Sugar Room is a delightful bakery that combines the charm of a cute bakery with the allure of a hidden bar. As you step inside you are greeted by Maryellie, the lovely front of house, who will make it difficult to go past into the lounge without taking a pastry. Ive tried a few pastries but my favorite is the cupcake with a shot as a filling that she recommended! Once you get past the bakery, the bar has a broad selection of drinks and the DJ has good taste. Overall, a great experience!

I thought it was interesting that so many had something to say about dress code...we dropped in from volunteering at the Houston Food Bank and we were let in. We all had matching shirts, jeans or leggins and tennis. Vibe was nice. I will visit again.

It was a great time. The vibes were fun and very laid back but it did get kind of crowded after a while. The DJ had the vibes right for a Thursday night so I would suggest checking them out on The Weeknd! It s actually so cool that it s a bakery in the front and bar in the back! Plus it s close by a bunch of other bars so it great for a night of bar hopping! Honestly with the good drinks and great music it could easily be a one stop hop though. I d definitely recommend for anyone visiting Houston or trying to go out for a fun night on the weekend. I ll definitely be trying the sweet shop in there front next time, if I arrive a little earlier

They charge me 70$ for 2 drinks, a margarita and a shot of Don Julio. Then when I asked him about it he claimed he poured me a double when I didn t even ask for that. Like for real this what we doing at the Sugar Room!

The place was awesome and it had a great vibe. Me and my boyfriend got there late and stayed until close. The dj played a variety of great music and we were able to relax and get into the jams. We got our drinks on the house which was a real treat. And were told that they like our type. We definitely will be going back. (EVEN IF WE HAVE TO PAY FOR OUR DRINKS). Btw we didn t drink alcoholic drinks just Red Bull and Sprite. But the gesture was kind.

Place was cool but when they give you someone elses card back and give your card to someone else its a bit of an issue. Drove back down and all the bartender could say is no big deal just get a new card. No wow Im sorry or nothing. But hey this time they asked for my ID to prove and verify my identity to see if they had my card. Needless to say we wont be back and suggest you be sure you get your card back.

Yesterday was my birthday and I was feeling kind of sad but committed to going out. And had a BLAST! Jason the bartender made sure we had a good time. He was fun, personable, and very engaging. The specials were awesome. It was Tequila Tuesday so $20 premium tequila, we had 1942. And $8 cocktails. It was pretty empty because of the rain but it was still a vibe. 10/10 will be back and bringing more of my friends

The place is very nice inside. Spacious and good for date night, girls night, or just getting out. They also have a patio with a bar, loveseats, and chairs. When we arrived it was around 9pm and went directly to the bar for a cocktail. We left the tabs open. We found a section to set at on the patio. The waiter was extremely nice and attentive and offered to transfer our tab to her. What she did not tell us was that she was going to close us out at the bar and start a whole new tab with her. So when we closed out she brought all of us TWO BILLS WITH Automatic Gratuity Added to BOTH!! This was a disappointment for everyone and we felt like the waiter intentionally lied to us because transfer does not mean TWO CHECKS and paying automatic GRATUITY TWICE.

Cocktails 10/10 stars..... Service 10/10 stars... Decor 10/10.... Food 10/10 Absolutely beautiful interior....dark, moody, glowing candles, gorgeous, romantic....and then the ambience was ruined with horrible music. The decor gives off sexy, relaxed, cozy vibes....perfect for music like Sade, Thievery Corporation, cuban music, soft r&b, jazz, etc. But instead youll hear angry rap being blasted. It just doesnt match the soft ambience of the decor and moody lighting.

Great music selection. Weak hookah and be very mindful of the time you purchase hookah, they will sell until the very last minute and then not honor it. I m all for following the rules but the way we were treated by one specific server was beyond disrespectful. There was one bartender that was courteous and respectful. He saved the experience for us.

