Went on a whim on a FridayMight have been an "off night" I supposeFood - French fries were awesome, burgers way over done and dry. It's a pub, what pub messes up a burger??Service - there is no excuse for the service, multiple followups just to watch the server say yes checking on the item to then walk by the bar or kitchen and no action ?Atmosphere - Live music was great, we were there for 1.5 sets

The Irish stew and dip sandwich were so hearty and delicious. Terrific food! Homemade/in house, fresh soda bread to boot! Would return if I were a local.

A really nice pub on Kipling! Had some Pinot Grigio, Irish coffee, beers, with chicken tenders and the Bookmaker's sandwich with some sweet potato fries. Delicious!

Love having brunch here with our big group of friends. It’s one of the few spots in the city where you can have a nice gathering and not feel rushed or like you’re sitting too close to other people.The service here is also so great! Special shout out to Jake - he really went above and beyond for our table by being very attentive and welcoming.The food is also great overall - especially the brunch menu is pretty standard and delicious.Kid-friendliness: Really easy to bring in a stroller.

Monday lunch time so quite quiet for a catch up with friends. Great service, no hurry to vacate our table. Decent beer, reasonable prices for good pub food - what’s not to like!
Amazing place. Love to come here with my family or at night with my husband for drinks when kids are at their grandparents.

I have been attending The Gate for years now with local folks and family from Ireland when they visit. Food is always delicious and atmosphere uplifting. I love the innovation to their menu, giving their customers a new and fresh experience every season. Bands and events are always fun, and I have hosted many birthdays and retirements in their back party room. The owners are welcoming and open to hearing customer suggestions. The staff work hard and check in often, making sure we are taken care of. Lots of parking front and back. Have fun folks!

Kim, one of the few remaining longtime staff members was fired this morning apparently, in part, because of a perceived negative attitude towards customers. I find this assessment of Kim's professionalism to be particularly laughable since it is given by Bob-on-the-job, the Gates dour, overbearing and unpleasant manager. He speaks to customers only when spoken to and most of his time seems to be spent lurching about the restaurant with a piece of paper in his hand while he tries to look relevant. The heart of his mission seems to be making it to 2:45pm when he pours his first Guinness of the day. I would say it is time to abandon ship but it appears to have already sunk.A sad end to what was once a most inviting establishment.

Very busy at times so service can be lacking but the food never disappoints. I go there for brunch usually.
