Due to zoning and employee-health laws, it’s gotten hard to have a cigar and a beer anywhere besides your home. This is the exact market that Phil Hoffman decided to go after.
Located east of San Diego in La Mesa, Hoffer’s Cigar Bar blends a large variety of craft beers with a pair of walk-in humidors stuffed from floor to ceiling. While you can’t smoke in the bar, you can outside.
The back half of the store is all patio- it’s long and narrow with comfortable furniture and heating/cooling systems for when the weather is less than perfect (not often), and is usually occupied by at least a handful of regulars. Ranging from navy officers to businessmen, it’s tough to not be in a good mood when surrounded by great weather, great beer and great cigars!
Hoffer’s Cigar Bar is located at 8282 La Mesa Blvd. La Mesa, CA 91942 Or you can visit them online at www.hofferscigar.com.
