Silver Leaf Cigar Lounge, the Davidoff-stocked smoking bar that has anchored downtown Fort Worth’s Sundance Square since 2014, is packing up its humidors and heading to West 7th. The lounge announced it is moving to Artisan Circle, taking over a 7,500-square-foot space at 3028 Crockett St. that most recently housed the cocktail bar Stirr and the wing restaurant Dirty Bones.
Silver Leaf currently operates at 426 Commerce St. in downtown Fort Worth, where it opened its first location back in 2014, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The lounge was built after Sundance Square developers approached owner Tom Cavinder about creating an upscale smoking bar inside the district’s new downtown building, a founding chapter chronicled by Cigar Aficionado. The new West 7th location will occupy the former Stirr and Dirty Bones footprint, a unit that includes both ground-floor space and a dedicated rooftop bar area, per the Star-Telegram’s reporting.
Teaser renderings released alongside the announcement show a humidor room, indoor bar, lounge seating and a live-music stage, and the Artisan Circle building itself features a ground-level patio and rooftop balcony. Silver Leaf has not released an opening timeline, and the lounge and Artisan Circle say updates will be posted to their social media accounts, the station’s report notes.

Silver Leaf is more than a neighborhood smoking spot. It holds status as an official Davidoff Appointed Merchant, stocking rare smokes like the $500 Davidoff Oro Blanco, and was named a U.S. finalist for Davidoff’s Appointed Merchant of the Year award in 2021, according to Cigar Journal. The lounge was also nominated for the Star-Telegram’s Reader’s Choice Award for favorite bar in 2023…
