Olive N' Ash
Lounge Experience
Olive N' Ash is a cocktail bar and cigar-friendly lounge located at 765 Woodlake Rd # B, Kohler, WI 53044. With a 4.4-star rating from 90 reviews, it stands out as one of the area’s appreciated spots for pairing a cigar with a well-made drink in a relaxed, adult atmosphere. Guests describe Olive N' Ash as a solid cigar bar with a clean lounge, friendly service, reasonably priced drinks, and a quiet setting that works well for an after-dinner stop or a slow evening unwind. The humidor has reportedly been reworked with improved options, and reviewers mention cigar selections including familiar names such as CAO, Arturo Fuente, Ashton, Cohiba, and others. For the classic pairing crowd, this is the kind of place where a cigar and scotch feel right at home—especially on a chilly Wisconsin evening. Basic food options are also available, with several guests specifically mentioning pizza as a good lounge companion.The Space
Olive N' Ash offers a comfortable, compact lounge layout with a surprisingly spacious arrangement for its size. The space is designed for lingering: a place to settle into a seat, enjoy conversation, watch a game, or simply relax with smoke in hand and a drink nearby. The lounge includes a humidor for cigar purchases, bar service, music, and a couple of TVs for sports. Reviews consistently point to the lounge being clean and easygoing, with enough room to feel comfortable without losing the intimate cigar-bar feel. As with many cigar lounges, airflow is part of the experience, and one reviewer noted that ventilation could be improved. That said, the overall impression is of a welcoming, casual, and well-kept space that remains a reliable oasis for cigar smokers in the Kohler area.Vibe
The vibe at Olive N' Ash is laid-back, quiet, and unpretentious. This is not an overly loud nightlife venue—it leans more toward a relaxed cocktail-and-cigar retreat. Guests have described it as a “perfect hangout,” with a chill pace, friendly bartenders, music playing in the background, and a comfortable atmosphere for small groups or solo visits. The clientele appears to be a mix of resort visitors, locals, cigar enthusiasts, and casual guests looking for a drink after dinner. It is a strong fit for anyone who appreciates a slower evening: a cigar, a cocktail, a bit of conversation, perhaps a game on TV, and no need to rush. What makes Olive N' Ash special is its rarity. True cigar bars are not as common as they once were, and reviewers have called this spot an “outstanding cigar bar” and a welcome place to enjoy a cigar indoors with a drink in hand.Hours