I ve been checking out all of the hidden speakeasy bars Houston has to offer and Sugar Room definitely makes that list. This upscale speakeasy is in the heart of Houston s popular bar scene on Washington Ave. Their mixologist makes some of the cities best handcrafted cocktails with an extensive selection of wine also. The patio bar is comfy and has heaters for the winter. There is room to dance, decks of Uno cards and Jenga set up at a few tables. The crowd is diverse and the vibes are great. The Dj was amazing and played a range of music he mixed from House, R&B, Afro Beats, Hip Hop, and EDM. You d be lucky to find parking in the front. Behind the building go is usually $20 to park. I highly recommend catching an Uber to Washington Ave if you re going to enjoy multiple bars to avoid the parking situation and be able to ride home carefree after drinking. Parking: The parking is frustrating. I only wish they had valet. If you drive you will pay $20 to park behind the building or park at your own risk in the front.

I got a good ol Jameson x ginger ale which was great as always. The music was solid! I even conversed with a couple that I met while there because we shared a sitting area. I would definitely come again.

Atmosphere 6.5/10 Cool concept of a bakery at the entrance with a secret door leading to the lounge. Lounge area is rather dark - but stylish and spacious. Good for bigger groups! They already have Halloween decor up Felt a bit too empty on Th at 9pm I would have preferred HipHop/Rap music and not EDM. This is Washington and not Westheimer :-) Service 8.5/10 Our bartender was nice and knowledgeable. We were informed that Th night is Ladies night and some drinks are $5 cheaper Drinks 7/10 Old fashioned and rose cocktail. Both were decent, but again, nothing stood out Price 10/10 $10-15 for a drink is a good price in Houston - doesn t get much better Overall cool spot for a date or group of friends when you are close to Washington ave

If i could give a 0 i would. I would not support this business ever. Male friend denied for wearing shorts. I go inside to check it out, several groups of white boys with khaki shorts and sneakers are in there. They pick and choose who goes in and blame your attire. Prejudice is what this place is. They are the new Gaslamp. and we all know what happened to that bar. I would not support this place if your thinking about going.

This place had the audacity to turn away a party of people dressed to the nines. A friend wore a well put together going out look and was turned away over designer quality jogger dress pants. Can we talk about the bouncer who was dressed like Allen from the Hangover? He had on cargo pants, a t-shirt and appeared to have rolled out of bed. Not a place to be taken seriously given that they leave people with no style in charge of an inconsistent dress code based on how they FEEL (in the moment) verses HOW WELL one is dressed. The radar on dress code differences between the rolled out of bed look and the model off duty look is trash. Make it make sense.

His expert mixology skills and friendly personality elevated the entire evening. The craft cocktails were not only delicious but also beautifully presented.

The vibe and atmosphere are great but the prices are ridiculous . I ve never ever been charged for an ice cube! Yep, a typical square ice cube in an old fashioned was an extra charge of almost $2. Whaaaaaat??! Also beware of their cocktail menus with no prices - $25 for an average tequila cocktail . Have been to this place multiple times and have brought groups of friends but won t be back. Just left feeling taken advantage of price wise and left a bad taste in my mouth.

The cocktails have enough alcohol than many other places; But the purpose here is to sit and mingle, listen to music and enjoy the candy or cookies you bought in advance. The bartenders are quick and efficient with the drinks. Really clean furniture and feel. clean

I wouldnt recommend anyone to this place. We gad a group of 4 people and 1 was a girl wearing a small sweater that had no words or inappropriate gestures it was blank and wouldnt let us in. Guess my money isnt good enough for this place. By the way i looked at tags on instagram for this place and saw numerous people with sweaters and long sleeve jackets/blazers so it was pretty much being prejudice against our group that we didnt look the part to come in. The bouncer needs to learn manners. This place has horrible reviews and this is what youve earned.

Had the absolute WORST time here! Now it is Houston on a Friday night so I understand being busy but this place was so packed out that even with a section, random people were sitting everywhere so be ready to make new friends I guess. It took a ridiculous amount of time to get to the bar, mostly because of rude people pushing and elbowing in an attempt to be acknowledged by the bartender. It then took forever to receive the drinks, so long that I ordered 2 more to avoid having to go back anytime soon. My husband placed his full (untouched) drink on the table beside him to take a photo and the glass was taken immediately. When we informed the manager, I was basically called a liar and she then turned away and began to ignore us. My husband tried asking her name to which she replied fuck no . When I tell you I have NEVER been treated that way! We left immediately!!! Whoever that manager was, she absolutely does not belong in the service industry AT ALL!!! Don t spend your money or time on this place. It s not even remotely worth it!

