The Carnegie Club

The Carnegie Club is the epitome of old-school New York cool. Sitting at the bar, in Carnegie Hall, puffing on cigars, sipping port—it's like stepping into a Rat Pack movie. Sincere thanks to the bartender for hooking me up with a gentle cigar that has only left me with the best memories the day after. The vibe inside is just luxe. Such a cool night.

TLDR liked the unique experience and atmosphere but had some gripes Went for Sinatra Saturdays. The 8:00pm show doesn’t feature popular songs like New York New York or My Way, which are instead hinted to be part of the 10:30pm show, for which an additional charge applies, which felt a bit like an upsell. We had good seats above the bar but couldn’t actually see the band hidden at the front of the location, nor properly hear some of the introductory anecdotes. Lastly on the website it states that the tobacco fee is waived on Saturdays, but you can still expect a very smoky atmosphere.

1st time here at the CARNEGIE CLUB, and wow, we were not disappointed. You can bring your own cigars, whaaaaaaaaat?!! What other place allows you to do that. You can also purchase cigars if you'd like, so cigarette smoking is also allowed in here. I noticed that after the music stops, a lot of people leave. Definitely check it out!

It’s always an amazing time. Steven Maglio show is incredible. Jose the security guard is very nice and so is Aaron the Manager. They accommodated us even though they were packed.

Upscale Cigar lounge. Cigar Menu and Drinks Menu. You don’t have the choice to choose like when you are in a humidor. This is a cigar menu and all the options are pricey. Choose your cigar carefully because if not you are going to end up with a cigar you don’t enjoy as much

I've never had such a terrible experience. The waitstaff was rushing everyone, yelling that if we did not make our assigned time within 10 minutes they would give our table away. the security guard yelled at me not to walk in front of the stage. the waitstaff didn't even have cigar cutters. they were massively understaffed so wait times were super long. then on top of that they tried to kick us out of our table almost immediately after the set finished. I could not believe how terrible the service was. I used to be a regular when I lived in NYC but I will never come back here again and urge all other guests to stay away. 0 stars

This place is seriously one of my favorite places I've visited in NYC as someone who has been here 8-9 times. First, we tried getting a reservation for about a month and decided to test our luck by showing up and seeing if anyone was a no show. Luckily for us, a guy was giving up his spot right before the Sinatra Saturday show started. The show was absolutely amazing and we stayed for the second one. Our bartender, I think his name was Joy/Troy?, was FANTASTIC. Incredibly nice and quick to serve everybody's drinks. Couldn't have asked for better. My only complaint is that the announcer specifically said to keep conversations to a minimum during the show and people continued to talk loudly throughout. At one point it was hard to hear the performer during one of my favorite songs. I understand you can't really tell people to not talk at all, but conversations should have been hushed versus yelling because of intoxication. Other than that, it was a great experience!

Great spot for a nice cigar
