This joint had been on my Yelp bookmark list for a while. I am not 100% sure how it got there, but I am 100% glad I tried it out! The space has charm without being pretentious. And the bartenders are cute to boot. The Charrmane's Star was one of the best vodka cocktails I've ever had. It had a wonderful sweetness, and I could taste summer around the corner. The Gingerita was also really nice and ginger-spicy. Had to dock a star because table-side service suddenly disappeared, and we had to go out of our way to get our second round and the check. Nonetheless, I'd definitely recommend this spot. read more

Bartenders are super nice and make their drinks with LOVE! Shout out to Jose especially for his amazing margaritas. read more

I love it when I stumble across a happy surprise! While I was in New York I was yelping like crazy to find great eats and spots. We had hit the jackpot on this one random weekday. The decor in the bar was designed very well and had a great feel to it. It's odd because this bar is surrounded by less classy bars. The owners of the bar were so warm and welcoming. Both of them were so attentive to us. They did some tricks and gave us free drinks. They entertained us well for the evening. I had such a great impression from their hospitality that I would definitely go back again. Even the security guard was so friendly. He even came for a bit to have a chat with us. read more

Fun wine, cocktail, and oyster bar. It is very small but has a good, intimate vibe. There is a cute little back courtyard with couches & such. They have a good wine happy hour and excellent service. Definitely a good week-night drink place to unwind after work with a glass of wine. read more

Yay, fun place -- strong/unique cocktails and super friendly bartenders. I asked the bartender to make me his favorite gin-based drink -- grapefruit, hint of agave nectar, ginger and gin. AMAZING. ( ~$12) The only downside could be potentially little seating here, other than that, would be a great place for a casually intimate date on a weekday. read more

This is a fantastic bar in Alphabet City, but even a more fantastic happy hour - daily from 5-8 pm. Grab buffalo chicken sliders or delicious pulled pork while you drink! And for those who prefer not to drink alcohol, check out the crafted mocktails! read more

Convenient location in east village/alphabet city. Atmosphere is quaint and cozy. Nice for catching up with friends or grabbing a drink for a date. They have a special holiday cocktail that is great and has warm cider in it. Their other cocktails are pretty tasty as well. Price is about $12 per specialty cocktail and $10 for house cocktails. Went on a Tuesday night and wasn't crowded. read more

The Summit bar was such a nice experience for happy hour on a Thursday - $6 and $7 select cocktails and wines, $4 beers, and oyster specials everyday! Can't speak for the oysters as I'm not a fan, but the cocktails my boyfriend and I had were mixed well and made with quality ingredients! We had the Charmane's Star, a cinnamon-infused cucumber cocktail, and the classic Old Fashioned (pictured below), and the Dark & Stormy. The flavor combinations in the Charmane's star were unique and subtle - recommend! The Dark and Stormy was delicious and almost tasted like a cream soda. The homemade ginger agave made for an interesting, refreshing twist. As for the atmosphere, this place isn't pretentious yet classy; featuring lots of natural light, chandeliers, exposed brick and two bars - one in front, one in the back. Perfect for catching up with a friend or a low-key date. The music selection was great too - cozy jazz The surrounding neighborhood is nothing to brag about, but it's absolutely worth the walk if you're around! Will be back to try their popular "The Last Cocktail" drink :) read more

The Summit Bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

More than eighty check-ins. I've been coming to The Summit for years, bringing friends and making new ones. When I have a visitor from out of town and want to go to one bar, it's The Summit. It's a bar that works for me on many levels. As I've said in previous reviews, it is congenial and patronized by some of the nicest people around. The drinks are consistently high quality and delicious. Some are so good, you wind up drinking them too fast. Many cocktail recipes at The Summit were developed by Greg Seider, and are very different than those found in most cocktail bars. Many are made with agave instead of simple syrup. To the extent that it may matter to you, agave has a lower glycemic index than cane sugar, and is marginally healthier in terms of metabolic and cardiac effects. Some drinks have agave infused with cardamom, cinnamon or rosemary. juices are freshly pressed and some drinks have ground clove or cardamom sprinkled on top along with a garnish of fruit or vegetable. My favorites are The Last Cocktail, The Charmaine Star and The Guv'nor. Happy hour cocktails are $7 (5:30-7:30 weekdays, 4:30-7:30 weekends). Raw bar is half price. I come here for the healthy bar food: tuna tartar on avocado in soy and mirrin sauce (with some mustard oil and wassabi), Veggie patties and the hummus vegetarian platter are must tries. They also now offer a spicy crab roll and sliders. All food is prepared at the bar. On Saturday nights there is a live DJ. But the music is good every night. Unusual playlists and not so loud as to interfere with discussions. I've Shazzamed some really esoteric songs here to add to my playlist. The best part of it all is the lack of any attitude on the part of the bar staff. Some places along Avenue C feel what it's like when you want to get into a club with a velvet rope. The Summit is very welcoming and, I say it again, draws one of the nicest crowds in the city. No hipsters here. They're down the street. read more

