About this restaurant

Romantic
Great for creative cocktails
Lively

Sugar East came to life from the vision of Public Agenda as a sleek, midcentury styled upscale lounge that transports guests to another era, reminiscent of a NYC Speakeasy. A secret upscale bar located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Sugar East offers fresh sourced cocktail and menu ingredients, music playing through the early morning hours, and legal indoor smoking. Every element is a modern adaptation of classic design, based on Sugar East’s four pillars: escape, style, luxury and play.

Great music and service, even the security guard was very friendly. Had a good experience with my friends. Drinks were good but i don’t recommend the apple pie drink - not worth its price for the quality of the drink. It was better to get individual cocktails. I would definitely come again for the vibes. I highly recommend to rsvp for a table.

Sugar is used to be one of the hidden gems in the city. It used to be a cigar shop and then turned into a bar. My girlfriend and I loved it. They were grandfathered in and allowed to smoke in the bar. We went there Saturday night and found out that the owner didn’t renew the smoking policy. Now it’s like any other bar in the city. Don’t get me wrong, the food it great. The music is great. The atmosphere great, but you have to go up a flight of stairs to the street to smoke. Just like any other bar

I went here with 5 of my friends on Dec. 6th to celebrate a birthday. The service from our waitress was amazing, unfortunately I do not remember her name. She was very nice and attentive; everything we ordered came out in a timely manner. The drinks and the food were great. The DJ was playing good music, my friends and I barely sat down that night because we were dancing so much. Would definitely come back and recommend to others.

I made a reservation for Saturday night and service was incredible. Service was outstanding. The hostess gave us our choice of seating styles, and checked in a few time. The wait staff was on top of things, always making sure we had everything we needed. The drinks were delicious and they brought out a fun sparkler for the birthday girl. I will absolutely go back and recommend to anyone to try.
