I really love this place! A group of my friends stopped here after Flower Mart in Mt. Vernon yesterday for a bite to eat. The space is dark and cozy. The food menu had a decent amount of variety but we all settled on the burger, which was delicious. The meat was juicy and the bun had a nice chewy texture. I had the super food salad as a side, which was also delicious. It had a kale base and an Asian/soy sauce dressing. I could've eaten another salad it was so good! The drinks were great quality too. The Amaro Daiquiri was my favorite. I also had a Frenchie, which was yummy. Service was solid as well. Can't wait to come back! read more

This place is an absolute gem and is one of the greatest values in the city. It's a hidden bar downstairs in a basement in mount vernon. With a speakeasy vibe, the service is quick and food is delicious. I would go here weekly if my waistline would allow it read more

Came here with a few of my Elite All-Star friends after an event and I must say, I fell in love. I love the cozy, dimmed light atmosphere. The lights, the roses, the greenery and candlelight were simply beautiful. I love the feel of the space, you could have a nightcap, intimate date, friendly meet-up or night out with the girls. The drinks were amazing and beautifully garnished. The "Bam-Bam", inspired by The Flintstones, had fruity pebbles in it. How cool and colorful was that? You could enjoy the beautiful ambiance inside or sit outside under the stars and night breeze. I can't wait to come back and try more items off of the dinner and drink menu. read more

Quick drink after an event led us to sugarvale! We each ordered one cocktail, the bartender was great and we quickly had some delicious drinks in hand to take outside and enjoy the night! I thought they were a little expensive, each was $15 which is a little higher than I'm used to, especially since one was a smaller cocktail. They had indoor and outdoor seating which was nice. Overall would go try more! read more

Sugarvale was so cute and just what I needed to end the night. The had food but all I got was a drink. The drinks had cute names and were so pretty. I tried a drink with rum called the "Beach Dip" . The inside was dimly lit with a small bar area and seats around. They also had benches outside. read more

I've been to this venue multiple times over the years and they never disappoint. This basement restaurant has a very cool urban atmosphere and you don't feel like you are below ground. Since I'm not much of a cocktail drinker, I can't comment on the drinks from here other than to say my friends appear to enjoy their cocktails very much. There's also a ton of seating outside, and I love taking advantage of those seats when the weather is nice. My past recent visit, I got a slice of the Damn Good Pie...not sure what I was on that day, but that pie is named properly. The buttermilk tart gives a cheesecake vibe and texture and the crust was a nice finish. Definitely an enjoyable visit! read more

Sugarvale has some fun cocktails and drink options. They have both indoor at outdoor seating. The drinks were great, everybody enjoyed the cocktail that they ordered. I will say it took a little bit time to have the drinks prepared as there was only one person at the bar. They have some small bite available as well. I would not order the Mac and cheese as it barely had any cheese sauce. The kfc buns however were delicious. The pie was also a nice sweet treat. read more

What a vibe this Sugarvale spot! On Sunday, they have happy hour all day so we popped in after dinner for a drink. The bartender, Britt, was sooo friendly and the vibes were great. It seems like a neighborhood spot that locals love as seemingly everyone who walked in greeted my colleague who showed me around town that day. I wish I was hungry so I could have tried the food, as the menu has things like tostones, a burger, and spicy mac and cheese - yum! The cocktail menu is filled with good options. This definitely seems like a spot to pop into often if you're in the area. Good vibes, good drinks, and friendly service. read more

