An idiom. It would normally be used as an adjective in a sentence.
It is also the name for a type of Nightshade plant (solanum dulcamara) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_dulcamara
which would be using it as a noun.

The whole thing is an adjective: like "bitter sweet memory"! Bitter, is adverb, qualifying the adjective, sweet!

A phrase with two seeming opposite is called an "oxymoron." (It has nothing to do with intelligence). If you type "oxymorons" into the search bar, you'll have a lot of fun.
