The Summit Bar & Cafe — Restaurant in New York

One of the best (new, for me) bars I've been to recently. This place is truly one of the friendliest, "good energy" spots I've 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? I'd 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 don't have anything negative to say about this bar. It's a place I enjoy and continue to recommend to my friends. I can't wait to...

This is one of the places I almost don't want to review because I want to keep this for myself. I love how quiet and cozy and hidden from the general public this is. Living, warm, welcoming. This place has its own dog who might sit with you. The food is the handmadest special creation you'll eat today; it will make your own home cooking feel generic. The decor is spot on and classical French bistro of the sort you only expect in old movies, but never think you could encounter in real life. The pastry displays make all other pastry containers in the city feel jealous and cheap. The owners know my name. The light from the street lights up the seats at the window just the right way. There's a small step at the front door that is a minor obstacle for people with a rollator but it can be managed. There's outdoor seating. The owners get extra points for taking care of the tree in front...

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...
