Davidoff of Geneva Cigar Bar — Restaurant in Paradise

The customer service will keep you coming back again and again. My Lady and I are new to the cigar experience, about 3 weeks into it to be exact. We've tried several bars and lounges and have had pretty good experiences with most of them, but Davidoff of Geneva is definitely a vibe of it's own. We first tried this place on Monday, and doubled back on Wednesday! I don't remember the name of the host but he definitely made us feel welcome on both occasions and was extremely polite, informative and gracious. We like to have a bite to eat before our cigars and the host informed us that we could bring our food from and of the surrounding food establishments. For our first experience we had Angelica as our server and she was a rock star! She's pleasant, super attentive and her customer service just enhances the experience. She sets the bar and exceeds all expectations, especially in a city where customer service isn't a priority. With most establishments there is always that ONE person that takes the experience to the next level, which in the case, it was Angelica... well, guess what? Davidoff has TWO! On our second trip we were fortune enough to have Norissa as our server, and this young Lady was AWESOME! If I had a high end cigar lounge Norissa would be the face of it! This bar has outdoor and indoor seating, we chose outdoor. They have TV's throughout the establishment and they are visible from any spot. The music is at the perfect volume and the playlist is one that you would love to have for your own personal enjoyment.Though it was a little chilly outside the heat lamps balanced it out. As for the cocktails I had the Zino's Coffee, and it was fantastic. I love coffee with my cigars, my cigars are coffee infused and this drink just paired perfectly. My Lady had the Blueberry Arnold Palmer and it was delicious as well. The chips and salsa were definitely the best we've ever eaten, and the charcuterie was good as well. We will definitely be returning to Davidoff of Geneva REALLY soon. UPDATE It's crazy how a place can go from 5 stars to 1 star overnight! Today I greeted by Andrew, who we have not seen before. This guy could really use some work on his social skills. As soon as I walked up he says reservations only. I'm thinking we've been here twice this week and never made a reservation, yeah my name was taken upon entering but no reservation. When I inform him I've been here twice this week he had the audacity to ask me was I sure... really? Then he says if someone let me in without a reservation they weren't doing thier job. He proceeds to tell me there is no seating available outdoors so we would have to sit inside. I pointed to an outdoor seat directly behind him and he says "oh well you can just take that one". I must mention his attitude was snobbish, unpleasant and not personable at all! A cheap suit, costume jewelry and slick hair should not give you the right to treat people that way. My Lady and I thought we found our spot, and at 2-3 times a week paying $50-$100 a visit you would think we would've been treated better. It's unfortunate, but it looks like we're back on the prowl for our favorite cigar lounge. I can say we will definitely return when Andrew is no longer part...

This is a MUST DO when visiting Las Vegas regardless of whether you are staying "on the Strip" or not.

Bottom line: This is a great bar that has even better service, excellent ambiance and an above average selection of cigars.  Definitely recommend you try their signature "Old Fashion"; probably one of the best Old Fashions I've enjoyed.

Service - AWESOME.  The whole staff is very attentive and is meticulous with checking back to ensure you are wanting for nothing.  Make sure you visit Antoine (aka "T") first.  As the Cigar Ambassador, he truly knows his stuff.  His recommendation was spot on; so much so I smoked two.  The bar staff is second to none.  If you are lucky enough to have Codi as your bar tender, you'll want for nothing the entire night!

Old Fashion - truth in advertising, this was all I drank.  While I was tempted to test their mixology skills by trying other cocktails on the menu, I just couldn't turn down their outstanding signature Old Fashion.  In a word - "WOW"!

Walk In Humidor - Yes, this is a Davidoff cigar bar but they had plenty of others to choose from. See the accompanying picture.

Ambiance - OUTSTANDING.  First, several people arrived and the bar staff called them out by name and knew their drinks.  Considering the bar's location is on the Las Vegas Strip (in the more touristy spot), it speaks to the high rate of returning customers.  The reason becomes obvious the longer you stay.  Second, there were no silly video poker machines or "one-armed bandits" in the bar area.  Realizing how these machines can generate revenue for a Las Vegas bar, the fact that these machines are absent from the bar speaks to how this places has to put a premium on spirits, cocktails, cigars and customer service; all first rate!  Finally, I'd be remiss in not mentioning the music play list.  It definitely added to the ambiance.  Any place that can weave Doobie Brothers, Garth Brooks, James Brown, John Cougar, Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind and Fire into an eclectic and enjoyable playlist gets high...

Let me start off by saying that I had high expectations for Davidoff given my prior cigar lounge experience in other cities and my overall love of smoking great cigars. I was intently looking for a great lounge with good atmosphere, knowledgeable and passionate staff, friendly service and I was able to find it here.

The bar itself was great. Indoor and outside seating. Patio heaters to keep guests comfortable while enjoying outside. Three TVs all with different college football games on (key for me, cannot stand going to a bar and having the same game on every channel)

The humidor selection was robust, with plenty of flavor pallets and a good mix of medium, mild and full body cigars. The staff typically cuts and lights for you, but since I have a special cutter and torch that I brought with me, I declined for them to do that and they were completely fine with it.

The drinks were wonderful, and we never had an empty glass. While the drinks were pricy compared to your local neighborhood bar, they were very reasonable for Las Vegas.

Food options were limited but what we ordered was a great snack.

Overall my experience was exceptional. Myself and 5 other friends sat outside for 3-4 hours. We ate, drank beverages, laughed, watched college football and smoked cigars and it was an incredible vibe. The waitress staff was on it. They were fast and very friendly.

I also appreciate that this establishment allowed me to smoke cigars that I brought with me on my trip in addition to buying and smoking theirs. Many places do not like that for whatever reason but the staff here was amazingly accommodating and took no issue with it, which gives high marks in my book.

I had such an amazing time at this cigar bar and there is absolutely no question I will be making stops here next time I return to Vegas.

If you are a cigar aficionado, casual smoker, or a rookie, there is a spot at the bar for you and you will be treated very well by an incredible...
