“ We were looking for an authentic cigar lounge with a good whiskey menu and Carnegie Club did not disappoint! We spent a wonderful Friday night here and will for sure come back! The atmosphere was fantastic, the service great and there was even some amazing live music. The food to share was just amazing: we had a nice (very big) meat platter and some flatbread with hummus, so good! It was my first time smoking a cigar and since I told that to the very kind waitress, she explained me everything I needed to know, which was very helpful. I felt a little conscious to tell her at first but she was so friendly and open that I had no doubt I didn’t need to be embarrassed telling her. She offered to help pick the cigars too and was overall very nice and provided exceptional service. What we also liked very much was the wide variety of whisky options and the overall menu. ”

“ Easily this can become a favourite place for any cigar lover. Perfect spot to enjoy a drink and a cigar in a cozy environment. I know I enjoyed it. They have couple of suggestions to offer from the cigar catalog but you can smoke your own by paying 15 tax for it. ”
“ This is a must-see, must go to type cigar lounge! We've gone here 3 times since finding it! The atmosphere is beautifully decorated, the drinks were amazing, and there's always nice tunes playing. What I love love is that ur not overwhelmed with smoke! They have to have a very good ventilation system. I will definitely visit here again! ”

“ The Carnegie Club is a great spot if you enjoy cigars and live jazz in a classic, lounge-style setting. Sinatra Saturdays are a real highlight — the live performance brings the space to life and adds just the right nostalgic flair. It’s a great place to unwind with friends, enjoy a cigar, and soak in the atmosphere. ”
“ Always looking for the right atmosphere for a cigar, and that means having a perfect craft cocktail to pair with a perfect selection of cigars. This is the place, no doubt. Easy to get to, near everything from Central Park to midtown fun. Late night with Sinatra tunes tops the experience. Efrain took amazing care of us... he was a huge part of setting the experience over the top....not too much and not too little. The Carnegie Signature Cigar was a perfect selection for a late afternoon cigar! ”
