A great neighborhood bar, lousy parking. The burritos were awesome, chips/salsa too! Fantastic beer selection. We met some friends up and had a grand old time. Much more chill atmosphere than I usually find at The Lookout, so I'd probably check this out if you're choosing between the two read more

They have great cheap tacos made from scratch here. .. they also still allow leashed dogs which is awesome in my book. read more

See all

Open for all the Seahawks games!!!! $2 OFF all wells and call drinks!!! And the bartenders are ridiculously good looking!

Where can you find yourself deep in conversation with a man who hunts undersea treasure? Where can you relax with a pint glass of fine microbrewed beer, recommended by an expert bartender? Where do people play pool and watch soccer non stop while the place is open? The Summit, that's where. It's a friendly, homey neighborhood place. My favourite place to unwind with my roommate when we want to talk about the coming zombie apocalypse, the falling standards of discourse in politics, or anything else. Fine on your own as well. read more

Great place to grab a pitcher and watch the game, shoot a game of pool or bs with some friends. Nothing super special as far as bars in Seattle go. Good beer, nice and quick bartenders. Seating is kind of awkward. read more

I love this place and i don't even live in the neighborhood. Great beer selection, great pizza next door that you can have delivered to the pub.It takes awhile but who cares for your drinking beer? Yet I digress... Stopped in here one day after a long bicycle ride and they were actually showing not baseball, not football, not some obscure college game but tour de france! This place is the best! read more

Summit is one of my favourite neighborhood dive bar in all of Seattle. It's one of the best dog friendly dive bars I've seen in Seattle. Their drinks are strong yet cheap, the bar tenders are nice to you, the patrons are well behaved and easy to have a good chat with. They have a great collection of draft beers too which keeps changing so you get variety. Try some of their high alcohol content beers. The pool table is slightly smaller than the standard size but well maintained, the Ques are not bent and the regulars that play pool after 10 are very friendly. They have outdoor seating and you are even allowed to take your drink outside as long as you are within the seating area. You cannot smoke in the seating area though. The kitchen is open till 10 pm I think and they have good burritos and tacos. Their sause is amazing and has a very homemade taste to it too. Also try the chips and cactus dip if you can. It's amazing. Summit is also a sports friendly bar. They show live Soccer games and other sports. This is a good place if you missed a soccer game and want to watch the repeat telecast the next day or the highlights later in the night. read more

This is exactly what a neighborhood pub should be. Good stiff drinks and friendly patrons made for a fun night of shooting pool and shooting the breeze. I will be back the next time I venture this way. read more

I've always just ended up here for various reasons never really a spot you set out to go, but always a fun time. We ened up going here since the sun liquor next door wouldn't even let us in for a drink because they were too full. There was a 20 min wait.... no thanks... I could settle for a hoegarden at summit instead. I prefer to sit at the bar but there are a few booths and seats around the pool table. Just your classic neighborhood dive bar.Pretty much what you see is what you get. It has a mix of people and isn't too crowded even on a Saturday night which is a plus for me. . Good cheap, chill dive bar with a pool table. read more

Nice place- as mentioned before, though, we were thoroughly disappointed to find no food. But the bartenders were really nice, and I loved the extra large tables and outdoor seating (which is hard to find in our rainy city). Plus, we didn't get 86'd, even after obtaining blatantly belligerent drunk status Also, due to being a bit sick, I ordered a Hot Toddy, and, unlike a lot of other bars, they actually made it without the usual grumble grumble, which was refreshing. read more

I came here for the first time on a first date. Had it been a bad first date, I'm sure I would have never looked back. But it wasn't, and I've been back many times since. The Summit is great. It's small, dark and quiet - the dark and quiet bit being things I prize highly in my bars. The bartenders are friendly and helpful, the pool is free, and while there isn't food, the pizza place next door will deliver to the bar for you and nobody will bat an eyelash. Added bonuses: dogs allowed and bathrooms are clean!! read more

I liked it. Good beer, good atmosphere, and although I don't play pool, I know that's a plus for a lot of people. We just went for drinks, after reading reviews mentioning a lack of food - and it's true, at 10 pm someone asked for food & they were told the kitchen was closed (already!). We walked two steps next door to Toscana and grabbed some pizza, which was decent... just weird that the two establishments share a bathroom & I got briefly locked out of Toscana after using the "shared" bathrorom. :\ I guess Summit allows you to bring in food from Toscana, etc, which I think is nice, especially if they don't have food there. It's definitely a place I'll be checking out again. Good for just chilling out and having a beer with friends. read more

