for a refreshing cocktail, a crisp beer, or a fine glass of whiskey, Henry's Cigar Lounge had us covered. The attentive staff was also more than happy to offer recommendations and ensure that our glasses were never empty.
Of course, no visit to Henry's Cigar Lounge would be complete without enjoying one of their premium cigars. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about cigars, offering helpful recommendations based on our preferences. We savored our cigars in the cozy and inviting atmosphere of the lounge, surrounded by fellow aficionados and the soothing aroma of tobacco.
Speaking of the staff, I must commend them for their exceptional service throughout our visit. From our initial inquiries to our final goodbyes, they were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable experience. Their professionalism and hospitality truly made our visit all the more enjoyable.
Overall, I have nothing but praise for Henry's Cigar Lounge. Every aspect of our visit – the food, the drinks, the staff, and the cigar recommendations – exceeded our expectations. I cannot recommend Henry's Cigar Lounge highly enough to anyone looking for a top-notch dining and cigar experience. Thank you to the entire team for a wonderful afternoon. We will definitely...