I really enjoyed dropping by Sugarvale recently! The ambiance is very intimate, with the door feeling slightly hidden going down to the basement level, and dim lighting plus candles lit at every table. I went in on a Sunday so there was all-day happy hour, so the drinks were very affordable! However, the food options are very limited on Sundays--I was excited to get the Spicy-G Mac and Cheese (the same one from Dooby's I think) and the KFC Buns, but will have to come and get it another day. There usually is Guacamole and Yucca Chips on Sundays, but unfortunately they said they were out of food for the weekend when we asked about them. There was seating both at the bar and at a few tables on the sides, but it probably would get filled up quickly with much of a crowd. The service was quick and great; we were given water as soon as we sat down and also handed menus. I'm not really great at ordering cocktails, so I asked the bartender for his recommendations for a drink that is sweet and fruity, and he suggested the Amaro Daiquiri. I thought it was delicious and hit the sweet and fruity notes while still being pretty strong. My friend got the Mezcal Paloma and she liked it as well. Something cool to note is that all the shaken drinks can be made into mocktails upon request too. It seems like a great place for a small catch-up with friends or for a date night after dinner. I definitely will be back for happy hour, but probably wouldn't come on Sunday just because I want to have a chance to try out the food menu! read more

We walked down after leaving another packed bar not too far away. Super intimate bar with unique cocktails. The Kapaa's Cup I order was spirit forward, but a bit salty for my taste. I ordered the Hurricane something (the featured cocktails change) was delish. It was a guava tiki style cocktail that drank really easy. read more

This is a cute intimate space good for a date night. The space is small so if you find yourself there while a larger party is also present it's going to get very loud, as was my experience. It was just too loud most of the night because of another group that had fun and enjoyed themselves! The drinks are complex and exciting, even the beers piqued my interest. The food menu is short and to the point for bar bites. So don't come with a large appetite. There is also outdoor seating which is nice on a beautiful evening. The bartender was very nice and attentive as he could be on a busy night, I appreciate that. read more

Food, drinks, and service are always exceptional. Highly reccomend the tostones, burger, and mac.

Sugarvale is one of those places that you know is going to be a good time and the perfect place to set the tone for the night. I always know I am going to get a good cocktail with good service and be met with good company. The interior is cozy and warm and the staff is so attentive and creative with the drinks they create. Normally I'll do a menu drink then go to one of my typical bar drinks but here I always want to try everything they create. I always know its going to be a good night when we start here. On the other hand their bar food comes over from doobys so you know its going to be good. Last time I came I got wings and I wanted to stay longer just to order more! so come for the drinks, stay for the vibes and get food! read more

tostones plantains 4/5 Tiramisu 3.5/5 while I personally did not like my drink (negroni) this was more of a personal preference than anything else. the bartender was super nice and the place itself has nice ambiance and is cutely tucked away in Mt.

First stop on our pub tour. Got the really fun guy and alien love call cocktails. They made the drinks fast and yummy. The really fun guy is a great combination for the more bitter flavors and the alien love call was yummy with a bit more sour. Not margarita sour, it's great. read more

This was the first stop on a spooky pub tour. Imagine my surprise walking into this swanky establishment expecting a pub. The drinks are very unique and yummy. Our group had four different beverages and enjoyed all of them. The drinks do have an elegant touch, so this would be a great place for a date night. Highly recommend! read more

Went on a whim to try this place out and I'm glad I did. I came alone however I had good small talk with the bartender. Their menu changes based on the seasons which I enjoy. I tried the Kuromi Koffee which is their flair of an espresso martini. The flavors were amazing as It reminded me of a salted caramel drink. I'll definitely be back read more

Great, BUT ... The atmosphere was great as were the food and drinks. Concerned and disappointed about 2 things though. Concerned about hygiene - allowing a woman with long hair to vigorously brush her hair (and I don't mean a few strokes with the brush for a minute or two either) at the bar where there is exposed food, drinks and condiments. Who knows where her hair and skin flakes wound up. Made me a little queasy. This coupled the the facts that the restaurant is in a basement in a city that is "ranked by 7th in Orkin's list of the 50 rattiest cities in America" almost made me stop eating their very delicious Permil port bun and, unfortunately, started me wondering about other sanitary practices. Did her hair provide materials for rats' nests? Disappointed that they do not put any cherries (let alone Luxardo cherries) in their Old Fashions, at least not for happy hour; aren't Luxardo cherries a must? read more

