Empire Social in Brickell is a cigar lover's paradise! From the moment I walked in I was greeted by the well dressed Raphael, the manager, who was extremely knowledgeable about the large selection including hand rolled cigars from Indonesia. Empire also has an impressive bar to pair your cigars with the drinks of your choice. I shared some 007 thELight II (tm) film stories with Raphael. He was shocked. Only down side is they should carry pipes and pipe tobacco. Hopefully next time I arrive pipe tobacco manifests. I am sure to return with cast and crew for a great smoke and cocktails during the two days of filming of thELight I film in Miami and Miami Beach in late September, early October, 2025. The overall selection of cigars is absolutely phenomenal, offering an impressive range of premium brands and rare finds that cater to every palate. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or a curious newcomer, there's something here for everyone. The ambiance is upscale yet welcoming, perfect for relaxing with a fine smoke and drink. The place is ideal for socializing. What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service, especially from Manager Raphael and attentive staff. His knowledge, warmth, and genuine passion for cigars make your visit memorable. He goes above and beyond to recommend the perfect cigar and ensure you feel right at home. I highly recommend Empire Social for an unmatched cigar and cocktail experience!

Great experience from beginning to end. I get greeted as soon as I arrive, love the attention to details. Alex is very attentive and pleasant. Nonetheless, I really appreciate the attention to detail and service provided by Tatiana.Tatiana goes above and beyond to making sure that my experience is nothing less than excellent. My favorite cigar lounge in South Florida…highly recommend.

Update... Stopped by here again on my trip to Miami, this is one of the top cigar lounges in the country. Fantastic!... Empire Social is a spectacular cigar lounge located in the heart of Brickell. The space is absolutely beautiful. They also have a diverse selection of cigars for sale as well, with some cigars for purchase being very hard to get. This place is by far one of the nicest cigar lounges that I have ever been to. Not since the now closed Grand Havana Room in New York have I been to a place this good. Needless to say, I highly recommend it here and can't wait to see how the new location in Ft Lauderdale is going to turn out!
