Love the ambience and vibes of this place. We went for happy hour, which was $10 featured cocktails and $8 classic cocktails. In this economy, we'll take it! And each drink I got was delicious, but my favorite was the Pitchfork. My burger was double stacked and delicious. Street parking or a small paid lot is in short walking distance. read more

This craft cocktail bar has the best deviled eggs and macaroni & cheese! So good. They do a nice cheese plate as well as a good whipped ricotta too. You can even get an Isaly's Chipped Ham Sandwich!! That's a must for any true Yinzer! Their cocktails are definitely unique and standout from other craft cocktail bars. I'm a fan of the Amethyst and the Peridot. The decor is dark, cozy, and romantic with exposed brick. The service is friendly. Really like getting to stop by when I'm back home visiting from Austin. read more

The Summit - Caesar green beans - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Still my fav bar in Pgh. Top notch food & quality drinks! Tapas changes often so that's awesome as you get to try different foods. Although some plates stay the same. They finally had the Kimchi hot dogs after so long, I was ecstatic for my husband to try it. Def a 10/10 as were the delish hush puppies & fries. The was definitely fresh & the ingredients did not taste low quality like a lot of the restaurants these days. I stuck to my Leora which the male bartender made- his drinks are bangin'-- I legit wait only for him to make my drink. My husband ordered the Malachite w ginger & the cute foam on top-- he enjoyed it. In the past we have also enjoyed the Honey Lemon Pepper Wings & Hot wings which were both bomb! Crispy & tender. The ambiance remains great. Though it can get very busy now that the weather is better. We were there at 10.30p & th place was still poppin! Started to die down by 11p. Definitely a place to visit with friends. The both of us absolutely adore this place & we frequent this establishment often. They also have Restaurant.com which is extra sweet! Shots are btwn 8-9$ ((love this!)). Happy hour prices are fab as you get to try many drinks at goo pricing. The staff are still very nice & welcoming & do not make feel like you're annoying them. read more

I went to The Summit for the first time recently! It was a smaller space than I expected it to be. I arrived at 5:30 pm on a Saturday and was able to get a table for 2 easily, but half of the bar was full already. I loved the intimate, cozy vibe of the place. Once it got dark outside, the inside was dark & moody and such a vibe. My friend and I got drinks off their special summer menu, which was SpongeBob themed (iconic!). I got the "Bikini-Tini" (the one with the honeydew balls garnish) and my friend got the "Art Thou Feeling It Now, Mr. Krabs?" We loved them! They were very unique. We split the whipped ricotta and grilled bread, which was absolutely amazing. I hadn't had a whipped ricotta dish before... I need to recreate this at home. We later ordered the fries, which were great! The ranch was a little too dill-y, so I mostly used the ketchup. We also got espresso martinis, which were smooth, and very hazelnutty. The food menu is limited. I want to try the burger next time, and I hear the popcorn is very good! I can't wait to try more cocktails as well! The service was great. They were on top of refilling our water and getting us more rounds of everything. read more

We stopped by as we were in town for the weekend and had taken the incline up top. It's very simple but I really enjoyed the ambiance. The doors (which look like garage doors) open to let fresh air in. I'm sure on a hot day it may get a little sweaty inside. But we had a nice breeze. We sat down and in about 60 secs we were greeted by a waiter who brought us water. After maybe another 2-3 mins another waiter came over to take our drink order. I had a draft beer as drafts were $5. As we wanted to eat dinner and their food menu was very limited with several other restaurants around. We decided to eat elsewhere. But I do like it here, if I lived around here I'd see myself stopping in for a few drinks from time to time. But since all we had was drinks I can only rate based on service, ambiance and speed which was great. read more

Great place for happy hour in Pittsburgh! Discounts on virtually their entire drink menu. Small food selection but what we tried were both amazing, lots of flavor and two dishes was enough for two people. Small place, maybe a dozen tables, mostly two per. Drinks tried were the Bikini-Tini, Krakatoa and two drafts: Allagash and Old Thunder Peach Thieves. Neither draft were particularly good, and the Krakatoa was a bit off the board but grew as you finished it. Bikini-Tini was by far the best drink, light and refreshing with a bit of honeydew flavor and frozen pieces. Would definitely get that again. Food was by far the best part of the experience, aside from playing Connect 4. The whipped ricotta I could have drank by the pitcher if they offered it. Topped with balsamic, pistachios and tomatoes with a hint of garlic flavor paired perfectly with the thin pieces of bread. The honey lemon pepper wings could have been their specialty item, crispy, juicy, lots of meat and the sauce was perfect. I would go back there and get two orders of these at time. Only downside is they come with one other sauce, I believe Chipotle Buffalo. read more

