What can I say went there but the weather didn't cooperate because it started to drizzle and it was super breeze granted it's a rooftop bar with amazing views of miami skyline Didn't have reservations but grabbed a table with a minimum consumption of $100 per person and it was good my waitress was great also super good service but too cold so maybe I'll go again next time but the place was good the music could do a little better read more

Without a single doubt the best rooftop bar in all of Brickell. It does come at a price but for the views and experience makes it all worth it. From every member of their team you can expect greatness read more

Horrible attitude from the Management. They should reconsider the way they talk to people. Kathy, one of the Managers on the day we were there, was dead rude to all of us, when all we did was spending a good amount of money in drinks. Stay away- the majority of the staff cannot even be bothered by your presence. And HR should be better at hiring managers like Kathy. Find other places to spend your money. read more

This spot is beautiful with full trees and everything with a sleek rooftop view. The drinks were creative, the food was better than described, and the staff was friendly without being overbearing. Shared this spot to celebrate an anniversary and it was a lovely choice. Docking a star because minimum spend was not disclosed until 1 hour before my reservation. read more

Sugar has some of the most stunning rooftop views in Miami--definitely worth it for the scenery alone. The drinks were amazing, and the elevator ride up added a cool touch. Service was okay, but the overall vibe made up for it. read more

The restaurant is amazing, the greenery, the food and the drinks. The view is breathtaking but it takes some work to see it. The service is great and atmosphere is top tier. Sugar is one of the best rooftop lounges in Miami if not the best. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice rooftop bar in the city. read more

We really loved this place. We got an amazing table on the rooftop, service was amazing, and the food was okay. There were some dishes we absolutely loved like the octopus. The drinks were a little light on alcohol, however the bartenders were nice. Definitely a great date night Or girls night out spot. They have a minimal $100 purchase per person, so be prepared for that. read more

Went there and had a problem with the validation for valet parking. They said they would, then the valet said no after the girl validated the ticket at the hostess stand in the restaurant. Sebastian the manager of Sugar promised to get back to me, not once, but twice and that was over a month ago. Go and pay $100 per person (required to dine) for mediocre food, then pay $30 to park. Wow, what a rip off. read more

This is a place to come to see and be seen. Pro tip: if you come at peak late hours on Friday or Saturday, expect a long line out the door on the main floor, before you're even able to get up the elevator to the rooftop. The drinks are fun but they're very expensive. You're paying for the scene. You're not able to sit down at a table so expect to stand and bop. The drinks are expensive but only a bit more than other miami places so if you're going for a fun night out and this is your activity, it's probably worth it. read more

Sugar is such a vibe! I love all the sweet drinks and the service is incredible! The hospitality is truly amazing and always feel welcomed!

Loved the ambience, the food, the staff, and every part of our experience here at Sugar. We were a walk-in group of 7 that became 11 for dinner and drinks, so it only Made sense to get a booth area. It was $100 pp with food/drinks included (technically), as the $100 was a food/drink minimum. We have a beautiful and comfortable seating area, multiple top notch employees helping and serving us, as well as good music on a rooftop with PHENOMENAL sushi, what more could ya want?! Can't wait to go back! read more

Pro tip: Just show up for drinks and the great city views! Yes it is definitely pretentious. They want you to have a table and make the minimum. They won't tell you what to wear but you'll feel out of place in anything less than what you'd wear to a nice dinner. But the views, the drinks and the bartenders make up for all of this. It's a must if you're visiting Miami. read more

I've been wanting to come here for quite some time and finally grabbed a reservation. I really decided to come to a rooftop dinner when it was 50° out and windy, but nonetheless they made our time enjoyable. If it wasn't for the blanket they gave me, I probably wouldn't have made it out haha very much appreciated. The host and waitress were both so attentive and friendly and on their game, even saved my bf from a plate that had shrimp in it. I wish I would've been able to indulge more in the food as I wanted to but a lot of the food here is a bit spicy which at times I can't do. They had a gorgeous selection of cocktails to choose from, as we were interchanging and tasting between each others. For food we got plates of pork belly buns, tuna tartare, boneless korean wings, and thai beef as well, and whew can I say everything was delicious. The location, the food and drinks, the staff and vibe it brings and the city view is everything you want. Also, random, but I've never been in a smoother elevator ride, it literally feels like your standing completely still going up 40 flights. 10/10 recommend coming but maybe not on a cold windy night if you're a miamian lol PS: Food was too good, and I was way too hungry to remember photos. Will report back. read more

