Sugar 44

Last visit: recently
So most of the strip clubs that we have visited were all part of a top ten list that was written in 2013. So yeah, a little outdated, but it was all we had to go on. Sugar 44 was on that list and like all clubs in today’s society, it has changed we are sure since that list came out and after the past few weeks… we basically stopped having expectations based off of that list. But this club was actually not bad at all. There was a random $ 8 a person door fee, which is not a bad price, just random. You walk in and instantly see the bar which is a full bar with what appeared to be two attractive female bartenders working hard. We aren’t sure who the door guy was, but he was a good guy; asked us about our night and we had just came from a horrible strip club that shall remain nameless, and we let him know we wanted to end our night on a good note. He assured us that we would. The club was small: one stage which wasn’t too big with a pole in the middle that was maybe 10 feet. Lots of seating for the most part around the stage area as well as seating at the bar. Then there were a few areas it seemed for VIP dances in a raised area to the right of the stage and in a private room towards the back of the club. We were mainly there to use the cash cannon on some ladies, so we did not get the private dance prices. The music was low, which isn’t really a negative thing at all; it was nice to not have to scream to each other, but it pretty much allowed everyone in the club to hear what we were saying. lol. The high lights of the night were most certainly Tasha and Heather. Tasha was just all around a go getter on the pole and on the stage in general. I believe we cash cannoned her with $ 100 just on general principle alone because her pole skills were quite possibly top five of all of the females we have ever seen. She will definitely be the reason we go back.

My friend was roofied here. At closing time, an enormous bouncer walked him around the corner and forced him to max out his ATM withdrawal limit to pay $ 380 in unspecified charges that «could only be paid in cash.» Sound fishy? Read on.
He was terribly, viciously sick for several days after this. He had flu-​like symptoms that were very unlike than any hangover. We found out later from one of his family members– who used to date a Sugar 44 employee– that the bar is known to roofie customers. We would have filed a police report except we were only visiting from out of state and he was too embarrassed to anyway.
I called the bar about the incident later on and they were– unsurprisingly– completely uncooperative. I suspect they’ve been ripping off patrons for a long time. AVOID this establishment at all costs.

They are trying.
I guess they’ve been under new management these past few weeks.
I went in and they had $ 3 canned beer specials which was awesome.
They have new quality beers on tap now.
I will return and update this review.
Talent is being worked on as well or so I’m told.
We’ll see…

While travelling to beautiful Phoenix, AZ on business, I stumbled into Sugar 44 after painful experiences at Bourbon St. Cabaret. Although Sugar was not as crowded and objectively ‚“cool” as Bourbon Street, the quality of dancers was unbelievable. That is all. For now.

Great place to hang out and have a drink. The bartender Adam was great, never had to wait for a drink, and the girls were all very nice and did not harass you every minute for a dance. Will be taking my friends here.

All the girls are nice, the bar staff rocks, small town bar feel, they aren’t pushy like most clubs, good place to chill and talk with beautiful women

Don’t ever go here. They viciously attacked a friend of mine all over a dispute of the $ 10 minimum charge. My friend had already paid the $ 10 minimum because everyone was planning on leaving so he cashed out. When deciding to stay, he ordered one final beer. When going to cash out they went to charge an additional $ 10. My friend told them he had already paid the $ 10 charge a little bit before. The bartender became defensive and asked if my friend was «trying to tell him how to run his bar». My friend said No, but that he would dispute it with his credit card company if they charged another $ 10. At this point the bartender punched my friend out of nowhere while his bouncer friends jumped on top of him, punching him, choking him, and kicking him in the ribs. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

First, the talent (the most important factor in any club):
Hot dancers who can hold a conversation as well as they do their, uh other skills. They tend to be long and lean (although there are plenty of curves as well), middling-​to-​heavily inked, very little plastic in evidence. They’re not pushy at all and actually help one another out — I tipped one, she missed it and left it on stage when the next girl came up, the second girl warned her instead of sniping it, and the first girl came by to thank me and apologize for missing it. That’s class right there.
Staff: Friendly, personable and competent. Unobtrusive DJ who plays a good mix, leaning toward heavier music. Volume is high enough to provide a good background without making you shout to be heard.
Prices: Entirely reasonable. Nobody’s going to try to rip you off or try to hard-​sell VIP.
Premises: Yeah, the place is small, especially the stage. I like it, personally.
I’m going with 4 stars instead of 5 only because when I arrived at 1930 on a Saturday, it was dead: two dancers, and one other customer who was nursing a drink at the bar. It picked up around 2230, so that’s OK.
Highly recommended.

