Sugar Monk

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Harlem, just around the corner from the iconic Apollo Theater, Sugar Monk is a cocktail bar that pays tribute to the historic speakeasies that once thrived in the neighborhood. Their cocktails are crafted with the freshest ingredients and premium spirits, complemented by an assortment of artisanal Amari, liqueurs, bitters, infusions, and extracts, all created in a micro-distillery in Brooklyn under the brand name ATHERAS SPIRITS and elegantly presented for guest’s enjoyment. Sugar Monk is proud to collaborate with renowned forager Tama Matsuoka Wong, who provides them with wild plants, roots, fruits, and flowers—often overlooked yet bursting with flavor—allowing them to create drinks that reconnect patrons with the essence of the natural world. In addition to their signature cocktails, Sugar Monk offers a carefully curated selection of New and Old-World wines, a range of top-shelf spirits, craft beers, and a menu featuring delightful small plates and desserts. At Sugar Monk, the mission is to be an integral part of the diverse Harlem community and to contribute to its rich cultural tapestry. While they welcome patrons from all walks of life, Sugar Monk takes pride in their role as a neighborhood hub, actively engaging with local leaders and organizations.
