Sneak peek: Elk Grove’s Sky River Casino to open cigar and whiskey lounge this year
Fans of premium whiskeys and fine cigars will soon have a new spot at Sky River Casino.
The Wilton Rancheria casino in Elk Grove announced plans Thursday for The Humidor, a new spirits-and-smokes lounge set to open later this year. The venue will sit next to craft beer taproom 32 Brews St., adding to Sky River’s lineup of bars and restaurants including SR Prime Steakhouse, Upper Barrel wine bar and high-concept Asian fusion dining spot Dragon Beaux.
The Humidor, Gibase said, will “cater to bourbon, whiskey and cigar lovers who enjoy a relaxed environment for conversing, gaming or simply enjoying the moment.”
The lounge’s bourbon and whiskey program promises to feature top-shelf selections including Pappy Van Winkle, Macallan and Whistle Pig; while the tobacco selection will be stocked with a number of as-yet-unnamed premium smokes.
Construction has not yet begun, but a rendering shows what is in store with its mix of low-lit club and widescreen-TV sports bar touches.
“We are thrilled to add yet another unique and exceptional venue inside Sky River,” said Sky River president and chief operating officer Chris Gibase in a statement announcing the new venture.
