I was there Superbowl weekend and sat out on their patio, smoked an Anejo and enjoyed a couple of their great Mojitos. I felt lucky to be able to do so, their patio had be closed to smoking for over a year due to some complaints that the cigar smoke was giving headaches to the girls who work next door (although they would step over to Fuentes patio to smoke their cigarettes). The escalator is not down for repair, it's being relocated. They're putting a big waterfall where the escalator was.