Sugar is a very trendy rooftop bar in Miami. After reading some of the reviews I see a trend, and fortunately for us we had a different experience. We came early for a Saturday night in Miami. 9:00 pm. We didn't have a reservation but didn't have to wait long. Once we got to the hostess we were given a couple of options. Two of them were $100 per person minimum (we were 4 people) or one hour at a table with no minimum. Guess which we took? We were seated at a pretty cute table across the bar. For being a rooftop lounge I thought there was way too much greenery, trees, bushes. It's like a forest. I didn't even see a hint of a view. Frankly we could have been at any outdoor lounge and it would have felt the same. Didn't feel like a rooftop at all . I guess the view, or even the feeling of being on the 41st floor of a high rise in Miami is only reserved for those who pay. Our waiter was nice and came a few times. We each had a drink. All have quirky names. I chose an old fashioned that was supposed to have banana infused bourbon but tasted like a regular old fashioned. Not bad at all, but not a hint of banana flavor. Drinks were about $16 which is pretty good for Miami. Let alone a super hyped place. We'd had a few drinks prior, so we just had the one round. No food. I though it was good. Because of all the trees we kind of got lost on our way out. The place is quite small (Or at least it feels that way because of all the trees) so that is saying something. I though all the trees are too much and make the place felt claustrophobic. I have no idea how it looks like in the area that does have the view. Anyhow. I don't know if it's worth a second visit, especially with the high minimum and all the unsettling reviews I read, but my own personal experience was OK. Oh, the elevator is so cool. I'd ride it again. 01/01/2021 read more

Drinks were delicious! "B positive" drink is AMAZING! Keith was our bartender. Very attentive! Very polite. Visited on a Wednesday evening. Very busy, apparently the place to go for drinks. If you want a table there's a $100 per person minimum. We had drinks and appetizers. Again, drinks were wonderful. Appetizers were ok. If only the bar faced the sunset.... It does not, so only City lights to see, however it is beautiful. Great venue to meet friends! Great venue to entertain clients. read more

Sugar - B Positive Really delicious! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Service, vibe was great but that was about it! The drink was meh I wouldn't believe there was alcohol if I didn't see him make it. I will say the sushi was good but not worth $20 but I know that's miami prices but omg these $20 boneless wings ruined my night! First of all they fatty and I got them to go so I would've sent it back if I opened my box there.. Complete disappointment read more

My daughter just arrived to US ,and it was her bday . We had dinner reservations but decided to stop by here for a drink and enjoy what I think is one of the best views of Miami . The place is expensive , but not much more than other places in Miami , and actually honestly , with that view you can put whatever price you want. I will pay it !! We sat at the bar, since tables are just for full dinners only . Service and the drinks were good . After a couple of drinks and soaking in the atmosphere we decided to order some snacks . Unfortunately the food did not live up to my expectations. The dumpings were tasteless and the sauce was extremely salty. The spring rolls seemed like they were reheated. I like this place , but definitely just drinks next time . read more

They have a hidden minimum that they don't enforce and it's an absurd amount of money. They took advantage of us.

Well if this isn't the place to be, just for the ride up the elevator! Once at the rooftop bar/restaurant, the tropical ambience puts you in a great mood instantly! Nightlife is loud and busy! I definitely felt like the oldest hip shaker in the room, but wasn't there to find a hook up, just meeting friends. Food was good and drinks were refreshing and tasted great. I wouldn't choose Sugar for a social outing, (based on my age) but truly enjoyed my experience. The view is amazing! read more

I still love this spot. It's pricey, sure, but the food, drinks, views, and vibes are all fantastic. The sushi is especially amazing--so good! My husband and I have been coming here for four years and always bring guests when they're in town. The seating can be a bit awkward with super low sofas and chairs, so keep that in mind. Also, be sure to read the details of your reservation when booking to avoid any surprises, such as the two-hour time limit and the minimum price per person. read more

