The Jailhouse Whiskey Cigar - Belmont

Giving three stars because of the potential this place has to be so much better with very little effort. The bar upstairs is pretty cool, and has a wide drink selection. Cigar selection is limited but acceptable. However the lounge is wayyy too cold and dark, not enough ashtrays, and no lighters, only matches, which makes the cigars hard to light with the vents blowing constantly. Cutter is upstairs, so if you forget, bite it off the old fashioned way, or trudge upstairs. Remedy these issues and the lounge will be one of the best in the region.

It's not the famous Jig Reel of Knoxville but not bad for Gaston County. Try the Alberta Canadian Rye cask strength. Probably the most pleasant stop on my journey to try and like rye, the quintessential American spirit. Sorry, but bourbon was a latecomer.

Delicious cocktails! The staff was so great too! Shout out to Chris for making me the best drink when I told him I wanted something spicy, fruity, and sour! It’s a spicy passion fruit margarita!

My man and I stopped while we were waiting for the seat in a restaurant close by and that was the perfect place to stop and grab drinks. the inner was very cozy perfect for couples or a date night! they can also buy a cigar and light up in the cigar room, which is a floor below the bar. I ordered the lavender lemon drop, which was amazing! it was strong, sweet and everything they want in a cocktail. husband got two others who were almost as good whisky based. highly recommended to stop at this place! we'll be back.

Smoked Craft Cocktails and a fantastic selection of bottles and craft beer. Try her lobster and shrimp. Old converted prison. Cool vibes with smoker room and three outdoor tables.
