Review 1 (2024-03-10 - Rating: 5)
The Summit Bar!!! When I first heard about this place I thought this was a bar that the tech house artist John Summit owned. Found out that the two are unrelated. (But both great)This establishment is so amazing that I’m still sitting at the bar here but couldn’t contain my excitement to write a review about it.I can go on for days about the cocktails here. You cannot go wrong with anything that you order here. The most underrated item on the menu is the hummus platter. I don’t know what they put in the pita bread here but it’s heavenly. It literally feels like you’re chewing on the most delicious clouds.BEWARE of the popcorn though. It’s addicting! Too good

I love summit, my good friend is a regular here and we met when I visited. Great drinks, tasty popcorn, and lovely vibes.

Weekday happy hour. The oysters and sliders (both chicken and pulled pork) were good, but the cocktails were great. The Ground to Glass with the red pepper purée was novel and delicious, like a bloody mary but lighter.

I cant actually speak to the food on the menu, but the popcorn they give you is fabulous. Buttery and delicious and the perfect bar snack. This is a lovely neighborhood spot for a drink with friends. There are a few table games like connect four if desired. And the server was great! Warm and not pushy at all! Noticed we liked the ring swinging game and brought over the connect four game. 10/10 place!

Super cozy cafe bar. Friendly staff, good coffee. Need to come back to try their cocktails!

It’s my favorite bar in NY. The cocktails are delicious and still gives a dive bar feel and I’ve been going here for at least a decade in my 20s

I went here with my friends during my trip to NYC and we absolutely loved it! We got there pretty late so the outdoor seating was closed but they were still seating people indoors and everyone working there was so kind. They give you free popcorn that they are popping fresh at the bar. The kitchen is open late so we got the spinach dip which i sadly forgot to capture but it was delicious!! It’s definitely been one of my best experiences at a chill sit down and chat style bar! I will definitely be doing back when I’m visiting again!

The drinks are Fantastic!! Lola made us the Best Hot Toddy and Manhattan EVER and we are picky. She is also incredibly kind, warm, sweet and just the best bartender you can imagine. Love this place ! Come see Lola

Really good service. Walter is the actual man. If you disagree…. Go far away and never come back to new york. This place has a fancy-chill vibe and even spiffier cocktails to match 🤌✨ I always feel well cared for in here.

Wow this place is the best! Came here with 5 friends on a Sunday night, not too crowded, which was great bc we wanted to catch up and hear each other talk. The best and most surprising part of the evening was our bartender Warren who remembered all our names, and graciously served really tasty cocktails ($7) and sliders ($7) from their happy hour menu. Pleasantly delighted, will return again!

Solid spot! I came here with a couple of friends Tuesday evening. Raphael & Warren were extremely friendly and accommodating. Our drinks were delicious too. I had a White Russian. Will definitely inquire about hosting a networking event here soon!

Great happy hour spot and the oysters are as fresh as fresh can be... the drinks are amazing as well!

Review 17 (2017-03-16 - Rating: 4)
Loved this bar! Although its far from mass transit, its got a great interior, fast service and friendly bartenders. The craft drinks are delicious & many of them are included in happy hour. When its not happy hour, the drinks run normal city prices, which is a bit more expensive than youd usually expect in alphabet city. Also, from what I saw, there was only 1 bathroom.

On a ten day trip to New York, The Summit Bar was one of our favourite local experiences. The staff are incredibly friendly and up for a chat, the drinks are amazing and the fit out v cool. The happy hour is second to none and would recommend getting a plate of oysters and multiple old fashioneds.Appreciate it guys. Keep up the good vibes

Summit Bar is ultra cool. It is exactly the type of bar that my girlfriend and I like to go to. Very friendly staff, delicious cocktails and fun/chill music. Always a great time, always happy to be there.If you look at the bar, they have the best versions of each type of liquor. Thats probably why the drinks are so good. Its a simple formula that most places somehow get wrong. They get it right.

They may not serve their Moscow Mules in a copper mug but they are still quite tasty! The outdoor space in the back is nice and I love that its open (its covered) in Winter plus the happy hour menu was quite good - we enjoyed the buffalo chicken and pork sliders!

Review 25 (2016-11-24 - Rating: 5)
Great little bar! Solid happy hour - still runs on weekends. There is a small backyard but I wouldnt recommend it because it doesnt have enough air flow. Come from the drinks and sliders

Just one cocktail here, but have been before. Nice bar, friendly bartends. Didnt eat this visit, but I recall their menu kinda limited, but double check. Def worth a visit.

Amazing cocktail bar, great scene, super fun!

