Nicky Blaine's Cocktail Lounge - Cocktail bar in Indianapolis - 20 N Meridian St, USA

Nicky Blaines is an annual traditional spot for me and a lot of my extended family in Indy during the holidays and special events. The martinis and cigar choices are amazing, A+. The jazz music and atmosphere are perfect if you don't mind cigar smoke...not so much for the non-smokers, but I absolutely love it. I have so many great memories here from the past 25 years. It's such a swanky and cozy little underground spot away from the chaos with its comfy couches and dim lighting. Being nestled perfectly downtown next to the Monument Circle is a nice feature as well. Can't wait until the next trip!

Didn’t grab anything to snack on but it’s literally the coziest cigar lounge I’ve ever visited. New lounge/bars have a contemporary feel that I’m not so crazy about. This place has the most perfect atmosphere, lighting, furniture, noise level, drinks, service. Great place to visit!

My wife and I had appetizers and great cigars at this lounge. We arrived before 7pm and had many options for seating. We chose the comfortable leather sofa. This place has an amazing speakeasy vibe. If we stayed in Indianapolis, I could see us frequenting this spot. The dinks were amazing. The Kennedy 109 was one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. The seafood stuffed portobello was tremendous.

Stopped by for my BFF’s birthday….first you have to pay an entry fee, then the host tried to placed us 3 ladies in a back room, in a corner, where there was not one person…..I was like what in the world and NOOOOOO, so we went to the bar area! The bartender was NOT friendly and was rude. ZERO sense of humor or people skills! He was a total buzz kill!!!! If you don’t like people, get a new job! Not fun! The martini’s and cigars were fun!

Man where to start about this place? I was looking for a cigar bar on my travels to Indianapolis and this location popped up. I've been to many cigar lounges and this one hands down was the best I've ever been to. Great selection of sticks and the drinks where even better. The Sezerac I had was delicious and the wife said her cocktails were amazing as well. The staff were phenomenal and accommodating. Love the antique Porsche racing posters as well! The atmosphere was fun and cozy and just made for a fun night. Thanks Nicky Blaine Cocktail Lounge for a great beat!

I Normally LOVE and always recommend this spot. Went in a little later on a Sunday, after a colts game. Bartender wouldn’t open the main humidor room for us, and made us choose from a single box that we did not want. From there, at the bar, after asking for an old fashion, he brought us his version, and asked us if we could “stir and mix the drinks for me”. We headed to another bar that gave us the right attention and customer service.

Nicky Blaine's Cocktail Lounge is a hidden gem that offers a haven of comfort and charm. The staff is helpful, respectful, and polite, ensuring a pleasant experience. The interior is cozy and comfortable, providing the perfect atmosphere to relax and unwind with friends. With its late hours of operation, it's a great place to enjoy your weekends. The menu offers a variety of items, including high-quality cigars for those seeking a refined indulgence.

First time visiting was pretty nice the place was kinda empty and to get in was $10 entry which was too much for an empty place. That's why I'm giving a four stars. I would understand if the place was packed full of people it would be $10 or $15 for entry fee but for $10 and it was barely anyone inside which was too much to even get in it should have just been free. First time visiting was amazing I like how you had to walk down stairs into a dark abyss and explore your way towards the bar it was very comfortable and smoothing and smelling all the cigars and the air. It was different for me. The martinis that I had were amazing I've never had those different kind martinis ever. The bar look absolutely nice and clean and shiny the staff were very nice. And the customers were there and they were nice and we had a good time and talked and laughed. Next time I'm definitely going to sit down in a couch Lounge and enjoy a cigar and relax with my girlfriend.
