The Montecristo Lounge At J•r Cigar

Very nice and relaxing place to have a cigar. Food is good and staff is friendly. Would recommend

I have been coming to the lounge for years and have observed the gradual changes over the last 12 months, The current manager, Michael, has definitely made improvements and now runs the lounge like a true business as compared to the prior manager who was simply collecting a paycheck. The service is better, as is the food. and if you ask him a question he has a sensible answer. Additionally he is very visable and interacts with customers so there is now a feeling that the lounge is run by a manager that cares about loyal customers. The current group of servers work hard (even with staffing shortages) to maintain customer satisfaction and should be appreciated as well as kudos to Michael for fostering this environment.

Always a good vibe here. Excellent Staff and Endless Selection of Cigars at a Fair Price Point.

Things really have changed for the worse . I have been going to JR for over 16 plus years. Loved it. I brought many friends there. I have attended many of their events. I would usually purchase several bottles of wine there and enjoy it with a meal and a cigar. There was a small corkage fee $6-8. Even tho the wine was purchased there. The last 8-10 x I've been there the service has been terrible.. ....At times even rude. We all know people are short staffed since covid but slow is one thing, rude is another. I haven't enjoyed it much but keep giving it another chance. Last night was really upsetting tho because service was super slow and bad but the server was at least apologetic and friendly. I purchased 2 bottles of wine and we drank one there with our meal. When we got our bill they charged us $25 to open the bottle of wine. ..no warning. No sign. Nothing on the menu saying they raised their price over 400% . When I questioned the man there he said they raised price because many restaurants charge that and walked away. True , some 5 star restaurants with liquor licenses charge $20- $25 when u bring a bottle from home. ...JR is not a 5 star restaurant and I didnt bring the bottle from home. I purchased it there! Ridiculous. Sometimes I think they are purposely trying to go out of business. I'm done with JR.

Good cigar bar. Nice pub food and free cigar with entree!
