Shelly's Back Room

“Really pleasant experience, great service, good bar food.”

James PapáDad Darren Hicks★★★★

Had a really enjoyable experience at Shelly’s Back Room. We grabbed a sidewalk table, and the atmosphere was just right—relaxed, vibrant, and perfect for people-watching in the city. This spot is clearly a cigar bar first, with food as a secondary focus—but it still delivered a solid dining experience. My wife ordered the salmon with rice and beans and really enjoyed it (though she definitely wished for a little more of those beans!). I had the meatballs and linguine, and it was good—simple, satisfying, and hit the spot. What really stood out was the overall vibe. Being surrounded by people

Came here while on a business trip to DC, such an awesome place! Definitely a Must Stop experience! Food was delicious, nice selection of cigars, and superb atmosphere!

I visited on a Saturday afternoon. Several groups of guys were there, but not crowded. Plenty of comfortable seating available. Very polite and attentive staff. Great selection of cigars and a well stocked bar. Casual atmosphere and dress. Mostly collared shirts and some T-shirts. I did not eat, but the food I saw looked good. I had a couple of drinks and a good cigar. Prices were not bad considering such an establishment. I will definitely visit again next time I'm in town.

Everything is full service, you just sit, relax, and theycwill bring you everything you need. The staff is friendly and attentive. There's even a separate side for non-smoking patrons!