I'm doing a tour of hot dogs so when I saw they had hot dogs it got added to the list. I got the Seattle dog and pizza dog. My fave was the Seattle dog. I would go back. The bun was good. The hot dog was good. My friends ordered some apps. I tried a wing and it was good. Then drink wise I got the tequila drink of the week and it was good. The staff was super nice. I went on a Thursday it wasn't too busy. read more

Great spot on top of Mt. Washington. Small seating area - about 7 tables, but rather large bar area. Lots of crafty cocktails and great food selections. We only had drinks and snacks. Ordered the salt and vinegar chip things, as well as the cheese plate. Both were delicious. Ordered several different drinks and all were great! Service was terrific. Very attentive and helpful with deciding on drinks based on preferences. It's a great place to perch with garage doors that open to let in the outside air and views. Not sure about parking as took ride share to get there. Highly recommend this place. FYI - bathrooms downstairs and have to walk down steep steps. read more

Years ago, I lived on Mount Washington, and I regularly ordered takeout from The Summit. It's so good to see that it's still open and thriving. A group of us went on a Monday night, and there was ample seating available. One thing to note-- lighting is extremely low at The Summit so this may not be the best place for those with visual impairments. They had sold out of entrées by the time we got there (it was close to 9, after all), so we all ordered some apps. I went with the whipped ricotta and one of my former favorite takeout items: the hand-cut fries. The former was amazing, but I was a little disappointed in the fries this time around, as half of them were too burnt to eat and they appear to have gotten rid of the rosemary aioli I loved so much. But, as a self-proclaimed potato snob, they were still decent. We also ordered martinis because they are on special for $8 on Mondays. My espresso martini was so well-made, and those who went with the dirty martini were happy as well. You can also mix and match two hot dogs for $10 at The Summit, and the members of our party who went with them said they were outstanding. If you're on Mount Washington and looking for a cozy spot with less of a party vibe than Sloppy Joe's, head over to The Summit. You won't be disappointed. read more

We stopped by for a quick drink and food last Wednesday evening. Sadly the kitchen was closed but the drinks were fantastic! I was obsessed with my Pineapple Under the Sea cocktail. The inside was dark and moody and there weren't a ton of people there so we were able to get a table for 6 right away. read more

The Summit on Mt. Washington is such a vibe. It has one of the best craft cocktail happy hours around the Burgh. The choice of cocktails has always been creative and diverse with selections changing regularly. I have also dined in the past and the burger, fries, and whipped ricotta were equally as delicious. I have never been disappointed with any of my visits, but it is worth mentioning that the space fills up quick. Happy Hour lovers, put The Summit on your list! read more

This is now in my top 5 Pittsburgh bars. A cozy, warm bar at the top of the Monongahela Incline. We came before a Penguins game and were fortunate to get a table. We told them we were in a bit of a rush and they got us the drinks and check super quickly. The Old Fashioned was great and I loved the Boxes Full of Pepe as a whiskey and mezcal fan. The food looked fantastic but we weren't hungry so we tried the Salt and Vinegar Duritos. If you love salt and vinegar like I do, then you do not want to miss these. Recommend stopping by if you are in the area, or even making a trip up the incline just for the drinks! read more

Béchamel on the Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese was smack'n. Drinks were amazing, but very light on the alcohol. If you're trying to get toasty too supplement with some shots. Vibes were amazing. Very dim inside. Music was perfectly eclectic. Pretty sure they had Death Cab For Cutie radio on the last time we were there. Tenders are fast and nice. 10/10 would go again. read more

10/10 experience. We came for a quick drink after lunch and ended up having apps and two rounds of cocktails. The host was so friendly and informative about the different drinks and foods. We had the popcorn and fries - both excellent. Our group tried the stingless bee, and old fashioned, a dirty martini, and an espresso martini. The latter of which might be in the running for best in the city. Will definitely be back to try more. read more

