We say:

Not to be missed…. this is one of our favorite Graham stop bars. Reasonable drink prices, a friendly staff and lovely red velvet wallpaper that gives the place a shadowy French noir feel. Plus, it’s always very dark for those of you who want to pretend you’re in an Amsterdam hash den. Their specialties are sweet, yummy cocktails like the blackberry bramble. Also, Sweet Ups always has a new themed “night” corresponding with popular tv shows which we think is quite crafty of them.

NY Mag says:

Williamsburg’s Sweet Ups seems like a typical cozy neighborhood joint: red-velvet walls, Karaoke Tuesdays, and low-key, indie-rock regulars who seem old enough to be living in Manhattan but, for the sake of their art, still reside a few stops in on the L train. But the bar’s precious secret is its drink menu (scrawled out in a notebook with amusing illustrations) which features unusual cocktails-like an old-fashioned sake stinger with Israeli mint-all for around $6. They plan to publish the past year’s worth of recipes as a book.
