Originally opened at 84 ½ Wall Street in 1934 by Joseph St. John who came to America from Greece in 1925, the Owl Shop began as a bookstore. Joseph was also selling tobacco and mixing his own blends and soon tobaccos and tobacco accessories were the products of choice.Between 1937 and 1950 he and his wife Catherine expanded to five stores throughout New Haven until in 1951 they chose to consolidate under one roof, the College Street location. After the death of her husband, Catherine St. John kept the shop open, and with it, two of the shops original employees, one of which was with the shop until 2015; Joe Lentine.In 1998, Glen Greenberg bought the shop, in 1999 he acquired a liquor license and since 2004 the Owl Shop has been the only public venue in CT where one can smoke and drink.Today, with the assistances of General Manager, Jim Richards and Assistant General Manager, Joe Caccone, the Owl Shop maintains its fine reputation for being one of the best tobacco shops and Cigar Lounges in the country.The Owl Shop boasts a 400sf walk-in humidor where Jim blends our world-renowned Owl Shop Tobacco blends and where you will find one of the most complete collections of classic & boutique cigars available. Within the plush cigar lounge you will enjoy weekly free live music, a cocktail bar with over 200 whiskies, a coffee bar and food served day and night!
