Summit Bar

Editorial Review

Settle into swanky Sinatra-esque blue velvet, sip gourmet cocktails made of rare ingredients. Cheeky names reflect deviation from pretentiousness normally associated with today's OCD mixology. Minetta Tavern and Lot 61 hands serve up drink menu that ranges from classics (Tom Collins?) to originals like the absinthe-laced Apology. Gets ambitious with toasted cardamom-infused agave, hickory-smoked salt rims. Artisanal cheese and charcuterie to nibble on, although note that the drinks themselves are priced like a meal.
