Española Cigar Bar & Lounge — Restaurant in Miami Beach

I was recommended this place from our Airbnb host and we were not disappointed. I was hosting a bachelor party for 12 of the grooms friends and we decided to come here to celebrate our first night together. The hostess were ALL phenomenal. Specifically Melina, Carla, and Mario (The owner). They went above and beyond and treated us like good friends. The Grooms brother was surprising him in Miami and the staff made it so special! We secretly brought him in and coordinated his appearance and the staff came out with sparklers and it was a picture perfect moment that we will all cherish forever! I cannot emphasize how memorable a moment this was and I am forever grateful for the staff here!

I also wanted to mention that on one of our nights we were trying to find a nightclub to get bottle service (Exchange & Don't sit on the furniture) but the hostess there were so rude to the groom and myself that we decided just to spend another night at the cigar lounge. The owner Mario was so accommodating that he made a few calls and gave us the option to go to another nightclub if we wanted but we felt so welcomed at the cigar lounge that we decided to spend it there.

Now as for the actual food, drinks, cigars, and hookahs! The food was ABSOLUTELY delicious. EVERYTHING we ordered tasted great! The second night there the chef decided to stay later for US! As I mentioned before the entire staff was phenomenal Our group did not know anything about cigars but the hostess helped us choose some good ones! Not to mention the drinks were great!

Overall I would highly recommend this place! The atmosphere, vibe, hospitality were all top notch! I cannot emphasize how cherished the memories we had were! I want to thank Melina, Carla, and Mario for being so gracious to us! THANK YOU!!!

Do not hesitate to come here! You...

Drove to Miami from Orlando for a 2 day trip with my fiance. Heard lots of good things about this place. Food is decent. Service is sub standard. Waitresses too busy on their phones. Had to ask 4 people for the check.

Also, be prepared for a 20% service charge that's automatic. Nowhere on the menu does it say that. Additional tip = $0

Menu is extremely limited. 5 things on main course 5 things on grill.

Ordered Calamari. Came out lukewarm. No seasoning to it. Marinara that came with was bland.

Ordered Ribeye. Absolutely no tatse to it other than meat. $54 for a steak I could have seasoned better with just salt.

Ordered Chicken Parm. Marinara was bland. Chicken was very stretchy and cheese was thrown all over the place.

Cigar selection was just.....ok. seems that 90% of your selection caters to the basic selection and lots of unknown cigar lines. $20 for a house blend cigar is ridiculous unless you're spending that at Carnegie Club in NYC.

Most ridiculous thing was the separate glass case to house "high quality" liquor at the end of the cigar showcase, far away from the bar. Macallan 30 sherry oak in which you cant see how much is in the bottle and then there's the Louis XIII. Dear sweet baby Jesus. Look at this bottle and there's half a drop in there.

The entire place; food, cigars, display, and even the waitresses had the greatest Miami vibe ever. "Fake it til you make it." Keep trying guys. Stay far far away...

This place is beyond AMAZING!!!

Firstly, the staff is great, kind/polite and they all hustle and make sure everything is to your liking and always exceed expectations.

There’s always something going on in Espanola Way. Regardless if you’re people watching or striking up conversations there’s never a low energy moment.

Mario & Vinny (owners) What more can anyone say. They’re such great people that show so much LOVE, RESPECT to their customers. These 2 men give away so much and pour their hearts into their business. Their ENERGY is great and there is no place like this establishment.

The food is top notch and should be considered one of the best in Miami.

I’ve personally tried the wings many times, fried and baked with lemon pepper seasoning.

Whole fried snapper, was so delicious.

Lobster was extremely good, the Alfredo on the pasta was on point!

Ceviche is Tasty. Extremely clean and flavorful.

I ordered chicken parmigiana on a blanket of linguine Alfredo sauce. Oh my lord, every bite was gorgeous.

The famous cheesesteak, the chef actually grills a ribeye and slices it and adds cheese. This always hits the spot.

I’ve tried the tomahawk. Cooked to perfection!

Last but not least the bread is addicting.

Truly doesn’t matter what you order on the menu, you can’t go wrong!

Let’s not forget the great selection of smokes.

Personally I don’t drink but the alcohol seems to...
