    Giving this a 4 just to be fair. This is a speakeasy. When you walk in it appears to be a bakery and they sell some tubed drinks. When we entered no one said hi or anything so we just kept it moving past that part. When you go to the back its cute and the have a huge outside patio where all the tables were reserved. We sat for a while and the crowd kept getting younger and younger so we left. They also should invest in new patio furniture.

    I really enjoy Sugar Room. I've heard about their Thursday R&B nights from a friend and decided a few weeks ago to try it out. It was a really great experience. I will say at first when we walked in it was way too crowded to the point that it was uncomfortable, but miraculously very soon into our time there it cleared out a bit to where it was a lot more comfortable. The music was really good...any time R&B is the focal point of an event I usually enjoy it. I also like the ambience of the venue. It is a cute bakery that leads into a bar so that is pretty cool. It's kind of speakeasy type of set up and it's actually fun inside. I definitely liked it here and would recommend.

    Do not let the bright picture fool you!!!

    If you blink you might miss the ice cream entrance, but take a second look and you will see a couple of security guards at the queue letting you know you are in the right place. Once you pass security and the entrance meander through the vermillion lit hallway and follow the music to the space known as the "Sugar Room". The DJ had the music bumping across all genres and the vibe was energetic. You would think people would be up on the dancefloor without a care in the world, but the majority were just onlookers. We were a party of six so we made our way towards the patio area and secured some seating. The bartender had a good pour and the libations were smooth. The patio area is a nice place to actually chill and have conversations while listening the the rhythmic tunes from the DJ on the 1s and 2s. We were able to get a few dances in before the floor was just too packed to move around; in addition, to patrons holding their drinks standing around. The WC is full service with attendant to supply you with all your dapper and fresh needs. Tip accordingly please. Overall, a nice place to chill and have drinks. The main party crowd for this night was approximately the 26-38 age group.

    Ambiance: Bakery/Dessert shop themed speakeasy with an upscale ambiance once you arrive to the bar area through the "storage" room from the main entrance. Fun concept! I love a good speakeasy. This is an awesome spot if you are looking for a fun girl's night, unique date night, or just to bar hop. Street parking available. Drinks are pricey but good! There is a bar area, lounge seating, and a patio area with ivy walls and additional seating options. Expansive drink & cocktail menu. Perfect location for bar hopping on a night out.

    Came here directly from work one evening with a coworker. He somehow got us in even though they were not open yet. I tried several drinks and eventually had them just make a simple G&T for me because the stuff on their menu had too much of either cucumber, herbs, or something that I did not like. The interior is absolutely charming. Service is super friendly. And it smells absolutely amazing inside. There are several areas where you can sit and enjoy the scenery. The music can be a little loud which was slightly annoying. I imagine this place gets very crowded during their rush hours. Overall, a very nice place to come and unwind. Don't let the cupcake front fool you :)

    I've been doing a Houston hidden speakeasy/ Secret bar tour and Sugar room was definitely on that list of destinations. I went Saturday, January 13, 2024. I love how it actually appears to be a little dessert shop that sales cakes and cupcakes. I thought that was so cute and adds that air of mystique that I love. I've actually rode by there a couple of times not even knowing it was a bar in the past. When you enter the building, go through the black door to your right. It leads through a storage area, which has another door that leads to the speakeasy bar. The vibe in here is crazy, sexy cool. It's very diverse and there is a lot to do between desserts, hand crafted cocktails made by some of the cities best mixologist, Uno, Jenga and room to dance. The service is great. Drinks don't take long to be made and tables don't take long to be cleaned off after others leave. I had a lot of fun here and enjoyed myself so much I would definitely bring friends back for the experience.

    This is such a cute speakeasy. Spacious and well decorated. The drinks are pretty good too! The crowd is pretty mixed so if you're looking to people watch it maybe meet new people and chill this would be a great place. The DJ was pretty good too playing a good mix of all genres new and old. They also have an outdoor space but I didn't go out it was too hot! Would definitely visit again

    Drink garnishes. So pretty

    Friday night fun! I really enjoyed the TBF with 90's/2000's songs and great cocktails. It's a speakeasy hidden behind a real ice cream and dessert shop. We entered earlier on in the evening so music wasn't the main vibe. The drinks were mixed well. Favorite became the "Staycation", rum based with summery taste such as pineapple and dragon fruit. Staff is super friendly. Was it 9pm? Not sure when the DJ officially checked in but he definitely knew his portfolio of throwback songs and reading the room. I sung and danced my life out. It started to get more and more crowded by 11pm so we checked out. I had a really great time. Hope you do too!

