Cork’s Cigar Bar

Great local bar where smoking is permitted! Small humidor with decent selections and prices. I was here for Sunday football and was greeted with table of wings and hotdogs for everyone. Great bucket o’ beer deals as well as at least a dozen beers on tap including several local breweries. Super friendly staff and 6 TV screens. Awesome place!

Great little bar with a decent humidor, Arturo Fuentes Hemingway’s for $ 10 and Hemingway Short Stories for $ 7, that’s a hell of a price!

I can see why Cork’s is loved.
My brother and I stumbled upon Cork’s as we explored Bradenton and happened upon lovely, lively 12^th St. W. My brother loves cigars, so in we went.
Ambiance wise it is nothing exceptional, but exceptional is not always needed. A long bar sat plenty of people with good spacing in between seats, while round high tables dotted the back. Large screen televisions played sports while upbeat music played in the background. Lighting was low, but not impossibly dark.
The bar simply was comfortable and relaxing. The cigar smoke was never overpowering and the drinks were very good. The bartender was very warm and welcoming. He talked with us casually and was pleasant conversationalist.
We stayed a couple hours, drinking and talking, and then quickly paid our tab and departed. The service was exquisite and I hope Cork’s stays around for a long time when I visit Florida.

As the song goes, «I love this bar!» I love this place so much because there is always an upbeat, happy, and welcoming feeling here. Great pours and reasonable prices. Don’t let the cigar smoke scare you away… it is actually very well-​ventilated.

Bartenders are friendly and drinks are great! You can’t beat the awesome feeling when you walk in and see the brick wall and long bar! A must for anyone wanting a drink and love music on weekends. I’m a non smoker and it doesn’t bother me at all that it’s a cigar bar! Less smoky than a lot of bars I’ve been in!

From O town visiting a friend in Bradenton, this is just your basic downtown dive bar. Good service. Music. Friendly people.

Great spot to kick back, grab a glass of wine and a smoke. I went on a Saturday night and they had a live band — Mumbo Jumbo — that was awesome! Large cases on the wall filled with cigars, a bar full of wines, some great beers on draft and comfy chairs, flat screen TV’s and clean bathrooms. I had fun and would go back again next time I’m in town. I’m not a smoker but since the joint was not overly packed I could handle it – not for the weak of lung!
