Styled as a speakeasy cigar lounge on Fifth Avenue in Hillcrest and operating since 2020, Cigar Cave pairs a walk-in humidor with a full bar carrying wine, beer, and mixed drinks, anchored by a pool table in the dimly lit main room. The lounge holds an LGBTQ+-welcoming and transgender safe-space designation on Fifth Ave's Hillcrest entertainment corridor — a tobacco-lounge format that draws evening-out traffic from the same neighborhood as the seated wine-flight program at Wine Vault & Bistro, but through a fundamentally different room concept. Hookah and a terrace seating area expand the smoking program beyond the humidor, giving groups a choice between indoor pool-table sessions and al fresco cigar or hookah pairings with bar service. The speakeasy interior makes this a booking target for private cigar-and-cocktail gatherings in Hillcrest — a reservation-eligible evening format that operates in the same group-event tier as the winery and distillery private-event programming at FruitCraft - Winery, Distillery & Event Venue nearby. The walk-in humidor carries premium-brand stock across multiple body and wrapper profiles, with guided selection available for both first-time buyers and aficionados sourcing specific blends on the Hillcrest Fifth Ave block.
