This used to be my spot! If you like live music, be sure to check out their blues night. Get there EARLY! Camp out at the bar and save your seat because it's about to be standing room only. You can reserve a table in advance. If you miss a live music night, just purchase some points for the jukebox. Smoking section outside, no food, but feel free to bring your own. There's pizza, sushi, and sandwiches in the same plaza, so you're set! A staple of the valley! If you go, order a Dark and Stormy for me!

Spent Super Bowl Sunday at Sugar Mill, and it was the very best decision I've made in a long time…read more This place is most definitely "the little bar that could," with a great staff, fun and funny patrons, and an atmosphere that allows for both staunch fans and casual observers. Most people contribute to a pot luck feast that spans the wide world of food, from hot dogs and chili to baked ziti, tacos, meatballs, fried chicken, Chinese food, and on and on -- including some amazing homemade clam chowder from Mike The Mailman. Bartender Natalie did an amazing job of handling the busy crowd with speed and smiles. There were a couple of other staffers on site to watch the game, and they jumped in when she needed a hand with this or that, but for the most part Natalie captained the bar single-handedly for the duration. Kudos to her. It's true, Super Bowl only comes once a year, so other game days don't have the pot luck feast -- Sugar Mill doesn't have a kitchen, though they're happy to have you bring in whatever food you like and eat it there. Food aside, the crowd and the service are always just what you want, making it the perfect place to relax into at game time as Basketball enters the home stretch and baseball steps up to bat.

A special shoutout to Gonzo, the bartender, who made excellent mixed drinks and was incredibly friendly and personable. Javier, the manager, was attentive, welcoming, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. The food was outstanding thanks to Victor and Gus in the kitchen. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. If you're looking for a place with delicious food, expertly crafted cocktails, great service, and a fun atmosphere, I highly recommend stopping by. I'll definitely be back!

My co worker had a long drive back home so I offered we go get a drink to waste time and not sit in traffic on a Friday night. We walked over from where we work and I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in. They were playing great music, they have a pool table and they open up the front so you can see the interior of the bar from the sidewalk. The bartender knows how to make drinks!!! They were good. We ordered tater tots and the dipping sauces that came with it one being ketchup and the other one I am not sure what it was but it was great. I'm impressed with the bartender, there was a group of 7 people and they were getting hammered! LOL They had just done a round of shots and they were drinking something else. The bartender cut them off. I've never seen that before but I respect that. Good job for caring about them and not what they are spending on drinks. I'm def going back again!!! Cheers

They don't take reservations! The inside is decorated so fun! Lots of cool Mexican art as well as fresco paintings. It was packed at 5:30! Not a spot at the bar. It's small cozy and quaint while also being fun and festive. We got the table side guac, which was great, as well as two molcajetes for the table. They were the best I've ever had! We got some margaritas, both blended and regular. They had a good skinny marg. The beans and rice are FANTASTIC! (I always rate a Mexican place by their beans. If those are good, you know the rest will be good.) We had a really great time. The servers were extremely efficient. They move quickly. The place stays poppin' the whole night.

I ordered a chicken taco and it was very full (lots of chicken) the refried beans are good. Salsa was okay. My husband really liked it, the flavor was different, I didn't care for it. Save me from getting filled up . We did get guac made at the table - good. My sister ordered beef tacos but it came shredded and she didn't like them. She felt that was on her (that she didn't ask) so she didn't complain / can't give it an honest review. Like I said the atmosphere is great. It's very loud.

When we walked in, we had our ID checked by the security that was sitting in the front. I was feeling a little sick so I asked the barmen if it was possible for him to make hot toddy he definitely made it happen and it tasted pretty good. The atmosphere is very relaxed. They have a few games , pool table and karaoke nights. additional games available in the back almost like a private back patio.! They also have food pop-ups and we were told that their pizza pop-up is delicious so we will definitely come back to try it out

I'm genuinely confused by the positive reviews here; I can only imagine they're coming from people…read morewho attend specific events, because as a standard bar experience, this missed the mark completely. My husband and I stopped in on a Sunday for a quick drink before a movie, and the "vibe" was non-existent. They have four TVs at the bar, but the setup was bizarre, two were completely off and another was just frozen on a directory logo. The biggest issue, however, is the cleanliness--or lack thereof. The place is incredibly dirty. It feels like it hasn't had a deep clean in weeks, maybe longer. The bar top was disgusting, the floors were grimy, and even the woodwork looked like it hadn't seen a rag since opening day. They are charging $17 for "signature cocktails," which is bold for a spot that feels like a neglected dive bar. If you're going to charge premium prices, you have to at least wipe down the countertops. Service-wise, the bartender was friendly enough but low energy and minimal level of service. To make matters worse, a shift change happened while we were there, and the departing bartender made us close out our check and start a brand-new one with the next person. Why should the staff's administrative hand-off be the customer's issue? It's just unprofessional. The Valley has so many actual dive bars with character and plenty of high-end spots for a great cocktail; I'm not sure where this place is trying to fit in. It feels like someone bought it and just stopped caring. We won't be back.

This time was at the relaxing back patio upstairs. They have a big menu with a lot of good items. We decided on vodka pasta, charred octopus and beet salad as appetizers. For mains we had chef's special prime rib and whole branzino, also truffle fries as side. For desserts we had tiramisu and sorbet. They make very good Vesper martinis here, the mocktail I tried wasn't great though. The service was excellent and very fast. Keep in mind that the food is more of Middle East Mediterranean flavor than Mediterranean European flavor. This place has become our go-to restaurant whenever we are in this area!

The ambiance has always been very nice and classy and it was so nice and quiet as the restaurant was empty in the morning. Our waitress was very nice and helpful and the food came out quick. The breakfast burrito, Rancheros, and eggs Benedict all tasted really good. Highly suggest asking for the garlic aioli on the side!! The smashed potatoes that came with the breakfast items were also really well made. Although they charge for valet parking only, if you drive around the back side streets, you can always find a parking spot, you just need to walk a bit.
