Located in the heart of Harlem, around the corner from the legendary Apollo Theater, Sugar Monk is a cocktail bar that pays homage to the uptown speakeasies of Harlem's past. Our drinks are made with the freshest ingredients, the finest spirits, and an array of house-made artisanal Amari, liqueurs, bitters, infusions, and extracts, all beautifully presented. We offer a selection of New & Old World wines, an assortment of premium spirits, craft beers and a curated menu of small savory dishes and desserts. Your hosts are Ektoras Binikos, an accomplished mixologist and visual artist, and Simon Jutras, a photographer and designer. Their collaboration started with a shared desire to revive the tradition of the Harlem speakeasy as a place for creative escape.
