Great vibe and ambiance. Not much room to dance if the mood strikes, which there was a very good DJ at the time but other than that food was delicious, Wait time was normal & aesthetic was very a cool retro Hip Hop vibe.

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.
