Dos Jefes Uptown Cigar Bar — Restaurant in New Orleans

Jan 01, 2018, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! We stopped in to engage in the cigar bar. Great thing about this place & how we came to choose it, was because of its late closing time... 3am!!!!! So off we go!!!!

Arriving was cool; not too many stares as we entered, stranger danger... Lol. I made my way to the cigar case for selection. When I decided, I elicited the assistance of John, the vest & pageboy clad bartender, for purchase. He clipped them and allowed us to use his lighter to get the party started. The price range on cigars was cool & affordable.

Because this was New Years Eve/New Years Day, there were sandwich trays to celebrate... How cool!!!!

Met a nice lady Tanya (ton-ya) & we shared NEW YEAR's Resolutions, of which I made NONE; we talked pooches & traded ER work stories. This was a great night cap; great cigar & convo.

Lots of room to move about in the cigar bar & even an open back room with lounges & mini-sofas. Good that you can get a drink as well while puffing on the 'gar.

Street parking is available & there are a few spaces on the side for angled parking.

I plan to return; I understand there's live music here on some days... hopefully they'll be sandwiches...

Dos Jefes is a classic dive bar/smoking lounge. The added bonus is the live music! Take a look around at the wooden indians, the case of fine cigars, and your fellow patrons, equally as interesting! The band was Keith Stone and Red Gravy, with special guest Lionel Batiste Jr. on percussion and Kazoo. We got there for the first set, and a round of drinks, and some cigars. Good music, fine drink, and cigars. It cold almost transport you into a different place and time! I suggest taking a Lyft or Uber, although there is plenty of parking. Usually not a cover, but I urge you to tip the band and the wait staff - they know the drink selections and can be fun and sassy. While it is not in the French quarter, It is a real "out of the way" fun place to experience New Orleans. Don't go if you have allergies or reactions to cigar smoke. Do go for the...

I came here to see a close friend perform. I sat down and ordered a Cosmo which was delivered with a gnat in it. I called the lady over with the glasses on top of her head and told her there was a gnat in my drink. She looked at it and turned to me and shrugged her shoulders. She says: well it's summer in New Orleans and I can't promise the next drink won't have one. She turned and cut her eyes while she walked off to fix me another. I got up to go tell her nevermind and she says: well I'm already fixing it. I won't go back. I will visit the jazz artists at...
