This used to be one of my favorites, but the service.... has become indescribably, deplorably bad. Bartenders don't acknowledge people waiting, don't have any sense of order of arrival, walk around the bar performing tasks with no sense of urgency or efficiency, get drinks wrong, don't clarify orders they don't understand, and obviously prioritize their friends. If you wanted to show bar owners a 5 min video detailing how to alienate your entire customers base with bad service, you could film it here on any given night. I waited for almost 28 min before walking away without getting service. I was not the only one.

Not sure if the lack of service is common, but at least when we visited on Friday evening the service was absolutely abysmal. The bar was not very busy but it took about 20 minutes before even being acknowledged by a bar tender. They not only did not acknowledge our existence but also had no awareness about the order of which people arrived (which was only two different groups of people). It was very odd and disappointing.

I was able to try this place for the first time last weekend and it was awesome! Sugar Maple does a lot of cool pop ups. We went to the Strangers Things one. The cocktails were so fun and tasty. The staff and owner were all so kind!
Highly recommend!
Nice bar with a large selection of brews.

Inspire specializes in having around 60 beers on tap and also serves up cocktails. Great atmosphere and a great place to meet for some good beer or drinks.

I took my dad out here for Father's Day at his request. We had a very nice time. The beer selection was lovely. The lady at the bar was very nice. I think for a chill summer Sunday afternoon on the outdoor patio, it was really sweet. It's true the bathrooms are co-ed but I had encountered this in Frankfurt Germany so I wasn't fazed, but the one I went in had 1 stall and a urinal outside the stall with no privacy so be prepared for that (I didn't see if you can lock the door once you're in there for more privacy).
Great craft beer bar - awesome selection and great atmosphere. Highly recommend

It has never changed in 15 years
This is such a wonderful spot in Bayview. Really lovely drink menu, a super kind staff (that helped me with a card issue super professionally and it was a mistake on my end basically not theirs!) They do tons of local artist collaborations , a super cute spot for events! I really think this is a wonderful establishment with an amazing team.

As a large group, we were very happy that we could easily find a table that fits all of us. I loved that there was an Adventure Time popup. Plenty of drink choices and you can add 5mg of tincture to any drink. Great venue in the back with local bands.

Having my event at sugar maple was an absolute dream. I had never planned an event before & the idea of it was incredibly daunting. Xay & Adrienne made the event extremely easy & smooth to plan. I received prompt & flexible responses to questions and the price was very reasonable. We ended up doing a signature cocktail & my guests have been raving about it since. It was delicious- so well balanced. The other drinks at the bar & extremely large beer selection were also beloved. We were allowed to sit out on the patio by the fire which provided a lovely dynamic for guests who needed a breather from dancing. The sound system is amazing, the projector worked very well, the back room is super cool & the vibe of the bar is immaculate. I would highly recommend using Sugar Maple for your event, going there for some beer with friends or attending one of there amazing pop ups.
