Cutters Cigar Bar

To my horrible discovery, my beloved Cutters has permanently closed as the Charlotte Marriott undergoes some kind of Salt Lake City inspired homogenization. Apparently, Cutters was not in keeping with Mormon beliefs and instead of providing a reason to stay, a respite and a location to which both local and out of town bank executives would flock to enjoy a smoke, a cocktail and a game of pool, Marriott will install some kind of boring «me too» venue. Some possibility of an outdoor smoking venue. Which will be just lovely in December, January, February …
Alas Cutters, we hardly knew ye …

Nice place to relax and enjoy a smoke, drink, and nice company. Plenty of comfy leather seating. Great ventilation. They had a nice pool table to shoot a few racks. Great service from Mallorie. Very personable/​attentive. Nice ambiance. Friendly people. Great place. Cigars a little more expensive than the norm, but worth it due the ambiance. You could always bring your own and pay 5.00. Either way, definitely recommend.

Bring your own cigars and pay the cut fee. The atmosphere is great for intimate meets. However, if you are looking for a place for you and the guys, there are only a few spots to sit. No more than 5 people and you’ll love this spot.

The cigar prices are marked up substantially, so bring your own sticks and pay the $ 5 cut fee. However, the service, décor, and bar selection are top notch! Waitresses and bartenders are super friendly and they mix great drinks. A great place to enjoy the finer things in life and converse with the fellas. The class and ambience of Cutters are unmatched.

This is one of my favorite locations. It was 2011 since my last visit and Katie remembered me from previous visits, particularly how I rant about Atlanta! There is more that I like about Charlotte, including this place! I digress.
Katie and Jamie are great bartenders both of them made a good Tom Collins!

I have recently moved to Charlotte from Manhattan where I used to go to Club Macanudo, Lexington bar and Books, Hudson Bar and Books, and Cigar Inn on 54^th and [71]st. Let me tell you that I have never seen an Arturo Fuente Hemingway cost $ 29 dollars. If you smoke cigars and know a little bit about the prices, you would know that they retail for about $ 7 and in aforementioned places in NYC they go for up to $ 15. It’s like paying $ 15 dollars for a cup of Starbucks cofee or $ 50 for Stoli and soda… Just makes no sense.
The place is pretty nice, and the service is good, so no other issues… Next time I would bring my own sticks and pay a $ 5 cutting fee.

I really enjoyed this place. It has outstanding customer service and a very appealing atmosphere including lots of leather furniture. Great ventilation with all the cigar smoking. The only thing this place was missing was TV which I experience at other cigar lounges. Overall, me and wife was very satisfied and would go again.

Great atmosphere, unfortunately no parking, like in most uptown. place is ideal for smokers, now that smoking has been prohibited everywhere, you can smoke inside by the bar or in the luxurious leather chairs with a tasty beverage. Con: Their bartender is a little snobby.

Very relaxed environment. Service was great, very friendly. Large selection of drinks; beer, wines, liquor. Just a good place to sit and take a load off.

I was in Charlotte on business and decided that I wanted to relax one evening with a cigar and a nice Margarita. Cutters was the only option that looked doable. Long story short, the food was great and the margarita was awesome. The cigar selection was very tiny and way over priced! I was very disappointed with what I spent on food and drinks. Overall if you are a banker and on and on an expense account, go for it but bring your own cigars!

Cigar bar at the Marriott. Way cool! I didn’t realize they were serving from their bar menu as well as from Savannah Red (great restaurant on property). I had the $ 8 crabcake appetizer. Lots of lump crabmeat. Definitely a nice bargain. Bartender Sam was very friendly and attentive. Nice crowd. Great cigars. Excellent choices of scotch and gin. My kind of place.

Not being a really big cigar guy, I do however enjoy one with a stiff drink every now and again. I had the chance to try this place out and I have to say I was instantly impressed.
I think it was the décor really that did me in. Leather chairs, sofas and love seats. Comfortable bar stools and warm wood accents and tables. Perfect interior for a nice relaxing time.
In terms of food, drinks and cigars I would rank it as acceptable. I wasn’t really there long enough for food so I’ll have to chime in on that at another time I suppose. I do hope to come back some time soon.

This bar is connected to a Marriott. They didn’t have a great cigar selection, and they were pricey. But if you are a out of town traveler staying at that particular Marriott and you have a affinity toward cigars, you should have an enjoyable evening. It was a good place to have a drink and a conversation.

