Island Girl Cigar Bar

I enjoyed it.  Would be back in a heartbeat if I was closer..
We need one like this in Morganton, NC.

I love stopping at any Island Girl location in Jax when I happen to be in town. No liquor at this location was a let down, so I could only sit and keep my allergies in check while the boys enjoyed their cigars. I have a peeve about being reminded what time it is in relation to closing time. It makes me want to ask if they really want me there or not. Unsure if this was because some locals were smoking something better fitted for their living rooms, but we had no problems and our group quietly sat down at the bar hoping we'd get service. Had a fine time as always thanks to good company. Can't wait to go back, just sorry I got that "let me fucking close already" vibe from the staff.

No liquor?  That was my only complaint.  Seriously, what cigar bar isn't going to serve up a mojito, Scotch or whiskey?  Me and my boy Swan were drinking beers all night, so it wasn't a problem for us, but La Chica and her sister weren't, so they were left with nothing to drink except hopes and dreams.  LOL

Besides that, the place was small, or quant rather.  Unlike the Island Girl we visted last year in Ponte Verda, it was a lot more intimate, and that's not a problem.  In fact, I might prefer this smaller locale to it's Ponte Verda counterpart, to be honest.  

The cigar selection, also much smaller than the other location, had all of the essential offerings, including the Drew Estate JAVA line, which is one of my favorite "quick" smokes.

Service was friendly as well.  Will definitely return the next time I'm in Atlantic Beach.
