Sugar is located in Brickell. We had to take the elevator to the 40th floor. It was a beautiful open air environment. It was super packed with people and I found it difficult to navigate my way to the bar! We wanted to get a table and was informed it would be $100 per person in our party of 4. We were told that there was a club type situation on the other side. We walked over and was informed that we needed to be on a list to get in after 9pm. read more

The dimmed lighting at Sugar definitely sets the tone to unwind and enjoy the view. This place exceeded my expectation with the staff being attentive and helpful. The food sushi rolls were delicious!! Very mouth watering I never had a sushi roll like the Crunchy Salmon roll (10/10) and that was by far the best I've had. Highly suggest that you make a reservation when coming on the weekend or you'll be standing up or waiting in line before coming in. There's valet parking also you can park in Brickell City Center garage as it connects. I wish the drink Secret to Happiness was a little bit stronger but you love cocktails with light liquor taste to it then you should definitely try out this spot. read more

Sugar - Ridiculous price for drink! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Food - 3.5 Service - 4.5 Ambiance - 5 Drinks - 5 Whether you are visiting from out of town or you are a local, Sugar is always a great option. Drinks are on the pricey side, but they are strong and well mixed, you won't throw your money here. I always enjoy the vibes. Certainly a place for having a good drink with great company. Cheers! read more

A Miami staple this high end bar/restaurant offers the best/highest views in all of urban Miami. This place is high end and boasts expensive drinks and breathtaking atmosphere. The service is ok, and the food is average. If you can get into Tea Room (the speakeasy inside) I highly recommend. This is ultra secure, snobby, and sexy. read more

I was overcharged by $500 when I opened my Amex statement. I sent the copy of my receipt to the restaurant showing the amount I agreed to pay, which included a 20%gratuity. The restaurant called me back and acknowledged my receipt, but said that finance was going to look into it and should call me back in a few days. This is a corporate card and if I hadn't saved my receipt they would be getting away with charging me a random $500 read more

Was really excited to give this a 10/10 but it was very weird to be racially profiled by the black security guard with the little dreadlocks. Not only did he hold us to the side upon entry to look us up and down to see if we were adhering to "dress code" (we were in dresses and heels while other people were in t-shirts/jeans and flats), after spending $500 at the restaurant which was DOUBLE the minimum spend, he ran to stop us as we were walking out to ask "Did you guys pay??!" He claimed he asks everyone who leaves if they paid because sometime people run out. Let's be so serious, what type of establishment asks their guests right after they've paid the bill that they kept a credit card on file for the ENTIRE time if they paid!?! And we were GUESTS at the hotel, literally have already paid nearly 2k just to be here for the weekend. No surprise that the girls at the host stand were of no help when we expressed that that was very strange. This is the same guy who asked us the night before for our room keys just to walk into the hotel building because he thought we were there for the party on the roof. We said "no, we're staying here." He demanded to see proof. Our server was lovely though and the vibes were great. Sucks that this guy ruined our entire experience here. read more

Ambiance is superb. Staff are SNOBS. We wanted to spend money there and they acted like we were an inconvenience. There are other rooftop bars in Miami I would rather patronize who want our business. We will not be going back. Don't bother. read more

Sugar is great for the views, but it is very difficult to find seating here. Every space is reserved for, so the best bet is to try your luck with finding a seat. The alcohol menu is pretty standard. Service might take a bit depending on the crowd. This is a perfect place to take your tourist friends to impress them of Miami. But the most time you'd spend here is 45 mins- hour. read more

Like the other reviews say, this place is a little prententious. However, I do believe that it's worth it for a nice night out! There was a long wait on a Friday night. I want to say we waited at least 30 minutes to get in. Ladies, be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Crowd was mostly full of late 20-something's to early 30-something's. When we got to the door I was worried we'd be denied entry only because I don't think we were super dressed up, but all they asked for was ID. We made it in to the hotel and a nice gentleman escorted us to the elevator. It's a quick trip to the rooftop. Host in front of entrance and security men were friendly. They guided us to the entrance. It was super crowded!! We managed to get two seats at the bar but you will likely be standing. We got some drinks. They also have food, which we didn't order. Moderately priced (it's Brickell). I imagine it'd be super hard to get a drink because there were so many people, but we were able to get a couple drinks while seated at the bar. Drinks ordered: Lychee Blossom, B positive (has a little kick), and an Espresso martini. Drinks were delicious and bartender was super friendly. I know he was feeling the pressure in a busy night but he treated us very well. There were some rowdy people at the bar spilling drinks and breaking glasses so that was a bit annoying. Music was nice, but really loud. I'd maybe come again on a different weeknight if possible, but I don't want to stand in line again. Perfect for a date night or a girls night out. read more

