Après-Hike is the New Après-Ski – And Cloudsplitter Rooftop Bar is the Place to Be

Summer in Lake Placid isn’t just about hitting the trails — it’s about how you wind down after the summit. Whether you hiked a High Peak, explored Mirror Lake, or wandered the woods near town, there’s no better way to cap off your adventure than with a cold drink, great food, and a relaxed vibe at Cloudsplitter Rooftop Bar.

Steps from the Trail… and from Main Street

Lake Placid is the beating heart of the Adirondacks – and a launch point for some of the region’s best hikes. After bagging a nearby summit or finishing a morning trek, Cloudsplitter Rooftop Bar is your reward!

We’re a short drive from:

  • Mount Jo – quick hike with a big view, perfect for families and first-timers
  • Cascade & Porter Mountains – Popular High Peaks and summer favorites
  • Cobble Hill – Right in Lake Placid and great for a quick afternoon climb
  • Mount Van Hoevenberg – Scenic views with Olympic history
  • Whiteface Mountain – Iconic Adirondack peak with hiking access and a summit road
  • Henry’s Woods – A local gem for trail runners and casual hikers

Tackled Mount Marcy or Algonquin Peak? Congratulations – you’ve earned that second drink.

Cold Drinks, Adirondack Cocktails, and Local Brews

Our rotating menu of seasonal cocktails and regional beers is designed for days like this. Whether you want to cool down, carb up, or just kick back:

  • Try our Strawberry Fizz, made with locally grown strawberries (available while they last!)
  • Sip a crisp Adirondack craft beer – hazy IPAs, refreshing lagers, and summer ales are always on tap
  • Opt for a lighter option like a spritz, local cider, or zero-proof cocktail with fresh herbs

Small Plates with Big Flavor

When you’re fresh off the trail, you need food that satisfies – without weighing you down. Cloudsplitter Rooftop Bar is known for shareable, satisfying dishes perfect for groups, solo adventurers, or hungry hikers:

  • Pesto and mozzarella flatbread with heirloom tomatoes and basil