    I checked out Sugar Room with a few coworkers after a work event the other night. A welcoming gentleman opened the door to their super cute candy store cover-front and led us through the supply room then into the very spacious and dimly lit main room/speakeasy. It is very nice inside. The signature drinks were $15 each. I got the Death B4 Decaf and it tasted as good as it looked. Everyone else's drinks also looked good and they seemed pleased. It gave date night and wasn't too busy for a Wednesday night. Their patio is also spacious and has nice decor.

    Speakeasy bar 10/10. The bartender and manager on duty were really sweet and kind. They gave us recommendations on other bars to check out while in the area. I had the staycation drink and it was really good. You can taste all the flavors. Also had a lemon drop shot which was also pretty good. I went around 8pm on a Friday night . It was still early in the night, so pretty chill vibes . DJ doesn't arrive until 10pm. There busy nights are Saturday and Sunday so if you want to beat the crowd , go on a Friday or before 10. I would definitely be back!

It looked dark, clubbish, and fun (exactly what I was looking for) and I couldn't wait to come here. After a 25 minute Uber ride we were downtown and walking to our destination. At first we could not find it but thankfully a nice gentlemen showed us where it was. Upon walking in, darkness with these bright lights paved our way. We sat down at the bar, but realized dancing did not start until 10pm. The bartender came over and said to us "we have a speakasy behind door #3" we were like WHAT! Let's go. So, we walked down the dark hallway and pushed open door #3 (hence the name) to find this super cool speakeasy bar. Dim lights, really modern decor, comfy suede chairs and best of all, some really great cocktails. If you are ever in Downtown Houston, I highly recommend you coming here. I promise you will have the best time. We did not stay for dancing.

Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something different for a night out. Not sure how it took me this long to stumble in here. Parking is what it is downtown so, there's that.

When people in reviews say this place is dark, I mean "the lights are almost out" dark.

The upstairs is couples only, but the bouncer told me that if you'd slip him $20 then you can go upstairs and try your luck. The pictures they show you are brightened. This place is nearly pitch black. And I'm not saying this to blow up anyone's spot, it probably is a great spot for couples but it just wasn't my scene, especially when I vouched that it was a good place for me and my guy friend to chill. Also, the bartender wouldn't give me and my friend the time of day. I was really excited to see how this place made drinks and they wouldn't even service me and my friend...she just was checking her social media. I might come back here one day with a girlfriend I know VERY well, but as for now I'll keep my change and go somewhere else

Next, I had the Three Dots and a Daiquiri ($13) with Rum, Lime, Velvet Falernum, All Spice and Pineapple and it was very similar to one of my favorite tiki drinks, the Three Dots and a Dash, complete with 3 luxardo cherries. To finish, I had the absolutely incredible Golden Laurel ($16) with Gin, Italicus Bergamot, House Greek Botanical Bitters and Sea Salt. It is equally beautiful served with a clear bay leaf and delicious.

I was a little worried about the cocktail being overly banana-y but it wasn't at all. It was a fantastic drink. For my last call, he recommended the Left Hand ($13) with Bourbon, Campari, Sweet Vermouth and Chocolate Bitters. Again, fantastic. Both nights, the bartenders and drinks were fantastic.

Love the concept and the door behind the bookshelf. However, just tell us what to do and step out the way. They stand right on top of you and it ruins the pictures/videos. We get inside and the vibe is great. Low lit and nice ambiance and decor. We go to the back and get seated. It was kind of awkward seating for four but it got the job done. Cool view out of the single window to the city below. Let's get to the drinks and service. Apparently, it was a newer menu and many of the drinks we were told about were no longer listed. The server was very strange and off-putting. She didn't do the best job describing the drinks at all and kept calling us "my babies". Four full grown adults being referred to as "babies" by a woman our age or younger was just weird and she did it a lot too. No one liked it. The drink I got was extremely overpriced and came in a tea cup- not my cup of tea. My friend asked for something creative using tequila and pineapple- she said "sure, we can make that. Do you prefer 1942 or clase azul?" I stepped in. I know you have more tequilas than your two most expensive options. Of course they did and she gave him more realistic options to mix with. Had I not stepped in, she would have taken advantage of him. None of us were impressed by the drinks, the prices or the service. None of the fun and fancy drinks were shown to us nor seen throughout the bar or other tables. No smoke, no big bubbles being popped, no treasure chest with a drink in lol This was an expensive let down. We do a ton of high end and expensive dinners and bars. This did not live up to the hype or price point. Extremely overrated and the strange service left a bad impression on all of us.