Sceney | Vibes | Views Sceney - This place is one of the hardest spots to get into. Therefore, if you get in, bring your best fit. You will see models (runway, print, fitness, and the IG type) everywhere. Sugar is the spot to impress a group or get a feel for what "exclusive" Miami looks like. Vibes - this place is a whole vibe. One of the top rooftop bars in the country. With amazing decor and decorations. It is like being in a curated tropical jungle on a rooftop. The coolest part is that while it is an "open" concept, you have a lot of privacy. Our table for 10 was simultaneously secluded and open. We easily had a conversation while the music played, and we were able to connect with the tables around us. It is pretty ideal if you want to communicate with other people looking to impress for the night. Views - 40+ stories high in the middle of Brickle, Sugar has amazing views. It has 270-degree views of the city. You can see south beach, Key Biscayne, and all of brickle from the rooftop. At night it is pretty amazing. Take the time to walk around and take in all the views. Pro Tip - Make a reservation at least two weeks out. You will not get in without a reservation unless you are 9+ and know the bouncers. Table reservations have a $100 minimum (without tip and gratuity). Therefore, bring your appetite and drinking shoes to make the experience worth it. read more

** If you want to dine in you need reservations and the minimum per person is $100. If not, go to the outside bar. The view from the rooftop bar is unreal. There's so many plants and trees you don't even realize there's no actual cover up there. My friends and I only had mimosas but looking at the rest of the menu, the prices are very reasonable for being on the rooftop of a skyscraper in Brickell. Can't wait to go back. read more

On Christmas Day evening, we girls went to Sugar for holiday drinks and partying. It is located on the 40th floor of the East Miami hotel. The elevator that takes you up there has special mirrors and lights to make the ride fun. The Miami views are incredible as you go up. Once up, you are in the mood! We got window seats and ordered drinks only because we had already eaten Christmas dinner. The drinks were so good. Our waiter was very attentive and welcoming. Service was great despite the crowds. They had great music and a great ambiance, and everyone was loud and happy, which was exactly the way we were feeling. We had a great time and can't wait to go back. read more

This place! Super cute and perfect to meet up with the girls or even have a first date. My friend and I ordered a few small plate. So delicious, I was obsessed with the edamame. Our bartender was super nice and helpful with suggestions. Definitely coming here again. Highly recommended the Peach Face cocktail. So refreshing. Recommend sitting a the bar if you don't plan o eating a lot. Make reservations if you'll be a large party and minimum of $100 per person for the table seating. read more

The food and ambiance is amazing, however the service is subpar. The waiter continued to come by to remind us how much is left to spend to meet the minimum but never even asked us how the food was. Left us with dirty dishes. Definitely need better table manners. read more

The worst experience ever. You're not welcome at the bar inside unless you're on their guest list. But if I'm a tourist, how on earth am I supposed to find this guest list?! The staff were very unfriendly, and it really didn't feel like they wanted us there as guests. My friend and I tried to go in three different times, and every time they turned us away because we weren't on the list. From what I saw inside, it wasn't even busy -- and they seemed to only allow men in. Maybe it's a gay bar, I don't know. Definitely not recommended! read more

My husband and I were in Miami and decided to try out this rooftop bar. We made a reservation online and at that time we're not made aware that there was a minimum for each person. We were just interested in going and having cocktails and And appetizer. The day of the reservation, we got a text confirmation saying we had a reservation and in that Confirmation and only in that confirmation did it say that there was $100 minimum per person so we proceeded to cancel the reservation because we weren't gonna spend that much and no other time what we made aware that there was a cancellation fee or that there was a minimum per person. We ended up going we sat at the bar. We had two drinks. We had some appetizers and we left. I got home and noticed that there were two charges on my credit card one for the cancellation of the reservation and the purchases that we did make. The restaurant was not busy at the time so they weren't holding any tables. I reached out to the host Brian. Who responded and basically said too bad. So this place stole $70 from my cc. Even though we went and spent money there. I will be reaching out to my cc company. Anyone that goes check your credit caed reciepts as they steal from people . Dont go there read more

