    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Sugarvale has a calm ambiance with a floral and fairy light ceiling. My favorite food were the KFC buns and the all the drinks were well balanced. The bartenders were friendly and great to chat with.

    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!

    Alien love call and Really Fun Guy

    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.

    Kuromi Koffee

    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

    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!

    Way too loud in there. They could use some sound dampening. And it would help if the cocktails were any good.

This was a post dinner bar visit so we mainly had drinks and added a few treats: colossal shrimp cocktail and warm butter cake. The colossal shrimp cocktail contained some of the largest prawns that I've ever had. They were fresh and perfectly prepared but one was enjoy to fill you up. The warm butter cake was sinfully good! Warm, soft, and sweet. The drinks were AMAZING! I ordered the Recurrence Eternal which contained gin, pear, and champagne. There were other ingredients in there but I wanted to spotlight these few. This was the perfect drink which will creep up on you LOL but it was sooooooooooo good. My boyfriend enjoyed his whiskey drink as well.

I have never been splashed in the face during the shaking of a drink that was being made by the bartender. The bartender was of a different race and seemed annoyed by my presence from the jump. I had been splashed in the face twice until a customer of his race came and sat next to me. I did pay attention to his behavior while the woman was seated next to me and his drink mixing wasn't as aggressive. I had to go to the bathroom during my visit and told him I would pay before going to the bathroom so he wouldn't make any assumptions about me. I asked him to keep my drink behind the bar because the woman was still seated next to me. I came back and the woman eventually left. I was still finishing my drink and I was splashed 2 additional times. The last time I made him aware of what he was doing. His apology was disingenuous and passive aggressive. I left after this even though I had intentions on ordering desert and listening to the musicians that were about to get started. I did inform the manager about my experience prior to leaving. I'm leaving the review bc the experience still bothers me. If they have cameras at the bar I'm sure my reaction to the splashing can be observed.

I went an hour early before everyone else was supposed to be there to get on the waitlist, but the wait was until 10 pm!! So I quickly switched gears and called Benny's because I've heard great things about them. The gentlemen who answered the phone was so kind, and was able to squeeze us in on the fly on a Saturday night, and they weren't slow. Got there super early because I was already in the area, and my wife and I decided to have an old fashioned and an espresso martini at the bar while we waited and they were excellent. The ambiance was upscale but still managed to be relaxed and comfortable. We had a lovely dinner, the waiter was busy but was still attentive and patient. Our whole experience was awesome, so we were already going back in the future. Yesterday I realized a mistake on my bank account from the bar charge, so I called around 6 pm and spoke to the same gentlemen as before. He got all my info and promised he'd call back in 5 minutes. I didn't really expect 5 minutes because I know how crazy the dinner rush would be at an Italian restaurant with a Wednesday wine special. Not even 3 minutes later he called back, and explained what happened, fixed it and I got a follow up text immediately letting us know the refund was already in process. Now, I've been in the service industry and I was a bartender, so I understand that I'm going to be a little biased here but from beginning to end Benny's went above and beyond. They clearly appreciate their customers and love their work, it shows.
