8 Eighty Eight Cigar Lounge

Great spot to pick up some premium sticks. After the new management the establishment has been amazing a complete 180. I’ve been a member for about two years and the new staff is welcoming and helpful. You would never imagine a place like this in down town Fullerton. I highly suggest coming in grabbing a smoke and a drink of your choice and enjoy the spot.

Friendly, knowledgable owner and great lounge. Highly recommended for «Guys Night Out.» Nothing beats fine spirits paired with aromatic cigars. Their selection in the large, walk-​in humidor is impressive.

I love this place! The new owner, Roger is amazing. He has brought this place to life! New events, great customer service, great bartenders, knowledgeable staff, and friendlier atmosphere. You will often see Roger there enjoying a cigar and having a great time. New cocktail recipes are fun too! I was there last week and loved the live music; the first time that I can remember them ever having a live band prior to Roger’s ownership! Come on down and check it out.

This place is under new ownership, and so much improved! I’ve been a guest many times at the lounge, and I can really tell the difference Roger has made on improving everything from facility upgrades to better alcohol selection to a much improved selection of cigars, etc. etc. etc.
I may just become a new member after all!

I went here over the weekend to burn some time and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Knowledgeable and friendly staff! I selected some cigars and stayed awhile. Definitely will be back and I am considering membership as well.

Ummm, I can’t really talk about what happened at 8 Eighty Eight. All I can say is if a hidden dimly lit smokey private cigar bar intrigues you & you happen to be near Anaheim, then push the button. Buy your cigars from the dude up front. He is from the northeast, don’t ask me how I know. Slide to the back & take it in.

Best cigar lounge hands down. Owner was very accommodating, drinks and cigars in the perfect atmosphere. Big place, 2 big rooms, TVs all over, pool table. A definite if you are looking for a cigar lounge that serves alcohol.

Hanging with Rudy from Dallas. Drinking a beer & smoking a Cuban. They have a great selection of hard liquor here.

Love the New Management of this establishment! Jacob, the General Manager is super friendly and welcoming to all that enter the door. I will frequent this place more often now! Stop by and enjoy this awesome cigar lounge!

Soooo … I’ve been coming here for months, love the atmosphere love the bar and cigar selection, also loved the fact that try don’t charge a cover fee for men! Until tonight I was told without purchase of a cigar I couldn’t enter the bar. Why yall serve drinks I don’t smoke and didn’t think that because of that I hat r to be straddled nut to butt with every other jackass in fullerton yall had a patron but I don’t kno if I can return with this kind of customer service thank you…:(

Great atmosphere! The owner is a great guy! This is a nice place to hangout and grab a drink. Cigar selection is outstanding! I will definitely be back! They are starting bar trivia and I think this is the perfect venue.

Review 500. After much thought, im choosing my only vice, and a vice that some believe is detrimental to my health (understandably so).
The cigar selection is much improved. Basically coming back to life. Its nuce to see that new ownership is working diligently to bring this once proud lounge from ashes.
This a membership lounge. You have to pay to play in there although they let u buy cigars.
The back has two main bar areas. Theback has a pool table and an elevated vip like area with tv everywhere.
The front has tv, barstools and space for a band.
They have an outside back patio but its too cold in dec.
Ive been here a couple times for felix assouline cigar events and a few times with my buddy who is a member. I abhor private membership anything like magic castle so i wont be supporting that facet of the lounge.
Cigar prices. They are average for lounge prices which are 20−40% more. My car, patio, sbux filled with white people who are disgusted with smoking (i.e., snow), and nature are my favorite lounges and not places filled with 50 men insisting on sword fighting (ego not anatomy).
The service is good all the time!
This for you, a big fat

We loved this place. I took my boyfriend for his birthday on Saturday night as part of my ATF Day I had planned. He said he had been there several years ago when it was Red Cloud. They were very nice up at the front of the store and showed us around. The cigar selection was good and the prices were fair. b
We got a pass to go in the back private room for later that night after we ate dinner.
The back room is members only but I guess you can get in if the owner invites you. They have a bar and the big screen tv’s and big comfy leather chairs perfect for a smoker. I am not a typical girl and I like sports and fast cars and all things boy so I don’t think all girls would like it here. Definitely a guys guy kinda place.
I don’t smoke and I was the DD so I watched the game, had some free popcorn and a coke but it was a good time for my boyfriend!
A few NOTES: you will smell like smoke when you leave. The live music didn’t add much to the atmosphere since they were performing near the tv’s and I would rather just watch the games that were on.
See you again soon

