Great music, great ambience, nice smell, awesome drinks. Best old fashioned i have ever had. Small but tasty food selection. Best and most addictive popcorn in the world.

The bar is top notch, however there is one bar tender looks Latin he is unprofessional and hostile, he kept hustling me all my stay with mo obvious reasons and i was minding my own business and he keeps victimising me all time. Two days ago i went there and it was very lovely the staff was completely different. All in all very good bar service is outstanding and beverage is so good except for that latin bar tinder.

Quaint bar, great drinks & apps. It was our second stop and we had a good time. The only con is due to small space you cant help bumping into people but no one was rude.

“The cocktails were great and the place was really nice. However, as a restaurant owner myself, I didn’t appreciate that the gratuity was automatically included for a party of two without being clearly disclosed. After paying through the Toast handheld, I was also prompted for an additional tip. We were probably mistaken for tourists since we’re not from the area, but either way—it left a disappointing impression.”

I’ve been a loyal customer at Sugar Monk for years, but what happened tonight was unacceptable. While I was sitting on the patio, a server with long blonde hair decided to carry a chair over her head and hit the chandelier above me. It fell and struck my shoulder—an incident that was completely avoidable and frankly dangerous.
What made it worse was how the server handled it. She asked if anyone was hit, and I told her it landed on my shoulder. Instead of coming over, apologizing, or making sure I was okay, she just walked off after a nearby table told her “everything was fine.” She never checked on me again.
The most shocking part? I heard her say she wanted to “avoid a lawsuit,” yet she made no effort to speak to the person who was actually hit. That says a lot about where her priorities were—certainly not with guest safety or responsibility.
A coworker did try to smooth things over with a shot and some popcorn, and I appreciated that, but it doesn’t erase the original server’s reckless behavior or her complete disregard afterward.
I’ve always loved this place, which makes this even more disappointing. Luckily, I was wearing a Knicks hat that protected my face when the chandelier fell, because this could have ended a lot worse.
Sugar Monk seriously needs to address this level of negligence. Safety and accountability should never be optional.

Beautiful ambience! The music selection was to perfection. The bartender Lee was great checked in consistently cleared our drinks consistently! This place is definitely a gem. The only reason I gave it 4 stars opposed to 5 is because the drinks were not strong but very crafty and pretty!
The place is cute and the atmosphere is great. The drinks are kinda weak and VERY pricey. They are creative but the price of sets it. Sorry, I didnt find this place compelling enough for the $20+ per drink price.