I was here for about an hour last Saturday with my partner. The place is really cute, exposed brick walls, dim lights, even an outdoor patio (of course not used right now)... a great choice for an intimate date. I had a pisco sour and she had some red wine, and both were of good quality. Their cocktail selections is impressive... I can't wait to go back and try something more adventurous. The service was pleasant and professional. We were there early (before 8p), so it wasn't crowded, which was another plus. Recommended. read more

A good bar in my defination should consist of well mixed cocktails and good ambiance, this bar has it all! Not only the cocktails were awesome (esp dark and stormy, and breaking the law), i love the brick exposed wall and their seating arrangments, plenty of bar seats so people don't need to stand while sipping on their drinks. bartenders are very friendly, good mix of music and at the same time you don't really have to yell when you try to have a conversation! LOVE everything about it! read more

A pleasant surprise in a weekend full of pleasant surprises. I found Summit to be a pretty relaxed bar, nothing extremely pretentious. The bar, while EXTREMELY busy it was still easy to get the attention of a bartender and they were helpful in choosing a cocktail. The light shades made of whiskey bottles...perfect. The cocktails were well made, the Say Hello was a light refreshing drink, something that my gf loved so much it was all she had. The John Lee Hooker was also well made, I think the cocktails trend slightly towards the sweeter/citrus-y end but all well made, even something 'classic' like a margarita was well made and done quickly. However, I can't give it a higher review because I asked for a Blanton's with a little bit of water and what I got was a pretty good pour of bourbon with about the same amount of water, it basically just killed the flavor of it. A lot of precision and skill in making a cocktail but adding just a couple drops of water into a glass of bourbon and it was all thumbs. I didn't understand that. Stick with their cocktails and you can't go wrong. read more

If you like unusual cocktails this is a place for you. Get yourself a seat at the far end of the bar. Order a cocktail from the Alchemist menu ($10-$16) and watch the bartender in action. Great cocktail inventions! Enjoy. Tip: there is a cozy outdoors area in the back. The place is small and it fills up very quickly by 10pm. read more

As with The Wayland, me and a few friends stopped here on a crawl/tour of the east village, and were not disappointed. The place is bright and open, although it really isn't the biggest place in the world. But, what is the real secret to this place, the vinyl records. Ask, and you will hear it... On to the drinks. Again, we ordered two rounds here, and regretted leaving and not coming back, but we had to stay on course! Drinks that I remember: Breaking the law, the john lee hooker, the guv'nor, and unfortunately I can not recall the other drinks we had. Each drink had 'something' about it that made it delicious, and making you want more. The cucumber water is delicious as well, it's the small details. If in the area, go, now. read more

I've known about this bar for the longest and have had it bookmarked for just as long. Thanks to the fact that I now work in the neighborhood I finally got to check out this awesome bar. And what's even better is they just started doing a Happy Hour this summer. Where else would you get craft cocktails for $6? Yup, this is my new after work drinks spot! I particularly enjoyed the Governess cocktail. They also offer half priced oysters during happy hour. The bar atmosphere itself is nice and on the quiet side, at least during the week. It's a perfect date spot I'd say. read more

Wonderful, low-key bar way out on Ave C. Essentially a corridor, walled in exposed brick, a very long black-topped bar with lots of bar seats, overhung with pendant lamps, and a cozy seating nook for a group in the back. Also a small patio out back that we didn't check out b/c it was cold, but its open in winter. Creative cocktail menu, very appealing. Classics section and "Alchemist" section. Because NOLA opened my palate to whiskey cocktails, I asked the bartender for a choice with that and citrus, as my favored addition to cocktails is grapefruit. He suggested their Guv'nor, Yamazaki 12 year whiskey with cardamom-infused agave, yuzu, and orange juice. Delicious drink where you can appreciate the whiskey and enjoy the refreshing citrus twist. The Shu Jam Fizz was excellent also, a great choice for someone not looking for a strong drink, but not precisely sweet either. We didn't interact much with the staff as we had a small group and sat in the nook section in the back; my limited interaction with the bartender was good although he seemed new. Vibe was cool but very laid-back. Great place, great drinks, well worth the trip. read more

