Profile

Williamsburg's Sweet Ups seems like a typical cozy neighborhood joint: red-velvet walls and low-key, indie-rock regulars who seem old enough to be living in Manhattan but, for the sake of their art, still reside a few stops in on the L train. But the bar's precious secret is its drink menu, which features unusual cocktails.

Really, this place is horrible. I've never been treated so poorly by a bartender in my life. Completely ruined me and my friend's night. What you can expect at Sweet Ups is mean, condescending attitude and watery, overpriced drinks. That's it. With so many excellent bars in the neighborhood, I would strongly urge you to look elsewhere... anywhere.

Don't go to this bar

The owner hired me to host his Bingo night. I arrived at the appointed time. He arrived 20 minutes after that and told me that he decided to hire someone else THE PREVIOUS WEEK. He then told me that he forgot to call me. No kidding. The decor is blah: cheap furniture and poor lighting. The Sweet Ups house brand beer tastes like Natural Light. The exterior looks like a strip mall. Brooklyn is big. There's gotta be something better.