Review 30 (2013-03-18 - Rating: 5)
Ambience is great for a date, though the music on the weekends makes it almost impossible to hear other people. The crowd is mostly young 20-somethings, and tends to exclude the belligerent drunk sportsbar goers that plague a lot of NY bars. The cocktail menu is actually really great, and despite its location (there are other bars around, but in my opinion, none quite as good), its worth the trek for one of their unique cocktails. There is one with roasted red peppers, for instance....or Charmagnes star, which is delicious. If you come early enough you can see them prep everything, which is an experience in itself. Candles all around and the water is cucumber water. Additionally, the service is great.

Review 31 (2012-08-27 - Rating: 4)
This narrow watering hole in Alphabet City really delivers in the cocktail department - so why were there groups of d-bags ordering shots of Jame-o and vodka sodas on a recent Saturday night? Steer clear on the weekends and head over when you can actually enjoy the well crafted beverages - the joint is a true gem but you need to be able to score a stool and sip your drink when its not too crowded to fully appreciate it. A small selection of bite are served, but youre better off pre-gaming it here and then heading elsewhere for dinner.

Review 32 (2022-01-04 - Rating: 5)
Really fun spot and they give you free popcorn! I love this place and the people there are great. The inside is really cute and the drinks are pretty and fun.

Review 33 (2022-03-18 - Rating: 5)
I love this spot and the hospitality shown every time my coworkers and I visit here. I am a particular conscious person when it comes to eating. I always have questions and ask if things could be a certain way prior to ordering. This last visit I was on a break from consuming, oil, flour and few other things. They accommodated me with this dish and I was in heaven.Let me be CLEAR the original dish is just as good. Set up the same way but where the cucumbers are is where the pita bread is and the oil is set in the middle of the hummus.I also dont consume alcohol and they made me some great mock tails. I definitely didnt feel left out being here with my peoples.So check them out if you are ever around. The music/playlist is ALWAYS on point too!

Great neighborhood bar!

Review 35 (2015-01-10 - Rating: 5)
Love the ambiance and inventive drinks. This is a mixology bar with strong drinks.I had Vieux Carre which reminded me of New Orleans because thats the first place I had it. Very strong drink. Also had a whiskey drink similar to a whiskey sour, it was delicious. Also, great snack food to go with the drinking.

Review 36 (2016-07-10 - Rating: 5)
Great cocktails, each and every time I have come here. Never been disappointed. Outdoor seating in summer is a plus!

I recently hosted my birthday at Summit Bar and I couldn’t be happier.I emailed the Summit Bar team a month in advance and very easily booked their entire back room for myself and my guests. Their coordinator, Hamid, was incredibly responsive, communicative, and helpful. I was able to bring a cake without added fees.When I got to the bar for the event, our hostess, Lola, greeted me and took the cake back with her. She was super excited to host myself and my friends and was incredibly attentive to us the whole time, brought out the cakes and helped us sing happy birthday, and kept the back space private for our group throughout the reservation.The whole team at Summit is incredibly intentional, welcoming, and supportive. Drinks were great, music was fun, and overall I couldn’t have had a better experience. Highly recommend Summit Bar!!

Drinks were good, outdoor space was fine. I liked it, but was not overly impressed. I think the inside was more hopping tho.

Loved the drinks, excellent vibe and good music. Bunch of locals, I was, for sure the only tourist there. No food at all, so if you go there; have dinner first!

Tuna Tartare only $12; bomb portion and super tasty!! Note to management: please never get rid of this item and keep prices same! = happy returning customers :)

Ive been coming here for years and would continue to highly recommend it during the pandemic! They practice social distancing, safe handling of drinks and food and a strict adherence to the guidelines set out by the NYC government. Theres a beautiful outdoor patio area as well as small picnic tables spread out in front. Great music that plays and very safe considering it is situated opposite a police station. Food is great too! Cocktails are reasonably priced around 12-13 dollars and beers around 6 or 7.

Satisfy your interest in the art of Mixology at this art deco lounge. End your work day with a perfectly concocted Manhattan or ask the bartender for a suggestion.

One of the best Happy Hours in the town. $7 cocktails are totally worth it. Friendly bartenders. Happy hour food and oysters are amazing as well. Do check out the patio.

