Stogies Cigar Lounge — Restaurant in Montreal

Our experience at Stogies Cigar Bar in Montreal didn’t start off on the best note. It was our first time in the city, and as always, my priority when traveling is to find a good cigar lounge. Upon arrival, I was initially hesitant – the bar’s appearance was somewhat uninviting, and I almost reconsidered going in.

Once I reached the second floor, the atmosphere gave off a speakeasy vibe, with a sense of privacy that I appreciated.

Seeing several better, unoccupied tables, I voiced my concern and was close to leaving. Thankfully, the situation took a turn for the better when they reassigned us to a much better table.

Our server promptly took our drink orders and, upon bringing them, invited me to visit the cigar humidor. I found it interesting that in Canada, they cover the cigar bands with a black band, preventing you from seeing the brand.

My wife had three Moscow Mules and barely cracked a smile.

In the end, I enjoyed the experience, and despite the rocky start, I would recommend Stogies to fellow cigar lovers. The cigar selection, ambiance, and overall service made up for the...

We arrive 20min before closure a´d we knew what we wanted.

Bailey was efficient and gave a great service, the cocktails were strong and good

**I didn't see the guy from the last time Everything went well (with Sena and Akira - 10/10 to the girls) until the doorman wanted to charge $2 for a mask that the girls gave us for free.

I wouldn't recommend this place, go to Whiskey bar or Alexandre et Fils for some cigar. It was my first time and they left a bitter taste in my mouth (not the cigar 😅)

Doorman is a joke, violent for no reason (short bald black ) - if you're frustrated about life don't reflect that on the customer of where you work at. Also my wallet was found on the floor during the altercation with $250 missing! Like I said, they left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Bathroom super small and dirty

A lot of upgrading to do with...
