Summit Public House

I've been going to the Summit since it became a bar. The owners, previos & new have always been very pleasant and attentive. Location (4 blocks from my apt.) is perfect, and you can smoke & drink on the patio out front. Love the fact that it's dog friendly (mets LOTS of canine friends!) Music is mostly good (I'm a little older than the average patron there-Classic Rock is my bag) and I can't thank the Summit enough for introducing me to my favorite Belgian beer - Hoegaarden !! Pros: Friendly staff/beer selection/location Cons: too many other people discovered it/ often overcrowded (only reason 4/5 stars!) more

I read the reviews here saying the new owners are better, so I decided to go check them out. Pros: The exit sign is clearly visible Cons: Everything more

This place has new owners and WAY BETTER NOW. They are excellent and friendly super personable. food is great. great place!!! try the blt and salad with thousand island dressing. yummy! Pros: new owners, nice staff, great food Cons: non more

I love the Summit for its' true neighborhood bar feel. Nothing fancy, just great beers on tap, always good music playing, fun (and different) sports on the TV's, free pool (as in FREE). I've been going there for about 5 months and find the owners and employees to be quite nice. The current owners said they just bought it a year or so ago, so I'm assuming it must be the old owner that people got bad service from. If you're in the 'hood, it's worth checking out. Parking can definitely be an issue though. Pros: choice of beers, happy hour, music Cons: parking more

I've read a few of the past reviews for the Summit and I have to say that they all talked about 1 thing: the owners. Well, there are 2 new owners of The Summit and they couldn't be friendlier. They have seriously upgraded the place, adding a ventilation system so it's not a smoke filled bar (like most bars on Capitol Hill). They have also expanded and have a nice outdoor patio area to enjoy drinks and conversation with friends. The addition to the flat screen TVs and the fact that The Summit is the ONLY bar in Seattle to show the Tour de France in it's entirety make the Summit a great destination for both locals and out of towners looking for a unique bar experience! Pros: Not filled w/ smoke, friendly staff, central location Cons: parking more

The Summit Pub is my favorite neighboorhood pub. They have great beers on tap, a flat screen TV for watching the Sonics or the Tour De France, cute picnic tables outside and a KICK-ASS BLT. Don't expect overly gracious or fast service but it's a pleasant place to have a pint with friends. Table top Ms. Pac Man is a must. Pros: beer on tap, outdoor seating, Ms. Pac Man more

I can't believe this place is an 8.7 on the list. The total lack of soul of the people that work there makes it *possibly* the worst bar in the entire Seattle region. The staff is rude and arrogant and helped to make my first visit my last. Public houses in England are traditionally ""come as you are"" the Summit is ""come as you are- as long as it doesn't interfere with our slacker vibe."" I HATE THE SUMMIT. Pros: Don't have to go back Cons: Attitude, Arrogance more

But the owners of that place seem to hate their job. It's the perfect location if you live around there are don't feel like walking up to Broadway. But I have to agree with the other reviewers that the owner always seems like he is in a bad mood., which is not a good quality in a bartender. Pros: convenience Cons: , weak mixed drinks more