Review 79 (2023-01-01 - Rating: 5)
One of the best (new, for me) bars Ive been to recently. This place is truly one of the friendliest, good energy spots Ive been to in NYC. Immediately upon entering, everyone greets you and I mean everyone! Somewhat of an oddity here, but it really made me smile!A group of 3 of us popped in for a few cocktails and were seating on their intimate enclosed back patio. The drinks were awesome. Everything we got was absolutely delicious.I ordered a drink called Last Cocktail and it did leave a lasting impression on me for sure!We even ended up getting some oysters Rockefeller! They were pretty good!So, who would I recommend this place to? Id say this spot is great for more intimate conversations. Whether it be a date or a low key girls night or just a few friends hanging out over a cocktail. Not a spot for big groups or loud, rowdy hour.I really dont have anything negative to say about this bar. Its a place I enjoy and continue to recommend to my friends. I cant wait to come back!5/5

The reviews say it best! This place is a cool hip spot and a must in Alphabet City. I had the pleasure of living around the corner of this place! Affordable and genuinely handcrafted cocktails make this place a gem! Every time Ive sat at the bar, Ive been treated cordially by genuine bartenders. Ive had the privilege to see how much time and effort they put into the small details of their handcrafted cocktails. Did I mention before how affordable everything is? Must do oysters and cocktails after work for a happy hour! You wont be disappointed!

Came in on a Wednesday evening for happy hour. They have some solid drinks, and for $6-7 you cant go wrong. Their small plates are very good, as well. Tried the BBQ pork sliders and the buffalo chicken sliders, and they were delicious. Definitely want to come back and try some of their other original cocktails. Friendly bar and wait staff, and the music selection is pretty well-curated, as well.

Great little bar on Ave C. Extremely laid back and very nice bartender. (Wish I had gotten his name...very nice guy with curved up mustache!) Drinks were on par and reasonable priced. (I am from NOLA so drinks are very expensive there!) Will definitely be back when I visit the East Village again.

Fantastic bar. This bar characterizes what it means to be in the Alphabet City part of East Village. Its local, trendy, and comfortable. Wait staff is great. Drinks are spot on. Music is interesting and quite pleasant. The ambiance is perfect to mingle with a friend or go on a date. Its intimate and quiet enough to speak in a normal voice. As a patron, I feel connected to the place when you step in the door. To top it off, the décor and furniture fit super well with all of my above statements.

Great Happy Hour! Fantastic cocktails for $7 - i had the Guvnor. - and half-doz oysters for $7.50. Also the Pork sliders are delicious. They do something very special to the red cabbage that makes it sweet and juicy. So good. Definitely come here for Happy Hour. The bar itself has a chic-rustic decor, all exposed brick and eclectic finishes, such as the half-bottle lampshades on the lights hanging from the ceiling. Im told they renew the bottle-shades when they get a bottle with a story.

This fancy cocktail place may seem out of the way, tucked over on Avenue C, but it is worth your while to make it over for a visit. The bartenders are warm and the cocktails inventive. It can get a bit cozy later at night, so come early (before 10) and find a spot to stay for a while. Note, they often have private parties, so can be hit or miss if you can get in.

Never felt more welcome as a neighbor than at the Summit. Casually went here with 2 of my friends on a Sunday, and we ordered the oysters, sliders, and a happy hour drink each. All of them were great, especially high complements to their tasty happy hour drinks! What we got in addition was an entertaining bar staff who kept the jokes flying and even inserted some fun filled debauchery. This is my new neighborhood bar!

Cocktail bar with a little bit of tiki influence. Awesome backyard-ish patio area. A good middle-ground if you cant make a call.

Great bar with a great happy hour. Bartenders are all great and super friendly. Can’t beat $8 cocktails and $1 oysters daily happy hour!

David and Fredy took me and Gabby here. Bartenders were really cool. But maybe too cool? A little bit.

Another little gem in the heart of the Alphabet City. The cocktails are exquisite. Do yourself a favour and drop in and try the pulled pork sliders and wash it down with either Charmanes Star or Ground to Glass and/or both!

GREAT spot for drinks. As long as its not too cold, the covered back porch area is a haven for smokers. Cant go wrong with the cocktail list.

The most unAustin Place youll find in Austin... But sometimes you just need a change. The music is great, it is a huge rooftop and bottle service is decent.

Review 151 (2019-11-28 - Rating: 4)
The drinks are fantastic and the bartenders are great. The only reason for four stars is that Ive been three times now and the music is always so loud that you pretty much have to scream to hear anyone. Id love to go back but Im tired of yelling and leaving with a tired voice after just half an hour.

Fantastic bar in Alphabet city with quality cocktails and great owners!

Summit Bar is one of the excellent establishments serving up delicious cocktails and a good party scene. Located right across the street from The Wayland, they offer a range of classic and original cocktails designed by Greg Seider (who also did the drinks at Prima), most for the modest price of $10. You can relax in the small garden area out back, grab a seat at the long bar that runs the length of the space, or gather round one of the Yamazaki barrel top tables that dot the rest of the room. Were partial to the John Lee Hooker, which includes both scotch and bourbon, and is topped off with beer. Just go with it.

Lively space for serious conjuring / delicious and well priced cocktails / friendly staff that accommodates large groups (and takes reservations for them too) / saddle up for a date or a group thang / crazy loud later on / music gets monotonous
