Popular Post HarveyBoulevard Posted November 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2018 I am in San Francisco for the weekend for a conference and was looking to find someplace to relax, get a bite to eat, and enjoy a cigar and a drink. I did a little sleuthing and along with the advice of some FOH locals, I ended up at The Cigar Bar and Grill on Montgomery Street in San Francisco ( https://www.cigarbarandgrill.com ). I arrived earlier than expected and was able to check into my hotel early so I decided to take the 10 block walk to the Cigar Bar. It has been over 10 years since I was here last and I forgot how much I loved the city and walking the streets. It is such a great city. Anyway, I got to the location just as they were opening at 4pm. I was greeted by a super friendly staff and was able to have my choice of seats on the patio. It is truly a wonderful space. Secluded but open, good lighting, heaters, etc. Great spot for an outside smoke while feeling indoors. My waiter was super nice and very attentive so it took no time at all to settle in with a nice beer. First course was a light pilsner and a '97 HDM Des Dieux. I only have 2 left from that 50 cab. I ordered the Empanada De Chorizo y Queso, two empanadas stuffed with chorizo, white cheddar & monterey jack, topped with tomato sauce, onion, cotija cheese. It was delicious. Second course was another pilsner and a '05 Monte Double Edmundo. I ordered the Spanish Chorizo Stuffed Dates, dates stuffed with blue cheese, manchego, smoked paprika. Also delicious. After finishing the Monte and a third beverage, I strolled back to the hotel for an early night as I have to be up early with my head on a swivel. If you are ever in San Francisco, this is a great spot for dinner and a cigar (or several). If I lived here, I would manage to be there quite often. Tomorrow afternoon/evening I am going to try to hit up the Occidental, another highly recommended cigar bar. Looking forward to it. 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David88 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 It’s definitely a great place. I went in there for a drink and a cigar while I was in San Francisco last year. Wasn’t that impressed with the occidental but thought the cigar bar and grill was excellent. Friendly staff, good drinks, good food and a welcoming atmosphere, what more could you want! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
