About Sugar

Sugar is Miami's premier rooftop cocktail bar perched on the 40th floor of the EAST Miami hotel in Brickell, offering one of the city's most breathtaking panoramic skyline views. Set atop a hand-carved Balinese bar surrounded by lush tropical greenery, this open-air oasis blends Asian-inspired elegance with Miami nightlife energy.

Guests sip bold original cocktails and share Asian-fusion plates — from sushi rolls to bang bang shrimp — while resident DJs spin sets that evolve from chill afternoon lounging into a full-on nightlife experience after dark. The venue enforces a smart-casual dress code by day and elevated nightlife attire after 6pm, with 21+ admission enforced in the evenings.

Ideal for sunset drinks, special occasions, or a memorable night out, Sugar draws a stylish mix of Brickell locals, hotel guests, and tourists who come for the views and stay for the cocktails. Reservations are strongly recommended, as this rooftop gem fills up fast.
