"I don’t even smoke and this place is so cool. The atmosphere is incredible. The staff is welcoming. The history of this place is worth the visit."

"What a unique and great place. Terrific seating areas throughout the shop. Full bar! The ventilation system is incredible, absolutely no smoke in the air somehow. As the night progressed was shocked to see the number of younger people smoking cigars. Definitely worth the trip. Stop in with some friends you won’t be disappointed!!"

"Loved the vibe- dark, calm and elegant. I’m not a cigar expert but. The one I had was really good. Great place to chill with coffee, a drink, or a cigar. I’ll definitely be back."

"Packed on a Wednesday night with a Jazz band playing. Since 2004 the Owl Shop has been the only public venue in CT where you can smoke cigars and drink. The Owl Shop originally opened as a bookstore in 1934 at 84 ½ Wall Street in New Haven, CT."

"I've been coming here for many years but as I get older I appreciate things like quiet time and conversation. I showed up and completely forgot that Jazz night was in session. That was amazing. Because despite how quiet it wasn't I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was wonderful, but what was more amazing was that the band played, "Caravan" at the end and that was amazing. All of the staff is always super friendly and kind! We got taken care of right away without any issues! Can't wait to be back and have a couple more cigars!"
