For those who are new to cigar smoking or are true connoisseurs, Fox should truly be a destination for you, especially if you're local! Their humidor is literally jammed packed with a great selection of premium cigars to fit anyone's budget. To make your experience more enjoyable, they have a full bar for you to have a cocktail or beer with your smoke. Cliff and staff are great! Very attentive, helpful, and QUICK...which says a lot since they are constantly busy with a packed house.
If I had to pick one "Nobody's perfect" thing about the joint, they need to regularly keep the White Chocolate Ale on tap =)
Thumbs up!
OUTSTANDING! Â Cigar enthusiasts should make it a point to visit. Fox has a very large humidor and they use the space to present an excellent selection of cigars. Â I couldn't comment on the selection relative to other shops in the area but it blows away my favorite local shop back in Virginia Beach. Â The prices are very reasonable and they offer a box discount. Â Their staff is very knowledgeable and very willing to help with a recommendation.
The smoking lounge is very comfortable and well appointed, it has (as the name implies) a full-service bar so you can enjoy a cup of coffee, a drink, beer, or wine. Â I did notice a selection of specialty bottled micro-brews. Â There are several flat-screen televisions inside and an outdoor area with seating, table service, a flat screen and several outdoor heaters fashioned like street lamps. Â Free wi-fi is available throughout.
Lastly, I was very pleasantly surprised by an act of service that I never received from my favorite cigar shop from back in VA Beach (here in AZ for 7 months on temporary assignment). Â Essentially, they exchanged a couple of lighters that that come with an unconditional lifetime warranty. I noticed that they carried them, asked if they could facilitate shipping them back to the manufacturer for me as (this was the only service That the shop that sold them to me offered). Â Long story short - they offered to exchange them on the spot. Â I lleft with two new lighters and a big smile.
Go, ask for Joe.

what can I say except, I love this Bar, as the song goes- when ever I am passing thru Gilbert - this is the one place I stop at before any other place - my cigar and drink is first on the agenda in Gilbert - nothing else matters in life except the simple pleasures - a good smoke and a great tasting single malt
thats my story and I am sticking to it..
Mr. M & I went out for a day date on Sunday and I wanted to surprise him by taking him to Fox's. Â We live close to Maduro's, but from the reviews Fox's sounded like a good cigar bar as well. Â
I like the smell of cigars, but that's really where it ends for me. Â I did enjoy sitting at the bar sipping some Woodford Reserve and watching sports on TV with my man, but it's probably not a place I would return to again unless we sit outside. Â First, like some of the reviews mentioned, it's pretty much a penis party in this joint, which is to be expected, and some of those guys seem to be pretty territorial over their spots. Â
Nothing like listening to some loud talking blowhards go on for an hour about golf or football, etc. Â OK Richard, I get it that you are avoiding the wife and kids, but strut on out to your 'Vette and let someone else have a crack at the comfy leather chairs. Â The bar stools were ok, but after sitting there for a little over an hour my cheeks were asleep. Â I can tell they have an excellent ventilation system, but you're still going to come out smelling like a lovely cigar no matter what. Â We decided we'd come back for sure when it cools off a bit and partake of the outdoor seating.
The employees and the booze selection deserves 5 stars for sure! Â And the prices were very reasonable. Â I can't remember the woman who waited on us at the bar...it was Miranda, Melinda, Amanda.....I apologize, but she was great and attentive without hovering and when I was curious about a Woodford Reserve bottle I had never seen before she was happy to take it down and let us look at it. Â We also saw her at Cantina Laredo afterwards and she waved at us. Â Really friendly people working at Fox's. Â Overall we decided we'd definitely go back.
Went on a Wednesday night and it was pretty busy. We sat on the patio since I'm not a huge smoke fan. Awesome beer selection. I had 60 minute IPA from Dogfish Head. Great, knowledgable staff. My husband had a cigar and didn't feel at all intimidated and he's not a cigar guy. We'll def be back!
Review Source:Best cigar bar in the valley. Their prices are so good, they stay competitive even with online cigar retailers. Drink prices are good and you can drink fancy or cheap. They have a sweet place and new amazing heat busting patio. Seems like their motto is "keep the prices low and people will keep coming".