This is such a great neighborhood pub! They have a nice selection of beers on tab and show soccer games. Not really sure what else you could want in a pub. The staff is friendly and attentive but not annoying. My ONLY wish is that they would expand their food menu a little bit. read more

No food! Yeah. The website lies too. Disappointing as I went here looking for drinks and dinner. I have friends that hang out here so every time I go it seems to be a good time. Nice outdoor seating in a quiet area that's still easy to get to from Broadway. I guess the pizza place next door that also has overpriced pasta will deliver to you in the bar as well. read more

When I'm tired of trying to make eye-contact with a bartender at Redwood (which, these days, is all too often, and that's too bad because I live literally a minute's walk from the place), I head over to Summit. I LOVE this bar. First, the bartenders are my favorite on the Hill. Hands down. I have never, ever had a bad experience here. They are friendly, helpful, and considerate. I can't say enough about these dudes. Second, the place is never uncomfortably crowded or full of idiots. Which isn't to say it's empty - because it's not. that, either. Somehow, there are always enough people to make it feel like a great social spot, but never so many that you're always in someone's way. Third, they love soccer here, and it's a great spot to catch a game and meet some new people. The beer selection is varied and they don't mind giving recommendations. Not all that many food options, but the cactus salsa is really good and fresh. I adore this bar. Never change, Summit. read more

This is one of my favorite Seattle neighborhood bars. Cute, simple, chill. Nice little outside area, and DOG FRIENDLY! I used to frequent this bar on a weekly basis when my boyfriend at the time lived just a block away, and we always had a great time here. They have 1 pool table (which we took full advantage of) and a great selection of beer. read more

This place has a great neighborhood vibe. There's a little bit of everything. Some beautiful mosaic on the columns near the bar, a pool table. Indoor and out door seating and best of all great local beers on tap. Just a few blocks from my place, don't know why I don't stop in more often! I'd love to become a regular here. It's comfy. read more

I really like Summit Public house for two reasons: 1) I can bring my dog and sit outside and drink and 2) the on tap selection. You always have to order at the counter. I don't think I have ever seen a wait staff around. When you order chips they are plentiful with a mild/medium salsa. The tv's are usually playing some sort of sports. I appreciated over the summer they ran the World Cup. I also like that in addition to a great selection of micro brews on tap they usually have a hard cider or pear cider on tap as well. All in all a pretty solid man's man type bar. read more

I end up at Summit Public House every 3 weeks or so. It's hard not to, the place has great beers on tap and it has a grungy vibe to it that's somewhat relaxing to me. I have no issues with SPH, but I've noticed that: -Pool table get bogarted -Usually 90% dudes They shouldn't change at all, but on a weekend it be nice not to have to nudge folks to actually play pool instead of just chillin' read more

We had a good time here on a Saturday night. The bar tender was attentive when we needed him to be, and the food was wonderful. (Make sure to check out the chips and salsa, the homemade salsa was amazeballs!) I could see this being an amazing neighborhood bar, but if you're going into Seattle - trying to find parking was a nightmare. read more

Theyre open at 4 (right about the time I make it up to the hill when I'm off work), they have Spire Cider, and there's free pool. Nuff said. read more

I really like this bar - it's super laid back and dive-y. I live on the same block and during the summer it was a great late night place to grab a beer and relax. There's always a good crowd (and never too crowded), no dirties or crazies (hey, it's Capitol Hill!). They had a happy hour during the Tour de France this summer and I went almost every day after work. The bartender doesn't have much to say, but he makes great drinks! There's outdoor seating, too - GREAT during the summer! read more

Very cool bar! Helps that it's less than two blocks from my apartment. Great beer selection and good mixed drinks. I can never remember the name of this place, but that doesn't matter, I know where to find it! I love the fact that you can grab food from Toscana to bring in. People are friendly, and I don't feel like a freak if I go in alone. Summer seems to be the perfect time to visit. There are tables outside and most of the time, you'll find a couple of dogs to pet. Thanks Summit Public House...one of these days I'll remember your name. :-) read more

We were supposed to have a send-off for a friend at an event venue across the street, but were locked out unexpectedly. Summit incredibly kindly accommodated our large group. Their bartenders rock. Everyone loved their drinks, and the food was solid bar food. Thank you so much for saving the day and letting us all say goodbye to our friend with a fun night out. read more