Great happy hour cocktails and food! The oyster was fresh and the pulled pork sliders were amazing. The best part was despite how busy it was, the bartenders and servers still did there best to give you the time of day. Definitely would return for great food and great service. read more

Found this spot and Yelp and as quickly decided to go to it last night. It's beautiful inside small but really nice. They have a small garden and the server Chris was great. The owner let us try some samples. We had the best time celebrating our girlfriends bday here. Awesome!!! read more

I came here with a friend for a solid drink. My first impression was that this was a cozy looking bar. The selection of artistic chandeliers were impressive. Using whiskey bottles for lamp shades? awesome. I ordered the john lee hooker. I think that's what it was called... I also wish I remembered what was in the drink. I remember big ice cubes, a cold drink, hard (but not unbearable), there must've been bitters, and I remember a splash of beer... what I remember most was an overwhelming feeling of satisfaction. I have to go back for that drink. I wish I had one in my hand right now. Edit: I googled their menu, here's the description of the amazing drink: "Peet Monster Scotch, Buffalo Trace Bourbon, fresh lemon, orange and sasparilla bitters, topped with Hop Stoopid Beer" yum. read more

The Summit Bar - John Lee Hooker? And the Red Bell Pepper one... - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

This bar was awesome and a huge relief after just coming from the one star establishment lucky bar a few minutes away. Upon arriving I was digging the vibes decor and the people. The ambience and low light was welcoming and the layout was captivating. Loved the long bar! We sat at the bar ordered old fashions oysters buffalo chicken sliders and veggie stuffed pitas. Everything was soooooo good. The backyard was also open and so cute and intimate.Resembles a sauna. Bathrooms were kept clean and the overall atmosphere was wonderful! Will certainly be going here again ! read more

Nice little bar with good food and attentive bartenders! Ordered oysters and they were really fresh. Tacos were delicious, made with fresh ingredients and rich in flavor. Ordered Ground to Glass, tasted Mexican to me, sour and sweet with cilli powder, liked it. Also tried the Guv'nor, really loved it! The exotic fragrance brought by cardamom was definitely a highlight! Would love to try the rest of the house cocktails if had a chance. read more

I stopped in for happy hour while waiting for a show nearby. The Summit Bar has one of the later happy hours I could find, going until 8 pm. The selection of happy hour cocktails was solid, and for $8 they were well made. The happy hour sliders weren't too bad either. The bar was pretty empty when I arrived around 6 but began to fill out. Overall a solid spot for happy hour for sure though a bit out of the way. read more

In search of a perfect cocktail? Make your way to Summit Bar to treat yourself. The majority of the times I have come here it was for happy hour bc it is simply too good to miss. Happy hour consists of discounted food options, a choice of $7 cocktails, and 1/2 price oysters! Quite the perfect pairing! My favorite cocktail here is the guv'nor which is summit blended whiskey, toasted cardamom infused agave, japanese yuzu juice, and orange juice. Some other favorites are the ground to glass, and the john lee hooker. I can honestly say i've never has a bad drink here. read more

Awesome cocktail bar with a modern aesthetic and experimental-within-reason cocktails. I had something pretty good with tequila in it. Don't remember what it was because I was pretty plastered, but the bartender said it was his favorite. Good guy. Their special cocktails were very reasonably priced at $12 a pop. They also have the standard classics for reasonably cheap as well. Seemed like a good crowd too on a Saturday night. read more

I had reserved the outdoor patio space for my best friends birthday. At first I only reserved it thinking it would get too warm inside for 20 of us even though we were celebrating in October. In retrospect it was the perfect selection. The space is closed off and has two heating lamps hanging above to keep everyone warm. There's an actual door that separates us from the rest of the bar so it really was like having a private party. Also, the pictures on their site don't do it justice and I of course forgot to take one - but the space is much larger than I thought it would be. With long benches and a table, there was more than enough room for me and my friends. We came on a Sunday when happy hour was in full swing, so it was a nice cheap experience. To top it off, the staff was so helpful! Kory and Warren were working that night. We had a cake that they helped me light, present and cut and even took part in some of the festivities. The ambience is super chill, the staff - reliable and overall, my bestie had the best birthday she's had in a long time. I couldn't have picked a better bar at random to celebrate at. We're definitely coming back :D read more

