The original. Before the phone booths spread to five states, there was this restored century-old room downtown — dial the code, step through the booth, and settle into Italian leather under hand-painted ceiling tiles. Craft cocktails over hand-chipped ice, rare bourbon flights, a hundred-label cedar humidor, and a house cigar named for the amendment that started it all.
Castleberry Hill to Alpharetta
A decade of speakeasy glamour: white-tablecloth dinner, live entertainment, members' lockers, and the standard-bearer of Atlanta's Black-owned cigar houses.
Cam Newton built his family's Sunday fellowship a two-story room — library ladders, Southern kitchen, and a humidor stacked with Top-25 alumni.
Five thousand square feet at the ballpark with the busiest bandstand in Atlanta smoke — jazz Wednesdays, live bands weekends, and 400 cigars in cedar.
The intown locals' clubhouse: a hundred single malts, noon-to-late hours, and a bar run like a friend's living room on the Beltline side of town.
The north-metro destination — a humidor the family bills as Atlanta's largest, weekend bands, and the highest marks of any room on this list.
