If you are looking to experience an amalgam of musical genres, performed by incredible musicians while being served world class cuisine with a distinctly soulful flavor, then the Sugar Bar is your go-to place. The air of happiness in a multicultural, cozy as well as state-of-the-art venue combining a Southern Juke Joint vibe with superstar talent is electric. Broadway singers, blues musicians, new age performers all appreciating each other's gifts enabled the development of a true family feeling amongst total strangers in this singular restaurant. Thursday night's "open mic" events are an absolute must for anyone looking for a great evening out!
