Bogarts Fine Spirits & Cigars
Welcome back to tasteofthefoxvalley.com. This week my wife and I revisited what is becoming one of our favorite new locations, Bogarts Fine Spirits & Cigars. Bogarts is a fairly new bar located downtown Neenah in the Marketplace. We visited Bogarts previously and each time we go back we seem to enjoy it more and more. For us this is the perfect after dinner place to sit, relax and enjoy what they have to offer.
Atmosphere: Bogarts has the ambiance that we are looking for when we are out with just each other or meeting friends. As you enter you are instantly impressed by the beautiful old fashioned sign hanging above the door. The windows located on both sides of the entrance showcase the fine Wilmer’s Chocolates, beautiful bottles of scotch, wine and other spirits they offer. You can view these photos below to get an idea of the atmosphere of Bogarts.
As you walk into the establishment, you enter the main seating area. Bogarts is dimly lit, with gold painted walls and a light wood floor which maintain that rich elegance that greeted you at the front door. There area few seats at the bar but mostly small pub style tables.
If you would like a little more privacy there is a small lounge just off the main area with seating for 5. As I was sipping on my scotch, I admired the nice details surrounding me. Some old cigar boxes, a cognac book, a bottle of wine, and nostalgic pictures on the wall from Casablanca. I particularly enjoyed the music of Frank Sinatra playing in the background.
The bar is beautiful, if only the pictures could do it justice. I tried explaining to my wife that we need to redo our basement to look like this, but she gave me a quick eye roll and we moved on. Behind the bar is a display of whiskeys, scotches, cognac and other spirits they offer as well as available beers. Next to the bar is a nice sized display humidor showing off a very thorough selection of cigars. Its is a shame that Bogarts is smoke free because I could have easily been swayed to light up a VSG or a MX2. The cigar prices were very fair so it never hurts to pick up one more for your humidor.
Spirits: I could not find a menu on Bogart’s website but did take this this quote from the web page. We specialize in serving a unique selection of wine, cognac, champagne, imported beer, single malt scotch whiskey, artisan cheese, chocolate truffles and premium cigars. While we were there I had a glass of 12 year old Aberlour scotch and my wife had few pieces of Chocolate Truffle. The chocolates they offer come from Wilmar chocolates in Appleton.
Conclusion: Bogarts is definitely a must try. With a collection of some of the best spirits, a rich atmosphere and friendly service you won’t be disappointed.
