by Katie F. on I would take off 1 star for the price but the drinks are just THAT GOOD. So my BF and I sauntered in expecting a classy lounge and we got a classy lounge. We strolled up to the bar to order our drinks, the bartender was very kind and friendly. It was amazing to watch him mix both our drinks at the same time, flipping and twirling the mixers. amazing!! This is not the place you go for a night out, this is the kind of place you go for a lovely date, after dinner/work drinks, or light socialization. I ordered the Raspberry Lemon Drop which was light and lovely. this would be the perfect drink for someone who isnt a fan of strong drinks. My BF ordered the Watermelon Martini which was fun and flavorful but very strong. Needless to say we ended up trading. If you are the rowdy sort dont go here, youll ruin it. that and Skippy with throw you out but not before humiliating you in front of all the cute guys and their BFs.
by Alejandra Duty on Well, sugar, here we have a sweet little spacey place. What exactly is it, honey? Is it a bar? Nope, not really. The drinks aren't quite good enough to think of it as a bar, despite being pretty pricey. Staff is nice and it has a loungey, clubby vibe, but it's not really quite a bar. So, then, is it a coffeehouse? No, sugarplum, the coffee is better than the cocktails but while it's sleek and more importantly comfy, it's not quite cozy enough to be a coffee house. Others say it's cozy because it's got a fireplace, but you need really comfy chairs and a certain sense of snugness with your fellow patrons, the furniture, and the walls to feel cozy. This is more like drinking coffee in Ligne Rosset's less successful little brother. The swankiness all around you makes you think maybe you should get up and order another bev, not because you want one (a good coffee house will either quaff your caffeine jones with one surgical shot of perfect espresso or more likely seduce you into a Keith Richardsonian coffee jag of cup after cup) but because you feel obligated. Is it a club? Hell no, even though it has a pretty nicely setup private section in the back, complete with curtains and I believe I saw a velvet rope, and rumours of more swankery upstairs. So what the hell is it? You know, I'm not really sure. Some kind of early 21st century genetic accident where a coffee house stumbled home drunk from the bar with the club, whereupon (I love using "whereupon" in reviews and don't do it nearly enough) out pumped Sugar? I'd go back, just because it's a nice atmosphere, is a welcome respite from the general dreariness of the Union Square hubbub, and you can have liquor, coffee, or dessert, as you wish.