Speakeasy with cool vibes, loved the throwback tune mixes, and friendly staff/bartenders. The bakery front is great too - the macaroons were tasty. FYI that there are No vegan options. The only con(and docking of 1 star) is to be prepared for some lack of transparency of drink pricing. The cocktails menu will note all drinks as $15, but if you order the Hef, be prepared to fork 20+, likely due to Hennessy. Menu should be updated to reflect the price for that particular drink, but besides that, definitely worth a visit!

This is a pretty cool chill spot. I love the concept of entering a sweet shop that leads to a lounge in the back. I was greeted upon arrival and the door was held open for me to enter. The music was nice. Mostly, R&B and Rap. The bartender was cool. The drinks are pricey but taste good. However, not much alcohol in the mixed drinks. There definitely should be more alcohol in the drinks for the price point. The macroons in the sweet shop are tasty and fresh. I love the decor and ambiance. There is inside and outside seating. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here.

Love love love to speak easy feel of this ice cream store / event space. Super cool and fun space to have an event at. I was able to attend a VIP dinner that the doll foundation hosted. They had a private chef make paella in the outdoor balcony area and it was outstanding... Beautiful plush seating, lots of places to take pictures, a great long bar for a conversations. Lots of great memories from this night at the sugar room and looking forward to attending more events here.

Racist establishment. Similar to other comments we got kicked out for standing by the couches with the claim that they are sections when no one in these sections complained about it. The irony is there were other non-black people who were doing the same but they were left alone. It is especially embarrassing coz the manger and bouncer who kicked us our were both black.

Meh. Good but expensive drinks for what they are. Charged me $6+ for a water after I had already closed my tab. They just brought us a Fiji water and booked a surprise second charge on my credit card. Not the best place, not the worst. Worth checking out once maybe.

1 is too much, it should be 0 stars. My friends and I experienced a terrible experience that was very unprofessional and disrespectful. I went with 2 of my friends to party in sugar room on Saturday night (10/29). As we were inside, the security guard pointed at the area were standing in and asked my friend to not stand in this area for no reason, but anyways she complied and moved us to another area. The area he mentioned was directly to the left of the entrance door, next to the couch. Mind you, we always stand and dance in that area without bothering anyone. However, the place was overcrowded, therefore we kept getting pushed and eventually we got pushed back to the same area. This time, he came up to me and asked me once again not to stand there because I am blocking the entrance and he asked me to stand in the corner. Please keep in mind that we were not blocking anyones movement, every single person was passing by normally without any hassle; the place was just overcrowded. But anyways, I complied (because we didnt want any trouble and I thought this would be for the best) and stood in the corner the security guard pointed at and continued dancing with my partner. I did not move from that corner and despite that, around 5 minutes later, I see the security guard ushering my friends and myself out of the place; he kicked us out and asked the bouncer not to let us back in again. This was highly disrespectful and to be honest we were all disgusted from this experience. We did not bother anyone, we complied to his commands, and just to note, none of us was drinking and despite all that, we got kicked out for absolutely no clear reason. The issue is not about which area we should/should not stand in, the issue is about the way this was dealt with; absolutely shameful for this place. It used to be my go to, however I will never go again, my friends included. Not recommended at all Thank you

I have an ankle injury, but I took a pair of heels in hand for pics, etc. When my ID was checked the doorman asked jokingly if my feet were tired from the night already, I said no I have an ankle injury, he said ah ok. He was cool about it. When i was at the bar ordering my drinks a different employee came up to me with a flashlight and told me to put my shoes on. I told him I have shoes on and pointed to my sandals. I thought maybe because theyre black he cant see them in the dark. But no, he said he sees that I have on shoes, but I cant wear them. He said I have to put my heels on i told him I cant because have an injury and I only put them on while Im sitting down. He repeated himself as if i had no shoes on. I finally put my heels on because it was my friends bday, not trying to mess up her night, and I had to go out to get her. I sat on a lounge chair and meanwhile saw a total of 6 other women walk in that were also wearing sandals. Not fancy sandals with straps. They had no back straps just like mine. These people really are asking for a lawsuit. That was Saturday 10/22. I ended up going to the Dr today on Monday10/24 and now have a mini cast on.

