Well overdue to update my review!
If I could, all I'd say is: 6/5 stars. Only notes: strawberry margs on Friday! Pro tip: grab food from Arbor (curly fries + vegan 'burger') or Hayz Dog (The Flukey) across the street.
But Yelp loves some details, so:
Sugar will 5ever be my favorite bar for Friday nights thanks to the strawberry margaritas -- flavor AND price cannot be beat.
Yes, it's a real strawberry puree.
No, it's not too sweet.
Yes, they are incredibly strong/dangerous.
Service is great. They've recently-ish edited how the bar service area is set up, which helps with flow of ordering and knowing where to stand ~in line~ even if it's your first time.
They also recently installed one of those new fangled jukebox app majiggers, so for a few dollars and sometimes some patience, you can set the playlist!
Low lighting inside, with Christmas ornaments hanging from the ceiling, low couches that are easy to get stuck in if you sit too far back (lol), glowing cocktail tables, bar stool around the bar, and a handful of high top tables/chairs along the east side wall opposite the bar.
I love their parklet, which recently got a makeover -- super sturdy floor, extended roof, more room for seats and a nice lil ledge along the side without tables to set drinks.
From a mellow weeknight Halloween, to enjoying people watching after Bill Graham concerts end, celebrating birthdays, and many many more "sure, why not!?" occasions... I can roll into Sugar wearing sweats and hair that needs washing OR after a super fancy dinner + symphony show because all are welcome any day, any time.
