Good stogies and even better cocktails.

The Scene
Tucked on Eighth Avenue in between the now defunct Gyland's and the Orpheum, it's easy to miss this classy but tiny joint. A few tables and chairs crowd the small room, and the modest bar fills up quickly. A mirror behind the bar deceptively makes the space look bigger than it really is.

The Goods
Paying homage to the finer things in life, Fuma Bella specializes in two things: cigars and single malt scotches. The selection of stogies is small, yet selective, and scotch lovers can pick their poison from 21 varieties. A decent yet limited selection of drafts and high-end liquors rounds out the full bar offerings.

Staff Attitude
Consider the service schizophrenic. Sometimes mellow and friendly, other times so snooty it's practically unbearable. A good place for a quiet drink and conversation.
