Good service - ordered a Guinness and the keg kicked so it took a bit to get my beer, which was totally understandable but they ended up giving it me on the house which was awesome of them

Why is nobody talking about the cowboy that is always reading at the bar??? I want the full story, we've never had the nerve of disturbing him and ask him what's the deal. Anyone?

Authentic. That's all you need to say about The Gate. Food is unexpectedly tremendous. All the Irish favorites delivered with the ingredients and service you would hope for. Staff is the best. #LOVE

St. James Gate has the BEST Cobb Salald in New York City. Well worth ordering. I thought nothing could beat Hair of the Dog's Cobb Salad, but thank the heavens I stumbled upon this pot of gold!

A good pub for hanging with close friends. They have a Thanksgiving Day Parade menu and deal!

Best pub in the city! Great drinks, great staff (heart you Paul and Kevin) and great music. P.s. Order the fries - you won't be disappointed.

The tall blonde barmaid doesn't want to serve anyone other than a regular. Makes eye contact only to purposefully ignore you. Lucky the bald Irish barman is friendly!

Don't be thrown off by the prices, buy-backs happen often. The high prices are there to keep the gin mill crowd away.

Good atmosphere and helpful staff

The best fish'n'chips I've ever had the pleasure to know. $18 is expensive for bar food, but worth trying.

Nachos so good!

The service is great! A waitress was helping the patrons in the bar area get drinks when the bar was crowded.

A place where the bartender actually buys you a drink once in a while. Great Pub on the upper west side

They have the best pancakes ever. If you can find better pancakes anywhere in this city, let me know. Plus, they pull a perfect pour.

The Irish breakfast will totally raise your mood score. Pair it with a bloody to improve your ripped score.
