The staff was very attentive & the food tasted very fresh. We had guacamole & chips, shrimp tacos & quesadillas but did not try any of their signature cocktails, though they looked very appealing. The location was very convenient to multiple Broadway theaters which we took advantage of to have pre-matinee lunch. They also have a cute cat robot that they use to deliver drinks, etc., quite a novelty for entertainment.

Dolly Varden was the PERFECT cocktail spot for a birthday get-together I had before a show:) The staff was so nice and attentive to my larger party of 14, and the vibe of the place and decor made it feel like a Christmas cabin getaway. Every drink we had was amazing and the food was wonderful as well! Will surely be back!

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.
