restaurant group in the country to have earned its own USDA certification.
Part of a $164 million expansion at SugarHouse, Hugo’s Frog Bar will feature an extensive menu that includes USDA Gibsons Prime Angus beef,which is aged for 50 days and cooked in an 1,800-degree infrared broiler, giving the steak a thin, charred crust to help seal in the natural juices. It also will serve the exclusive “Philly Cut,” a 12-ounce rib eye cap, topped with smoked provolone, crispy shallots and fried herbs. Combined seat- ing in its bar and dining rooms will accommodate approximately 300 guests.
Gibsons Restaurant Group also will serve as the exclusive caterer for the casino’s new, second-floor multipurpose event space, The Event Center at SugarHouse Casino. This 30,000-square foot addition, with its floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views of the riverfront and the Ben Franklin Bridge, will include an outdoor balcony and will feature GRG's entire menu.
The elegant space will be tailor made for corporate events,wedding receptions and black-tie galas - with free parking for all attendees. Offering accessibility for all ages, guests can enter The Event Center directly from the new SugarHouse free parking garage. Alternatively, SugarHouse also provides free valet parking.
According to SugarHouse generalmanag- er, Wendy Hamilton, “At SugarHouse, we offer something for everyone, giving us an advantage over traditional venues. Amenities are the key to our expansion, which features seven new food and bev- erage outlets, including fine dining at Hugo’s Frog Bar and Chop House. Our flexibility allows us to meet the needs of all our groups and guests, and the com- plete SugarHouse gaming experience is something you can’t find anywhere else in Philadelphia.”
SugarHouse has a team in place to work with event planners, assisting in coordi- nating meals and events at any of the property’s restaurants. Once opened,
Hugo’s will feature a private dining room that will be ideal for private or semi- private parties. SugarHouse team mem- bers also can assist in selecting hotels, coordinating roomblocks,as well as facil- itating gaming experiences for attendees that take timing into consideration, along with possible incentive and promotional deals.
The new Event Center can be configured into any number of meeting spaces for business functions. From trade shows and seminars to smaller classroom settings, the 10,000-square foot event space has a lot of functionality and includes a private board room. The ability to divide The Event Center into smaller, more intimate sections makes it the ideal for both large and small groups, as well.