Worth the hype, Summit bar lies at the intersection of high class and low key times. Awesome oysters and awesome cocktails, definitely bring a date here. Ground to the Glass is my favorite drink in Manhataan read more

There is just one and common ingredient at all Summit bar drinks: The surprising factor It can be incarnate on a cardamom or cinnamon form at their infused agaves. Or what about a hickory smoked salt rim? did you ever thought about licking this from a glass? raisins on a Rye, or cucumber and even red pepper puree. You can keep counting some others "out of blue" elements. The Japanese Yamazaki whiskey that can please all those that are not a fan over the Western Rye, bourbon and whiskeys, is surprisingly a frequent component in their drinks. And for all of them orange and others citrus is a usual companion, and we all know this is a combination that must have been set in heaven. Herbs and spices seems to be the toys that the alchemist like to play with, because he can't be qualified differently. A guy that is also behind Maritime Parc (NJ) and Minetta Tavern's cocktails menu. Knowing this, I find him extremely interesting at this point. Greg Seider, a name that deserves to be remembered. The elements mentioned above are part of the large list of cocktails in The Alchemist menu. But you can also choose among the Classic ones if you are able to overpass the most exciting combinations. I couldn't but got stuck instead in this one, tasting a total of 5 different drinks; you don't need to know how many I did finish completely ...but not just one I can tell you. The presentation is simple. There is not tricks, garnishments or different textures, something that I admit to be a fan of, but that was not missed in this style of drinks. Rather, I find it perfect to be served in a plain, "boring" short whiskey glass to enhance the colors, make the huge ice cube a main character and to be focus on the flavors. Balanced and noticeable all of them. The space is appealing and "out of blue" as well for an Avenue C location. Baroque inspiration combined with naked brick walls and naked bulb lights. And hipster style bartenders, or at least to me as they resembled to Williamsburg habitants, that keep an eye on you to quickly attend your, sometimes numerous, request. Although I prefer the Guv'nor over the Born & Raised both where an amazing way to start the evening that end up with the Hawaiian summer rum punch, a Rum based drink combined with Vietnamese cinnamon agave, fresh lemon, Pinot Noir Float and something that I can't find what it is.. Dimmi Italian Cordial .. help? Despite the name this punch was far away of a tiki drink, that I usually find too water-down for my taste, but more like the luscious punch bowls served at Cienfuegos, those that I been a fan of since I first tasted them. Because I think that's the closest flavor profile among all the speakeasies in town for Summit bar drinks. The texture seems thicker at Cienfuegos while Summit offer a clean-liquid drink. But both resembles a similar tendency. And don't be trick by the sweet side, this drinks go down very easily but goes up to your brain maybe even faster. I guess its not by chance I prefer the Guv'nor drink having a Japanese character as is not other that a combination of Yamazaki Whiskey, toasted cardamom infused agave, Japanese yuzu and fresh orange juice. In the mid time "The situation" cocktail revealed how raisins not only goes well with Christmas, Thanksgiving, turkey and bread but is an excellent addition to Rye, caraway infused agave, fresh lemon and Summit orange bitters. The Ground to Glass drink, a tequila based cocktail was maybe the most excentric combination as its a mix of , red pepper puree, cucumber, fresh lime, Summit orange bitters finished by the hickory smoked salt. I read somewhere those are experimental drinks and although I really like that name and will keep using it when describing this drinks, I find it a little bit wrong. Experiments works only sometimes but somehow Greg Seider gets a perfect and successful combination .. every single time. read more

In the beating heart of Alphabet City lies a cocktail bar that manages to be incredibly low key and unpretentious while providing upper tier drinks and a unassuming atmosphere. Many call this a speakeasy, simply because there is no sign. But don't come here expecting a hunt, just walk straight through the door at the designated address and pull up a seat at the bar. All the bartenders are friendly and thoroughly skilled in the art of shaking, muddling, mixing, peeling and spritzing. Last night I had the Cider House Punch, a competitor in the Starr Rum Challenge this month, and it had the feeling of a cider drink, without all the heavy spices of a pumpkin pie that can sometimes confuse a drink. It was perfectly seasonal for the rainy November evening and I hope to return for more of their delicious concoctions. It's definitely on the mellow side and a great date spot. Start your night here and then maybe sidle up the street to Louis 649. It's libation paradise on Avenue C. read more

