Belvedere Club

Glendale, CA

The discretion pick. Just over the LA line in downtown Glendale, Belvedere is the quietly upscale room — small, considered, and built more like a members' club than a shop, with a rooftop that steals the whole evening.

The main room runs about thirteen hundred square feet: leather seating, four sixty-five-inch screens, and state-of-the-art air filtration that keeps a full room comfortable. It's a design-led space that treats the cigar as part of a night out rather than the entire premise.

The Rooftop

The reason to come: an open-air roof with skyline views, the kind of seat that turns a cigar into an occasion. On the right evening it's one of the more memorable places to light up in greater LA.

The Table

A small-plates menu — steak, octopus, cheese — and a focused cocktail program, with invite-oriented events on the calendar. It's the rare cigar room where the kitchen and bar are actually worth ordering from, not an afterthought.

Plan Ahead

Hours are tight — Wednesday through Saturday evenings only — and it leans private and event-driven, so check the calendar and confirm access before you go. This is a room to plan around, not stumble into.

Why We Picked It

Because sometimes the best sit is the one nobody else knows about, under an open sky. When the evening calls for a rooftop and a little discretion, Belvedere is the address.
