What a nice comfortable getaway for those that enjoy cigars, whiskey, beer, and (a pleasant surprise) freshly ground pressed coffee.The ambiance is a perfect balance for those seeking introverted relaxation or the social butterflies looking for interesting conversations.The best part is the courteous staff that provides expert advice on cigars spirits and most importantly the right pairing of the two. Great for the novice smoker.Also perfect for the connoisseurs with a mature selection that will satisfy any palate.

For as long as this place has been in Raleigh its still raggedy and rundown. Havana Deluxe is nowhere near deluxe. Its a dark hole with a lackluster atmosphere.The staff are rude and unprofessional. The bathrooms are not clean and the carpet throughout the building is hideous.

If you like whiskey look no further! The bar tenders are knowledgeable about whiskey and they have one of the most extensive selections around. I always take friends from out of town here.

Great time here.with my 3 buddies and myself. The fire bearded bartender was very knowledgeable about the cigars they had available. After throwing some darts and then locals putting up with our country ascents we felt very welcome. Definitely worth stopping by if you enjoy a good cigar.

Review №32

Wow what a disappointment. Had great reviews but the place is a dump. I have more of a cigar selection in my own humidor. Service was good but the place is old and in need of serious upgrades. If I had known I could have brought my own sticks I would not have spent money on an over priced one there.

Havana’s is a great place, my girl brought me here a year ago for the first time and I love it. Mike the bartender knows what he is talking cigar and liquor wise, even if you don’t know what you like he will help you find something you like. This is definitely a regular spot for me!

Review №37

Very nice relaxed cigar lounge. A great place for smokers to sit back, relax, grab a few drinks, and have a smoke. Not pretentious, just comfortable and relaxing, as a good smoke should be. Was a great place to hang out for a couple hours in the evening. Great staff as well, very friendly with good service.

Review №38

Awesome place that has John the best bartender. Great drinks and cigar choices. Had to take it down a star because the ventilation absolutely can be better in there. I’m not sure what they’re working with, but it’s a LOT of smoke at times.

Atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. All patrons were friendly and interactive. But the bartender (Mike) was AMAZING. His knowledge of bourbon was like being in a class. Although he was the only one working with at least 50 customers, I felt like I was his only customer.

Note it is a cigar lounge/bar, and theres plenty of smoking going on inside. Their cigar collection is stocked with some great everyday smokes - along with a few surprise options as well. The staff is friendly and prompt. Very attentive to your needs. They also make some great drinks. Give it a shot if you fancy a great cigar with a good atmosphere.

There is no ventilation system, besides the few ceiling fans, so theres a cloud of smoke in the place. I felt like I was in a basement. That said, the cigar selection and price was great.

Review №48

My kind of cigar place. Had a speak easy style feel to it. No windows, dark lights and leather couches abound. The bar is well stocked with good bourbons. The cigar selection is OK but lacking other lounges in variety. I liked the place, great location too to start or end your downtown visit with.

This place is our go to! Not a lot of cigar bars in the area. Place is really lax and great place to hangout and smoke a cigar. I always get the Stella on tap and a white russian. Bar tenders are friendly and quick

Havana Deluxe is my favorite place! Mike, Stump, Mike and Jess always take great care of us. If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere and great service than Havanas is the place to be. Big plus that you can smoke inside!

Review №58

A wonderful place to grab a cigar and sip on a nice scotch, bourbon and/or beer. Knowledgeable staff regarding both services (cigars and alcohol) for those who may need guidance. Stocked with the variety of styles youd enjoy for those with experience in flavors they know are enjoyable. The proper amount of sarcasm instilled within an establishment that has been here for almost 20 years. Recommended for those who enjoy good tabacco, good selection of alcohol and often good people/conversation. Of course, you can always bring that last part of the good yourself!

Bartenders were knowledgeable. Bounder was friendly. The atmosphere was just ehh. Nothing really stood out to me as enjoyable. Though if you really are all about cigars and drinks and a smokey environment then I guess this would be your cup of tea.

Dive. What a hole this place was. People were NASTY, staff werent helpful at ALL. Stood for 45 minutes right at the bar before the bartender could tear himself from his conversation long enough too ask, What do you want!?Cigar selection was less than appealing. One would think a cigar bar, would have a decent selection of cigars, not the bottom of the barrel kind you can buy at ANY cigarette outlet or smoke shop for HALF the cost of their premium Macanudos, Black and Milds, etc.I wouldnt recommend this place to any serious cigar afacianado

Its not bad, kinda dark and has more of a basement feel than an actual cigar lounge. Small selection of cigars. No walk-in humidor, just a cigar cabinet and a menu you select the cigars from.

Review №95

This is an oasis of chill on a street sea of college students. This little hideaway seems to culture a crowd that is fun but mature. The cigar section is a reasonable 15-20 sticks that one orders from a menu and on my last visit they had Avo, Rocky Patel, Montecristo, other heavy hitters, and even some hidden gems. Their liquor selection is really good for Raleigh, with at least 3 scotches from each region as well as whiskey and bourbon and plenty of beer, though their draft selection is not huge. Enjoy it all on comfy, worn-in couches or shoot darts. Its like the mancave I never had. Definitely recommended.