So I'm doing an update as I'd never been to the Summit late night. Well, not only does it deliver for low key day drinking but late night on a Saturday is also a fabulous time. It's a good scene, low key but not too too hipster and there was enough room for our crew of 9 to grab some elbow room. At one point in the night I even got a seat! I love the bartenders here - anyone that gives me 5 shots for the price of 3 to celebrate my friend's birthday is pretty fantastic in my book! The whip up some stellar cocktails: - Born and Raised - this is a good one but it's strong. I can only drink one or two of these bad boys. - The Guv'nor - "Ello Guv'nor" (you're allowed to say it like that when you order - tell them I said it was OK) goes down a little easier and is quite tasty with the cardamom. Probably my favorite cocktail on the menu. - Charmaine Star - I got this one accidentally... I think because the bartender thought the nice British gentleman ordering the drinks said "Charmaine star" instead of "the Guv'nor"... which is funny because you'd think a Brit could order a Guv'nor correctly... anyway, I digress and there was no whiskey to be found in my glass when it was handed to me so I tried this vodka cocktail... refreshing and a funny story nonetheless. - The Shu Jam Fizz - I love this drink... but the problem is it tastes like candy and I could easily guzzle down 5 of them in a matter of minutes... so it's best for my wallet and my liver if I do not order this. I've also tasted some of the classics, the whiskey sour and the old fashioned. Both were good as well, but I prefer the Summit's own concoctions better. Great time to be had by all. They have a patio out back for when the weather gets warmer. The only issue... finding a cab in the EV at 3am on a Saturday. read more

Having never heard of Summit Bar, I was intrigued when it was selected for a friends birthday before a later dinner. Summit is way way east in ABC City. The place is cozy, with a long bar, that is broken into 3 sections. There is also a small seating area in front and in back. The atmosphere is great and you don't feel packed in like cattle like you do at some EV and LES bars. The cocktail list is extensive and exactly where you should spend your money. They are also reasonably priced. The regular stuff, like a manhattan, old fashioned are under $10, yes you heard me right. The specialty stuff are in the 10-15 range, but are excellent. If you are in the area and looking for a reasonably priced cocktail in a low key, but fun setting, this is your place. read more

Okay...I'm not gonna say that this spot is sexier than The Room/The Other Room/Another Room...but its pretty damn close. I am gonna say that the mixologist (fuckin hate that term) was chill and adept at making our drinks and that the exposed brick and dark interor lighting would put anyone with a libido in the "mood". I'm sure you can figure out what happened the rest of the night. Psyche, I passed out on my couch with an 8-piece KFC bucket on my lap. read more

Summit was the first stop in our long night of barhopping fun. Good specialty cocktails ($12 or less) and a pretty nice space, so it's a nice place to hang out with friends. They have a patio in the back, but there were smokers (blah), so we opted to stay inside. The crowd was awfully young (mid-twenties mostly) on a Friday night. read more

I'm not sure at what point in the last decade I became a "Provincial New Yorker". You know... the one that whines, "Can we do somewhere closer (i.e. within 10 blocks?)" or "That takes two subways. Can we stay on the 6 line?" Yes, I admit... I am, in ways, laziness incarnate. But we all have that friend. That cool, connected, glamorous friend, that knows all openings, all reservation lines and all things cool. And with one swift text she had us running to The Summit. Now mind you it is on Avenue C (requires two buses) and 8th Street, but once I got there, it was worth the Metrocard mileage. Opened by the mixologist from Minetta, the GM from The Mercer, and the guy that owned the space in its former incarnation, Baraza, The Summit is a lone bastion of dignified drinking on Avenue C. One of The Summit's owners states that it wants to be like "your living room." There are no waiters, no attitude. Just great drinks where people can get to know eachother. You get the sense that this is what Cheers would have been if the gang had enjoyed fine cocktails. The decor is beautiful, dark, and glamorous (details to be gradually added with travel and time) and the service is gracious without the insincerity that comes with new places. This is NOT the place that will let you (or rather your money) in now, and forget you later, once Lindsay Lohan comes stumbling in the door... actually this is NOT the place Lindsay Lohan would ever come to. The drink menu has "Classic" and "Alchemist" cocktails, all perfectly balanced without a bottle of cranberry juice in sight. The Charmaine and Bob's Your Uncle were particular faves blending such esoteric ingredients as cinnamon bark, agave syrup and shiso (which they grow in their own greenhouse) into a glass with only one ice cube. There is also, beer, wine, charcuterie, cheese, and marinated morsels. They are cash for now, but will take plastic soon, and the patio should be open tout de suite. In the meantime, looks like my Metrocard (and my credit card... *sigh*)will be putting up with a few more transfers because if my wallet allows, you will see me here often. read more

