    Edit - 06/13 Outdoors is open came for beers and hookah , wonderful experience as always ....staff were so sweet , friendly and understanding. Will keep coming back for outdoors and experience As someone who has traveled over 35 countries and enjoys cigar and have tried few places one issue that I run into as brown skin non typical cigar smoker is staff attitude but here found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. Amazing choice of cigars given the place is in Worcester and not NY and lovely crowd and live music . Will keep coming back

    A typical boys cave feel. Very masculine decor and feel (wood and cigar) however the gender ratio remains equal. Definitely a great hangout space. Being a smoker myself i did feel they could use one more exhaust to pump out the smoke(after 9PM on a weekend) as it might get stuffy later in the night with more people. The people behind the bar was great and welcoming. Didnt try their cocktails however they seemed to have a lot of good variety of whiskey. Thats what i had. yeah bourbon in a cigar bar. haha. Overall a cool hangout place esp if u like to smoke (cigars or cigs and they do also have hookah/ shisha). One of the places I try to go to check out some live music(yes thursdays - sundays) and just unwind.

    Great cigar bar. Nice selection of cigars and a pretty good beer selection, too. Love the atmosphere. Live music a few days a week is a nice touch, too.

    Michaels has gone down hill as of recently. This is a place my friends & I frequent (weekly). As of recently the staff is not friendly and appear to be under the influence. The last two times they mischarged our cards. One for $100 and the other for $1,900. They laughed and said sometimes when entering the tip an extra zero may be hit in error- both times was with the bigger woman bartender. It took 45 minutes for them to attempt to figure out. Really disappointed as it used to be a really lovely cigar lounge.

    Been going here for a while and after a while noticed weird amounts charged to the card. Last time I went I got charged a 10 dollar tip on the card and someone forget the signature when I left the tip cash even tho u got my own drinks since nobody cared about coming to the table. Called and told the guy on the phone what happened and he didn’t even care about giving a solution to the problem but he just went ahead and told me that there is nothing he could do because they already batched the credit card machine.

    Very good selection. Tight, crowded, and could use some additional ventilation. Weird that they allowed cigarettes as well.

    Always great live music Wednesday through Sunday, if you're looking for a relaxed atmosphere to have some drinks and listen to some great local talent Mike's is the place to be. Oh yeah and if you're into cigars too they have a great selection 👌

    Always a fun time. They usually have good live music acts on the weekends. They have a large humidor where you can buy a cigar to smoke while enjoying the show. Waitresses come by pretty often to take drinks orders. Would recommend this place if you don't mind smoking clubs

    For what it is, it's very good. Just a great place to grab a drink and a cigar and watch a game or just hang out. The cigar selection is good and the prices are fine for MA

    Good place if you like the old smoking bar feel and live music. I enjoyed the hookahs the best

  • 5/5 Joe Baker I. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm not a drinker so I paired up a cigar with a diet coke so the bartender didnt charge me for the soda because i bought a cigar from him. The cigar selection was good, atmosphere great, walk in humidor was perfect. If your a drinker the selection of draft beers and hard liquor was phenomenal.

    I've been here a couple of times. Great security, Good vibes , pretty nice bartenders. Only gave it four stars because they paused the Jukebox for the game. Other places i've been to still play music during the game. This place did not. Overall I would still keep going.

    I’d only been here once about 7 or 8 years ago in a drunken haze with friends. Came back today mid day on a Tuesday and I’m happy I did. Place is amazing. Humidor is well stocked with a great selection of sticks. You actually make your purchase right inside of the humidor which I found super convenient. The bartender was very helpful in making sure I was set with my water and lemon without judgement. Sat all the way in the back alone in the dark and listened to Christmas music and the banter of the patrons out front having a great time. The vibe is great! I’ll be back soon!

    Dope little spot hidden away. Very relaxed atmosphere, Comfy chairs, friendly servers, big selection of cigars. Nice place to chill, smoke and watch a game. Definitely will be coming back

  • 1/5 Daniel C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place had so much potential. Unfortunately, they had the volume up so high for a random movie on cable TV that you had to shout to be heard by the person sitting next to you. People go to a place like this to socialize and they made that tough to do. It was really disappointing that they wouldn't turn down the volume when asked.

  • 5/5 ben g. 5 years ago on Google
    This place is aces. Easily 10 out of 10 stars. Excellent selection of craft beers, a rather lengthy wine list, an enormous range of rare spirits and an atmosphere that transports you to a different era. Nestled cozily in an old jailhouse within walking distance to hotels and parking, this place will not dissapoint. From live music to hookah rentals and a very impressive humidor stocked with a wide variety of cigars for anyone from a refined aficionado to a novice smoker, you won't be left wanting. They have a large patio area for fair weather events that won't fail to impress. This is a now a staple anytime I'm in the area. Take the time and you're sure to find something about this place that'll bring you back again and again.

    Great bar with a great atmosphere! Clean and comfortable seating. Outdoor seating was very nice as well. Loved the live music outside.
