What People Are Saying About Sugarmom's

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

In Short – Tucked into what would naturally be an apartment building's washroom, Sugar Mom's gives you plenty of places to steal away to. Dark lighting, low ceilings and multiple brick columns lend a dungeon-like feel to the club, but wanderers through these catacombs will be pleased to find juvenile treats awaiting them. Cheap, fun plastic toys are scattered throughout, as are pinball machines, a foosball table, old bumper cars and billiards.

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Bring money for the jukebox--it's one of the best in town.
What to Drink:
The taps are always changing with new imports and seasonal brews.

Beer only

by nycitychik21 at Citysearch

This bar has a nice trendy basement atmosphere with alot to do such as pinball and billiards, but no selection of drinks. It seemed like all they had was beer. I named about 5 fairly common drinks and they didn't have any of them. They didn't even have red bull.

Good music, games, and cheap beer

by kdub1281 at Citysearch

Tried this place on a whim while out in Old City and I loved it. The jukebox had some good tunes, they had some old school arcade games, and $1 16oz. PBRs from 7-11. A great place to go to just chill out and have some fun. The men's bathroom is also covered with pictures of Playboy and Penthouse girls, which is always a nice touch.

  • Pros: Cheap drinks, arcade games
  • Cons: You have to walk upstairs to go to the bathroom (not really too much of a con)

Funky underground bar with cheap drinks and chill mixed crowd

by smalltownguy1 at Citysearch

If you are looking to see and be seen, don't show up here, but if you want to hang out, play some tunes on the jukebox, and have a few strong drinks, this is the place for you. Loved the theme of play: pinball, carnival rides, etc. Friendly doorman and bartenders. Cheap drinks (e.g. $4 G & T).

  • Pros: Chill crowd. Great service and value. Funky decor.
  • Cons: Lack of rap stars and media moguls (just kidding)

Huh?

by phillyboi at Citysearch

Maybe I just don't get it, but I got rude service here and the food was typical bar food straight from the freezer to the fryer.

  • Pros: Inexpensive, Kinda Funky
  • Cons: , Rude Servers
