4. Sip on Sweetness: Sweet and Vicious

NoLita, NYC

Sweet and Vicious is all sweet and not at all vicious. The interior has exposed brick walls, wooden beams, and large windows that let in plenty of natural light during the day. As the sun goes down, the space transforms into a warm, inviting environment with dim lighting and an upbeat energy. While they offer a wide range of drinks, Sweet and Vicious is best known for its Frozen Margarita, served in a mason jar. This refreshing, boozy slushie has become a staple for patrons looking to cool off and unwind. Along with the Frozen Margarita, the bar offers a wide selection of craft beers, wines, and creative cocktails to suit various tastes.


This venue offers two options for private events: buyout of the airy back patio or renting out the entire bar. Unlike most spaces that have a maximum level of capacity, Sweet and Vicious requires a minimum of 100 guests regardless of which private event option you select. This is ideal if you are having a joint birthday with friends or plan to throw a large party.
