Las Vegas-based Sugar Factory makes sweet debut at Westgate in Glendale

🍨🍬🥤🍪🍹 Las Vegas-based Sugar Factory – a celebrity-favorite restaurant, bar, ice cream bar, and candy store – has made its Arizona debut at Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale.

The space: With 9,400 square feet indoor and 1,275 outdoor, the restaurant has a 128-seat main dining area, a pink private dining room, a bar area, and an outdoor seating for 40 adjacent to the walk-up ice cream bar.

  • Reservations are strongly recommended.

The food: An expansive menu covers a lot of ground – burgers, sandwiches, tacos, steaks, pasta, sushi, stir fry, and more – including many over-the-top items like a 24K Gold Burger for $150.

The drinks: For adults, there are fish-bowl-sized cocktails designed by celebrities like Pitbull, Nick Jonas, 50 Cent, Bruno Mars, and Kevin Hart.

  • For kids (or adults with a sweet tooth), there are 20-plus specialty milkshakes, plus sundaes and waffles. (Pictured: Cookie Monster milkshake.)

The candy: Sugar Factory’s signature draw is its candy dot wall. There’s also a candy heart lounge and a candy store.

Did you know: Food & Wine Magazine calls Sugar Factory ‘‘the most Instagrammed restaurant in the United States.’’
