Counter Kitchen & Bar is located in the Hotel Salem at 209 Essex Street, Salem, Ma. 

FRESH, SIMPLE, MODERN FOOD.
Set in the historic Newmark building in the heart of downtown Salem, Counter is our modern take on a lunch counter with a dining experience rooted in fresh, simple, modern food.

Our Salem restaurant features an open-concept kitchen and dining for 50 on the first floor of The Hotel Salem and outdoor patio seating for 30. The bar, lounge, lunch, and dinner service are open to the public Tuesday through Sunday.

Executive Chef Justin Perdue has created a menu celebrating regional New England flavors, featuring clever starters, breads, and main dishes, as well as handmade pasta dishes crafted with our traditional pasta-making machine.

Counter is for the people of our small but vibrant city as well as for those passing through to gather over conversation, cocktails, and great food. 

We are honored to be a part of the Salem restaurant fold and the growing culinary scene, and we look forward to serving you!
