Island Girl Cigar Bar (Ponte Vedra Beach)

No food this is a cigar bar environment and atmosphere was exceptional came here to see the Black Water band

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.

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.

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!!
