Churchill's Lounge

I don't smoke. I don't smoke cigars. BUT THERE'S A DOG THAT VISITS HERE OFTEN NAMED OZZY (owned by the bartender Joe).

I wanted to get a cigar for my brother who had graduated from George Washington in May 2012 then started a new job in the fall of 2012. I really tried, but I can't remember the name of the cigar I bought for him. The guy at the bar--Joe--took me into the cigar room (maybe there's a formal term for this type of room) where they house all the cigars at the exact right temperature and helped me pick out cigars. Honestly, I was expecting them to be super expensive, but I think the most expensive one (the one I got for my brother) was in the $20 something range.

For kicks, I decided to buy a cigar for myself before meeting up with friends. Joe showed me how to properly light a cigar, and I proceeded to talk it up with the two other patrons. Both were white males in their 30s or 40s watching some sort of sports game and talking to Joe. I'd like to think that I entertained them for that one day with my silly girl questions.

In any case, this was really my first cigar lounge, and Ozzy the camera shy black dog really made it great. Oh, the people weren't too bad either. I think Joe said something about famous people (past presidents?) have visited Churchill's Lounge. I could see that. The chairs (none being used--all of us were at the bar) looked nice and plush.

Wow, Churchill's is closed

Good place to go if you want to smoke a cigar and just hang out with friends. I'm dissapointed because they did not have any scotch.
The cigar selection was decent. I don't smoke anything fancy. They had the Ashton VSGs and that's all I really wanted.

They charged me twice for my cigar purchase, and when I called they said to give it a few days and if the charge still showed up then I should talk to them.
Kind of shady, other than that its not bad.
