Editorial Review for Sweet Ups – by Karen Hudes
The Scene
Perpetually dim lighting, glossy bar stools and banquettes popping against the deep-red velvet-flocked walls, lend a cleanly retro look with an of-the-moment polish. Casually sexy, the Williamsburg bar is a natural for the couples and groups who have become regulars. Decorative photos of the parents of people who helped open the bar (taken in their 20s and 30s), add a witty, soulful touch.
The Draw
Owner Benjamin Shih has built a loyal following as a neighborhood bartender, and his flavorful drinks are part of the reason why. Cocktails such as the pomegranate margarita and berry-flavored gin Bramble, topped with raspberries and other seasonal garnishes, win fans. Shih usually has a special based on fresh ingredients of the day, so be sure to ask what's on tap.

I've been coming here for years and I always have a great time. Atmosphere is chill and it's just a really great looking bar. The cozy booths and candle lit tables make this an ideal spot to enjoy a romantic moment and sip a cocktail (Pomegranate Margarita) with your sweetie.
Pros: Nice atmosphere, nice bartenders

Just moved into the neighborhood recently and poped in this bar for a drink. The bartender was really friendly and the people hanging out at the bar were cool too. We all got along and it made me feel right at home. Met other musicians, made some new friends in the neighborhood which is really cool. They had a bbq out back - can't beat that!
Pros: cool people, great music, friendly staff
