This place is just right for military and veterans alike. Pretty good selections and its a good place to hangout. You can get lost in the moment and wonder where the time goes. But, its all about the moment. Semper Fi!

If you are a cigar smoker, I think you will enjoy this place. This place has a great atmosphere great service and is in a great location. Now the prices are a little more expensive than some of the other's cigar lounges but it is still worth it in my opinion. they don't have a large selection of cigar, but they do have

I met a good friend down at Admiral and this his fav spot. I must say I enjoyed myself here. Very nice spot with good vibes, they have a little small selection of cigars that are overpriced but every cigar lounge I go to I always support the shop. The drinks were pretty good as we had their Happy hour, but even still my bill was high with "Happy hour". Stuff was very nice but was acting somewhat strange as the night got busier and hours passed by and we were still there smoking & drinking. One of the waiters came by and told us he had to give us our checks as they were about to change shifts, and we understood and said no problem, but as the night still went on, the same staff was still there working so that was very weird! Besides that, I enjoyed the ambiance and nice location where they are set up at.

I have frequented this cigar bar over the last 3 years. I generally like the atmosphere inside and outside the bar. When I first started coming to the bar, the staff was top notch (shoutout to Lenny).However, over time, my experiences started to go downhill. Drinks are very overpriced ($17 for a cocktail in Baldwin Park is absurd). The current staff can be rude and dismissive at times. Most importantly, the bar has stopped issuing itemized receipts - likely because the bar wants to hide their automatic gratuity charge. There is no disclaimer on the bill itself or around the bar that automatic gratuity is charged.I would be very careful with your bill at Admiral. Likewise, I would look at other options in town before giving your business to Admiral.

This establishment is perpetuating fraud on its customers. Have been coming for years. We had a group of 5 come in for drinks and cigars, their staff double billed drinks on multiple tabs to the point where we asked for itemized receipts at the end (which they’re required to do as is), their servers slammed the new receipts on the table and stormed off. Not only did they charge drinks to multiple tabs they also did not disclose that they include gratuity (so if you are a normal patron you will be paying upward of 40% in gratuity due to their fraud). Will never return. When questioned why they included drinks for one person on MULTIPLE tabs they became very upset and hostile.

Hidden charges on your bill!Went there last week with a friend, I had a cigar and we each had a couple drinks. I knew approximately what the bill should have been and when it was brought to me, it was higher than I thought it should've been. When inspecting the receipt, every drink and cigar had a 2nd line item on the receipt. When I asked them what it was for, they couldn't tell me. Then after a convo amongst themselves in Spanish, they said it was the gratuity of 18%....but there at the bottom of the receipt there was the typical table that shows you how much to tip if you want to tip 15%, 18%, 20%, etc.It is illegal to just add unspecified charges to your bill. A gratuity is an optional payment. I fought with them for about 5 minutes over it....other customers chimed in and told them that they cannot do this. They did finally take off 15% of the bill, which apparently is a discount their club members get....that's a whole other story....they have a membership where you get 15% off...but they are adding 18% to your bill automatically....makes no sense.I was very disappointed that this happened....I like the place....but will never go back as long as it's under this ownership.

TL:DR - DO NOT GO TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT.Arrived at about 8.30pm as part of a business group of 5 on a Monday evening expecting to be there for several hours. There were about 5 to 10 other patrons onsite when we arrived. Selected this location as it advertises being open until Midnight and it looked small, cozy and comfortable. However, we and other patrons were kicked out of the establishment by the staff at 9.45pm as they wanted to close because they thought it was a slow evening. No apologies offered.We sat outside while they put chairs on tables and vacuumed the place. Then the staff came round and took the ashtrays from the tables and demanded all the cushions from the outside seats and turned off the lights. When I confronted a staff member about the hours posted on the door stating they were open until midnight, I was given an excuse that the hours were outdated and hadn't been changed since the place has been open for 8 years. When i asked why they hadn't at least updated their website which also states the same hours, they looked at me, chose to ignore my question and then proceed to close and lock the doors and walk off.10 minutes later as we were finishing our cigars a group of 4 guys jumped out of an Uber expecting to be able to get a cigar as the place advertised as being open. I encouraged them to look elsewhere (and am obviously now doing so for anyone else who reads this review when considering this location). They were disappointed as they were also visiting town and decided on this place for the same reasons I did - it looked small and cozy, and more importantly - said it would be open until midnight.To add to my disappoint for the experience, when I arrived, I asked for coffee as I don't drink alcohol. They said they had espresso which i thought was good, until it arrived at table. It was cold and was vanilla flavored. Discovered they didn't have anything that wasn't flavored and didn't have any regular unflavored coffee of any sort. Nor did they have any iced tea.The final and most damning indictment of this establishment is the cigars themselves. They have 3 wall humidor cases, so the selection is relatively limited, especially when considering their competition in the area. The stick I purchased and started to smoke I had to put down and give up on as it wouldn't stay lit and didn't taste quite right. Fortunately, I had my travel humidor with me, so I was able to smoke one of my own and enjoy myself.Closer inspection of their humidors revealed why. Hygrometers in each of their 3 humidors showed 77, 78 and 80% humidity respectively. The cigars were simply too damp. When i went to look at the humidor to inspect, I found one of the sliding glass doors ajar.Everything about this place speaks to a lack of care for the customers and their product. They advertise themselves as a cigar lounge. The experience says they are a bar with limited hours where you can happen to smoke a cigar. It's a pity really as the location definitely has potential to be something great.