Review Source:After years of loyalty to a few cigar shops I decided to try something different. Â Man, was I missing out. Â I walked into Fox Cigar Bar (7/9/12) Â and was awarded with kindness and expertise. Â Not to mention a wonderful selection of great IPA beers, Aged Whiskeys, and rare/hard to find cigars all waiting for me to consume. Â If you demand quality, this place is it. Â They have cigars sitting in full stock that other shops told me are impossible to get. Â Amazing. Â Pricing, not an issue. Â Prices were great. Â
The staff was awesome. Â The bartender made my wife the best Bloody Mary she has ever had in her life and I enjoyed a Zino and a Dave's Pale Ale. Â After enjoying a great smoke I purchased a few cigars that were all about at cost, great deals. Â The humidor had a cigar expert on hand to give great advice, not hands on, just right and walked around to insure guests felt at home.
This place had me at "hello"... Â I am now a customer for life. Â So much so, I am going back tonight.
Really good selection and great prices. I haven't had a chance to sit down and have a few drinks yet but there always people there at the bar or in the nice leather chairs. Talk is usually about sports, cigars or other things interesting. Staff is always nice and fairly knowledgable. The heavier-set white guy that usually there is cool and always asks if I need anything. Just about done renovating the patio. Will be back soon to have some drinks and obviously, a cigar or two.
Review Source:I hit Fox's this weekend as I wanted to take my date somewhere local that had a good variety of scotch - based on the reviews that I had seen on here, this seemed the place to go! Â
I'll be honest - I didn't smoke a cigar. Â ;) Â Not that I haven't before, but I'm in training and don't want to hack up a lung. Â From what I could tell, though, if you're a cigar smoker, this is the place to be. Â If you hate smoke - don't go there. If you can tolerate smoke - go check it out just because. There weren't very many women there, but there were a few (a whole table of them were sitting and smoking cigars - rock on!).
So the good for me: The folks that worked there were super friendly and accomodating. Â There were no seats indoors, but they found some chairs and table outside for us. Â My bourbon manhattan was delicious (even w/o out the cherry!). Â My date enjoyed his scotch immensely - it was one he hadn't had before. It was a chill laid back atmosphere. Â
So just some feedback on what would make this place 4-5 stars (in my book!): Â Update your website - I know you've been around for a while, but looks like it is still under construction. Â I would invest in tracking what kind of spirits you serve and document it. Â We were told you had over 50 varieties of scotch - but because we wanted to try something new, we couldn't make an informed decision. Â I know you're a cigar bar, but with that kind of liquor cabinet...Just saying. Â ;)
Otherwise, I thought it was a great little place and I think it's cool that you cater to the cigar smokers in the valley. Â Hope you guys do well!
What to say, what to say...I don't have many words that can describe my love for this place. Â Hundreds of amazing alcohol choices - whiskey, bourbon, port, beer...you name it, they probably have it (or will be open to finding it). Â As far as beer goes (since that's my specialty), they have lots of local options and are constantly doing promos and events with breweries and cigar companies. Â
Yes, it is usually a "sausage-fest" on any given night, but since I've been frequenting this place the past few months, I've noticed more and more women visiting; if not for the alcohol and cigars, then at least to accompany their husbands/boyfriends. Â It's a really friendly place, so women - please don't be deterred just because there are a lot of men there. Â The staff is knowledgeable about everything they sell, and there is always someone to keep the humidor running smoothly, so that even on event nights, there is never a long wait. Â
I love that I can go in there with what limited smoke knowledge I have, ask whatever questions I need to, and always get an answer without any judgements or attitude. Â There is nothing snobby or pretentious about Fox Cigar Bar. Â They will even give you advice in regard to which drinks pair with which cigars (while still allowing you the freedom to make your own tasty decisions).
While they don't serve food, many of the events they host include catered food, and there are some good restaurants around the area, so eat up before you go in.
yes, yes, yes. It amazes me that it took someone so long to get it right. This cigar store/bar is the future of all cigar stores. cigars, scotch, beer, multiple flat screens. very good selection of cigars great seating, nice events. The only thing i wish were different is I wish it was just a little bit larger, other than that it's the best cigar store in the east valley and probably phx.
