Buena Vista Cigar Club

This. Is. My. Spot.

Great whiskey selection (you have to try the Hibiki). It's dim but not dark; it's actually kind of sexy in there. You can order food from next door too.

I come here every time my best friend is intown but honestly, it's the perfect place to bring a guy (if you know what I mean!!!).

All there's left to do is learn to blow circles!

Not a productive day today as far as getting the cigar I need. Saw that this place had 4 stars,but their selection is very minimal, BH, come on! I was looking for LFD, Julius Caesar,  illusion, something simple but tasty. Solid.

I'm sure they have Cubans, but even when I'm in Cuba, which is 3 times a year, I still need to know exactly where my Cuban cigar came from, even there they have bad ones. There is no way that tiny island can provide cigars for the whole world...

I'll be back for a drink here, if I can bring my own cigar....

Super cute quaint spot to smoke a cigar and have drink. It has a very masculine vibe but I brought my own feminine appeal.  I'm a wine drinker so the only downside is they didn't have ANY wine but the bar attendant suggested a port that had a sweet taste like wine and I was good to go. Perfect if you are whisky or bourbon drinker.

I didn't feel like going in just yet. It was my first time ever smoking a cigar and she told me what to do and so that's one more thing added to the list of things I know how to do . Ladies don't inhale!!

Sure it can be better. It's Beverly Hills damn it! It can (and should) get some comfy leather chairs, uniformed waiters and waitresses, some jazz in the background maybe, but alas this is not that kind of place. What it is is perfectly fine -- for Los Angeles, it's hard to find a better cigar lounge (I can't think of any). It's dark, it has history, the bartender is super nice and helpful, and they will get you that Partagas from the back. Oh yes! It's my new favorite place for a smoke in LA.

Great spot to have a smoke and drink on the westside. Rigo the owner is a great guy and has a lot of knowledge when it comes to cigars.

Found this place on Yelp,  friendly service decent selection of sticks, a little pricey but I'd say it's worth it.

  Good sticks, great atmosphere, awesome place to smoke a cigar and catch the game.

Excellent throwback to club days. All welcomed! Full bar, plenty good selection of cigars. Cool spot to hang and watch a game, have a stogie and chill.

Awesome spot for a relaxing evening with friends. Highly recommend it. On the pricier end but expected since it's located in Beverly Hills.

Wow wow wow!

I walked by this place going somewhere else and found it by accident. Completely fell in love.

What a fantastic lounge. Great selection and reasonable prices. It is Beverly Hills after all.  But it's easily worth it. And just so you know, I'm a heavy cigar aficionado. I've been smoking cigars for over 13 years and have worked at three different cigar stores.

The best part is, I don't look like the normal customers that are in here. But the staff member didn't judge me at all. Treated me like royalty and for that, he deserves my loyalty.

I could easily write a lot more telling everyone how good this place is, but you're going to have to see for yourself.

Great place to sit back, have a Hibiki, nice stoggie and relax. No other place like it for me.  Nice and relaxing. Not overly smokey. The prices is great. A must experience place.

The ambiance is very nice, and for that alone, I'd give at least 4 stars. Guy behind the bar was not helpful, and even rude. He has an elitist attitude and doesn't seem to even value customers. Customer service was really that bad.

We visited on Friday and had a great time. The owner Rigo was real cool. He knew his cigars, so he and my hubby enjoyed there conversation, there was  some good selection choices, and a full stacked bar filled with scotch, whiskey, tequila, and rum. No wine:/, which I love but apparently most people don't want wine when they go there according to Rigo! Anyway, Rigo paired the cigars up with good whiskey for the hubby, and I had a sipper of a nice top shelf rum.

The seating is top and bottom, if your spending a certain amount then you can sit in the top lounge area where we sat. I loved it! big sofa chairs, we are football fans so we watched the game, as we lounged. This place is a must. You can have food delivered to from the Italian place next door. It's Beverly Hills so drinks are priced accordingly, cigar prices are reasonable, atmosphere was cool. They are open till 2am.

I came here with my boyfriend on a Friday night and I had a great experience. The owner was very nice and very helpful. Definitely would go back!

One of the best Mojitos in SOCAL. Cigars are fantastic, Rigo is even more amazing. my goto spot in LA

I went on a Friday with my friend who's very picky about where she hangs out.  She didn't even smoke or drink but even commented she would come back lol.

As for my experience, the owner was very helpful and helped me pick out a cigar since I'm a newbie.  It's a very chill and relaxing place. Love the speak-easy decor.  Will definitely come back.

Very cool atmosphere, and a friendly bartender who can give you good suggestions on cigars and drinks.

I can not stress enough how amazing these guys are!  First off, the bar is superbly decorated.  You won't feel like you are in some stuffy Beverly Hills bar.  Secondly, the selection is amazing.  Most importantly, the owners are so great.  The guy looks like the guy from the Dos Equis commercials.  If you call him "The Most Interesting Man in The World" he just rolls with it.  Such great attitude.

I must also say....they allowed me to film in their bar one day for a really great price.  I had stumbled in their on accident with friends and just fell in love with it.  A few visits later I just decided I had to shoot a scene in there.  They were so gracious in facilitating it.  

I honestly can't brag on these guys enough.  If you like great scotch...great cigars....or great people this is a MUST SEE destination.

This is my new favorite place!!!

Great selection of cigars!  Whatever your preference is, they have what you desire.  

The decor is amazing!  Feels like an English hunting lodge.  Great bar!  Stacked with whatever your favorite poison is.  

Rigo makes you feel at home. He's courteous and helpful.  

Great selection of channels to watch a game or an event on television.  But the real draw is the clientele.  You feel at home chatting with the regulars.  I'm all the way on the west side and I venture out here whenever I can!