This is the best strip club in town. The place is safe, no shady people, or gang looking guys hanging around, its clean, the staff is awesome. The girls rate at about an 8 or 9, but their really nice and genuine, and honest, which in my book makes them a 10.

…it was upon my cross-​country journey from Atlanta to San Diego that I chanced across this club, purely by luck and coincidence.
Originally that evening, I had gone to the Hi-​Liter club — which was a mistake. The place was so packed you couldn’t even find a seat. I left before the song playing was finished and set out for my next destination; thanks to it’s proximity, Sugar 44 was up to bat…
And they knocked it out of the park.
The club was refreshingly clean and wasn’t too small, but it wasn’t a cavern like Hi-​Liter. The girls were incredibly approachable, friendly and talkative; the ones up on the main stage didn’t seem to care if they were being watched or not, they genuinely appeared to enjoy dancing the pole. That was refreshing.
While I wasn’t too thrilled with the VIP area not having it’s own seperate room, I’ll admit it prevents some of the creepier moments that can happen in the VIP when it IS a room… and still let you have fun with your girl (or girls!) for half of what a lot of other clubs charge.
Nearly all the girls had real breasts, no boob jobs, and that was also a pleasantly refreshing thing… well, except for one girl whose tits were obviously fake, because the scar from the operation was disturbingly visible if you were looking.
Not holding it against her, but like Sir Mix-​a-​Lot said, «Silicon parts are made for TOYS». I like my women real; real personality, real tits, real fun.
The girls at Sugar 44 were all three of those.
The entire staff of Sugar 44 was not only highly professional, they were also incredibly friendly; it felt like I was in a nice little hometown bar that just happened to have really attractive strippers.
If I ever rode through Phoenix again, I would undoubtedly go back to Sugar 44, and I recommend if you’re ever in the area to check them out. You will NOT be disappointed… and if you honestly think this place is too expensive, you don’t need to be frequenting gentlemen’s clubs. You need to be making a better budget.

I’ve been here dozens of times, but this is my first review. I lived right down the street for years and was able to walk to and from, which was a plus. I moved a few miles southwest, but the attraction is still the same… great drink prices, sexy ladies, and a great overall experience every time I go there. I’ve been going there since it was Bombshells, and I’m glad they haven’t really changed the vibe. I will tell you that if you want Hustler model type models with fake boobs, go to Bourbon Street… if you want a small, intimate space with very attentive, alternative girls (ala Suicide Girls), then this is your place. The girls are awesome from that standpoint. Big fake boobs? No. Super approachable and tatted out? You betcha! And thats what I like, so thats while I will keep going here, and recommending this place to everyone as long as the dynamic remains consistent. Oh, and specials/​happy hours/​drink prices are very good!

well we’ve been here a few times and I haven’t reviewed the place
it’s in a decent easy to find location at the corner of 44^th street and thomas
Everyone is friendly at this club from the security to the dancers to the waitress
the cover charge is not too bad at $ 5
One thing I must mention is that this is itty bitty titty committee land
the girls do not have fake boobs or much on top at all
there are quite a few girls with nice asses though
and several of them can really work the pole
I’ll give a shot out to NINA who REALLY knows how to climb that pole and do acrobatics, she’s the best
The club is small compared to others in the Valley and that was initially a turn off for me but now I’ve come to appreciate being the only couple in the whole place
you really get alot of attention from the girls
also this is the only strip club with a girl who has actually turned my boyfriend on
he came away saying he was turned on and that is not common for him so KUDOS to Sugar 44

Too expensive.
$ 5 dollar beers, $ 15 access to VIP section, then $ 20 for a 2 minute lap dance. With her only sitting on me 3 times.
Over 4 years ago i went to a strip club near the airport (can’t remember the name of the club) and i got a close contact lap dance for 40 minutes for a total of $ 80 with tip. The woman had a C section scar but still looked good.
Can someone please tell me which strip club has better prices?

If you like low to mid range trashy girls than you will like this place. Go to Scottsdale and experience those strip clubs.

Formerly Bombshells cabaret, this newly remodeled club is beautiful. The
ladies were hot and very friendly. Great customer service and great location.
Went there for bachelor party and now a regular. Good prices and lots of
options.
