Since moving to the area in '23, I've tried to get to Summit anytime I'm over in Mt. Holly. At first it was just for the beer and wine selection and the cool vibe. But now they've added a permanent food truck, @halfwaycooks, and I may now have to go once a week! I had the wings with fries and my wife had the fried bologna sandwich, both meals really good and reasonably priced. The service is always great there with knowledgeable people behind the bar for your beer, wine, or mixed choices. read more

After years of not going by this place, I decided to give it one more try. Bad mistake. Seems the only music they can pick up in there is still hip-hop. Only middle aged white people were sitting in there and very few of them. So I wonder why the music selection? Regardless I will never go back. So many better options. read more

Awesome beer selection with craft options, draft wine, and PBR on tap!The food truck offers the best food downtown Mount Holly. Super cool vibe. read more

Stephanie, Heather, Cassandra and all of the staff have always been super kind, and they carry a wide variety of beers from all over the region. Always a great tap list, a great location, and now there's good food onsite too! read more

I love this place, and they keep making updates so it just keeps getting better! I'm not a beer drinker, so I'm usually SOL at a brewery or beer shop, but they have a really good selection of wine (some natural too, which is hard to find!) as well as N/A and cannabis drinks. They also have a few cocktails and boozy slushies on rotation. The staff is literally the friendliest staff of any bar I've ever been to. There's a great patio, and now there's a little place serving KILLER food. They've just expanded with more indoor seating too, so it really is a perfect neighborhood spot to hang out. read more

Love The Summit! Great beer selection, chill vibes and love the music selection. If you don't like the music you're probably old and need to go home and watch your reruns of the Andy Griffin Show anyways. Service is great and the bartenders can lead you to whatever style you're into. read more

Love this place. Wine and Wu Tang on Wednesdays you cant go wrong. good selection on tap and in the coolers.

Great little beer shop. I want to clarify this is NOT a brewery, but they serve over 20 different beers and ciders on draft from all over NC and other states. I had a flight of 2 sours, 2 ciders and a maple/pumpkin beer. All delicious! Staff was friendly. My only recommendation is they add written menus, as the computer screens frequently changed and it took forever to try and read the descriptions! read more

What are these people talking about? "Disgusting lyrics"? "Not family friendly?" The Summit is amazing. Some the nicest, kindest bartenders work here. They have a great craft beer selection and fantastic wine. The Sunmit has beer you can't buy at your nearby Food Lion. This is what Mount Holly needed. Summit, keep doing you. Keep playing that hip-hop, keep the people happy with snacks and great beer. Screw these turds complaining about hip-hop. We love you. read more

Mt. Holly's newest bottle shop has a great atmosphere, and a great selection of beer. The decor is perfect, preserving the original brick of the historic building while adding their own design everywhere else. The bartenders are all really nice and make insanely intuitive recommendations based on your preference of beer. Their beer selection is impeccable with a consistent rotating tap. In the back you can purchase beer from the case or take it to go. They also have wine on tap and by the bottle if you're not into beer. read more

See all

Great atmostsphere, miss it when you can order from South Main to deliver to your table of Summit! Love the selections of beer, way better than some places in downtown. Love the Key Lime Pie Sherbet and Champagne Pilsner! read more

Great place! Tons of beer on tap that you wouldn't find anywhere else, super friendly staff. They have beer flights! The bad patio area is great, and sometimes they put out fire pits. You can also grab a beer from their little shop area to crack open at their bar for no extra charge or take with you! Prosecco on tap, who can beat that?! We just moved here and have already become regulars and this amazing little spot. They do not serve food but you can order from next door and they will bring it right over to you for free. read more

Exactly what Mt Holly needed. A well thought out and designed Beer & Tap shop. First class. Love the beer selection of the 24 rotating taps as well as having wine options. Nice to be able to pick up nice selections bottled/canned beers from the shelf or even refrigerated. John (the owner) has done an outstanding job. read more

Great selection and friendly staff. Not my first time here and definitely won't be my last. Staff is helpful when trying to decide on beers. Always a good rotation of food trucks to choose from on different days of the week. They will let you sample the beers and have 24 on tap. And even more in bottles and cans to take home. (Cold and room temp) read more

This place is awesome. Always offering different beers on tap and even more for take home. Worth a visit if you're looking for some good beer selections and a great atmosphere. read more

The best and most original unique decor with only the top beers including seasonal! Fantastic patio space as well!

