Excerpt:
Aside from the full and fantastically flavorful
food menu, the beer selection also includes a pretty surprising selection of
quality brews. Josh was working behind the bar and was open to suggesting new
beers, including free samples. Oh hell yeah.
Bad carpeting, a kick-ass punching bag video game, massive beer signage,
obnoxious wall of pull-tab bins, and Taco Tuesday food deals make Summit Pub a
prime definition of “dive bar.”
Service:
Josh rocks the show.
Beer: Cheap and excellent selection
Food: All the sandwiches are huge, delicious, and come with a
tater tot side option.
Bar Exam Dive Grade: A+