Wow. Six years after my scathing review and I decide to come back - only because they have the Tea Room which sounded like a different lounge altogether. It was. We arrived around the same time and this time it wasn't the mission impossible to get to the roof. We went to Tea Room and enjoyed the magnificent views. You needed reservations to sit but we were happy to stand by the bar and take in the views. It's indoors so it's perfect for any weather. Since we were up there, I wanted to compare Sugar to Tea Room. Tea Room definitely had the better views. Sugar has many trees and nooks for intimate drinking and dining but I wasn't that impressed. For a rooftop, it has very little rooftop views, but the food looked good. read more

Zombie, and since obviously what is sought after at this venue. After being escorted upstairs, and waiting in the hallway, we were finally shown our table, which was essentially an outdoor picnic table that was highly coveted as they were squatters in our seats, almost immediately upon arriving. Drinks are relatively standard prices for this type of scene and bottle service ranged from $800 plus with mixers. They also had tapas which we tried a few and were enjoyable, but we were all full from our dinner at Doma to really give them a shot. Being on the rooftop, you would think of you to be spectacular. However, many of the tables and windows are far from each other, and window access is mainly blocked off for the most part so you're essentially just enjoying the rainforest theme with your friends on a rooftop with expensive drinks. Very cool place in general, obviously the type of place where girls are taking 1 million Instagram photos in the hallway, making it hard to get by. read more

He won't admit it, but Drake was inspired to write Views because of Sugar. Rooftop. Good drinks. Clean bathrooms. I have no business being at this rooftop bar as much as I am. My bank account is not qualified to be spending the type of money Sugar demands. The view is great when you can see it. I say that because usually it's pretty crowded and sometimes it's hard to find a good spot on the perimeter where you can post up or take good photos. It's also hot AF. Idk why I flat iron my hair before coming here, because I leave looking like Harmione. If you're in town on vacation and money is not an object, pull through. Otherwise, I recommend coming and just seeing the place, because it really is a nice spot. The elevators are great for pics and the bathrooms are always clean. Bartenders know how to make excellent cocktails. A little overpriced in my opinion, but hey, it's expected in Brickell. read more

Beautiful rooftop bar at East Hotel. I really like the fact that you can enjoy sunset happy hour while overlooking the city, its so beautiful.

For table seating it's a $100 minimum per person. Spending $100 is not hard to do. If you are still reading this... The drinks are both creative and strong, if you live in Miami you'll appreciate this. The whiskey drink "Shake and Bake" was a table favorite. The ambiance is both lush and hip, everywhere seems a bit cozy and secluded with all of the garden plants creating semi-alcoves everywhere. Oddly enough, these and a huge bar actually block the cityscape views so don't expect that. Our server was amazing, excellent recommendations and just the right level of attentive. Food Brisket Bao Bun - everyone's favorite food item, I will always order these Thai Beef Satay - a table favorite, some bites were better than others Poke Bowl - delicious and a LOT of food Glazed Salmon Satay - delicous, another table favorite Truffled Pistachio Tataki - wonderful combination of flavours, too salty for a couple of people Crunchy Salmon Roll - delicous, another table favorite Tuna Tartare Roll - pretty and good but not a standout like some others I'll be back, probably just at the bar for an old fashioned and the Bao buns though. read more

My husband and I always loved this place and have been going and bringing guests to Miami for years! Friends came in town and we knew we had to bring them here. We were aware of the $10 per person limit and were ok with this. First of all we got sat at a table tucked away in the corner with zero views for anything that would make you feel like you're about to drop $400 for DRINKS. We asked to move and it was accommodated although the new table still wasn't up to par (zero views) we made it work. We ordered one round and quickly realized the entire place was full of extremely drunk what seemed like underaged college kids. Not what you expect at a high end rooftop bar in brickell. We asked if we could just pay for the round and leave as we had only been sitting there less than 30 minutes and previous times at sugar they are not always strict on the minimum. Manager was sent to the table and was very rude and not accommodating at all. Our out of town friends ended up leaving because they didn't like bathroom activities of other patrons. My husband and I tried to reason with the waiter (who was very nice) but she insisted her manager would not budge. So we decided to make the best of it and order up on the $400 tab we were required to pay. HOWEVER, when we wanted more top shelf brands they didn't have it. We decided to just order bottles to finish out the tab and they didn't have any of our top picks for bottles. It was completely insane and disappointing and I will never be bringing guests if Miami to what I thought was one of the best spots in the city. read more