LOVE Summit! But I'm torn. For someone who spends a good deal of his time in the EV, even I hate trekking to Avenue C. But that might be one of the best things about it. Why? Well as any cocktail drinker can tell you, finding a good East Village bar that's not retarded busy on a Friday or Saturday night is a PROBLEM. Enter Summit, which in it's C'ness gives you a sniffing chance of grabbing seats even on the worst nights. On early nights of the week, this place is extremely low key. Now for the goods. GREAT Alchemist menu in addition to the usual classic drinks you would come to expect at any good bar. Loved the "John Lee Hooker": A refreshing beer cocktail with Peet Monster scotch, Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Lemon, Orange and Sasparilla Bitters, then topped with Hop Stoopid Beer. Moving on to the boozier side of things, the "Born and Raised" is fantastic: Honey Bush Tea Infused Oak Cross Scotch, Dolin Sweet Vermouth, agave, and Orange Bitters. The Driving Miss Davies is another booze forward winner. On the middling side, they have food, which is a plus, but I do wish they had a full kitchen that offered more than the non-cooked customary meat and cheese selections. This is a very minor complaint and something that may not really be viable for them. Overall this is a phenomenal addition to the New York cocktail scene and also to THE list... http://www.yelp.com/list/best-cocktail-bars-in-new-york-new-york-3 read more

The trek to Ave. C is worth it. Alphabet city charm, a commitment to creative, stiff drinks, and an impressive back patio space Summit on a saturday night was a good mix of buzz and chill. On a weekday night, it presented a great, quiet enough space to catch up with a friend over a couple drinks without having to scream. The space is shaped like an old school telephone receiver, fat on the ends and skinny in the middle where there are bars on each end. We made a reservation for a party of about 20 people in the smaller front area that has a horseshoe-shaped seating area. We all had plenty of space to stand or sit, and even at the peak of saturday night, we never felt squished. the bartenders, who have the dual task of mixing an impressive menu of creative cocktails and slinging beers and wines, were fast and efficient. the cocktails ran a little on the sweet side for my taste, but there was plenty of variety to make me and my friends satisfied. Do try the john lee hooker though--scotch, bourbon, bitters, and beer--potent yes, tasty even more so. I'm admittedly more of a divey bar guy but I've also visited some of the serious drink bars like raines, death&co, and little branch...summit provides almost the same quality type cocktail in an environment that doesn't require 50-minute waits and nondescript doorways. Gotta love ave. C read more

A very packed bar, but one that should be at the top, or at least very high on your list if you're going to the East Village. There is a young, vibrant diverse crowd here at the bar, but a very good social environment. It's a rather long, narrow bar with only one bathroom, so be forewarned in advance. There is also a nice back patio area, but that was also very crowded and not sure if you have to reserve it in advance. The drinks here are amazing. They have a great selection of very strong drinks that pack a lot of punch. There's a drink called "The Situation," though I'm optimistic that it's not named for Mike Sorrentino; the drink was awesome. It can be a difficult choice as all my friends chose different drinks and we all thought that each of ours were amazing. In short, it looks like no matter what, you'll pick a winner. One of a friend's mutual friend came in the middle of our visit. It was kinda funny as he was trying to get this girl's number. The guy had this classic, "Chaz" from Wedding Crashers vibe to him and was hilarious. Though, I don't think everyone's Entourage if you visit Summit Bar, will have the same experience as we did. By the way, the girl didn't give him her number and he just took off...but that's off topic. The drinks, the bar and the people are otherwise awesome and you should definitely come check it out. I do feel that this is a place you could spend about half your night at if you really wanted to; we just about did. While we were able to find some other places that were also pretty good that night, Summit definitely remained at the top (pun unplanned, I swear). read more

I think I've found me new happy hour bar! The cocktails are usually $12, but during their happy hour they have them half off. They also have happy hour oysters, maybe I'll try them next time. I like the atmosphere here, its a bit swanky with a cool industrial vibe, brick walls, cool light fixtures and a crystal chandelier. I ordered the Governess - Russian Standard vodka, cardamom, agave, yuzu ... soo good! Will be back for more in the near future :) read more