Review Source:Go for the Rocky Patels! Great place to find and enjoy a cigar in Gilbert, liqour selection isnt too shabby either. The service has been great each time I've been here. I can't ask for a better place to sit down and enjoy some no'mam time with your buddy. Though I do have to say, get there early on NFL Sunday...it turns into standing room only. 27 stars!
Review Source:This is a maaaan's world -- in my best James Brown impression. Â This is also a man's bar, I think the term "sausage-fest" was coined here.
This is an awesome cigar bar with some tasty beverages. Â I tried the Macallan 25 here and fell in love, we're getting married next week. Â I'm not going to give you too many details because I want you to go there yourself to check it out.
My only gripe about this place is that they have two unisex restrooms. Â There is no need for this, it's a small enough place where there isn't a stampede of men running to the restroom together. Â C'mon, give the ladies their own loo. Â Also, toilet seat covers are a must!
I've been to a handful of cigar shops in the Valley, and Fox takes the cake. Hands down. With a vast humidor that has more cigars than you could think of and an incredible bar to match.
The staff is extremely friendly and very knowledgable of their tobacco and alcohol. Their prices on everything are very reasonable. I have noticed that the majority of their cigars range from $5-8 a piece. Now their alcohol is on the same page as their cigar selection. They literally have hundreds of whiskies, scotches, bourbons, tequilas, rums, etc. Not to mention the tap with a handful of craft and local beers.
Sit down in one of their leather chairs and have a Gurkha, cognac infused cigar and sip a glass of scotch on the rocks. Don't worry about missing the game, they've got plenty of televisions with the game on. Don't be mistaken, this is NOT your dive bar to watch the game. This place is better, plus they don't' serve any food.
Mitchell Fox (owner) is usually around, and even helped me out the other night. He gave some great ideas on cigars for guests for my upcoming wedding and was more than accommodating in what we were looking for.
Every time I've gone there's a handful of people in there, usually middle aged men having a smoke and talking. Very nostalgic and what you would expect and old school cigar bar to be like. You'll find locals with their laptops getting some work done, men hanging out, fathers and sons getting together, and if you're as fortunate as I am... you'll be there with your fiancée enjoying a cigar and scotch.
I have a feeling that I will become a regular, and with their prices and customer service, there's absolutely no reason not to.
Fox Cigar Bar is a must stop location for anyone who is looking for the nostalgic smoky bar that our grandparents used to go to. Â There is a great selection of cigars that range from the expensive (and hard to find) Opus or Padron to the low cost flavored cigarillos that any sultry dame would smoke.
Fox has to have one of the best stocked bars in this state with what seems like hundreds of whiskeys, bourbons, beers, ports and everything else I don't have the memory to write about. The amazing, and super friendly, bartenders will make you anything on request and even offer you some of their own creative inventions. Prices on the alcohol are really affordable and won't leave your bank account empty the next day.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday are the busiest time for the bar so make sure to get their early or you won't be able to sit in their leather chairs or at the bar (standing room only). It's not a huge deal either way because the dimly lit room has 7 tv's to keep you entertained or people from all walks of life to talk to.
Go for the smoking. Go for the drinks. Just find a reason to go!
This is going to become quite a cool hangout for anyone who enjoys a good cigar and a beverage that goes well with that cigar. The humidor is well stocked with high end products and they have great inventory of accessories for enjoying this simple pleasure of life.
This is a cozy destination for a night out to enjoy a great cigar in a comfortable setting.
Go. You will enjoy yourself.
Fox Cigar Bar is open for business! Â The newly renovated shop has a large glass enclosed humidor, a large bar area with bar stools, and cigar accessory sales. Â There are individual leather smoking chairs placed throughout the shop with plenty of ashtrays nearby. Â
7 - count 'em - 7 television screens hung on the walls, so you are sure to catch the game from anywhere in the shop. Â I am not sure if they are serving alcohol there, as their limited hours have left me peering in through the front door after 9 pm. Â
The hours posted on the door are 10am - 9 pm Seven days a week.
P.S. Â This is the former Casa Fuma location. Â I am soooooooooo happy someone put another cigar shop here!