It was tough to find, but oh so worth it what a unique and eclectic fun rooftop bar with a unique tropical feel. The bartender was absolutely fantastic and created some incredible cocktails for us. Unfortunately we had just eaten brunch so we weren't hungry enough to eat but I will definitely come back here. The bartender was creative, a great conversationalist, and really fun to watch as he created all of these, beautiful gourmet craft cocktails with so much care and attention to detail. read more

Sugar is my go-to night time spot. I really only like sitting in the indoor bar area. It used to be super private but now it's a little more public. I like going there and sitting at the bar, having a nice drink & being in a peaceful place. There's no real crowd of tourists in you this area. Now, don't get me wrong, there are tons of tourists outside, but in this particular area, the tourists don't really know about it. read more

This restaurant certainly offers lovely harbor views--but only if you're standing. The tables are set right up against a somewhat dirty glass enclosure, which detracts from the ambiance. The food was solid, with a Korean fusion menu served tapas-style, giving us the chance to try a variety of dishes. The boneless Korean wings were the standout and surprisingly delicious for their understated name. The crispy octopus and bang bang shrimp were also excellent. Unfortunately, the Thai beef satay was dry and overcooked, while the Korean short rib was undercooked and overly pungent. Cocktails were creative but not well-balanced--either too sweet or too spicy, and all on the weaker side. The atmosphere leaned toward trendy but felt a bit over-the-top, with plenty of Instagram influencers treating the dining area like their personal photo studio. It was hard to relax in the middle of what felt like a non-stop photoshoot. The reservation and payment policies were also unusual. Leading up to our visit, I received five text messages confirming our reservation, reminding me about the dress code (which boiled down to "no beachwear"), and reminders that we arrive promptly on time were mentioned in every single text. Upon arrival, the hostess took my credit card and charged the $100 per person minimum spend upfront--a policy I was aware of, but it felt odd to surrender my card for the entire meal. It gave the impression that they've had issues with customers skipping out on the bill. While there were some highlights, the overall experience was more hassle than it was worth. At the time of this writing, they show a 3 star Yelp score and the feels about right. read more

Yes, yes, and yes. I absolutely love Sugar lounge, this is probably my third or fourth time coming! This time we had a room at the East so why not head to the rooftop for an evening of good eats and libations. We got the reservation package for a $100 per person which all went towards our food and drink purchases. Also we were granted entry into the nightclub, it was really good. This place is nice and lively a lot more so than it was pre COVID so it has picked up. Check out some food and drink photos below, great vegan options, well crafted cocktails, and music to make you dance. I've always enjoyed myself at Sugar lounge and the fact that I could just head to my room right after made it better. Just an FYI it's open for all ages until 6 PM after 6 PM you must be 21 or over. Reservations aren't absolutely required but trust me if you're showing up after seven you better make them. read more

On the afternoon/ evening of Dec 30, 2024 I met up with friends who flew in from NYC. We decided on this place due to the views. Our server was from Serbia and he was very nice. Between the three of us we paid almost $400. Right before we were about to leave he tried to get a group picture of the view and the hostess told us we had to leave the RSVP section because the people who reserved the table were there. I calmly explained to her that we were not sitting there and pointed to where we sat and advised that we were leaving but wanted to take a quick picture. She bluntly said no and that the guests were here. I asked if I could ask the guests if me and my friends could take a quick picture and she instantly shot it down. WHAT A BITCH! Honestly the only reason we came was because of the view but didn't even get that even though we spent almost $400 between us. The food was ok but got cold quickly. The security guard and server were nice but other than that I don't recommend this place. That hostess was such a bitch like seriously. 1 picture of the scenic view is all we asked for. It wasn't like we were sitting in the section. For Christ sakes all we did was ask to take 1 picture of the view and she was a total bitch! I don't recommend this place at all. I know of other rooftops that are worth it - not this! read more
