Tucked away on 4th Street South, Estate Cigars & Social has become one of our favorite low-key hangouts in St. Pete this summer. After being closed for nearly eight months following last fall’s hurricanes, the cigar lounge and bar finally made its long-awaited return at the start of May at 1201 4th St S, not only bringing back what had become a fast favorite, but what is decidedly one of the best happy hours in town.
Estate has a fantastic curated selection of cigars and an impressive lineup of craft beers and fine wines, all of which can be enjoyed in the plush indoor lounge or outside on the patio overlooking Booker Creek. And happy hour makes all of it as affordable as it is enjoyable.
On the cigar side, they have an all-day, every-day happy hour: buy five cigars and get one free. On the drinks side, the Tuesday-Friday happy hour runs from 4-6 pm, featuring $2 off draft beers and 1/2 price glasses of house wine. The best deal comes on Thursdays from 7-10 pm, when they offer 1/2 price bottles of wine that you can enjoy in the lounge or take home with you – whichever you prefer.
If you need another excuse to stop by, make plans for this Saturday, August 23, when they host Elly’s Birthday Bash – a celebration for their beloved bartender. The party includes free tastings, giveaways, live music, drink specials, and special cut and light with Blanco Cigars. Elly is even baking her famous cupcakes for the occasion. The party starts at 6 pm and goes “until the last person leaves,” so be ready to celebrate all night.
Sommelier-led wine and cigar pairings
While Estate is already a blast as-is, we love that they continue pushing forward, always adding new experiences. We’re particularly excited for the upcoming wine and cigar pairing program that they have teased. They have exquisite selections for both cigars and wines already, and now they’ve been quietly at work with a sommelier who specializes in cigar and wine pairings…
