Women should be cautious about visiting this place. I’ve heard multiple concerning stories about a man known as John Thomas behaving inappropriately toward female patrons, and I unfortunately witnessed similar behavior myself. One woman shared that he has even attempted to follow her home. When I brought this up to the bartenders, they said they’ve tried to have him banned, and I later learned he’s reportedly barred from several other PV bars for similar conduct. Beyond that, the overall experience was disappointing. The music was poor, and the prices felt unreasonable for what’s offered. The ventilation also seems inadequate—after spending time inside, it felt uncomfortable and unhealthy. Most concerning is the apparent lack of action from Rose( The Owner). It doesn’t seem like enough is being done to ensure the safety and well-being of customers or staff. I would strongly recommend reconsidering before going here. Update: now the owner is actively trying to get my review banned.

Island Cigar Bar is, hands down, the best cigar bar in Ponte Vedra Beach. It strikes that rare balance between laid-back coastal vibe and serious cigar credibility, without trying too hard or feeling pretentious. The selection is solid, well curated, and clearly chosen by people who actually enjoy cigars, not just sell them. Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or someone easing into the cigar world, you’ll find something that fits the moment. Pair that with live music on select nights and you’ve got an atmosphere that feels relaxed, social, and genuinely enjoyable. What really sets Island apart is the staff and ownership. Friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming, and never hovering. The kind of place where you’re greeted like a regular even if it’s your first visit. Conversations flow easily, recommendations are honest, and there’s zero pressure. Exactly how a cigar bar should feel. And yes, it’s one of those places where time slows down a bit. You come in for one cigar and suddenly realize the evening disappeared, in the best way possible. If your stress had a pulse, it would flatline here. If you’re looking for a Ponte Vedra Beach cigar bar with great cigars, live music, comfortable seating, and people who actually care about the experience, Island Cigar Bar is the spot. No hype. No attitude. Just a damn good place to sit back, light up, and enjoy the moment. Highly recommended.

I make sure to visit every time I'm in the area. The best cigar bar in Jax/PVB. Probably my favorite anywhere! A well kept and stocked humidor and fantastic service from the bartenders. Very comfortable lounge chairs and perfect lighting. The decor and music selections make it the perfect place to light up and have a great drink!

Wonderful cigar bar, excellent selection and we had a great visit with Lizzie who was very knowledgeable and very helpful. She's a true gem and we will definitely be back!!

What an awesome place to relax and have a cigar. You can bring your own cigar or as my friend did. Ask the bartender to bring him a mild cigar for around $10. The cigar he got was worth it. The layout is great and lots of different ways to sit relax and enjoy. From comfortable leather sofas. To high top tables. The bar is huge. I definitely plan to come back with friends.
