HERFIO GUIDE
Where to have a cigar and a cocktail in Indianapolis.
For once, you do not have to choose between a proper cigar and a proper drink. Indy has a small but legitimate group of places where both are part of the point.
THE SHORT VERSION
Downtown is the easy answer here. BURN is the bigger cigar-bar night, while Nicky Blaine's feels more like a cocktail lounge that happens to take cigars seriously. BLEND covers the north side near Keystone, and the Antelope Club belongs on the list for members who already have access.
BURN by Rocky Patel
Downtown
Full bar, indoor cigar smoking and a walk-in humidor make this the most complete public cigar-and-cocktail stop downtown.
Downtown cigar bar built for a full night out: indoor smoking, a full bar, a walk-in humidor and hours that run later than most cigar shops in town.

Keystone at the Crossing
Polished north-side cigar bar with indoor smoking and full bar service.
Polished cigar bar near Keystone at the Crossing with indoor smoking, a full bar and a strong Davidoff identity. A good north-side choice when you want the cigar and the drink to be the same stop.

Downtown
Private downtown club with a cigar room, stocked humidor and full bar.
Downtown private club with a dedicated cigar room, stocked humidor and full bar. It is a real cigar setting, but it is not the same walk-in experience as a public cigar bar.
Worth knowing: Private club; confirm access before going.
See the full place profileHow we made this list: Selections require both confirmed cigar-smoking access and confirmed full-bar service at the same Indianapolis location. We do not infer either from the venue name. Private-club access is treated as a caveat, not ignored.
Editorial picks are separate from paid placement. Policies, hours, and cigar inventory can change, so the individual place pages show the underlying research and verification details.
