About

A secret upscale bar located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Sugar East offers fresh sourced cocktail and menu ingredients, music playing through the early morning hours, and legal indoor smoking.

Story

Sugar East came to life from the vision of Public Agenda as a sleek, midcentury styled upscale lounge that transports guests to another era, reminiscent of a NYC Speakeasy. A secret upscale bar located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Sugar East offers fresh sourced cocktail and menu ingredients, music playing through the early morning hours, and legal indoor smoking. Every element is a modern adaptation of classic design, based on Sugar East’s four pillars: escape, style, luxury and play. Anchored by 4 colors, this hip bar features playful branding and artwork by noted Berlin-based agency Maison C.C. (link to website) and illustrator Benedikt Rugar.

More than a New York City Speakeasy, Sugar East’s thoughtful design is complemented by bright flavors that accentuate the colorful cocktail menu created by Jeremy Strawn. Color, smoke and vivid flavors similarly animate Chef Stephen Lyle’s Latinate menu of small plates.

Elements of the decadent Havana High Life are integrated throughout visual and edible elements, including a nod to the fact that Sugar East is one of the seven remaining venues in New York City where tastemakers and troublemakers alike can grab a cocktail and an otherwise forbidden indoor late-night cigarette.

Under the leadership of Stefan Ching, Sugar East is the latest venue in the Merchants Hospitality portfolio, and will be open seven days a week from 5:00PM.

Reviews
I almost don't want to leave a review because I want this place to stay on the down low like it has been. Every time I go here there are the perfect amount of people and you can sit wherever you'd like without being told it's reserved seating - even in the huge cozy chairs and couches. It has an upscale feel, very cool/swanky decor, and lively music without being too loud to have a conversation. They always have old movies playing on a projector in the back and you can buy cigarettes and smoke inside. It's a little hard to find, but I like it that way.

This is a really nice local speakeasy, a pretty chill hip place with a friendly staff. If, you're looking for Unique drinks that are tasty, then I can't see you going wrong here. The Drink price are not for the dive bar scene, nonetheless with the creativity of the drinks you'll have a good time for a date or to meet for a friends

Rude staff. We were pushed out at 2am sharp. The annoying comments and nagging to leave kept up even as we were physically leaving by a staff member who was clearly high on some drug. Never gonna visit again. Also, extremely pricey drinks and a very limited collection.