Pleasantly Surprised with this place! Staff is incredibly knowledgeable, and if you’re a member (our have a friend whose a member!) you get to go through the secret door to alcohol and pool table! Leather couch was super comfy and the drinks were classy. Had a great time. Note for the ladies: you’re hair will smell like cigar smoke when you leave here

Great cigar store with good people working there. For example, the other night I was buying a cigar that was going to cost about $ 18. I tempted to buy it with my debit card, however, the internet was down and my card was unable to complete the transaction. I had already cut my cigar so the person at the counter told me that it was on the house. Besides that they were helpful and friendly. I would recommend to anyone. It was a great birthday gift anyway.

Love this place!!! The vibe in here is awesome, Stephanie and Jorge are amazing bartenders and Jacob is the bomb. This place is becoming my boyfriend’s 2^nd home… (me too)… Definitely will be here every Sunday.

8Eightyeight has a new owner as of about eight weeks ago and he is very personable guy. Very nice cigar selection and was told it will only get better. They brought back the UFC fights along with college and NFL Sunday ticket. No need to eat before hand, you can enjoy hotdogs, chili and other munchies while you watch your favorite NFL team play. New air conditioning and smoke eaters in the lounge and back game room area. Great people and no riff raff or roid heads. Nice place to bring a date or friends. You can have your business meetings and they’ll allow you to use their white board, iPads or projection equipment for your meetings. To be able to smoke and enjoy a cocktail is an excellent thing. The staff dresses very classic and stylish. It reminds me of a speak easy as you have to pass through the front of the cigar lounge and humidor to a locked door that you have to be let through to get into the full bar with leather recliners and large screen televisions. Very impressive. Male and female separate bathrooms. They also dropped the prices on their cigars and liquor to reasonable prices. Average cigar price is $ 10.00.

What a find! If you enjoy cigars, this is the place to be! As you walk in you’ll be greeted by the cigar expert. I had the pleasure of working with Harold. He showed me their very extensive collection of cigars & was very knowledgable on his products. Always important to me!
After that, I was surprised as it looked like he was taking me to the back, but as we entered through the hallway, I was impressed with a full size bar! With a VIP lounge in the back back with pool darts, virtual golf, & of course a jukebox to choose your tunes!
The bar had a very classy speakeasy feel to it. Everyone was elegantly dressed, & you have to be a member to enjoy the back. Which personally, I love. When the college crowd has made all the local bars packed like sardines, it’s a nice place to take a lady, or some friends & escape the chaos for a little. Members can bring up to 5 guests at one time too!
I’m definitely signing up to be a member, & can’t wait to head back for a very classy night. Thanks Harold, & thanks 888 for the great find!

This cigar lounge is awesome! Was greeted very well by the owner and took a little tour of the place. They serve liquor which is a plus and seems very chill inside and perfect to enjoy a cigar.

My first time here and I am hooked!!! Great atmospher, great comradary, and great cigars. What a GREAT way to spend a Sunday. I finally found my «honeycomb hideout» lol. I will definitely be spending some time here!!! Great place.

It’s been a long time coming!
888 finally has a new owner, and he cares about the place. He’s working to create the best cigar lounge experience in Southern California!
What’s the difference?
New cigars coming in every day with fair pricing! (Member discounts too!)
The bar is stocked with great whisky, scotch and gin.
Friendly members who welcome newcomers and visitors.
Great bartenders!
Bar snack mix, Skittles and POPCORN!
Cigar and spirits events with great giveaways.
A smart General Manager.
Air conditioners, smoke filters & new humidifiers in the humidor.
Killer events! Opening NFL Sunday was amazing with great free food prepared by the owner.
What’s missing? I’m still waiting for the promised new taps that will be pouring a variety of famous and local craft beer.
I wish I could give 888 4.5 stars. Once those new taps are in, I believe a 5 star will be in order!

What a classy place, feels like you’re walking into a movie. Leather seating, wood everywhere, beautiful bar! I like their assortment of liquor. And in the back they have a pool table, darts and Golden tee.
The new owners are doing it right!
