    First time visiting was pretty nice the place was kinda empty and to get in was $10 entry which was too much for an empty place. That's why I'm giving a four stars. I would understand if the place was packed full of people it would be $10 or $15 for entry fee but for $10 and it was barely anyone inside which was too much to even get in it should have just been free. First time visiting was amazing I like how you had to walk down stairs into a dark abyss and explore your way towards the bar it was very comfortable and smoothing and smelling all the cigars and the air. It was different for me. The martinis that I had were amazing I've never had those different kind martinis ever. The bar look absolutely nice and clean and shiny the staff were very nice. And the customers were there and they were nice and we had a good time and talked and laughed. Next time I'm definitely going to sit down in a couch Lounge and enjoy a cigar and relax with my girlfriend.

    Nothing like a good fancy cigar bar complete with a full bar and knowledgeable staff. Spent 4 hours there, a couple cigars, many drinks, lots of good conversation. I will come back next time I am in town.

    Nicky Blaines is probably THE MOST CHILL lounge/bar that I have ever been to. They have a nice compliment of cigars to choose from as well. Our Server Marco was awesome, offering suggestions for both cigars are bourbons. If you want a great place to relax, have a drink and unwind this is it.

    Didn’t grab anything to snack on but it’s literally the coziest cigar lounge I’ve ever visited. New lounge/bars have a contemporary feel that I’m not so crazy about. This place has the most perfect atmosphere, lighting, furniture, noise level, drinks, service. Great place to visit!

    Nicky Blaine's Cocktail Lounge is a hidden gem that offers a haven of comfort and charm. The staff is helpful, respectful, and polite, ensuring a pleasant experience. The interior is cozy and comfortable, providing the perfect atmosphere to relax and unwind with friends. With its late hours of operation, it's a great place to enjoy your weekends. The menu offers a variety of items, including high-quality cigars for those seeking a refined indulgence.

    I would give a negative zero if I could . I can't believe how myself and my friend was treated last Sat night. I had been there once a couple years ago an had a great time with a younger aged group. I remembered the time an I had been telling my older friends that it was such a great spot. Smh no room fro all the details but after the host choose the area for us to sit and after 45m of no service in a empty lounge , we received water only and then when I flagged down someone an asked for a cigar an drinks , she had the nerve to waste her time an energy to come back to me an my friend and say some body told her we demanded to sit in the spot we were in. I couldn't even say anything. I do believe my friend and I were judged for me being younger an him older. I just told her that as far as customer service I can't believe you came over here to deliver that kind of message to us. And then we left . The door man was awesome tho. We tipped him on out way in an he was pleasant even before that. This replaced what used to be a great memory of this place with such a bad memory for me and for my friends first time experience. Neither one of us will be back

    The atmosphere is amazing! You feel like you stepped back in time the minute you enter. The hostess will check your coat, giving you that vip experience before bringing you to your couch. The drinks are great, waitresses are friendly, and the cigars are top notch. Plus they have food to keep you satisfied! We will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

    Always a great experience at Nicky Blaine's. Between 15-20 food options to try out if you're hunger. Extensive martini/cocktail/liquor selection. And an absolutely massive cigar selection (would recommend looking up before coming to decide on a few choices), with cigars from all over the world. Just as a warning, place does smell like constant secondhand smoke, but I hope you'd realize that after seeing how many cigars they offer! Excellent experience, would highly recommend visiting if you're in downtown Indy by yourself, with a group, with a date, etc.!

    Absolutely loved this place. My only complaint is that I didn’t find it earlier in my trip. If you’re looking for a place to have a nice cocktail and a mellow environment. This is it. Great cigar selection, great bourbon selection and nice comfy couches and chairs. What more could one ask for? I had a great time.

  • 5/5 Robert Mark L. 1 year ago on Google
    First visiting and was quite impressed with the atmosphere and 60s vibe. Very well ventilated. Well worth the visit. Reasonably priced. As for the service our server Roxanne was awesome. Professional, friendly and very knowledgeable about the cigars offerings. Made an awesome memory. Thanks Nicki Blaines.

