Best drinks ever and the service is the best i have ever been this place deserves more than 5 stars. We hang out in the cigar salon, very relaxing. Love it.

Loved this unique place! Highly recommend everybody to stop by at least once. We loved the variety of cocktails. The espresso martini was my favorite. Bartender upstairs was very personable, waitress downstairs could’ve used some people skills training. Can’t wait to go back!

OMG!!! Best expresso martini you will ever have if that’s your cup of tea (or coffee) Abby was the best bartender here and her drinks were on point every time!! Ask for her if you want the best drink of the evening! And ask for double chocolate on your martini if you know what’s good for you. It’s dark chocolate so it technically IS good for you

Very cool space. Bottom floor is a “book store” very lounge vibes, wooden and leather with couches to sit on. Take the elevator upstairs to the cigar bar, it’s light and well lit and bright, not like most dark cigar lounges. They have a full bar with excellent cocktails and an excellent bar tender who also has a ton of cigar knowledge, chess boards, huge cigar selection.

This unique four-story venue offers something for everyone. The basement features a cozy speakeasy, the first floor is a charming bookstore/bar, the second floor serves as an elegant event space, and the top floor is a sophisticated cigar lounge. We spent most of our time in the cigar lounge, which had an impressive selection—including some of our favorites from Deadwood, South Dakota. The drinks were absolutely delicious, and the overall atmosphere was upscale yet relaxed. Highly recommend for a memorable night out!

I was here twice over a couple of days and danger this is a neat spot. They have seasonal drinks that are some of my all time favorites. Not to mention this place is very unique. There are three floors with a cigar lounge, a book store (the entry floor), and a dark speakeasy in the basement. They all have the same menus just a different vibe.

We went as a family to celebrate our son's 21st birthday. We dressed up, had cocktails on 3 levels, including the cigar bar. It was PERFECT! Great cocktails or a great vibe would be enough, but you get both. Their signature cocktails are amazing, but so are their classic cocktails. Ice so perfectly clear, it's almost invisible. Garnishes beautifully executed as if the place wasn't packed. Great cocktails, check. Great atmosphere, check. Great service, check. And... great people watching. Thompsons brings in drink and cigar afficionados of all kinds, and it's a blast. My son talked to a legit cattle rancher for an hour in the cigar bar! We will definitely make the drive out again to settle in for hours of a perfect night out. You should, too.

I've been wanting to come here for quite a while now. The ambient lighting, environment, and all the details placed into this speakeasy were just perfect. The drinks were great, the staff was very friendly and nice. Checked out the cigar lounge space, which was also very nice. Overall, everything was great, I didn't have a single con, really. I'll definitely be back again. It's great vibes and great times
