Patriarch's Cigar Humidor

Patriarch's Announces Frisco Square Openings

Friday, January 22, 2010

Frisco, Texas (January 12, 2010) - Frisco Square, along with Accuardi and Wilkerson owners of Patriarch's, announced that Patriarch's Sanctuary Bar (6142 Frisco Square Blvd.) and Patriarch's Cigar Humidor (6190 Frisco Square Blvd.) will both open on February 12, 2010. The two entrepreneurs have been working for more than a year to bring the upscale piano bar and a separate retail cigar shop and smoking lounge to Frisco Square.

"Patriarch's Sanctuary Bar has been developed as a destination where people will gather to have a quiet drink, enjoy soft piano music and won't be required to shout to be heard", said B. J. Accuardi, President of Patriarch's. "Even the décor will be different. We're decorating with French and English Gothic antiques, an antique bar, large back-lit stained glass windows, vaulted ceilings, a grand piano and custom-made seating", noted Accuardi. Bill Wilkerson commented on the cigar humidor and smoking lounge, "B.J. and I are avid cigar smokers. We have high standards and didn't find a place that met them where we could sit, have a drink and a conversation while we smoked a good cigar. The result will be one of the most complete cigar humidors and smoking lounges in the D/FW area; with a knowledgeable staff and a haven for like-minded people".

 "We have been very pleased and impressed with the efforts B.J. and Bill have made to bring their vision to Frisco Square," noted Cathy Sweeney, a Managing Partner at Frisco Square. "We think that the 1,674 sq. ft. Sanctuary Bar and the 1,869 sq. ft. cigar humidor and smoking lounge are a good compliment to the other family-friendly establishments like Best Thai, Lochrann's and Mattito's. We expect that Patriarch's will offer a sophisticated atmosphere that will appeal to those who just want a quiet place."
