El Vecino

In my opinion, El Vecino ranks among the top five cigar lounges in Miami, thanks to its elegance and exceptional attention to service detail. While the humidor isn’t the largest, the selection is impressive—diverse, well-curated, and, most importantly, includes rare vitolas that are hard to find elsewhere. There’s always something new to try, which makes each visit refreshing. The cigar service was outstanding. They use beautiful torch lighters and provide a refined mise en place: cedar spills for lighting your cigar properly and even a small glass of water to elegantly extinguish the cedar—an excellent touch. The manager was both professional and genuinely welcoming, elevating the experience further. A true gem for cigar enthusiasts who appreciate quality, ambiance, and refined service.

Loved it!! I was looking for a place to have some good whiskey in a relaxing atmosphere. It definitely exceeded my expectations.

Went for a nice cocktail and a smoke. The selection is small, but the quality is great. Drinks were made well. Perfect pairings for a cigar

One of my favorite new places in the expanding Miami WorldCenter. The cigar selection is curated and well priced, the cocktails are well made, and the burger here is one of the best in the city. Crucially, the AC system is top of the line, so it never seems smoky. This is a perfect cigar bar.

El Vecino is a great upscale cigar lounge. Great wine choices and bar. The decor is spectacular. Eddy the GM is very professional and treat us great.

Victor always takes amazing care of us. Super hospitable & the cocktails are consistently perfect.

Good cigar selection and great atmosphere. They also run UFC main event fights live.

Still cannot get their act together. An excellent list of scotch and spirits, the vast majority of which they do not have in stock. Service is okay. The atmosphere is nice, although the music is a bit too loud. Not a top choice for a cigar lounge in Miami.

Amazing local bar but looks very fancy because the double fireplace and the beautiful bar. My favorite place to watch UFC fights - the always show the pay per view fights there. The also have what I think is the best burger in Miami !

Amazing cocktail bar with a cozy atmosphere and top-notch drinks. The Old Fashioned was perfectly balanced--smooth, bold, and expertly crafted.

Great new cigar lounge and cocktail bar in downtown Miami. Attended the public grand opening on May 5 and was treated to cognac and a great E.P. Carrillo Pledge cigar. Nice comfortable seating areas, TV for sporting events, great bar that also serves food from Michael Beltran's Brasserie Laurel next door (good burger).

Very elegant cigar lounge. It feels hidden and private. It's dark inside and it's smaller than I was expecting but it's perfect. It has a large bar and a good layout. I felt like the cigar selection was small, it's in the same area as the members only lockers. But it must be an excellent place because one of their members is Shaq! They have an outdoor seating area outside and the outdoors is nice looking.

We love this place husband and I like to come whenever we are in the area cigars and smoking experience is top notch. The drinks are great I haven't had a bad experience yet. Food wise we order the charcuterie and pan con tomate . We always enjoy our time plus background music is on point

Great new bar and cigar lounge for the area. Very swanky inside. Ultra-low lights and dark woods, leathers, and tones. The bar has an impressive selection of cocktails and spirits. The walk-in humidor is stuffed with cigars for all tastes and preferences. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They will keep your ashtrays empty and your glasses full. This is definitely the place to come and hang out in if you are in the area.

Nice upscale cigar lounge in Downtown Miami. I lived in this area back in 2001-3 and not has it changed. Good selection of cigars and an amazing liquor selection to accompany it. Loved the seating options inside and outside. Recommend!!

Great place to grab a drink and a cigar! Ambiance. Swanky cigar room in the heart of Downtown. Great bar. It's a cigar bar, don't go in there if you are going to be complaining about the smoke. Of course it's Smokey, but they do a good job with the filtration and--for a cigar bar--it's not overwhelmingly Smokey. Great customer service and professional helpful staff! Great place to come after enjoying dinner next door at LAUREL.

I did not have food. The service was excellent. I was served by Ed and rose and Jessica. They were the most pleasant people I have met at a cigar lounge in my life. I appreciate the service. The ambience was great. They didn't rush you for nothing and I must say I will come again.

Best cigar bar in Miami hands down. Great vibe, great cigar selection, always an awesome time there

El Vecino is a great upscale cigar lounge. Great wine choices and bar. The decor is spectacular. Eddy the GM is very professional and treat us great. Rose the Batender made some amazing old fashions

Best bar on Miami. Highly recommend to anyone coming for a weekend who enjoy a good cigar and drink menu.

The ambiance is perfect to enjoy a cigar and drink of choice. The cigars are great i recommend la liga privada h99. The service is also top notch. The croquettes are amazing 10/10 for the three different types of croquettes, the burger is also a go to.

It was great! They have an excellent selection of cigars and the bar was perfect for a nice whiskey pairing.
