Have fun at the Sugar Bar! That's what the main purpose of the place is. It's the only place in NYC where u'll meet great people with a great heart and that are just genuinely abt having a gr8t time.

Super nice staff but be aware. Not only is there a $10 cover + $20 minimum when there's live music (your entrée goes towards the $20 if you're having dinner there), there is an automatic 18% gratuity.

Very cool experience. I flew in from Florida with one goal in mind... to play with a group of talented and fun musicians. Thanks to Tony and the Sugar Bar crew....mission complete 🤙🏾

Gospel icon Vy Higginsen says Sugar Bar is her favorite spot in NYC. A small venue packed with a menu full of flavor & an occasional celebrity sighting. Read more about it on MetroFocus. Read more

Thursday nights are the best!! Open mic is amazing, almost everybody can sing and celebrity sightings aren't rare! Try the strawberry butter on the cornbread :-)

Arrive early before the show to avoid the cover charge. Catfish appetizer is good. Tip (18%) is included in the bill.

Check out the Paul Peress all star band! They are an amazing jazz band. Lots of great energy and awesome tunes. The crab stuffed shrimp is delicious.

Love this place. Great food, music and crowd. It's owned by legendary singers Ashford & Simpson. Great celebrity sighting as well especially on Thursday night.

The Shaynee Rainbolt Quartet plays here twice this month: Sept 1st and 22nd. Excellent local hang and Rainbolt is fantastic. Smooth & silky jazz with the city's finest musicians.

Fun choice for something different on the UWS. Music every night and good drinks. Food was not bad but nothing exceptional.