If you're a Yelper than you probably have a list of saved places to try. Well Sugarvale has been on my list so one day a friend and I popped in as they were opening. We got parking right in front which could be an issue on a busy night...FYI. We grabbed seats at the bar, chatted with the bartenders and were off! Off to real boozeland after having a couple cocktails. Not a complaints by an means, just know what you're getting yourself into. Those crafted cocktails pack a great punch in this cute little speakeasy-esque spot. The sole restroom did cause a line after a few but otherwise a cool place with interesting people talking about eclectic things. I'll be back soon! read more

The cutest basement cocktail bar in Mount Vernon. This is a Phil Han cocktail bar (same owner as Dooby's). This area reminds me of NYC and it's an escape from the city. It's quiet and quaint with the loveliest cocktails. They do have HH regularly, they usually don't have food Sunday afternoons. It's a must for anyone that wants a HH, date or night cap. For outside seating you have to go inside to get served, which can be annoying. But other than that this intimate cocktail bar is among the top in the city. read more

I was visiting Baltimore for the weekend and this place was listed as one of the highlighted restaurant. Fist, it is a bar , with some food options , no a restaurant. The place is very nice, and the out side setting is very enjoyably. You need to know there are not table service , so if u are seating outside, you need to go to the bar to order. Maybe if u are by yourself , when u comeback after you order is someone else seated on ur table . My first cocktail was good , but the chicken bun was too spice , I gave it up . When I went inside for my second drink and food , they told me the kitchen closed at 9. It is ok but Why do not tell your patrons kitchen is closing soon? I just left. read more

*This review is Pre-COVID. I haven't been here during COVID. Where do I even began? My friend asked me to join her and her friends one time back in December. I reluctantly agreed. I drove around 5 times before I could find the entrance. It's tucked away in between houses with stairs walking down to the entrance. Considering it was December, the inside decor was so festive and beautiful! I couldn't believe my eyes! I came back here again after walking around Miracle of 34th street. Beautiful vibes and drinks. I truly enjoy their seasonal collection and decor. It makes coming back here enjoyable and pleasurable. This is the perfect spot for date night or an intimate setting. I wouldn't consider coming here with a bunch of friends as inside it can get pretty packed. read more

Really nice date night place! My partner and I were visiting and came across Sugarvale. It was right after happy hour so things were super busy but we were able to get a seat at the bar after a short wait. The drinks are really great, both my partner and I enjoyed the flavors and creativity of all the drinks we ordered. For drinks we tried the Highwayman, Mystery Man, Ms. Secret, and a couple of beers (I can't remember the name of them). All were really enjoyable. We also got the sweet potato chips, SV burger, side of broccoli, and KFC buns. They were all good but for us definitely the highlight is the drinks. read more

I've passed by this place a lot. I stopped in around 9:00pm on a Wednesday night. It's a small, yet well laid out bar. There is seating at the bar and small tables as well. We opted for a cozy table. My friend ordered a beer and a cider. The cider was light and crisp. The prices were low - less than $7 per item for what we selected. The cocktail menu was interesting and I would like to try some in the future. The food selection is limited but that is typical for a quaint bar. I only saw one bartender. He was attentive and friendly to each patron. read more

One of my favorite cocktail bars! The drinks are complex and thoughtfuland the service was great. Also love that is pretty low key. Geared towards cocktails and not just ambience so not so much of the younger social media crowd.... keeps it an intimate setting. read more

I went on a whim night! it is a hidden jewel and extremely small. We we're able to find a table in the back for two, we ordered wings and their burger. The drinks were wonderful and the food was great. although, there was only two people serving bartender and host; our food came out very quickly. Will definitely be returning! read more

