The Scene
Cigars are as common as cigarettes here, and the joy of smoking a fine one is exceeded only by that of sipping on a 15-year-old Highland scotch. Beautiful, rich mahogany cocktail tables with raised ashtray holders surround the 400-foot walk-in humidor. Photos and a statue of Winston Churchill drive home the British-centric theme.

The Draw
A knowledge of British politics (10 Downing Street is the residence of the prime minister) will help when attempting to elbow your way into a conversation with the prominent crowd of politicians and businessmen. When most people are settling into work, patrons here are enjoying the generous happy hour, which begins at 10am. Too early for scotch? Try a pint of Chimay. This Belgian trappist contains eight percent alcohol.

My husband and I went this past weekend for a nice casual drink after dinner (and for him to have a cigar). The waitress was very friendly. We will definitely be back.

I love this place..... One of the very few place where you can still smoke. The food and drinks are both awesome, love the Ruben and Cheese and Meat platter. I love the atmosphere, blend of both young and middle aged professional people. If you love cigars you will love this place. All the staff is very friendly. You can just hang around and smoke a cigar or enjoy a drink. Comfy, cozy and upscale.

OK..I usually don't write comments OR stuff like that ; but PLEASE DO NOT LISENT TO THE BAD REVIEWS ON THIS SITE!!! I 'm from L.A. and I went to visit my boyfriend in Houston last week and after a great dinner at PAPPAS BROS(EXCELLENT steakhouse BY THE WAY) we went to this bar for drinks...the bartender and the waiter acknowledge my boyfriend who is a regular and they welcome me in a very friendly way....SO ,PEOPLE STOP SAYING THAT THE STAFF IS RUDE..because they are the most helpful and professional staff i've ever seen.As the matter of fact, I want to mention that when my boyfriend went to the washroom he left me by myself and there was a group of ''gentlemen" sitting across from us and they started to act obnoxious..needless to say.. we ask for the manager and he came right away and he move them to a different table so they could stop disturbing me!! TRUST ME!! NOmanager will ever care if a lady is being bother by some drunk guys and I LOVE the fact that they took action!! In the other hand, the place is neat and elegant,LOVE the dim lights!!! I would highly recomend this for couples ...GUYS if you are tring to impress her..take her here!! The only bad thing about this bar : parking!! we parked in the parking structure which it didn't bother me AT ALL ,but , after maybe 8 lemon drops you definitely wonder how you are gonna make it to your car!! SUMMARY: LOVE the staff - LOVE the crowd- LOVE the decor-LOVE the neatness AND THE DRINKS!!!!!!
