Business Description from the Web

The sister lounge of the cliquey East Village smoking den of the same name stages its Caribbean colonial hospitality via coconut fronds, a red mosaic-tile bar, one faux- hewn-wood floor, and front windows that open wide to keep things from getting stuffy. Mundane pictures of happy cigar smokers grace the walls while unguarded real-life puffers—a mix of bar-weary lounge lizards and bleary,... more

Another neighborhood standout (and just down the block) is the famous Peter Luger's--so make a night of it with dinner reservations.

A beacon of cigars and sophistication in South Williamsburg.

In Short The sweet smell of cigar smoke lures patrons down a desolate industrial stretch and into a sophisticated change of scenery. Amid deep burgundy hues, exposed brick walls and dark wood cases, gentlemanly aficionados and novices alike burn down the lounge's own line of hand-rolled and aged cigars, which are prominently displayed around the bar. Between conversations from plush... more

NOT a cigar bar

There are three major faults with Velvet Lounge (note: it is no longer called Velvet Cigar Lounge):
1) You cannot sit in the bar and smoke a cigar. They offer cigars to sell, but you have to sit outside to smoke them. You may as well go to a cigar store (which would also be cheaper).

This place is perfect for killing a few hours, either with a significant other or with a big group of friends. They have their own brand of cigars (which are quite delicious- I'm not much of a smoker, so that's really saying something, haha), and a very wide selection of Ports, red and white wines, and Scotch whiskeys- a wide selection of everything, really. It looks pricey, but the prices are... more

This place is so refreshing! I'm new to Brooklyn and I'm always trying to check out new hot spots in the neighborhood. As soon as me and my friends stepped into the Velvet Lounge, it felt like home. We were greeted by the sweetest bartender and the vibe was so warm and intimate. Make sure to have a hand rolled Dominican cigar in one hand and a signature tasty cocktail in the other, perfect... more