Sugarvale is one of the tastiest spots for cocktails in Baltimore! First, the staff is incredibly friendly and Covid conscious. The outdoor tables allow for plenty of room to spread out and provide a lesser-known view of the beautiful Mt. Vernon neighborhood. Not only is the staff and atmosphere sublime, but the drinks are incredibly creative! I ordered the Tropico which came with pineapple leaf garnish - something I've never seen before! The drinks paired unique, natural flavors with topnotch spirits all while avoiding being too overpowered by sweetness or booziness (aka the perfect balance). Whether you plan to go out for outdoor drinks or pay a visit once it is safe enough to hang out inside, definitely add Sugarvale to your list of Baltimore bars worth checking out! read more

I will definitely come back. Charming atmosphere, friendly staff, great cocktails and solid food make this a great place for a drink with friends or a nice date. Food - solid. It was at worst still good and at best phenomenal. The sweet and spicy nuts weren't really spicy, but they still had a nice sweet-salty vibe. The Spicy-G Mac & Cheese was also not that spicy, but it was very tasty and quite satisfying. The buns that caught our eye were the Pulled Lamb buns and the Oyster Mushroom Buns. My wife really enjoyed the lamb and I dare say the oyster mushroom buns were so well prepared that they tasted even better than the meat (my wife doesn't usually like mushrooms, but she enjoyed these!). My wife loved the Burger #2, which was a stepped up version of their usual burger. I went for the Bean & Beet burger, which was fine, but I've had much better bean burgers than this one. Damn Good Pie - lives up to its name. Get it. Basically a crème brûlée pie with a great crust and a solid tang from the buttermilk. You will not be disappointed. You're welcome. Drinks are great. We got two classics for happy hour - Old Fashioned and Manhattan, which were well done. I loved that the bartender was able to suggest from the somewhat daunting list of fancy cocktails something that would suit our taste, based on what we'd had. Even after enjoying two on the menu, he made us something off menu which had bourbon in it and it was delightful! Prices can add up fast, but this place is great. Definitely recommended. read more

Upon arrival, we scanned the menu , ordered our first round of drinks, and started a tab from our mobile phone. It was easy and a beautiful hot and breezy day in Mt. Vernon. So, we're already talking about going back to have a few more of these creative concoctions. We sat outdoors and enjoyed watching people and dogs walk by. The tables and seats are in the street protected by a water barrier. The drinks made us feel more comfortable as cars whizzed by. read more

Came here 2.5 years ago and fell in love. Had to stop by on our way back from Kentucky. And I usually only review a place after the second time I've gone. Got here on a Monday at 5:30 PM. The bar wasn't crowded, but we took a table anyway. Usually, the bar is the go-to. There was one bartender working and he was killing it. They don't make 'em like that anymore. I don't understand how he tended to everyone, got food orders, etc. I never saw anyone else in there during those 2 and a half hours. Drinks were great, even the Happy Hour ones. Daiquiri, for example, was b-b-b-bangin'! read more

Since moving to Baltimore a few months ago and starting a job near Mount Vernon, I've been to Sugarvale a few times now! It's a great little cocktail bar with a small but inventive menu. As of October 2021, they have reopened inside just for the purpose of ordering and paying, and they are open for outdoor seating only. So it's definitely a weather dependent bar right now (they are good about posting on Instagram that they are closing up early or not opening up on a day with rainy/bad weather). I haven't had their food, but all of the cocktails I've tried have been good. It definitely seems like a neighborhood spot (one of my friends who lives in Mount Vernon almost always runs into someone she knows when she visits), but it would also be a great place for someone not from the neighborhood (like me!) to enjoy a drink before or after a dinner at a nearby restaurant. I've been a few times for happy hour, and once for drinks on an evening after dinner. It's a chill spot with some great drinks. Check it out if you haven't been before! read more

If you're looking for a very lowkey bar in the vibrant baltimore city i'd go here. The drink selections are unique and different. This tiki drink I got was soooo good and I'd go back again for the dim lit vibe, good music and lowkey spot. the service was also quick and attentive. read more