  • 5/5 Richara C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very vintage 1950s-like, bar Atmosphere. Extremely enjoyable, Wonderful staff! STRONG Drinks. lol You walk down steps like your going somewhere secret and run into this treasure! It's a must go! But make sure your dressed decently or you'll feel under dressed for the Atmosphere. Great place to relax after dinner or a night out for stimulating conversation.

  • 5/5 Onyx U. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vibes and great service! Our server was attentive and sincere with product suggestions. While it is a cigar lounge as well as bar, and some smoke smell is expected, it was nowhere near as bad as I was expecting, so either we went on a less busy day or their ventilation system is amazing.

    I have been to this establishment many times and have enjoyed myself just as many. When any issues have occurred they were resolved very quickly. The management has been great. Best cigar bar in Indy. Also amazing food and drinks!

  • 5/5 Dup S. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife and I had appetizers and great cigars at this lounge. We arrived before 7pm and had many options for seating. We chose the comfortable leather sofa. This place has an amazing speakeasy vibe. If we stayed in Indianapolis, I could see us frequenting this spot. The dinks were amazing. The Kennedy 109 was one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. The seafood stuffed portobello was tremendous.

    This place is dope. Mark the bartender was really cool. He had great conversation and the place was a great end to a good NRA weekend.

    I can't believe I haven't been here before. The atmosphere is everything you would expect from an upscale cigar and martini bar. This place is a must if you come downtown for a nice dinner.

  • 5/5 Carson D. 10 months ago on Google
    Nicky Blaine's is truly one of the coolest cocktail bars I've visited. During my travels to Indy, I arrived late and was in need of a good drink and a light snack. Thankfully, Nicky Blaine's came through with their incredible seafood dip served with crackers that hit the spot perfectly. What sets Nicky Blaine's apart is their unique offering of cigars. Although I no longer smoke, the faint smell of cigar smoke added to the ambiance and didn't bother me at all during my visit. The staff at Nicky Blaine's were super chill and made everyone feel right at home. Their warm and attentive service made the experience even better. Nicky Blaine's is an exceptional venue that seamlessly blends sophistication and genuine hospitality. With delicious food, a relaxed atmosphere, and a staff that goes above and beyond, it's an unforgettable destination that deserves a visit.

    I thought the hype around this place might have been overblown. It is not. It’s a great atmosphere with good martinis and pretty good food. The cigar selection was decent, not everything on their menu was available, but they let us bring our own in addition to purchasing from their selection.

  • 5/5 Sean D. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a wonderful experience last night. The gentlemen at the front door was extremely friendly. He was helpful when it came to our questions prior to entering this establishment. Tried the Portabella mozzarella mushroom from the menu. It was delicious! Ended the evening with an Old Fashion for me and Martini for the wife.

  • 5/5 Cole G. 6 months ago on Google
    Man where to start about this place? I was looking for a cigar bar on my travels to Indianapolis and this location popped up. I've been to many cigar lounges and this one hands down was the best I've ever been to. Great selection of sticks and the drinks where even better. The Sezerac I had was delicious and the wife said her cocktails were amazing as well. The staff were phenomenal and accommodating. Love the antique Porsche racing posters as well! The atmosphere was fun and cozy and just made for a fun night. Thanks Nicky Blaine Cocktail Lounge for a great beat!

    I Normally LOVE and always recommend this spot. Went in a little later on a Sunday, after a colts game. Bartender wouldn’t open the main humidor room for us, and made us choose from a single box that we did not want. From there, at the bar, after asking for an old fashion, he brought us his version, and asked us if we could “stir and mix the drinks for me”. We headed to another bar that gave us the right attention and customer service.

  • 2/5 Brighton L. 6 months ago on Google
    Made an Awful old fashioned! It was definitely nice, however I ordered an old fashioned....a drink you would expect a cigar bar to have absolutely perfected and it was just bad! Came with a cup full of ice which was an immediate red flag. It was not mixed together at all so my first tasted was just whiskey. When I did mix it it was WAAAY too sweet and Since there was a cup full of ice it got watered down quickly. It kind of ruined my experience to be honest..I won't be going back. So it's definitely a nice cigar bar good atmosphere and our server was great....just maybe order whiskey neat...it's less complicated
