"When you first step inside Burn, it’ll remind you of an old boys club with dim lighting and the smell of cigar smoke wafting through the air—actually, it’s very old boys-clubbish since the crowd here is pretty testosterone heavy. The back wall is painted with large, slightly gaudy red roses, and in the center of the room is a large light pillar with what looks like upside down beige umbrellas hanging from the ceiling. It’s definitely a look. If you’re here for the full cigar bar experience, head to the back corner and browse the humidor, then head to the bar and order one of their signature cocktails—go for the 47 Reasons if you’re into gin. They’re open until 2am on weekends, so if you need a late night bite before heading home, get the crab cakes and loaded wedges—just know there’s a cloud of cigar smoke in the air at all times.

"They say you can’t be all things for everyone, but this high-end cigar bar manages it. It has the glitz and exclusivity of a Las Vegas lounge with the accessibility and entertainment of a sports bar. Case in point: A collared shirt or sports coat is required attire for gents, but trendy house plays (on non-jazz nights) and a large island bar opens up to The Battery for drinks to-go in this open-container zone. You can order a Whiskey Angel with Angel’s Envy Bourbon Finished in Port Barrels, simple syrup, lemon, and a cabernet float, and the drink will be well-matched with anything you might pick from their 400-plus collection of premium hand-rolled cigars." - Su-Jit Lin
"When the show is over and you want a nightcap and maybe a cigar before heading home, Burn by Rocky Patel at the Battery is a moody cigar and cocktail lounge that’s open late on weekends; I’d recommend dessert options like a slice of molten chocolate lava cake or sharing a thin-crust pizza." - Henna Bakshi

"A new premium cigar lounge and cocktail bar is opening at Battery Atlanta on Battery Avenue (across from Live! Sports & Social). Owned by premium cigar maker and entrepreneur Rocky Patel—who began selling cigars in the 1990s after a career as a lawyer and investor—this luxe lounge marks the brand's fourth location following openings in Naples, Pittsburgh, and Oklahoma City, and it hosted a grand opening party running from midday into the early morning." - Beth McKibben
