Cigar Bars of Kansas City

Cigars were once popular among gentlemen who bought their stogies in cigar and candy stores, as common in the early 20th century as today's convenience stores. Cigar smoking declined for a few years but the numbers of cigar smokers is rising as part of a trend that centers around a new trend in major cities - cigar bars.

Cigar bars are just that - a cigar friendly bar or pub. Most serve drinks and many serve a full menu for their cigar smoking clientele. As the trend moves across the country, cigar bars are now part of the Kansas City scene. Although more may be scattered throughout the metropolitian area, two cigar bars are the best known.

Westport is the center of the nightlife scene in K.C. Just a few miles south of downtown Kansas City, Westport is home to many bars, lounges, and clubs. Westport is also where cigar smokers will find Harry's Bar and Tables at 501 Westport Road.

Harry's is an upscale cigar and martini bar but a full bar is available to patrons. So is excellent food - regular customers claim that few eateries can boast as delicious a menu as Harry's. Patrons are not only allowed but encouragaed to puff on a favorite cigar.

Another location in greater K.C. is The Cigar Box at 1519 Grand Boulevard. Closer to the traditional downtown region, The Cigar Bar is known far and wide for Italian-American food and cigars. Enjoy the tastes of some of the city's best Italian food along with the privelege to smoke as many cigars as a customer may want!

These and other cigar bars offer the ultimate in dining out for cigar fans.
