Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at The Continental Cigar Club is built around spirits first: the flagship bar carries allocated bourbon, cognac, and rare rum, and the private Continental keeps a members' library of paired spirits. Cocktail support comes from a recurring Wednesday martini happy hour at $6 and a guest-mentioned Manhattan. Wine is a lighter thread, anchored by a Thursday happy hour with an $8 glass. Cigar pairing notes tie bourbon, whiskey, cognac, rum, and white spirits to specific blends.
