Lovers of brown spirits and cigars should begin an affair with Eight Lounge. The chic, 7,000-square-foot cigar and cocktail lounge impresses the minute you walk through the doors, with an abundance of club chairs and coffee tables, bar seating and a 2,200-square-foot outdoor terrace with lush surroundings. It’s easy to imagine spending hours here.
To the left is the walk-in humidor and retail space selling top cigar brands with more than 150 selections ranging in prices from a reasonable $14 all the way up to $5,000. Peruse more than 60 different brands that include standouts like Cohiba “Weller” edition, Padrón 50th Anniversary, Gurkha “His Majesty’s Reserve” and Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Series, as well as more recognizable names such as Romeo y Julieta, Montecristo, Herrera Esteli, El Septimo and Plasencia.
Ask your server or bartender to recommend a cigar and cocktail pairing like the popular Arturo Fuente Opus X Perfecxion 888 cigar alongside a classic Irish coffee or the carajillo cocktail paired with an Undercrown cigar.
