Great experience...one minor slip of serving a drink and no coaster, looking for consistency on a higher end establishment, otherwise, service was attentive, warm and friendly, and accommodating. Thanks! I look forward to going back soon.

My waiter/cigar guide was an old pro, w/a cool attitude! Prices reflect the overall experience; if you go you'll know. Vibe here was more energetic than my TG's visit on a previous trip. Which isn't a critique of either place. They're different in good ways.

Shelly's is a DC staple. One of the few cigar bars left in the city, complete with lockers for rent and a routine clientele that includes elected officials, government executives, locals, as well as visitors, all communing for a shared interest: to enjoy a relaxing cigar combined with exceptional spirits as well as spirited conversations.Whether you Stop in as a regular or a visitor, you are guaranteed to be welcomed in by a cheerful and attentive staff, great food, and reasonable prices. Enjoy.

Recently went to Washington with my wife. What a wonderful spot this place is.Friendly and welcoming with an atmosphere you would expect.The staff, particularly Mike, were very accommodating and knowledgeable of their products. They made us feel welcome and provided excellent service.If you’re looking for a place to go and enjoy a nice cigar and drink with your spouse, look no further.

Great cigar bar, plenty of options. Food tasted like the standard bar variety, but the waiter was awesome. A large amount of seating, and the air filtration system seemed excellent.

This is my brother's favorite cigar bar, so we meet up with him and his wife on a Sunday for an afternoon smoke. It was busy, loud, and extremely smoky. The service was okay. The food was average and overpriced for what we got. The cocktails were overpriced; $25 for a low end margarita. The company and cigars he brought with him were the best part of the time we spent there. I can see how it would be a fun place to gather with friends for cigars, hanging out on the sofas and comfy chairs. Just wasn't impressed with anything else.

Visited twice with friends on our annual museum trip, and its was a highlight of our DC adventure. Superb atmosphere & staff. Though a somewhat curious hat policy!Still, top drawer establishment!!
