Being the only cigar lounge in the area, I wanted to like Stag Lounge, but it fell short of my hopes for a cool spot to enjoy a cigar and drink. I would best describe it as one of those places I'd return to simply because there are no other options. Location: Stag Lounge is located in Stillwater's historic downtown alongside a handful of restaurants, bars and coffee shops. The potential is there to be a cool, trendy spot. Ambience: - This is definitely a hangout for guys who don't pay attention to their surroundings and just want to watch TV and smoke. - The interior is spacious but dark in gloomy sort of way. When entering, you are greeted by a pool table, an odd mish-mash of masculine wall decor, and forced to walk down a slightly narrow space to the lounge in the back. I got the illusion of walking into a dank cave. - Stag Lounge can accommodate a fair number of people, but there are not enough comfortable lounge seating options. They have some wingback leather chairs we were able to snag in a slightly awkward group seating area. - I was surprised to see bar height tables along one wall, which is not conducive to kicking back and lingering over a smoke. - The bar is long with seating for 7. It has a decidedly "not finished" look with cheap shelves thrown up to accommodate spirits and glassware. Humidor: - The humidor is a small but mostly well-stocked room of cigars. Decent small selection with the big brands (Drew Estate, Fuente, CAO) and some more boutique options (RoMaCraft). - The disappointment for me was that it smelled musty and lacked that delightful aura of a humidor filled with premium tobacco. - A musty smell means it's over-humidified and was built like a room you throw a humidifier in versus a real humidor (walls not treated to handle moisture, etc). It worries me when I smell mildew around cigars. Service: - The one employee working made a valiant effort to be helpful in the humidor while also manning the bar at the other side of the space. - He was not terribly knowledgeable in the humidor, and I opted not to risk ordering a cocktail. - He clearly knew the locals, which points to them having a loyal customer base. - I think it is unprofessional for an employee to sit with customers and smoke the whole time (couldn't he be doing something to clean the humidor?!). - They offer humidified lockers for members at $100/mth, and I saw several customers access their lockers while we were there. He said they had a waiting list for them. Go into Stag Lounge knowing you're getting: a simple spot to have a beer and a smoke and watch sports. Not a high-end smoking experience. -

Without a doubt one of the more fun and unique places that I visited while in OKC. We came in for a nightcap and took advantage of the humidor and nice selection of cigars. The room was very relaxing and welcoming. Service was spectacular but only second to the quality of our drinks. Will return next time I make it to the City.
Deleted my Old review from 2 years ago so I can update it. While I didn't come for the great hour specials, Whitney and Rob were great bartenders for the night despite the late night rush. Drinks were good and fantastic. Had a great time chatting with some of the regulars to the bar in Miguel and Kaley. Kennedy the cigar keep gave me a good recommendation for a cigar as a gift for a friend of mine. Whitney also gave me some places to checkout and see since I was visiting from our of town and it was very much appreciated. Also I learned that the unnamed barkeep from my last visit is named Aspen and is doing well for herself. The liquor selection on hand is also great. I was given some good recommendations of things to try for the next time I can swing by here. Definitely stop by and have a drink at the Stag Lounge if you're in OKC. Definitely try the cinnamon old fashioned while you're here. This bar still lives up to my first visit 2 years ago and I can't wait to come visit the next time I'm in town. Big thank you to the staff; Whitney, Rob and Kennedy
Great establishment where one can enjoy libations and a smoke. They also have delicious food and great happy hour deals. Outside seating is a bonus! Nice selections of whiskey to include Irish, scotch and bourbon. Outstanding cocktails!
Great selection of bourbon and scotch. If cigar pairings are your thing this place is for you. They offer a membership as well that is worth the cost. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, their menu is unique and they have daily happy hour offers.