Jolly enough place.. I live across the street and they have some mean lean bean burritos (with whatever kind of meat you desire) that are only 7 bucks and they surely do kick ass. That being said its a bit too bro-ey in there when its busy. Don't go here to meet women, if you want, its a great spot to chill and eat burritos and watch football on sunday but only if you want to see the hawks. good luck getting anything else. I might add I may be one of those duchy sheds of tools when I get drunk, but hell I don't like to admit it. (I prefer denial and self loathing along with the associated guilt that comes along) Also I can see why these people love it.. I was being a complete ass one night with some other complete asses that I know from up the way, we got pretty rowdy and I am amazed to say I didn't get kicked out. When I most assuredly should have! The only thing its missing is some rowdy cowboys with their steer raslin' lassos and large leather dusters. Bring your six shooter. Anyway. read more

And if you're an idiot who thinks they forgot their bag at Summit Pub last night and call them in a frenzied panic while they're closed, they WILL actually call you back. It actually turned out that I'd hidden my bag in my house in some kind of devious drunken stupor, but I appreciate the knowledge that if I do ever leave valuables here, the staff will at least try to help find them. read more

The Summit Public House is a great neighborhood hangout. They've got an extensive selection of Northwest brews on tap. The atmosphere is casual and they have a pool table! Good beer, good people, good times. read more

If the afternoon on a (finally) sunny Seattle Saturday were a slot machine, Summit Public House would be the jackpot you'd hit as the outdoor benches (with space for dogs), friendly bartender, and rotating Northwestern tap icons line up in a row....Cha-ching! read more

With my friend and dog in tow we went to Summit on a Friday night and there were plenty of seats available. How can you not love that? Also, they had a huge grill outside with a guy cooking up some hot dogs for the patrons. I'm not sure if that happens every night but apparently you've got more options on food than chips and salsa or bringing your own grub now. read more

Great local-bar feel in Capitol Hill. It's a good hangout for regular people (read: no hipper-than-thou crowd). Friendly bartenders, reasonable prices, indoor and outdoor seating and periodic barbeque events. This little place is a gem! Who knew?! read more

It's kind of silly to go to a neighborhood bar when you don't live in the neighborhood, but I guess when half your friends do why not? Cheap strong drinks, free pool, and friendly patrons. read more

My friend's dog got drunk at Summit. The dog is very small and snuck a snip off of my long island. 10 minutes later, he tried to lift his leg to pee and fell over, peeing all over himself. That's what Summit is all about: strong drinks, welcoming atmosphere, and (every so often) inebriated animals. read more

Whatever, it's a bar. I thought it was too pricey ($5 well whiskey sour, which was not great, and $7.50 margaritas and bloody Marys). The margarita was gross (to me, I hate that sweet mix stuff), but the bloody Mary was tasty. Decent atmosphere. Would return if removed from the Pike/Pine corridor. For a great margarita, by the way, head over a few blocks to the Saint. read more

This is a good place, just what I like for most nights out. Low-key, beer, a dog (or four), a pool table, & hopefully a good game on. read more

Summit Public House - Pubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Went here to watch college football. Great neighborhood bar. Really friendly bartender. Just chill and nice. One recommendation. Expand the bar menu. read more

Love this neighborhood dive-y bar! It has a most excellent beer selection with a rotating tap that usually has something delicious coming out of it. The bartenders are always super-friendly and don't have that angsty, "i'm cooler than you, please stop wasting my time so I can get back to my deep conversation about incredibly ecclectic indy music" type attitude that Seattle is famous for. Quite the contrary! I highly recommend Dick's Danger Ale, one for the flavor and two for the name, i mean...c'mon! read more

My friend bartends here on Friday nights, and because of that, I came here on election day. I'm not the most patriotic person, but I certainly felt like an american when I came here and was given barbecue pork sandwiches for free from an election day barbecue that was installed out front for the special occasion. I live nowhere near here, and don't go to bars often, but I certainly do like the cats that work here. You may feel the same way. read more

This is most definitely a bar for the locals. Good place to meet people and see old friends like any local dive bar. Free pool and the best softball teams in the bar league. read more

Good beer list. Good specials/happy hour. Plenty of TVs, and best of all: dog friendly! A neighborhood place without all the hipster bullshit & fancy-pants pretense. read more

Easily my favorite bar on the hill, to me this place is special. It's a hidden gem I truly look forward to partaking in every weekend. It's my go to bar to run into local folks and enjoy myself. Staff members are always extremely kind, and the beer selection is outstanding. From cheap drinks to great beer options, this place has your back. The mix drinks are often stiff and tasty and the food is great, it's not a high end option for a sit down meal. But the food leaves you craving more, huge fan of the tacos and burritos. Not to mention they play every sports event here just about, and stream every Seahawks game no matter what. The booth seats are comfortable, they have two outdoor seating options and a pool table you'll want to play on read more
