Leeward 1

Lakewood neighbor Chris Hamilton is opening a liquor and cigar shop on Greenville across from Snuffer’s, and he wants it to be as neighborhoody as possible.

Leeward 2This place isn’t going to be your typical warehouse-like building stocked floor-to-ceiling with cardboard boxes of cheap booze. Not that there won’t be any cheap booze available, but Leeward Liquor and Cigars aims to be a cozy space stocked mostly with high-end, craft liquor, beer and wine options, with as many Texas-made choices as possible.

Hamilton will offer samples of liquor and beer daily, in hopes of creating an atmosphere where neighbors can come hang out and chat about the finer things in life. He might (although no guarantees) even set up a couple of comfortable chairs outside for those who’d like to stick around to puff their cigars.

Leeward Liquor and Cigars is hosting a soft opening next week, on Tuesday, Sept. 9. For more information, call 214.668.0880 or drop by the location at 3609 Greenville, just north of Aw Shucks. There’s additional parking available behind Snuffer’s.
