First & last visit. We loved the atmosphere, cute place & went specifically to hear Dunning Shaw. Got to chat with him & catch up, and I ordered 2 glasses of house cab - got my bill & it was freaking $12 a glass for a 5 oz pour. Totally ridiculous. Sorry, won't go back. EVER!!! Way too many options in the Villages area with reasonably priced options and we aren't cheap skates. Sorry, but don't like to be ripped off.

A beautifully planned, and executed design for a cigar smoker's paradise! Very nice wine selection, as well as bar service, including your most popular mixed drinks. The incredibly well stocked humidor has your favorite stick, whether you are on a very tight budget, or your middle name is Daddy Warbucks! The cigar lounge itself is spacious and very comfortable with superbly designed and constructed leather chair, ang good air filtration. Alongside each chair is a well prepared service-table with large ashtray, cutter and torch, available for your convenient use. The cigar lounge is exclusive to only cigar and pipe smokers, but even your typical cancer stick (cigarette) smoker is made to feel comfortable out back, within 5 steps of the building. Out back there is a generous amount of comfortable outdoor chairs and tables, Not to mention, two gas-powered firepits to keep people warm in the wintertime, and 2 overhead fans to keep you cool in the summertime, supported by the superstructure of the open air carport, that all the above-mentioned are placed under. In addition to all this, There are 2 large dining tables and 2 wood firepits at the very back of this property, making it possible for people who want to have their own little party conduct themselves without others Invading this space, if private conversations are desired. Larry and Natalie always make sure there's plenty wood on hand to keep these two fire pits going seven days a week! I have personally been to countless cigar lounges over the more than 2 decades I have been a dedicated cigar smoker, and never have I found a more welcoming, cheerful, unpretentious and comfortable venue for such socializing. I would go so far as to argue you will be hard pressed to disagree with my opinion after you have taken me up on this suggestion to come visit and stay for a while. Once you do, just like me, You may be calling Holy Sh'mokes, your cigar, bar too!

Fabulous venue to perform up and close in. Great beers and wines menu along with other creative drinks. Owners Larry and Natalie really care about their customers and entertainers. It's nice to work for an establishment who promote the entertainers as well. Love this place, and want them to be a successful place.

My first visit to Holy Schmokes was fantastic. The bar area is spacious with plenty of tables, the bartenders were friendly and on point, and the music created a great vibe. The cigar room was comfortable with great seating and a relaxing atmosphere. There’s also a great wine selection and a light bite menu that looked really good—I’ll try it next time. We appreciated that the owners took a moment to introduce themselves—they were warm and personable. Overall, an awesome spot to unwind—I’ll definitely be back!
