I'll be in Indi this coming week and would like to know of some good cigar bars and/or bars in general. Thanks for your help. I also took your advice while I was in Denver last month and was very pleased with the archives that I had read,

Thanks,

There are several great places to dine, smoke and drink while in indy.

If you are looking for something upscale I would recommend eating a great steak at St. Elmo's on Illinois street downtown. They have great shrimp cocktail sauce... it's a specialty. They also have an upscale bar if you just want drinks.

I would also recommend Nicky Blaine's on Meridian Street for Cigar's and Martini's. Great place to relax, have a cigar and a drink on any one of a number of sofas. Although, cigars are greatly overpriced so bring your own if you are travelling with some.

Another great place is to go to The Claddagh. They have a great selection of beers and also have cigars. They have great irish food as well.

THose are just a few.... let me know if you have any questions or need more suggestions.

Second vote for St. Elmo's. Hint: Don't breath out through your nose while the cocktail sauce is in your mouth!

There is also a Sullivan's that recently (last year?) opened in the Keystone Crossing area.

I am not a local but I go to Indianapolis every year for CEDIA and found a great cigar lounge called "Olives" attached to the Omni Hotel by the RCA dome. It is not a restaurant but rather a martini bar/cigar lounge and should have what you are looking for in a cigar bar.

You have got to go to St. Elmo's. Try the shrimp cocktail and watch out!!!!!!!!!! Talk about horseradish.

Thanks, everyone for your replies. Just got back on Fri. enjoyed a smoke in most of the places you guys suggested. Indy was a beautiful city and thank you all for your help.

I am in town staying at the Omni downtown and want to know where the nearest tobacco shop is. I know this hotel has a cigar lounge but the cigar's are obviously more expensive. Anyone know where the nearest place to buy reasonably priced smokes is in the downtown area.

Thanks