Just what Mount Holly needed! Beer selection on tap is interesting and always changing, like day to day. They are also updating the bottle and can selections on a weekly basis. Try something new for the first time! We were able to get some pretty hard to find beers. Staff is generally friend. Jeremy is an awesome bartender and so is Tyler. Atmosphere is cute and inviting. Big win for Mount Holly. read more

By far the best craft beer place I'm Gaston county. Amazing selection of craft beer to go and on draft. They have something in everyone's wheelhouse ranging from beer, cider, and wine. What separates them from their competitors is not only do they have great beer but their service is world class!!!! Stephanie is like the best Beertender EVER!!!! Shes very knowledgeable in the beer industry and knows her chit!!! Jon is a great guy and treats everyone as a longtime friend from the moment you hit the door. Heather is sweet and always on top of things at the bar. You'll never have an empty glass there. If you haven't already do yourself a favor and check this place out!!!! read more

Summit is a super impressive place. Impressive story, owner, bartenders, selection and vision. This is a spot I will support for years to come and appreciate the people and products they offer read more

Great place, nice selection of all types of beers. Really enjoy talking to the bartenders and the owner. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and truly appreciate your business. My favorite place to relax with a beer, other than home. Also, my wife loves it because she can come to a beer shop and get wine on tap. A double plus for me!!! read more

The Summit is my favorite beer shop!! While I'm not a huge beer drinker, I love ciders and there's always a great variety on hand. I enjoy coming down for date nights with my husband and to hang out with friends on the weekend. I also love that they bring in different food trucks weekly and always look forward to trying out all the different foods. Definitely worth a try if you haven't been!! read more

I use to love this place and still do but their quality of beer has gone down hill. I don't know if they buy bad beer or just don't handle it properly but every time myself or my friends have pulled from the fridge the beer has a bad taste. Often it's beer we've had before so we know the taste. I hate to write this because this use to be our favorite spot! Heather the bartender is SO GREAT and we love the atmosphere. The outside patio is so nice. If you go just order something on Tap! read more

Man, I really want to like this place. I moved to the area 2 years ago from a place that had an awesome craft beer scene. NC's prowess in this area is well known, so I expected to find a more vibrant craft beer scene in Gaston county. This place fills a need in that category. If only it were good. Let me elaborate. Selection: sometimes is good, most of the time it isn't. Lots of options doesn't always mean quality options. They often have very average beers on tap and half of the taps are usually IPA's or similar. (Which I like, but gimme some variety!) The beer "curating" needs some work. Belgian ales (any of them!), more stouts, more wilds, get some fun stuff in here! Also, get some beer from places other than NC and CA! The beer list is usually 90% NC. We have good beer in this state but give me something that's not accessible at every grocery store and gas station... Prices: definitely on the high side. (More on that below). Draft beer is easily 20% more across the board compared to the NE, Dallas, LA, and other markets I've been to. Also, how the heck do they justify charging $14 for a 4-pack of Two Hearted ale when Food Lion charges $9? Bottle and can prices are insane here. Service and expertise: Most of the bartenders don't know anything about beer and by their own admission either don't drink beer or drink cheap stuff on their own time and dime. If they don't know how to pronounce words like Saison and Gosé, how can I trust any opinions about what's good or what I'm in the mood for? And for that matter, in the 6 or so times that I've been here I've never been asked what I'd like to try. Just "hey, what's up, how ya doin'?" And then tonight was just awful; I asked for a small (flight sized) pour of a certain high priced beer. I don't mind paying a higher per-oz price to give me the chance of trying more beer on my limited sobriety and $. Anyways, she poured the full 13oz/$11 beer and I nicely mentioned that it looked like a pretty large small... She explained that this beer was not available as a small, but she definitely heard me ask for a small pour of this beer (Firestone Walker Bretta Tangerine). I asked her about flights and she said that some beers weren't available as flights. This is literally not listed ANYWHERE in this place. This would have been awesome information to have before she poured. No apology of any kind or offer to make it right in any way. Just arguments as to why she couldn't pour the small beer. Awesome customer service... Also, I've been in here 6 or so times and have never had any manager or owner say hi and thank me for coming in. I know who they are and have seen them in here a few times. They generally just look at their phone or talk to the bartenders about how the night is going. They don't engage the clientele at all, unless they are already friends with them. This area could use a lot of improvement. Get out and talk to your customers! Ask them what they think! This might prevent some negative reviews like this one... Anyways, it's too bad that this place is a swing and a miss. It's sooo close to being great. Maybe Jack Beagles will give them some friendly competition and make them up their game. We'll see. read more

Best beer selection around!! Cool place. Whoever is choosing the beer is on point!! Always a great variety with several of my favorites... NE IPAs. Only reason I did not give 5 stars is bc the food availability. There's an option to order from a restaurant next door and they will deliver it to you. However, the three times I've ordered, I was not impressed. Maybe they'll get some food trucks soon?? In the meantime, it's definitely worth going for the beer alone! read more
