Pros: Atmosphere is chill, the people and bartenders are friendly and interesting, and the prices are fair. The occasional live music is a good touch.Cons: The cigars sold at the Havana garage are limited in variety and the humidor is not properly kept. Invariably a cigar bought there will be very dry, at least what I’ve seen in the last several months; bring your own. I’ve been to better cigar lounges in regards to cocktail/liquor variety.Overall it’s a good spot, but the dry cigars/lack of diverse classic cocktail options kinda kill the vibe for folks that don’t want just straight whiskey. For what’s available in Omaha, however, it’s your best and only option.

Absolutely horrible experience. Came in to grab a shot and the male bartender was EXTREMELY aggressive. There were other customers at the bar that stated their uncomfort as well. The entire experience was horrible. After receiving our drinks my friend and I were talking at the bar and the bartender slammed two glasses down and asked what our problem was, I asked him if we had done something wrong and he loudly explained they had closed at 1. I was confused as we had walked in around 1:05 and asked if they were open prior to ordering. It was embarrassing and uncomfortable and as stated before, several other bar guests expressed their discomfort as well. Disappointed as the first time I came here was an excellent experience so I had decided to bring friends that were visiting and we were treated so rudely it was humiliating and honestly the way he spoke was completely uncalled for. Sadly will never be back.

This place is fantastic! The bartender greeted me & my friend right away and he was very friendly & helpful regarding selecting a good gar and a fabulous table at the entrance. We will be returning for many visits to come.

Don’t show up. They are absolute losers. Lost key to humidor and acted like it was my fault. Would give 0 but then can’t post this review. Never come here.

Low key bar with a few cigar selections. I would suggest bringing your own stuff to smoke and allowing the staff to help you find something interesting to drink. Exhaustive alcohol selection with emphasis on letting the alcohol speak for itself rather than building fancy drinks.

Great bar. Go to their cigar shop across the street to get a better selection of sticks. Then spend the rest of the evening here.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff, good drinks, good cigar selection. Patio area where we sat was a bit dirty but otherwise a nice and relaxing experience

Absolutely love this place! Favorite place to go when I want to get away from life! Love the vibe love the owner and the people he has working behind the bar! There attentive and remember you! And because it is downtown the regulars that come in make it a place that have to go to to just catch up or have a little piece and quiet!

Great selection of whiskey and perfect location for airport travel!!!

Short walk from our hotel downtown. Band was playin, place was feeling it. It was little crowded but it died down, finally moved to a seat at the bar. If your a WHISKEY/ BOURBON/ SCOTCH etc, drinker this IS the spot! SERIOUSLY..There is some rare stuff in here, from around the region, some that is bottled from allocated casks..Scotches, Whiskey from Scotland, Ireland, Hibiki, Pappys. Hell, Templeton Distillery is right across the river in Iowa (Council Bluffs is across the river). Anyway...Check your ego at the door if you don't wanna smell like cigar smoke, because the whiskeys goood. We were here at an annual volleyball tournament, we'll definitely be coming back! ?????
