What a great vibe! Peter really knows his stuff and is a veritable mind-reader like you’d want a bartender to be. We came for a place to buy and smoke a cigar (forget other places on the island for selection), but wound up genuinely amazed at the understated, effortless way this place does its job. Simple bar food, but done well. Nothing “upscale” or “cheffy”, but really great examples of whatever it’s supposed to be. Like the chili dog. Try it! A great bun that can stand up to the chili, a good dog, and a pretty damned good chili! The queso fundido rocks, too. Throw in a laid back cat and dog (the mascot), a wooden Castro by the door, and you’ve got a place with its own distinct character. Oh, and don’t be confused by the doors. Upstairs is non-smoking, downstairs is smoking. Seriously give this place a shot. It’s a bit out of the way, but deserves high praise!

Had a great time. Enjoyed some cold beers, with a smash burger and cheese steak. Everything was exceptional and would recommend to anyone who doesn't mind that it is a cigar bar,so smoking is allowed. Bartender was excellent and she kept our glasses full and was very friendly. We will go back.

Stopped in for a cigar and got great friendly, helpful service. Now I want to go back for dinner and a drink. Also, Sputnik the dog is worth stopping in all on his own. Follow up: the cigar that was recommended was excellent!

The atmosphere, service, and food was good! We made a new friend, he is so friendly! I did get their 6 piece wings, but it is just wings. There was a pool table. There is a downstairs and upstairs. I would recommend for adult hangouts.

Man ohhh man I don't even know where to start!!! The cheesesteaks were the BEST I ever had. The flavor was all through the food and everything was piping HOT. We were really impressed!!! Sooo delish This is our spot when we visit Padre again. The staff made sure they checked on us over and over. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING. Then as a bonus they a pool table in there we were able to get in a few games.

Wonderful people. the bartender was excellent. the food was on point. I had the grilled cheese sandwich and it was amazing. I love the atmosphere. I'm a smoker and it was wonderful to be able to have a cigarette in air conditioning. I'm definitely stopping here next time I go to the island

Nestled on South Padre Island’s Padre Boulevard, Rockin' Cigar Bar & Grill @ 3rd Coast is a hidden gem that effortlessly blends a relaxed cigar lounge with straightforward, satisfying bar fare. From the moment you step inside, the distinct character of the place grabs you — a laid-back vibe enriched by friendly bartenders like Peter, who seems to anticipate your taste before you do.

The humidor here is impressive, maintaining perfect temperatures that keep their cigar selection fresh and inviting. Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or just dipping your toes into the world of cigars, the knowledgeable staff makes recommendations that hit the mark every time. And if you’re unsure where to enjoy your smoke, remember: upstairs is a smoke-free haven, while downstairs welcomes tobacco enthusiasts.

While the focus might be on cigars and drinks, the food holds its own with uncomplicated yet memorable dishes. Take the chili dog, for instance — a harmonious blend of a sturdy bun, quality sausage, and a rich chili that’s hearty without overreach. The queso fundido is another highlight, creamy and perfectly melted, embodying the simple pleasures done well. The smash burger and cheese steak both earned high praise for their balance and flavor, making it easy to recommend them. Plus, the wings, while straightforward, satisfy that classic craving alongside a cold beer or cocktail.

The atmosphere further comes alive with personal touches — a wooden Castro by the door and the ever-friendly mascot, Sputnik the dog, who greets guests with warmth. The mix of a pool table and attentive service rounds out the welcoming adult hangout that’s off the beaten path but worth the detour. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick cigar, a late-night bite, or a friendly drink, Rockin' Cigar Bar & Grill @ 3rd Coast promises authenticity, comfort, and a touch of South Texas charm.
