Don’t be fooled by the staged photos, the décor is decent, but the space is extremely small, limited seating, tables/​chairs reserved for customers whom never make an appearance. In addition, there’s a cover charge just for entry.
In addition, the ventilation is basically non-​existent, in short, been there no need to go back…

A place to see and be seen for twenty-​somethings. A very young crowd, especially on weekends which likely know nothing about cigars I.E. the ones uploading cigar/​whiskey selfies to Instagram just ’cause.
Also, just quit smoking and I am reminded why upon coming here. You will have a decent time here at the expense of your clothes, bedding and car reeking the next morning and (yuck) possibly for a period of time afterwards. Poor ventilation. Contacts got dry very quickly. I suppose it’s the vibe to be in a smoky atmosphere but damn… Can I live?

It’s a very classy place. I love how fancy it is. It’s easily the best smoke bar that I have been to. It’s a bit pricey, but I still like it.

Ive been here twice and I totally love this place. If youre looking for a chill fancy friday night without the hectic club/​bar scene this is the best place to go! Their drinks are super strong and the ambiance is to die for! I would love to go back, and they are super helpful with beginners who have never tried a cigar.

Ashton is always my go to at the end of a night spent dressed up fancy. Don’t think that Business attire is a requirement, though! There is always a good mix of people here, and the regular bartender (Think Penn Jillette look alike) provides some knock out service.
There is a walk in humidor staffed by a dedicated cigar aficionado with their own check out register. He’s great for recommendations if you have a drink in mind to help pair it with. They carry Ashton brands of course, but you can find some other staples as well (Rocky Patel, Macanudo, etc). They allow you to bring your own cigars of course too if you’re a fan of Drew Estate or something other that they don’t carry (big fan of Undercrown myself).

I go to Ashton frequently but on my most recent visit the smoke was unbearable. They need to clean the filters more often & on a consistent basis! The place wasn’t even crowded & the smoke was hanging in the air. Otherwise, I love the joint but I just can’t breathe when I’m in there and now I leave stinking from head to toe. PLEASE CLEAN THE FILTERS!!!

This is such an awesome addition to Holt’s. I usually only go here to buy my boyfriend cigars for special occasions. But we’ve been to Ashton Cigar Bar a few times for a night cap when we’re out in the city. The staff is great. The atmosphere is awesome. Obviously if you go here, you’re leaving smelling like cigars but I actually don’t mind it. They have a variety of whiskey, scotches, but they also have drinks/​wine too. I think they have a small food menu. You can order a drink and smoke your cigar there, or you can just go purchase a cigar and leave. I’d say the dress code is definitely business casual here. It’s a fancier bar.

This place is cool. Was never a cigar smoker but I’m always up to try something new. We came here on a Friday night around 10PM and it wasn’t as packed as some other people here mentioned. Gentlemen, there’s a $ 10 cover for you, so expect to smoke one less cigar.
We came as a party of six and were seated on the black couches by the windows — ideal. The alcohol and cigar menus were expansive; the variety of whiskey expanded from mid to top tier (Glenfiddich 40 anyone?) I’ve heard great things about their old fashioned here so I had to give it a try. The gossip was indeed valid and twas the best old fashioned I’ve ever had.
I know nothing about cigars and they all seemed to range around $ 10 – 18. Had a buddy pick out a mild one and it was good for about an hour. We definitely had a good time with our false sophistication that was probably very transparent. But who cares, there’s a first for everything. Would definitely come back.

I love a nice cigar and a gin martini or Cabernet. I am originally from the area but moved down to FL but visit frequently. My friends have been raving about this place to me, understanding my passion for a good cigar. I love the atmosphere — all thanks to the couches, the bar, the high top tables and all glass humidor. We had great service — the server helped me choose a cigar based on ones I smoke (Romeo y Julieta and afuente). I had the La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Robusto — a great sweet, woodsy flavored cigar, even burn and easy draw. I can’t wait to visit again when I am back home!

A great cigar selection and solid advice on pairings of a world class cigar with an outstanding selection of spirits! My colleagues and i came here on a Saturday nite. The staff and our service throughout was excellent! The place has a great vibe and warmth that I found perfect. Saturday was incredibly busy and as the evening went on the place was packed! Took a star back not for quality of product or service, but the music got turned up really loud so we had to wrap up for something a little more talkable!

