Sugar

"Next to Big Lots?!"

My friends were so confused when we pulled up to Sugar in the middle of this shopping plaza. I mean.. it's between IZOD and Big Lots.. we probably would never have noticed it if it weren't for the five buff dudes in skin-tight black shirts manning the velvet rope outside. When we first walked up, they initially told us since we weren't on the guest list, it would be $10 each. Luckily, we said we're from out of town (and that's the damn truth), so they let my two lady friends and myself in without any hassle.

We arrived at around 11:30 and this place was empty besides the one dude on the dance floor breakdancing to an 80's jam. Interesting. So we decided to start off with three shots of Patron! That was the only thing to do at that point, right? It came out to $36. We followed those up pretty quickly with three Long Islands which also amounted to $36. Soon after that the DJ started playing more hip-hop and top 40, so more people hit the dance floor.

After midnight, it definitely started to pick up! Then I'm not sure what prompted the change in music, but it was all Latin American music for a good half hour again. Then it was back to top 40! Sugar definitely draws an interesting crowd. I'm not even going to explain because it's best to see for yourself!

For what it is and its location, Sugar is alright. When you step inside, you feel like you're in a nice lounge/nightclub, so it gets points for that. It's a decent option if you don't want to go all the way to the city!

A lot of fun, great food and awesome crowd! It was nice to get dressed up somewhere and not have to go into Manhattan for dancing. We all had a blast!
