Las Vegas-based Sugar Factory, a celebrity-favored restaurant, bar, ice cream bar, and candy store, will make its Arizona debut May 1 at Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale.
A huge menu features lots of savory items – burgers, sandwiches, tacos, pasta, steaks, and more – including several over-the-top items like a 24K Gold Burger for $150.
The menu also offers fish-bowl-sized cocktails designed by celebrities like Pitbull, Nick Jonas, 50 Cent, Bruno Mars, and Kevin Hart.
The biggest draw, however, are the sweets, including Sugar Factory’s signature candy wall, candy heart lounge, and candy store. (Pictured: Cookie Monster milkshake.)
Food & Wine Magazine calls Sugar Factory ‘‘the most Instagrammed restaurant in the United States.’’
The Westgate location will be Sugar Factory’s 23rd in the U.S. along with five overseas.
