I recently had the pleasure of visiting this exceptional cigar lounge, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance was inviting and luxurious, setting the perfect tone for a relaxing evening. The Mediterranean food served after 5:30 was simply divine, with each dish bursting with flavor and freshness. The full bar and tap offered an impressive selection of drinks to complement every palate.

But what truly sets this place apart is its premium cigar collections. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or just starting out, there's something here for everyone. Angela, the owner, and Josh, the manager, deserve a special mention for their warm hospitality and attention to detail. Their passion for creating a welcoming environment truly shines through in every aspect of the experience.

Overall, I highly recommend this cigar lounge to anyone looking for an unforgettable evening of great food, drinks, and company.

I can't tell you with my limited writing skills how special this place is. It is the best representation of a small family business I have ever experienced. They remember your name and what you like. They hug you and make you feel like family every time. The cigars are premium and they're house cigars are some of the best I've ever had (Godmother cigars). The food is perfect and the drinks are exceptional. The ambiance is top notch too. You feel like you are in another country on vacation ever time you go. Service is 5 star and the characters there are hilarious, genuine, and kind. Love love love this cigar lounge. My favorite I have ever been to and I've been to a lot.

I can't recommend this place enough. I come here with friends from church, and also after work, at times. The owner, Angela, and her staff are top-notch, the cigar selection is excellent, and the food is outstanding. I definitely recommend giving Club Aficianado a shot.

What a gem of a find on my trip to California. This is an intimate, friendly bar with amazing, food, great selection of beverages to match up perfectly with the classy selection of the finest cigars. The Godmother herself and her team took great care of me, introduced themeselves and provided world class service. I felt like I'd been a member for years, and it was my very first visit. Even all the members there were welcoming. Chill, conversations, watch sports, have a meal, have a drink...and with a cigar. Does life get much better?

This is one of the best cigar lounges I have ever relaxed at. Be sure to go on a day when they have their chef on (usually Wed, Thur, and Fri) when they serve homemade Persian meals. Simply the best food this side of The Middle East. The cigar selection is amazing. The lounge beautiful and relaxing. Well worth coming to as a destination. Definitely worth coming to for any celebration.

Club Aficionado is a fantastic spot to unwind and relax. The staff makes you feel like family, remembering your name and your favorite drink.

The large, overstuffed chairs create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Suhela crafts a delicious Old Fashioned, adding her unique touch to this classic cocktail.

Even though I live in the Bay Area, I visit OC often and always make it a priority to stop by Club Aficionado.

Great place. Josh at the front great host. Nice variety of cigars, chill cuban music in the back and good selection of whiskeys and scotch. Try this place is you want to unwind a bit.
