Sugar Monk

Cocktail bar · Central Harlem

"If you make it through the entire cocktail menu at this jewel box of a bar in Harlem, congratulations. It’s five pages long (not including the credits), includes sections like “Cocktails of Ascension” and “Cocktails of Contemplation,” and deconstructs each drink into a compounder’s recipe of ingredients. But if you give up and just order the first cocktail that sounds good, we congratulate you on that too. Faintly medicinal, spicy, herby, and floral, the drinks here add up to more than the sum of their parts, and an evening at Sugar Monk always feels special. Get some truffle popcorn, make a reservation on weekends, and pop in on a Monday for live jazz from 8pm. " - bryan kim, neha talreja, sonal shah, willa moore