Every Wednesday, they host a midweek indulgence for the ladies: complimentary champagne, signature chocolate, and curated sounds inside this one-of-a-kind chocolate speakeasy. Come for the immersive chocolate experience. Stay for the seductive, late-night vibes. If you're in Houston and looking for a cute girls night out, unique date night, or a speakeasy experience, add this to your bucket list immediately. It's intimate, indulgent, and just different enough to make your night feel special. Now there are levels to this elevated experience. Here's the simplest breakdown according to their mixologist Tim: 1. Opening Hour: 2 infused chocolates, 1 chocolate medallion, a mixed drink, and a welcome spritz 2. Guided Tasting: 3 courses of drinks and chocolates 3. The Journey: 5 courses of drinks, chocolates, and other bites. Come hungry! You're encouraged to book a reservation through their website. But since we went on Wednesday for the ladies night, we were able to just go right in. I'm doing chemo so I can't drink or have the alcohol infused chocolate but I still had a great time. Sober folks can also enjoy this place. I got a cherry mocktail and it was the best mocktail I ever drank. They had two chocolate bon bons that weren't infused with alcohol and then all of the flat medallions are also not infused. They were sweet enough to send me home with some alcohol infused chocolates to have once I finish my chemo. We got there around 7 and didn't leave until the place was closing down. The DJ was amazing and she made the atmosphere feel more like a Saturday night.

    To start, when you arrive, you will ring the doorbell for them to come let you in, which I guess…read moreconsidering the space makes sense. The store front is very tiny, it could fit maybe 6 people fairly comfortably. They do have a speak easy space for their tastings, which is an interesting concept, which I'll touch on later. Effectively, they have different unique shapes of chocolate that are liquid filled with alcoholic and non-alcoholic liqueurs. Think licor 43, gin, bourbon, whiskey, tequila, etc. The chocolates themselves are good, there wasn't any that I disliked and I'd say the carajillo was one of my favorites. All that said, I think this can be hit or miss with some folks. I like them, whereas I can see how it has a bit of a flash in the pan type taste. It hits fast and then, that's it.Personally, I can get past that probably and could easily eat 10 in rapid fashion. Where this place loses my attention and where I struggle is the pricing. Value is always subjective and I'm sure some will find these to be well worth their price. For reference, I think it's 4 for $22, 8 for $34, when I recently visited. I just didn't find them to be worth that pricing model, particularly when there are other brands that you can get at a lower price and similar fillings. At the end of the day, I think this is worth it for an experience or date, particularly if you're going to go in for the tasting. Think, wine and cheese, in this case, cocktails and chocolates. It's $65 a person for the experience. Overall, I'm glad to see a boutique shop like this that's locally owned by a young, ambitious entrepreneur. My two cents, price lower and there is likely a higher amount of return customers for the chocolates, but I'll save you, the reader, the take on an entire business model diatribe here.

    Located next to Lombardi's, Segreto Lounge is one of Houston's best secrets in the Galleria…read more Delicious cocktails mixed with either live music or ambient upbeat house tunes help make this a premier hang out spot after dinner or if you want to have a relaxing moment with your crew. As for drinks, they are pricy due to the atmosphere/setting but they are quite tasty. Bartenders put a lot of love and detail into concocting them and it shows. Once you pick up your drink, you can either sit at the bar or one of the tables and lounge around; or (if you're adventurous) come up to the front and get your dance on. One thing I enjoyed about this spot was how my girlfriend and I could have a conversation with one another and not have to shout due to the volume. They serve food here too if you're hungry but I'm mainly here for the adult beverages, music, and vibes!

    I've wanted to check this place out for a while so I was so excited to stop by! Speakeasies always…read morehave the best, most creative drinks. We went to the upstairs area which was dimly lit and played 80s/90s hip hop. We tried few drinks. Lion's mane tail, brown butter washed whisky, mushroom (which I found so unique). It was quite strong and was nice to switch up from the usual old fashions we try. Second drink was sharp turn. It was super fresh and crisp. Clear as water but I definitely felt it. Service was really good here too. I like that the bartenders all create their signature seasonal drinks so they genuinely are so well versed when describing the drink menu.

    Refuge is such a high quality bar. You can tell that they put immense care into the quality of…read moretheir drinks and service. I ordered 2 mocktails and my husband ordered two drinks. I thought that the catch 22 ( mocktail) would be too sweet or vinegar forward but it was tangy and light. My husband actually said he liked my mocktail more than he liked his cocktail which was good but a bit sweeter than he likes. The second mocktail I ordered was off the menu. I asked for something tropical and not too sweet. It was pretty good but not as complex as the catch 22. My husband liked the jaded merchant better than the dew drop. He also was sipping far too much of my mocktail which speaks volumes about how good it was. Love the moody vibes, drinks, and service. I've only visited three times but should make it one of the places we come to more often.
