(Sept 4, 21) Oh what a night! The hubby and I were in town celebrating our anniversary and decided on a nite cap here. Upon entry we were greeted by the lovely bartender and the owner. The owner showed us around and gave us some recommendations we thoroughly enjoyed. We ended up smoking those and purchasing the same combo to take home. The atmosphere is very inviting and relaxing. The music was great! Anything you can think of was played. Great mixture for the establishment type. The drinks were on point! We had 4 old fashions. They do have a full bar. Sports and other things were playing on the large screen TVs to keep us entertained as we lounged in the comfortable oversized leather chairs sipping and smoking. A great ending to a wonderful evening of celebration. Well definitely be back when were in town. Thanks again

Cool place to hang out they have a separate room with 3 TVs where you can watch sporting events including paid fights. Plenty of cigar collection to suit your taste. Whatever your cigar preference is, they have it. Bar tenders are friendly and very social. The best of all, they open late.

Stopped in last night to have a smoke and see what the atmosphere was like. Sat at the bar and enjoyed an Andalusian Bull and ordered 2 Basilhadens. I chose the Andalusian based on a loose suggestion from the bartender. Although the female bartender that serviced me was extremely friendly and tended to my requests, she wasnt knowledgeable at all about cigars.The music was perfect with a mix of tunes from the 80s thru currently popular sounds. Additionally, the look and feel of the establishment was much more cozy than I anticipated. I will absolutely be back for a smoke!

Earl was awesome! We had $5 house wine that was delish and great cigar collection. Oh and dont forget the Cuban sandwich made on a Cuban press imported from Cuba!

Great place if a little expensive. The bar staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The environment is comfortable- the lounge area is a bit like sitting in your own home with comfy chairs and big screen TVs. They also do a good job of making the atmosphere not “too” smoky.

Dont let the shopping center fool you! this is the highest quality (and extremely well-run) of cigar lounges on the oceanfront in Broward county. When you see it from the street you do have to make a left and a u-turn and circle around. Itis worth the search for parking to find this cigar lovers gem.

The seating in the lounge was full and when I asked for Bourbon I was given Makers Mark which is not what I meant so I ordered another drink from the young lady with the amazing spandex pants. All in all, its a great place and I would recommend it for sure

If youre looking for a cigar bar with a full bar, great music and excellent service then look no further, Cigar Republic is the chill lounge for you, the selection of cigars are limited but nevertheless great quality, what it lacks in quantity it gains in selections. The servers are always friendly and ready to mix up any drink you want, from domestic & imported beers to top quality liquor. Come in on a saturday night and see for yourself.

Denise was amazing!!!! She knew her cigars and gave us a tour the moment we said it was our first time there. She did admit she didnt have some answers, the owner would have been a better person to ask (4 stars for the honesty)We came back to a grumpy, angry man and thought this cannot be the owner!!!!! We wished Denise was there. Because of the mans behavior, he lost a sale. Ill find somewhere else to purchase cigars for the fam. (0 stars for him)

Nice place, service was a little slow but no disrespect to the bartender, she was the only one there to tend to the bar and the tables/sofas and it was a busier night than usually. Aside from that Nicole (bartender) is AWESOME!!!

Review №25

What stared out as a simple in and out venture turned into an ugly and dismissive show of customer service. Behind locked glass it’s a box of Liga Privada’s. I simply asked for a T52 and was quickly asked “what is that?” with a head swivel from the bar tender. I explained and pointed to the box, she grabs a cigar cuts it and hands it to me, realizing it’s a #9 I quickly tell her what happed and she then starts in on me telling me that’s what I asked for and that’s all that is in the case and that is what she got me. I calmly pick out my T52 from the box, she returns the already cut cigar back into the mystery box of drew estates. Cuts my cigar and rips the cap. I’d rather gag down a swisher sweet from Walgreens next door then step foot back in this place.

Went there while on a layover going to Houston. Nice looking place but walked in and felt completely uninvited and unwelcome. Owner barked at me in front of humidor what do you want. I responded excuse me. He responded sorry, what would you like then reverted back saying No, what do you want!... Im the owner!..Dont waste your time, unless you want to feel like theyre doing you a favor! Stayed there to finish my cigar but service got no better. They wont see me or my colleagues or friends!

A/c too cold for me and music too loud. The place is up tempo. Its not for relaxation. Came in after 12am. Bartender is not happy because she doesnt appear to have help. Come in and try anyway. This is just my opinion. Just my experience. Im sure other people love the place.

Excellent upscale cigar bar, located on Oakland Park Boulevard, just east of the Atlantic Ocean. Polite, friendly, and beautiful staff - Ive spent many a night at Cigar Republic USA. Ive even thrown political campaign events/parties here on more than one occasion.Indoor and outdoor seating. Clean restrooms and great music. A great ventilation system means you can enjoy your cigar without a room full of smoke.I come for the ambience - smoking that rare cigar along with a great drink. I hang around because theyre open late. Great food, clean establishment, and plenty of parking - 5 stars to Nick and his staff at Cigar Republic USA.William E. Lewis Jr.Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

This place is located right next to Cafe martorano and is by far and away top-notch for cigar bars anywhere. Hot waitresses, and bartenders!! An excellent cigar selection in a beautiful humidor. I spent my birthday weekend in fort Lauderdale and wound up coming into this place every single night for smoke and a drink at the end of my night. I will absolutely be back the next time I am in fort Lauderdale.

I usually go to Archies next door after work on Saturdays then shoot over here for a Cuban Sandwich to go. Well tonight was no different, I ordered my sandwich and sat in the back and waited it. It was at this point that Nick (the owner) aggressively approached me and asked if I was buying anything, even though I just did! I explained that I purchased a sandwich to which he replied, Oh I saw you were looking at the charger And?! I left my phone at Archies, I didnt even need to charge it! I guess I didnt fit the appearance of their normal crowd. He finished our talk with Well if you buy a drink or a cigar you can use the charger Even though I just explained I bought a sandwich and left my phone next door. Seems like a guy who needs to have the last word. I like their Cuban Sandwiches but tonight was my last one. Theres too many food options in that plaza to deal with that kind of unnecessary attitude.
