Drackenbergs Cigar Bar

So I feel kind of weird reviewing this place because my whole experience here was way past anything that could possibly be normal. So I’m just going to keep this real short.
I went here after a night at the Inferno and haven’t been back since. I accidentally got a little too drunk and really needed some food so my boyfriend and I joined some friends that were already at Drackenbergs. I got a cigar and my boyfriend ordered us some soda and a pizza. The place is kinda cramped and I’m not really a fan of the selection of cigars. The pizza was terrible, but we were told that up front so I don’t hold it against them at all. The owner was rude, but my friends weren’t exactly being the best of people. My boyfriend and I didn’t do anything and tried to distance ourselves from our friends so it kind of sucked that it spilled over to us. My boyfriend swears we were overcharged and wanted to take it up with the owner, but the night got weird at that point. I asked him to just let it go so we could leave. Unfortunately I just don’t like the selection or atmosphere enough to give it another shot.

This is by far the best
in Madison.
Great bartender’s and smoke options. You have to check this place out! You will not be disappointed. A totally awesome experience

Nice location on the north side of Madison. I desperately with I knew it was there the seven years I lived on the north side!
Jackson and the rest of the staff are very friendly, and the selection at the bar is nice — they’ve got one of the largest whisky lists I’ve seen in the area. If you’re not sure what you want, in either a drink or a cigar, Jackson or one of the bartenders can probably give you a useful recommendation.
The humidor, while small, is generally well-​stocked, if a tiny bit on the dry side humidity-​wise.
One of my favorite places in town to hang out with friends and enjoy a cigar and drinks.

I’ve been back recently, and the ventilation has improved. Not have to squeeze past smelly fat dudes this time was a huge plus. Good beer on tap. If I lived closer, I’d give this place another shot. And another…

Conveniently located on Madison’s near north side, Drackenberg’s is home of a large selection of fine cigars and a wide assortment of domestic, imported, (and exotic) wines, beers, and liquors… that was from their website… truth.
I love this bar. Jackson and his staff are both amiable and knowledgeable. Which is very difficult to find on the fashionable East side of Madison. The beer selection rotates regularly and is always capable of accompanying a fine cigar. Jackson has also stocked the bar with an extensive amount of wines and liquors… If you are looking for it… He’s probably got it back there somewhere. Sometimes it can get a bit smokey in the establishment… but hey… it’s a cigar bar… what would you expect?
