Top of the Park

Top choice in The Adirondacks


Top of the Park bucks the trend of other lakeside options in Lake Placid, which tend to be chintzy and uninspired. This small bar has fantastic mixologists who specialize in inventive, well balanced cocktails. There is also a tasty menu of small plates. Try to get a seat on the patio overlooking the lake.