Had an incredible time here. Was easily one of the best places my buddy and I visited during our time in Philadelphia.
Came here for a night cap after going to a few bars in the city and came about this place. We were seated fairly quickly upon entering and led to the lounge sofas. This place had a wide array of cigars available, great list of whiskies on hand, and a great upscale ambiance.
Since they had Pappy Van Winkle on hand, both of us wanted to get a sample of the remarkable alcohol. Not disappointing at all… for all the hype of this brand. Smooth and just really damn good. I’m no cigar expert so the waitress help out to pick out a medium body cigar. An excellent choice by her and my buddy and I enjoyed the night away. Cigars and whiskies in hand.
Ambiance, service, and just everything was great.

I’d leave 0 stars if I could. Worst service ever! We have a party of 12, was promised the next available table… waited over an hour for said table, and it was given to a party of 6 who just walked in, because they knew some employee. Terrible business, terrible service, worst customer service ever!!!

Ashton Cigar Bar is clearly at the top of its class. In Philadelphia, there is no other cigar bar that can touch it in terms of selection, design, and style. With hundreds of whiskies and cigars to choose from, this bar is unparalleled.
Upon entry, one notices the exposed brick, nice lighting, casual vibe, and let’s not forget the beautiful hostesses and cocktail servers. The environment sets the stage for a relaxed setting that does not try too hard to be something it’s not.
As for the product, there are three central menus for the experience here. One menu involves whiskies and Bourbon with 2 oz pours along with both a menu for Specialty cocktails and cigars. For those that are on the hungrier side of the equation, there are only small bites here. These bites include cured meats, nuts, and other small snacks. If you pack an appetite, I’d advise you to eat before you get here.
My friends and I enjoyed our drinks. They were mixed fairly well and for $ 13+ for specialty drinks, they should be. I had a mojito and Hemingway., as well as a pour of the Highland Park 12 yr for $ 18. If you enjoy fine whiskey and bourbon, they have everything here. You can also get a pour of the highly sought after Pappy Van Winkle starting at $ 75 just for the 10 year. A pour of the 20 year will set you back about $ 250. As you can see, the best does come with a cost.
As for the cigars, they have a huge glass wall encased humidor with a great selection. My friend and I had the Montecristo no. 2 while my other friend had the Ashton VSG which is also a fine smoke.
As a venue is only as good as its service, we found our experience here to be top notch. Our cocktail server took great care of us, was attentive, and had a great sense of humor. We never wanted for anything because she was on point. Mind you, we came on a Sunday so I can’t speak for a Friday or Saturday here.
Overall, total five-​star experience here and I will be back for repeat visits. Leave the wife or girlfriend at home, and come here to hang out with the guys.

As a first timer, this was a great experience. Went with a group of people and when we got there, the place was packed but we found a table that was perfect for us. Our server was great and knowledgeable and really helped me navigate the cigar menu.
I felt pretty exclusively being there as the venue is nice and has a very classy vibe to it. Since I’m not huge on cigars idk how often I’d return but I’d definitely recommend this place to others.

Excellent place to go with your mates.
Large selection of cigars. Reasonably priced. The tobacconist will be more than happy to help recommend a good cigar of your choice.
As for the drink selection, it’s vast. Some very good quality scotches to go with your cigar.
A must when in town

My first cigar bar experience.
You enter on the ground level and walk up staurs to a smokey, trendy bar.
This place was PACKED! I was really surprised. I did not think that many people were still into cigars!
This may sound kinda silly, since I have no reference, but the place was really really smokey! I thought the ventialtion system could and should have been better. No?
I do not smoke cigars nor do I enjoy the smoke so I was a little out of place and my star rating is probably a bit biased.
On the positive side, I did like the bar scene here. There is a traditional bar area, high tops and a couch area.

I came back a few more times and my experience has been much better. I also love the air purification system that takes most of the smoke out of the air.

Was here with friends celebrating the birth of my buddy’s new baby boy.
Great place to take business contacts for a relaxing evening.

I was weary going to this place because after reading Bruce B.‘s review I was very skeptical of how they treat their customers. I think they have really stepped up their friendliness. We weren’t exactly dressed super well for the evening out as it ended up being an impromptu stop after dinner. But thankfully, the host and server did not treat us differently. I asked the server lots of questions and she helped us pick out two cigars. She was attentive without being intrusive. The sidecar complimented my cigar perfectly.
I told the boy toy that if we ever get accidentally knocked up we’ll have to have the baby shower there. The place is very well ventilated.
