The place is smaller than what I thought. Their happy hour menu drinks are really good. The food is really good. The vegan burger is dry but it tastes good. The pie is really good definitely try it. It’s a good place to chill with friends.

I came for a night out by myself yesterday. The place is a little small but quite cozy! They’ve got an array of great cocktails and everything is very reasonably priced. I’ll definitely be back.

So last night, I stopped into this cocktail bar called Sugarvale on Madison Street. The place is small but cute — cozy, stylish, the kind of spot that makes you feel like you’re cooler than you really are just by being there. The prices? Way more reasonable than I expected. The cocktails? Chef’s kiss — flavorful, balanced, and definitely crafted by someone who knows their bitters from their simple syrup.
But then… there was Heather.
Now, I’m not saying Heather was actually chewing on Sour Patch Kids, but based on the sourness of her attitude, I wouldn’t be surprised if she had a whole economy-sized bag stashed behind the bar. She served sass with a twist of lemon — and not the good kind that comes in your drink.
To the owner: might I suggest supplying Heather with a candy that better reflects the sweet vibe of your establishment? Perhaps a few See’s Candies Milk Chocolate Truffles — rich, smooth, and incapable of side-eyeing a paying customer. Or even a good old Snickers — because clearly, she’s not herself when she’s hungry.
Despite the sour service, I’d still go back. Sugarvale’s drinks make up for a lot… but next time, I hope Heather’s rocking more sugar and less spice.

Didn’t know about this place, but was directed here by nearby hotel, when their venue was closed for a private event. Great recommendation. Reasonable price for a sparkling wine. Very welcoming bartender. Cool location near the monument. Would definitely come again.

If you’re looking for a cool, vampire-y basement bar with great drinks, check out Sugarvale. The interior is dim and a little loud, but feels very intimate and moody for a date or meeting up with a small group of friends.
Since 2020 they expanded their outdoor seating! During the day, it makes a nice spot for a drink and to read or write before the dinner crowd streams through.
The drink menu is always fun, and their food is a nice bite to munch along with your drink. The menu always has something for the more adventurous AND the more traditional, but their bartenders can accommodate you preferences if you ask nicely!

This is my favorite bar in all of Baltimore. We went once for date night and now I go once every week. Everything is delicious but I always get the pork buns and the Astroid Blues (see you in space cowboy). I love everything about this place. Please give it a try if you get a chance, you won’t regret it.

Had gone here with friends, it’s a small, kind of hole in the wall place, but it’s cozy with warm, dark, and slightly moody ambience. It’s a tight space with how popular it is. There’s table, bar, and outdoor seating. Sat at the bar and that was nice, it was easier to get your order in. Seats are comfortable for bar stools. People who can’t get a seat at the bar can just stand by it. There’s a bathroom inside, but I didn’t personally use it. In terms of drinks: alien love call, ginger beer (non-alcoholic), and sansho the bailiff. I recommend all three, but if I had to choose just one to drink again, it would definitely be the alien love call. Maybe it’s because I’m biased towards floral flavors. It was quite light and couldn’t quite taste the alcohol. I could probably drink 50 of those. Sansho the bailiff – heavy on the rum, but fun flavor combo. If you’ve never had ginger beer, it’s like spicy ginger ale. In terms of food, we got these wings and they were hella good – super crispy and I think they had honey drizzled on them. The blue cheese dip was super creamy and not as bitter as I thought it would be. It paired well with the wings. I forgot to take a picture of the beet burger I had, but I was pleasantly surprised by it’s quality. I’d order it again + didn’t really taste the beet in it, but that’s my preference anyways.

I love finding cool cocktail bars I’ve never encountered before. Sugarvale is a basement bar right near Baltimore’s Washington Monument in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood. The cocktails weren’t good they were excellent ! Great vibe and super cool bartenders. Strongly recommend!

Excellent drinks, decent food, can get a little crowded at night or on weekends. If it’s slow they’ll come to your table, but generally you gotta order at the bar.
Almost-may update, new seasonal drinks are fantastic (and still anime themed)
