Philanthropy at Empire Social

How Empire brings people together across Miami and Fort Lauderdale.

At Empire Social Lounge, the heart of what we do has never been just cigars or spirits — it’s connection. It’s the way a room comes alive when people gather with intention, whether they’re celebrating a milestone, sharing knowledge, or coming together for something bigger than themselves. In a city as dynamic as Miami and a community as close-knit as Fort Lauderdale, those moments matter.

This is why philanthropy has always been woven into the culture of Empire. We are proud to open our Brickell and Las Olas lounges to charitable organizations, professionals, and nonprofits who are working to make a difference in South Florida. From education and mentorship to health initiatives, networking groups, and community-driven events, Empire provides a setting designed to elevate every gathering — elegant, welcoming, and built for conversations that spark real impact.

Because unlike brands that focus on producing cigars or sales, what Empire produces are elevated experiences. What we offer is atmosphere. What we create is space for people to come together, to exchange ideas, to support causes they care about, and to strengthen the community that surrounds us.

When a philanthropic organization hosts a meeting, fundraiser, or awareness event inside the lounge, something special happens. The environment encourages connection. The tone shifts from transactional to personal. People open up, share stories, and start imagining how they can contribute to something greater.

We’ve hosted business leaders supporting local initiatives, young professionals, women’s groups, and sports organizations. And every time, the lounge becomes more than a lounge — it becomes a catalyst.

South Florida is a region of movement and ambition, always growing, always shifting. Empire’s commitment to philanthropy ensures we grow with purpose, grounded in relationships and community spirit. We take pride in being a home for both celebration and service — a place where good cigars, refined cocktails, and genuine conversation come together for a cause.

Because at Empire, we don’t just craft nights — we help craft impact.

If your group or organization is interested in hosting a philanthropic event or community program at Empire Social Lounge Brickell or Las Olas, we would be honored to connect.
