The Sugarloaf Bar

Sugarloaf bar is one of my favourite bars in Birmingham and even it is party of Bodega’s facility it is a completely different space. The wonderful Latin American vibe helps a lot! Nice music and wicked cocktails help a lot, but there is something really unique about this bar: people who frequent it. Quality one!
The décor is wicked. Mexican theme and even the toilet in this place has its feature. The Sugarloaf bar is a place to go with friends when you want to re-​energise yourself and I have tried caipirinhas there and it’s well nice!
After a nice meal at Bodega itself, go downstairs and enjoy the truly vibe of a Latin American bar in Birmingham.

This place is downstairs from Bodega and is opened up on weekend afternoons.
Bodega is rammed all the time, the guys making silly money up there so when things get a little crazy on a weekend he opens up this extra part of it (with its own bar and food menu) to earn even more money.
I hate the seats so much, they have very high seats on stools or even low seats on sofas, I’m really tall and i struggle with both I swing around on the stools and often fall off, and my legs are basically behind my head on the sofas.
But the reason people come down here is to stand up and dance, the music stays authentic, as do the cocktails. Alto of the people i know who come down here use it as a prefer ed preshrinking area before a big weekend night out.
Not a bad little area just wish they would fix the seats.

The Sugarloaf Bar is situated underneath Birmingham’s popular South American cantina; Bodega.
Many people may not have noticed Sugarloaf as it is only open Thurs-​Sat from 5pm and like me, if you go to get a table upstairs and it’s fully booked (it usually is) you might just skulk off somewhere else… *sad face*
Sugarloaf is a dimly lit (in the best possible way) basement bar with great decorative features like brightly painted walls with mexican wrestling mask inspired lanterns and sugar skull artwork. Bare bricks, vintage chandeliers and comfily upholstered, low bench seating make this a trendy and comfortable place to while away a few hours. Although you can’t get the full range of Bodega’s amazing food and cocktails, there are bar snacks and cocktails aplenty in this great after-​work haunt.
I can recommend the Batatas Fritas (V) £3.25 (sweet potato fries with sour cream), Frijoles (V) £2.75 (double cooked black beans with crumbled cheese, rice and cream) and the Raspberry Caipirinha £5.00 (Cachaca with fresh raspberries, raspberry liqueur, fresh limes and sugar). Beef Burritos are a firm favourite too although they are better from upstairs with all the trimmings.
Sugarloaf is available for free private hire (subject to a minimum spend) and can accomodate up to 80 people. Please contact the bar to discuss your requirements.