6 star ambience, 5 star service, 4 star beverage: Open air, elegant rooftop bar with knockout views and great service but overpriced cocktails. 6 star ambience: The absolute star of this show is the amazingly beautiful view and the location in the middle of Miami's hippest neighborhood. An open air bar/lounge 40 floors up atop the East Hotel, Sugar is uber-chic and offers an amazing view every direction. The building underneath is Miami's glitziest hotel, attached to Miami's glitziest shopping mall. Break out the high heels and Gucci dress shoes though; it's a VERY fashionable crowd (on one visit I was denied entry for wearing an expensive pair of Versace sandals LOL...no sandals for the dudes). The bar itself is nicely decorated and feels like an especially lush backyard in 18th century Beijing. 5 star service: For such a hip place the staff was remarkably friendly. They'll make anything you want to drink, even a drink they've never heard of, or a non-alcoholic version. The staff was uniformly polite, helpful with suggestions and the waitstaff men and women must have been hired from Ford Models...everyone looks like a TV news anchor. 4 star beverages: The drinks are good but overpriced. On top of the aggressive pricing, there is a strange policy of a $100 minimum to sit in the comfortable seating near the glass balustrade. Suggestion: if you sit at the bar seating, you get the same view and can just giggle at the if-you-got-it-flaunt-it types who have been fleeced of $100 to sit near the edge (they'll be sitting in the foreground of your view : ) On a clear day, ya can see forevah. West we could see planes landing at the airport, east Biscayne Bay with twinkling lights of South Beach, south into an apartment out of Architectural Digest and north all the way to the next county. This is as close as it gets to heaven in Miami. I love this place and always take any visiting pals or relatives. read more

Well well well, I could hardly wait to Yelp this place? First of all, being that they are not straight forward about the prices until after you book and get there, then you have chicks w/ dicks at the door w/ plenty of attitude towards there own kind, letting you know that if you can't afford $100 bucks per person then you are at the wrong place buddy! Well, to their surprise, my black fiance and my black friend whom was visiting from Maryland happen to be wealthy individuals, so, money was not even an issue, but to top it off, at the end of the night, after we've spent over the required limit of about $490.00 dollars, they told us we didn't have to go home, but we have to get the f))&* off the table so another reservation for $300 dollars can occupy our space! Ain't that some S%%#$! So, we proceeded to ask our server/waitress for a to go box for all the food we ordered that we couldn't eat right then and there since we had to leave the table for another guest! Tisk tisk tisk....well, this Latin dude came to pick up our plates to pack them, but the way he approached us was like a bus boy who came to clear the table not pack our food, so we signaled him no...we are awaiting for our server to pack this we weren't done yet, he brushed us off and ignored my fiance who tried to catch him before he left, with plenty of attitude he shrugged his shoulders and just abruptly continue to walk away. Well, I never! and I will NEVER Again, and will make sure I pass this along to all non-hispanic folks I know in high places to never frequent this place! I happen to be a very well known person in this community and have high profile people on my corner and again, I will make sure this place gets the right attention it needs. Thank you for a horrible time and your prejudice and racists employees, next you'll be hearing from my attorney! read more

Nice rooftop restaurant and bar, tucked away in Brickell. Cool vibes and ambiance. The bar is definitely popular during happy hour and on weekends. Drinks are good. Great city skyline views. If you want to sit at a table, there is a $100 minimum you need to order which is not so ideal. Not for me but still may be a good option for some. read more

This place can get busy and is very popular because everybody wants a little bit of sugar.... If you want the best experience, make a reservation or book a room at the East Miami Hotel. Our first time in Miami and I was lucky enough to book with the East and I have zero regrets. 5 night stay with 4 nights at Sugar for dinner, appetizers or the after party. The staff is amazing. You want to ask for Milos (pronounced Milosh), he is amazing. He also works at the Tea Room which is on the same floor as Sugar. Coincidentally, we look so similar that we could pass as brothers. Not only is he a good looking gentleman, he took extra care to make sure myself and all guest were taking care of. Since we spent so much time at Sugar, no we got the pleasure of meeting Corinna (might be Corina) on our last night. She is such a wonderful young women who made sure we had everything we needed. The View is 5 The staff is 6 The food is 5 The ambience is 5 If you want a top notch, culinary experience, make a reservation as the Friday and Saturday night crowd. It's already aware of how fantastic this place is. If you wanna grab a couple drinks, this place is a must have! Oh, and if you're looking for a bargain dinner option, this is not the place... Worth every penny! read more

We LOVED sugar. Our first time ima Tuesday and its was fairly busy. We were able to find a seat at the bar with Diego as our bartender and he was great. Very personable and knowledgeable on the drinks. There is also a host that always says "good morning" to keep things fun and entertaining. The rooftop was covered with greenery and a lot of the patrons were there for a conference but very professional. read more

