HERFIO GUIDE
Where to have a cigar and a cocktail in St. Louis.
The clearest cigar-and-cocktail options sit closer to the city's nightlife corridors than its retail-heavy cigar shops.
THE SHORT VERSION
ASH on Locust and La Puerta Negra on Olive give Midtown two full-bar cigar options, Brennan's brings the same basic idea to the Central West End, and Stanley's keeps the old-school version alive on Washington Avenue Downtown. These are the places to look when the drink matters almost as much as the cigar.
Ash Cigar & Bar Lounge
Midtown
Midtown full-bar cigar lounge with late weekend hours and public access.
Midtown cigar bar on Locust built for an evening out: indoor smoking, a full bar, cigar sales and late weekend hours. It is open to the public, with reservations available when you want guaranteed seating.

Downtown
Downtown cigar lounge where the bar is part of the core experience rather than an add-on.
Old-school Downtown lounge on Washington Avenue where the cigar, the bar and a place to sit are all part of the same stop. A practical choice when you are already downtown and want to stay put for a smoke.

Central West End
Central West End option that combines cigars, cocktails and food.
Central West End cigar-and-drinks option on Euclid with indoor smoking, a full bar and food. Membership matters here, so check access before treating it like a walk-in public lounge.
Worth knowing: Membership is required.

Midtown
Midtown cigar bar with indoor smoking, full bar service and food.
Midtown cigar bar on Olive with indoor smoking, a full bar and food. More of a sit-down night-out option than a quick humidor run.
See the full place profileHow we made this list: Selections require current evidence of cigar-smoking access, cigar sales and a true full bar at the same St. Louis location. Food, reservations, public access and hours help distinguish the experience but are not required.
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.