Free entry! Great Speakeasy spot! Small ice cream store in the front with a bar room in the back. The music was good, primarily hip hop at the time. There is a hookah bar out back as well. The drinks are a bit pricy at about $16.00 dollars each for the individual ones, however they are very well made and taste great. There are bottles you can purchase that range in the hundreds. Most of the seating areas can be reserved for parties, however they are usually open if you arrive early enough. I got an alcoholic espresso that was very smooth, sweet, and creamy, with crunchy coffee beans floating around. Overall fun spot to hang around and great environment!

Horrible customer service. Horrible management. Horrible bouncers. Abusive and racist atmosphere. There are are a bunch of other cocktail lounges in Houston that actually know how to treat their customers. Go there instead. Save your money.

I was there tonight. The bartender did not hear my order correctly. When I proceeded to tell her the correct order, she decided to snatch the card from my hand and charge me for the incorrect order. I have NEVER been treated like that at an establishment. Not only that, afterwards she decided to ignore me. I walked to the front of the business and told the police officers. They directed me to the staff. Afterwards a manager came out, tried to blame me for charges that were not mine. After explaining to her that I did not order those drinks she disappeared. One of her staff members asked why I was standing in front. I explained I was waiting for the manager to return my debit card with the comped charge. We had to go find her. When we did she did NOT have my debit card but another employee did whom we had to search for. The unprofessionalism that I experienced tonight is beyond the legality of precedents in how to deal with the situation. My debit card was forcefully taken from my hand and I was forced to pay for a drink I did not order for my friends and myself. My debit card was passes around as if my personal information did not matter. This issue must be addressed immediately!

Very racist establishment! You may as well have a sign that says Whites Only!!! I went in and was completely ignored as I sat alone and had nobody to attend to me. Mind you!! I was sitting there for 35 minutes and had a nice suit on!!!! I am a six figure salary a year earner..I probably make more than most of the customers in there that were probably paying with credit cards!!! I was ready to actually bless a server with a 500 dollar tip! I guess because Im Hispanic, they must have thought I wasnt worth* serving so quick. What a horrible horrible place! Screw your business!!!!

Had a really great time here even on a Tuesday which was very unexpected. I love a cocktail bar especially a speak easy one. This one has a great theme being hidden in a candy store. The walk in was definitely. I mean outside of the doormen out front really sell the theme. Going thru hidden doors until you walk into the real bar is a fun experience. Once inside it does just become your basic cocktail bar but the lightning and the dj music really helps the atmosphere. The only downside is their signature cocktails are super sweet but I couldnt really complain when its called the sugar room. Will definitely just order regular drinks next Im there. And I really want to see what the weekend is like.

If youre going to put automatic gratuity on your checks: 1) Have it listed somewhere on a menu or the website or the front door. 2) Dont expect anything else. 3) Find a different business to get into. 4) Pay your staff more than $2.13/hr and simply raise your drink prices.

My husband and I went for date night and we had such a good time! The vibe was there the music was hot. I have one issue and unfortunately we will not return because of this The bartender, was a very nice lady and gave good recommendations. However, she was so unsanitary! She was putting ice in glasses with her bare hands and touching all over the garnish all while handling customer payments. (When was the last time you sanitized your credit card?) I was disgusted! We ended up getting a bottle to pour our own drinks. I recommend you do the same if you go. *Instagram @luxlivinglux

They have nothing about a dress code on their website, but I was told they are really cracking down on distressed jeans and I could not go in. I ve attached a photo of my outfit. It was my birthday which made me feel great. I also watched them let children in. So this place is great if you re under aged but not if you have distressed jeans.
