We had a short timeline for dinner as we had a Broadway show at 7. The hostess and server checked on our timing and made sure we were out the door without making us feel rushed. They were so lovely and the food was delicious and the atmosphere cozy.

Sugar Bar is a vibe!! I drove from Baltimore to visit. The hospitality, food, ambiance and bartender Terrell all top notch. Thursdays entertainment is worth the drive. One thing we did have a comment on is the cover charge for the upstairs. You watch the entertainment on a tv. We got paying the cover charge for the main room. My thoughts were the cover charge is for the host possibly. Either way, it is so worth visiting!!! We had an amazing time.
