It’s one of those little jewels you come across every now and then. Slightly off the beaten track, you walk in the door and immediately think, wow, why have I never been here before?

Sugar Bar is small enough to be intimate, big enough to have live music and perfectly sized to enjoy the warmth inside or the night sky outside.

Service is fantastic, the barmen know their stuff, and are happy to talk you through the wine or cocktail list.
The pizzas are fantastic, everyone is friendly, it’s amazing who you end up talking to and always come away feeling like a valued customer.

I too want to keep this my little secret, but Sugar Bar deserves the accolades and publicity. Looking forward to my next visit!

Sometimes you hear and feel that you are in Cheers, in a bar, where everyone knows your name and the service is great, the drinks are great and you ACTUALLY meet people who end up being your friends.

I started coming here a while back and I’ve been slack at writing a review mainly because when you love a place you loathe it becoming TOO popular.

For those of you out there who are tired of the “pumpy” music, the less than average service and bartenders who have no idea how to make a cocktail then this is the place for you.

Good times, good drinks, good people and as I go overseas I’m going to miss this place SOOO much (plus they are very good at calling dial a driver for you and making sure you’re ok as I said. Cheers!!!)

I’m leaving – come check this place out – trust me you’ll never want to go anywhere else in Newmarket.

Would not recommend this place if you are picky.
If you are already drunk and happy- may be good.
Nice atmosphere (live music) but they obviously did not remember about my booking(after the email, phone call and voice message) and had to pull “table” away from other guest to organise some sitting for us.Also menu is nothing like what is on the website. Floor & toilet was shockingly messy. Toilet did not have hand dryer or paper towels.
It was my Birthday and I wish I have chosen different place.

Sorry for your bad time ‘aliz’, but are you sure you were at Sugar Bar and not another bar nearby by mistake? The reason I ask is because I don’t understand your review at all. My points being: 1) we don’t take reservations in the first place as we are small and…    More »

If you’re looking for a bar that is sex on high heels this is it! The twinkling candles and dark corners create an uber sexy atmosphere that just makes you want to linger longer. The wine list is comprehensive but the drink of choice has to be a cocktail – too many to choose from but Jess can always suggest the right mix to tickle your taste buds (oh that Lemon Meringue!). This is the place for big girls and boys RnR

I found this little jewel of a bar after a hard days shopping in Newmarket.
Tucked away on one of the back streets near Teed St it was exactly what the
doctor ordered. Excellent wine and bubbles selection and after having a
couple, I then ordered a cheese platter. Wow! A large plate of fantastic
cheeses and meats with fresh sourdough beard. More than enough for my friend
and I. The staff were exceptional. Very knowledgeable and helpful and we
never had to get our of our seats to order more wine. Even the water was
continuously topped up. When we went to pay, they came to us and did it with
a wireless eftpos unit. This is a very smart and classy place. It reminds me
of some of the places you find in New York. I have been back numerous times
now and each time it is superb. Nothing beats sitting by the small fireplace
and listening to live jazz drinking excellent syrah!!! I 100% recommend this
place.

this is an intimate chill lounge that has awesome music and fantastic staff and a wine list that will knock your socks off, perfect for a first date or casual after work wind down… the place is decked out like a trend magazine layout. I went for a private function for a friends hen night and i went back the following weekend before a movie at the Rialto and its fast becoming my favorite place for a relaxing drink.
