Island Girl Wine and Cigar Bar

Island Girl Wine and Cigar Bar has become one of the most loved cigar spots around Neptune Beach, and once you spend an evening here it is easy to understand why. This is a small, laid back venue close to the water, with a walk-in humidor that regulars swear stays stocked with exactly what they are in the mood for. The selection runs deep: Padron, Perdomo, Montecristo, Kristoff, Cohiba, Ashton, Arturo Fuente, Alec Bradley, and Acid all make the shelves, so whether you know your usual by heart or want a little guidance, the humidor rarely disappoints. People who shop here consistently mention how sensible the prices are, too.

The staff is a big part of the draw. Ask anyone who spends time here and Devin's name comes up fast, both for steering folks toward a cigar and beer pairing and for what more than one person calls a killer espresso. Tim knows his way around the humidor and makes newcomers feel welcome, and Ashley gets called out for service. The word around Neptune Beach is that the bartenders have real personality, the kind that makes a first visit feel like you have been coming for years.

Beyond cigars, there is plenty to sip. Locals will tell you the beer selection alone is worth the trip, with at least twenty-five taps going, plus ciders and wine to round things out. The atmosphere is easygoing and unpretentious, with plenty of seating, well recirculated air, and even a spot for well behaved dogs to get some love from the regulars. Happy hour is a favorite time to settle in.

It is the kind of place where people driving in from Jacksonville make it a repeat stop, and where the community, veterans and military folks especially, feel genuinely looked after. If you want somewhere close to the beach to relax with a good cigar and a cold pour, this one earns its reputation.