I suppose I am a bit unusual female as in I actually love Cigar Bars. They remind me of little speakeasy’s in mob movies :)
Cutters is awesome. A little dim, leather sofa’s, pool tables, well dressed clients. Attached to the marriot, they could have closer bathrooms. Ladies — remember anything you wear will probably need to go to the dry cleaners to get the smoky smell out — even your coat!
The waitresses were a little slow, maybe they were understaffed, but it was a Friday night! They were very friendly though.
This is a great place for a date or a group that plays pool.

I don’t smoke cigars, but if I did I’d come here.
Was here for a private event and the space is great — lots of large leather chairs and space to hang out. Great selection of scotch and other brown spirits. Pool table as well.

I recently was putting together a city guide for some clients coming into town. They were staying right near the Epi Center so most of the bars and restaurants in the guide where there.
However, this is one of the few bars that made it into the guide that was not. It is a great bar for business people visiting to relax and enjoy a nice cocktail and cigar. There are 2 pool tails and several couches to lounge in. The staff is always great.
Down Sides: Drinks are fairly pricey and the bar is extremely dark. It’s smokey which should be expected since this is a cigar bar.

Oh man… Simply put, this place is perfect.
I heard that there was a cigar bar in Charlotte some mad my way over to this place to check it out. From the second I walked in, I knew this was gonna be an ideal experience.
First off the place is lined with leather couches that take you back in time to the 1930’s. The servers were the nicest and most helpful I’ve experienced to date. They walked me through the entire rum selection and even made a few recommendations relevant to certain cigars for the best possible experience. Btw, the rum selection is amazing and that earned this place five stars by itself.
The server then walked me over to the cigar selection and gave a detailed explanation for each cigar. After choosing a medium strength cigar, I sat back in leather couch and zoned out for next few hours with n amazing cigar and a great glass of rum. They were playing some of best of 1950’s jazz which just made it even more perfect.
If you’re a fan of cigars or the cigar bar scene and are in Charlotte, get on over to this place!

Must say that Bulleit Burbon is very hard to find and this place had it. SCORE! Dark leather, dark wood, great conversation areas, lots of cigar smoke and great service. Didn’t have to buy a cigar, the place was a blue-​grey haze of smoke.
Kind of wonky getting into the place. It’s not really in the hotel but it is. You have to walk in the breezeway before the lobby. Door is a bit unexpected, but not hidden. Not their fault, but in a sense it adds to the ambiance.

The only place to smoke and relax with a cigar while downtown Charlotte. Most places forbid cigars due to regulation. This is the only place to light up indoors and get a drink. It is inside the Charlotte Marriott.
Parking is validated so make sure you get it stamped.
The place is classic old world setup. Dark wood paneling, comfy leather chairs, full bar with an impressive line up of scotch, single malts and cognac.
There is a selection of cigars available here, including Padrons, Fuente and even some legal Cuban cigars.
If you bring your own smokes, they will help you cut and light for a $ 5 fee.

First night in town it’s cold and rainy we don’t want to go out, but we do want to check out the sights, have a few drinks, relax, and chill. The Cutter’s Cigar Bar is located in the Marriott Hotel (Downtown Charlotte).
First of all let me just say this, don’t go to a cigar bar unless you like the smell of cigars, smoke them, or are at least willing to try one. Stay back, otherwise your just going to be a pain in the a$$, sitting around huffin and puffin with a dry sullen look on your face, wondering why everyone is so damn relaxed? I don’t hang with these people, but I’ve seen them and felt sorry for whoever invited them.
As one chick with bodycon Kim K dress and well coifed weave was with a group of men and protested aloud that cigar smoking was not lady like, and I’m thinking like neither are your hair a$$ legs?! But anyways…
The staff is very knowledgeable about the products that they sell. If you are a whiskey Bourbon drinker, these sweet southern «ladytenders» know how to knock a grown man off his feet as my boy (a man in his 40’s) couldn’t even finish his whiskey with bitters, because it was so damn strong.
I had a French Martini that was a little on the hard side, they ran out of Chambord, no biggie, the bartender just added extra pineapple juice. I had more of a lady’s cigar per say. The bartender recommended this fabulous Vanilla and Cognac medium sized cigar by C.A.O called Moontrance. C.A.O has an array of vanilla and honey flavored selections that make a unique gift for say a light to medium weight cigar smoker. The drinks n’ smokes complimented each other well, after sitting in a car for 8 hours, that was the perfect way to unwind.
I went back a day later and bought a medium grade cigar for my brother and a chocolate flavored cigar by Acid for myself.
