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.

Downhill Racer

DS used to be a great place to hang out. Management changes every few months and consistently poor server staff make DS a disappointment. There cigars are properly humidified but outrageously overpriced.
Most disturbing is their overt and subtle racsism. Employees refer to "blacks" as Canadians. DS policy is designed to "keep the Canadians" away, from the music played to the dress code.
Ownership is cavalier and distant leaving day-to-day management to a couple of people you wouldn't let babysit your children.
Used to be great. Been going downhill for a long, long time.
- Pros: You can smoke cigars
- Cons: Everything else

WONDERFUL ATMOSPHERE

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.

Love this place
by cats70 at Citysearch
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.
- Pros: Casual Relaxing Atmosphere to enjoy a cigar
- Cons: The drinks need to be less pricey
