Turmeaus Cigars & Whisky

Welcome to Liverpool’s only bar where customers can (legally) smoke inside - and drink £3,000 per bottle whisky.

Turmeaus was established in Liverpool over 200 years ago, originally opening in 1817.

This fancy establishment, situated on Old Hall Street, offers a wide range of whiskies and some of the world’s best cigars.

Because of its specialist nature, guests are able to sample cigars on the premises despite the smoking ban.

Drinks are available by the dram and customers can also sample a premium cigar in the sampling lounge.

All cigars are meticulously maintained by the team, who house them in a bespoke humidor, ensuring that every one is in optimum condition.