Drew our server was on point! Our drinks were never empty, and he entertained our small chit-chat. those are the notes I found on the draft from exactly 4 months ago. Came here with a group a few months ago. It was a nice and relaxed type of evening; a Thursday right before New Year's Eve. I've been here a few times, over the years, and this place has consistently been a pleasant place to enjoy great drinks. Come in good company and/ or bring visitors after showing them the Mt Washington view. No matter the time of year, I would say this cocktail bar is a My Washington staple you don't want to skip out on. Grab a friend, grab a drink, grab a snack, and leave after having had an all-around great experience. read more

Really cute spot on Mt. Washington for drinks! They were able to seat us quickly on a Friday night for a medium sized party and the staff was really nice. Even though they were busy, they always came to check in on us and honestly, the drinks kept coming because they were super attentive. I like the size of the space since it's cozy yet people can spread out. It is pretty dark in here but it adds to the vibes. They don't have a full food menu since it is a cocktail bar but they do have snacks here. My friend got a cheese board and they said it was great. I was almost tempted to get some fries since there's nothing better than drinks and fries as a combo. They have a great cocktail and wine menu. I'd love to come here for happy hour sometime since it looks like a great deal with $5 drafts and $8 cocktails on Mon-Thurs. They also have specials on the weekdays from Mon to Wed too! It's a great spot for hanging out with friends and there's a lot of stuff nearby too if you want to do dinner before or after. read more

Happened to be staying close and the reviews were positive. The menu is small but what we had we enjoyed. They offered appetizers from wings to cheese plates and a burger. The honey lemon pepper chicken wings were really good. Crispy on the outside and definitely just out of the fryer. The burger was juicy and fries were boardwalk style. There were hot dogs available as well. It is a limited menu but service is fast, and the food is good. The on-tap selection included a wide variety of selections including two IPA's, stout, cider, sour fruit, hazy pilsner come to mind. They offered a bigger selection of bottled beers, but my tastes lean to local brews. They also had a large cocktail & very large bourbon & scotch selection. The service was good with only two servers responsible for the bar and a relatively small number of tables. It was open air with three garage doors and fantastic selection of 80's music. They had some fun art made of kegs mounted on the walls to set the mood. Absolute gem of a spot, will go back. read more

I cannot get enough of this spot! Prompt & Friendly service. Best espresso martini I've ever had. And the food was incredible. We got the mac & cheese and the burger and both were truly top notch. I loved the intimate/cozy setting, too. It makes for the perfect date night spot. Especially with an incredible view of the city from the overlook just steps away. read more

Top 5 bar in all of Pittsburgh... This place has a heckuva happy hour with great drink specials...and the cocktails are truly magnificent creations by some skilled folks behind the bar... Put that together with some incredibly delicious snacks and appetizers and you have a winner of a spot. This isn't just another great bar...this is a destination you need to get to, to take in the drinks, the vibes, and the bites. I will be back...and can't wait for my next round there and to share this place with friends and family. Head for The Summit! read more

Great staff, super chill and friendly bartenders. Didn't get any food on this particular visit. We came in mostly looking for water and a bathroom as well as a place to kill an hour before heading back down the incline. Super cute set up. I really enjoyed my watermelon lemonade cider- definitely a great summer drink and not a cider flavor I've see elsewhere. My friend got a fruity cocktail and then the bartender who's name I didn't catch made her an excellent mocktail with popping boba as we had to drive but wanted more popping boba that were in the original drink. read more

We had a great time here last Friday have some cocktails and snacks. We had planned to go to dinner afterwards but the fries and olives were such large portions we were full (and not upset!). Great prices in the snacks (huge basket of fries only $6 and bowl of olives $7). They have a great mix of options for their custom cocktails, very unique and every one we had was delicious. They have what may be the best espresso martini I've ever had. The cocktails were reasonably priced given how unique and complex they were. It was definitely starting to get crowded since it's a relatively small space. There is a paid meter parking lot down the street if you're struggling to find street parking. The server was also very nice. We will definitely be back! read more

