The Sugar House is a bar that focuses on old fashioned drinks.  They have an extensive drink list.  G ordered a Maker's Mark on the rocks with a twist.  The server convinced him to try a different whiskey.  However, I can't remember what it was.

Anyway, I chose the same with water.  He brought mine with a small vial of water to add to it as desired, which I actually appreciated.

For food, we had an order of truffle popcorn, which was $2.  It was fine.  The menu says that it has truffle oil and is lightly salted.  We also had an order of peanuts for $1, which are from Detroit's Germack Company.  Then for $15 we had the charcuterie and cheese plate.  It came with three types of cheese.  All of which were hard parmesan types.  It would have been nice to have a soft cheese.  Then it came with two types of meat (a ham and a salami).  There were crackers and toast points with a stone ground mustard, some pickled onions, and some jam.

I have visited this place several times and I have always enjoyed the drinks.  The food is good, too.
The decor also has some heads from various animals.
