A really cool bar! I’m from out of town and love to find interesting cocktail bars, this is definitely it! The bartenders are good at what they do. I think the price of the cocktails is decent for the quality of what you get here! There are 101 classic cocktails on the menu, which is wild. I tried the milk punch, it was really good! They will have your favorite or new favorite.

The smoky presentation, the balance of flavors, and the creativity behind it make it unforgettable. The bartenders know their craft and make the whole experience feel special every time. If you’re serious about cocktails, Sugar House is THE spot in Detroit.

The Sugar House – A Must-Visit Cocktail Destination
When you think of a true cocktail bar, The Sugar House is where it’s at. With its vintage-industrial vibe and dim, moody lighting, the atmosphere sets the perfect tone for a memorable night out.
The cocktails here are truly next level. With over 100 drinks on the menu—not even counting the rotating seasonal options—there’s something for everyone, no matter your taste or mood. I’m a bourbon drinker myself, and let me tell you: these bourbon cocktails are unmatched. I’ve visited multiple times and tried a good number of their drinks, and not one has disappointed me.
The presentation is top-tier, and the flavor matches it perfectly. Even better? Most drinks are in the $12–$13 range. That’s an incredible value considering the quality. These cocktails are better than what you’ll get at most high-end restaurants and steakhouses—and for a lower price.
The service is just as impressive. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly, and if you’re unsure what to order, they’ll guide you toward something that matches your taste, describing each option with clarity and confidence.
If you’re into cocktails—or even just curious—this place is a no-brainer. The Sugar House is an absolute must-try.

Do not go by the name of the premises, The Sugar House , it’s not related to ice cream or sweets. It’s liquor bar. Visited first time and loved its ambience. I have seen the very vast variety of cocktails in their menu, 101 menu of whiskey menu.
They serve only cocktails and mocktails , no food is served here. It’s a must visit place and would again visit.

The Sugar House is a gem in Detroit. I ordered the EFK, a special menu item, and it’s a must-try for whiskey lovers—bold, balanced, and unforgettable. I also had the warm chocolate chip cookies, which were perfectly gooey with a pinch of sea salt that brought out all the rich flavors. My server, Florence, was fantastic—attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. The vibe here is cozy but elevated, and you can tell they care about the details. From the cocktails to the service, everything was top-notch. I’ll definitely be back.

Overall, the drinks were really good and there was a lot to choose from but I will say there was not a WOW factor to them. Also their chocolate chip cookies were good but not amazing. Lastly, they charge a 3% credit card fee which I am always opposed to as that is just a cost of doing business and should not be on the customer. I would recommend going to this place!

If you’re in the mood for a lively, fun, and sweet-tasting experience, The Sugar Bar is the place to be. Located in the heart of the city, this vibrant cocktail bar stands out with its playful yet stylish vibe. The decor is a colorful mix of vintage and modern elements, with neon signs, funky furniture, and an overall upbeat energy that makes it a great spot for a night out with friends or even a casual date.
The drinks are the main attraction at The Sugar Bar, and they do not disappoint. The menu is filled with unique twists on classic cocktails, each one sweeter, bolder, and more inventive than the last. One standout is the “Zombie”.
The bartenders here are friendly, engaging, and clearly love what they do. They’re more than happy to customize a drink based on your preferences, so don’t hesitate to ask for something off-menu or to experiment with flavors.
While the bar has a lively atmosphere, it can get a bit crowded on weekends, so it’s a good idea to arrive early to snag a good spot. The music is upbeat and lively, adding to the energetic vibe but never overwhelming the conversation.
Overall, The Sugar Bar is a fantastic destination for anyone looking to enjoy creative cocktails in a fun, welcoming environment. It’s the perfect place for those who like their drinks with a bit of flair and sweetness — literally and figuratively

There was no food here but it’s known for craft cocktails and mock tails- that’s what you will find it here. Had 4 really good drinks here
1. Penitent — by far best one !!!
A deep, smoky aroma with a hint of ginger, balancing mezcal’s earthiness with bright, spicy tones. Refreshing yet robust, leaving a warm, tingling finish.
2. In house/ on tap : Begins with a charred wood aroma reminiscent of a campfire. Whiskey’s warmth deepens with layered smokiness. Bitters and citrus add a tangy edge, while sweetness rounds out a caramel-like richness.
3. Cognac – my own version
Smooth, refined, with cognac’s floral and fruity notes accented by bittersweet complexity. Warm and rich, with vanilla, dried fruit, and oak hints. A balanced, indulgent experience.
4. Whiskey Sour—
A perfect blend of tart lemon and rich whiskey, with a smooth, velvety texture from egg white (if included). It’s tangy yet balanced, with a frothy top and a hint of sweetness that enhances the whiskey’s character, finishing with a crisp citrus note.
Go to the bar, chit chat with your bartender and let them know your taste — they know what you will like

Went here with three others, and it was as busy as they made it seem. I was trying to be patient, but the drinks took way too long – we waited over 45 minutes and still nothing. Had the communication been better I would have been more understanding but our server did not even come back to the table to say anything until I asked. I politely let him know we could wait another 15 minutes but if he didn’t think they would be done by then not to have them waste their time. After about 20 minutes we still did not have our drinks so decided to go elsewhere. Was unfortunate cause I do feel they have some super unique drinks that you can only get here.. Maybe better luck next time..