I walked into sugar and asked for a drink recommendation with tequila or reposado tequila and the male bartender with blonde hair was extremely rude. He was rolling his eyes and just told me to look through the menu. The girl I was with decided not even get a drink because of how rude he was. I would never come back again. read more

We had the best time at Sugar this past weekend. We got a private table Friday night for a bachelorette we were celebrating. Pro tip - reserve a table and skip the line. It's packed on a Friday night, you definitely want a table. It's absolutely stunning treetop vibes with live edge wood tables. They had an excellent champagne selection and the sushi board was to die for. The service was slow, but that's to be expected on a packed Friday night. read more

The views in the evening are amazing from the 40th floor, however the seating is not comfortable. I was going to eat but opted for cocktails only. You can't beat that ambiance but the open seating and bar seating is not cushioned and the stools have no back support. The bartending staff really showed up but after a hour I couldn't imagine enjoying dinner without a comfy chair. Reservations are recommended . I went at 6 pm and it was pretty busy. Great pre- game but I opted for dinner downstairs. read more

Rainy evening unfortunately didn't get the view I was hoping for but made our way for cover in the main bar area. Ordered these delicious apps with our Moscow mules. Server was very quick and unphased by the weather. Perhaps he could have been more welcoming? As I sat there, you realize that the place is not only overpriced but the vibe isn't quite as you'd expect from other popular rooftops in the area. Aside from that, the food was delicious! I'd come back just to have that octopus dish! read more

We had a beautiful meal at Sugar last night. The service was top notch - I loved our server and I wish I could remember her name to give her a shoutout. I saw her taking pictures of all the tables there for the guests, which was going above and beyond! The ambiance is so cool that you'll definitely want photos. It feels like you've stepped inside a rain forest with amazing views of the city. The food was presented beautifully. You can't go wrong with the sushi rolls or any of the appetizers we tried, but I particularly loved the bao buns. I left feeling satisfied but not overly full, which is the sign of a perfect meal. There is a minimum spend of $100 a person, but that's incredibly easy to hit with wine, cocktails and food. We ended up hitting $198 for two people before tax and tip, so that was a pretty spot on minimum. If you're in Miami, this place is a must! Make a reservation to ensure you get a table with a view! read more

Great location, wonderful views, nice outdoors ambiance for drinks and very good service. The only complaint we have is that they allow people to smoke cigarettes, if it was vaping I would have no complaints, but the smoke of traditional cigarettes is bothersome, they should review their policy as I have not been to a place where this is allowed in the US in years, even when it is outdoors you still breath the smoke if it is close by and it is annoying. read more

In a different town and looking to get out and spread my wings. Who else would you call if not a local right? Well our buddy suggested Sugar which is pretty cool. The ambience is there, the view, the vibes and plenty of creative cocktails and quick bites however be prepare to spend at least $100 per if you want a table. A few drinks, beer and 2 jack + coke cost us about $40, tips included automatically but you come here to be seen and mingle and get the view, not for discounts. We are here on a Monday evening so there's no line but if you get here on weekends be prepare to wait. Bouncer was cool. Alejandro, our bartender was awesome and put up with my crazy banter about making your own cocktails. Hungry? They have sushi, appetizers and eggrolls, even desserts and ice cream but only if you don't wanna go anywhere else. Plenty of privacy. The venue is a bit dark with a tropical jungle like atmosphere, nice upbeat music, lots of young sexy people looking for excitement and adventures. I am now curious to coming back here in daytime for dinner. Definitely an adventure. Thank you friends for recommendation read more

This is the third time we've been back to Sugar. We normally come every year on our anniversary, and Stephanie takes amazing care of us. This year, she was moved to one of the other restaurants but nonetheless we were still taken good care of. We made a reservation which is definitely recommended because on the weekends, the lines and wait can be long. If you're going in a small group, you may find it easier just to go directly to the bar but if you can, it's nicer to get a table and soak in the amazing city views. To start, we ended up ordering a passionfruit margarita and the lychee blossom. Both drinks came out quickly, and you could definitely taste alcohol and them. Round 2 was just as good To eat, we shared the bao buns and the short rib dumplings. Both of them were delicious. We are very big bao buns fans and these didn't disappoint. The glaze on them was They were so delicious that we ordered two rounds. The short rib dumplings were also good. The sauce is a perfect addition. My only critique, keep in mind your on a rooftop in Miami, is that your bill will jump up quick. Be prepared to spend about $300 for 2 people. But we always have a great experience. I haven't been able to find a complete menu online so here is the link to their digital food and drink menu: https://qr.finedinemenu.com/sugar-miami/menu/6058d472d6ff7b0014c9c388 read more
