Beacon Hill Tavern & Restaurant

Must remind myself - I'm here to check out the local Summit scene, the patrons are very nice, the bartender is chill and friendly, to ignore the fact that the food is really, really lackluster.  (at least they have a 50% off appetizer happy hour... but even at that I would not recommend the food)

The 5 star rating isn't for food or atmosphere, it's for the bartenders.  Let's face it, this is a dive bar, but I'm so happy to have this dive bar in my hometown.  The bartenders pretty much rock!!  Glass is never empty and they are pretty funny and super nice people.  

Food is actually great bar food too.

I didn't eat here.  If you walk straight through the front door then turn 45 degrees to the right and walk through the dining room and through a door and you'll be in the bar area.

Its a Cheers like bar.  Friendly bartenders, cheap beers, and good music playing.  90% of the  crowd made up of men hanging out after work just relaxing with a few beers.  For what this bar sets out to do, it does it very well.  

Its a clean, no frills bar where you can enjoy a few brews after work, or meet for a couple beers.  I think its a hidden gem in downtown Summit, which is normally a little too pretentious for my liking.