We stopped here for a late night dinner after driving into Pittsburgh. This place is so cute, and really has a neighborhood feel. It really feels like a bar frequented by regulars, and I'm sure people continue to come back since the great food and service. The cocktails are incredible! I had the Leora and Watermelon, which were both delicious, though I preferred the Leora a bit more. Based off of the yelp reviews, we ordered the fries and the mac & cheese. I wasn't sure how the portion sizing was, but this was definitely plenty of food, and we honestly didn't even finish it. I think the fries were delicious, and I really appreciate how they came out hot. The rosemary aïoli is pretty unique, and pair well with the fries. The mac & cheese was definitely delicious, but it is extremely decadent and very cheesy, to the point where we honestly struggled finishing it (we ended up packing it to go). Overall, I felt like the food was on the heavier side, but will definitely scratch the itch for late night food. You absolutely cannot miss the cocktails: they all looked very unique and I really enjoyed the ones I had. The bar doesn't have the most space, but we were fortunate enough to find a table for 2 as soon as we walked in a little bit after 8 PM. I think it would be challenging to accommodate large parties, or if you come around peak dinner time, but definitely worth trying it out. read more

One of only favorite cocktail places in Pittsburgh! The drinks are incredible but the staff is is even better!

The Summit is one of my favorite cocktails bars in Pittsburgh. Great ambiance inside with open windows for taking in the neighborhood sights and sounds. The bartenders know their stuff and the drinks are always great. I can't speak to the food but the menu looks good. We caught the tale end of happy hour (5-7pm) and enjoyed some $8 cocktails, choosing a Paloma and an aperol spritz. Both were fab. I believe draft beers are $5 during this time frame. I noticed they have some other great specials during the week, too. One that caught my eye is a bottle of wine and a cheese board for $33 on Wednesdays. You really can't go wrong here any day of the week. Cheers. read more

I'm gonna do the short version on this one: the neighborhood is incredible and has mind-blowing views of the river valley, the décor of the restaurant is awesome, the service was excellent, and these are--I'm gonna say it and have to apologize later to everybody else--the best-tasting cocktails I have ever ordered, anywhere, including much bigger and more-celebrated markets. It's like a Michelin-star chef made a cocktail menu. The Summit was our first stop on our first trip to Pittsburgh (which, for reasons of being from Cleveland, I was told to hate in my childhood and now realize how stupid that all was and how on earth did I never come to this city before because it's cheap and cool and close to everything in the East?) and set the tone for an awesome three-day visit to go see the transcendent and godlike eternal magnificence of the Rolling Stones. Sorry: got sidetracked. The Summit is the bomb and has an open patio during warm weather and I have nothing but glowing things to say about it. Like, I've had specialty cocktails in Manhattan that cost three times as much and were not as good. Y'all are killing it here, Summit. I hope we meet again soon. Also also: really cool art. Someone has good taste. read more

The Summit is undoubtedly one of the best cocktail bars in Pittsburgh. The cocktails are truly outstanding both from the inventive seasonal cocktails to the classic ones. Every single drink I've had here has been done right. This time I went with an espresso martini & the Sakura fizz. This espresso martini has got to be one of, if not the best in the Pittsburgh area, it's not overly sweet, it's got that perfect foam on top, honestly delicious! The Sakura Fizz was also excellent - fun and pink in a high ball glass with a cherry blossom on top, it was refreshing and light just what I'd expected when I saw it on the menu. We didn't get food this time, but we've eaten here before. The menu changes fairly regularly but I've always had a good experience here! Not your average bar food, they always have some fun options. The service hear is great, in my experience the bartenders are so friendly & give excellent recommendations. The vibe is definitely cozy, it's small and cute & in the warmer weather the space is open for a patio-ish feel. Truly, one of the best cocktail bars in the city & definitely my fave spot on Mt.

Delicious Drinks, Excellent Cheese Board We were in the area and decided to stop in after trying to go on few busy nights, they were packed on the weekend nights we roamed the city for drinks and snacks. We sat at the bar on a Sunday afternoon and they were not too busy. We ordered a mocktail, and I ordered an espresso Martini. We asked the bar tender a few question about their favorite cocktail to make, or to drink, and I ordered one. The cheese and fruit board was excellent, and the drinks were mixed perfectly. We will definitely go back, but I would suggest making a reservation for weekend evenings. The atmosphere was very chill, and fun, and the bartenders knew everything we asked them about. read more
