With the summer in full swing and the COVID curve now flattened in New York for more than a month, the city’s longstanding cigar bars are making difficult decisions about the best way to begin reopening. Here’s how three of the most storied NYC cigar hangouts are reopening.<\/p>\n
The Carnegie Club Davidoff of Geneva Barclay Rex
\n<\/strong>Arguably the heart of New York City’s cigar and spirits community, The Carnegie Club opens this week with sidewalk and roadway seating under open-air tents. Happy Hour runs from 3pm-6pm and consists of select $6 beers, $8 wines and $11 cocktails. Patrons are recommended to make reservations in advance by emailing info@hospitalityholdings.com.
\nMasks: required for staff, required for customers using restroom<\/em>
\nHours: Mon-Fri: 3pm – 9pm<\/em>

\n<\/strong>Currently the most conservative approach, Davidoff retail locations are open for purchases, but customers are not allowed into walk-in humidors or the lounge.

\n<\/strong>One of the oldest tobacconists in America (founded in 1910), Barclay Rex reopened last week with customer access to the walk-in humidor, private lounge access for members who RSVP, and limited outdoor seating. The company is currently awaiting a permit to expand its outdoor footprint.
