Story

The Summit Bar was opened in 2009 by owners Greg Seider & Hamid Rashidzada. They first thought of opening a hand-crafted cocktail bar when they were working together at The Mercer Kitchen. While bartending at The Mercer, Seider used the extensive ingredients available from their kitchen as a source of fresh seasonal herbs and global spices to create his original style. With an extensive collection of newly designed cocktails that Seider created over the years,

Seider & Hamid decided to open their venture in the Alphabet City area of the East Village. In The Summit Bar’s first year of opening it was graciously awarded “Most Democratic Cocktail Bar” by Time Out Magazine and “Best Cocktail Bar of New York 2010” by New York Magazine. More recently in 2014, Seider launched his cocktail book “Alchemy In A Glass” which details extensive recipes of his reinterpreted versions of classic cocktails that are served at The Summit Bar.

Our Bar offers a casual environment for guests to enjoy the friendly service and affordable pricing. Every cocktail is made with fresh juices, homemade infused agaves, and lots of love. Our bar food menu offers items that are easily shared and go great with our drinks.
