New Cigar Bar in Chattanoga
“Smoking cigars is like falling in love. First, you are attracted by its shape; you stay for its flavor, and you must always remember—never, never let the flame go out!” - Winston Churchill
Today I had the time to check out the new VTX Club in Chattanooga. I have been waiting for someone to fill the hole left by Burns when they closed their Downtown Chattanooga location. There are not many cigar bars in Chattanooga Tennessee and there are even less that you can get a decent cocktail at. This is more than a typical cigar bar. This cigar bar also has golf simulators and several nights of the week they have live music. The VTX Club is located at 415 Georgia Ave in downtown Chattanooga. The only opened about 6 months ago and the name "VTX" stands for "Vertex," representing a peak or convergence point for elevated social experiences.
It's designed as a membership-based social club, but importantly, much of it is open to the public—no membership required for the main lounge, bar, cigars, or live events. This makes it accessible while offering exclusive perks (like priority access or private areas) for members.
Key highlights include:
A curated selection of cigars in a temperature-controlled humidor room.
High-quality craft cocktails, with a strong emphasis on bourbon and other spirits—addressing the gap in Chattanooga for spots that pair good cigars with decent drinks.
State-of-the-art indoor golf simulators (bookable by the hour, with options for small groups; public access available, though members get priority or included perks).
Live music on Friday nights, plus events like DJ sets or special performances to keep the vibe lively.
A stylish, relaxed atmosphere for socializing, unwinding after work, or hosting small gatherings.
