St. James's Gate Irish Alehouse

St James’s Gate is a wonderful place with delicious food and amazing service. I have been going since I was a wee lass, and have never had a bad experience. The servers are energetic and friendly, the food never misses and the live music is wonderful. It’s an amazing hidden gem. I would 100% recommend it.

This place is good for standard pub food, drinks and live music. They have a back patio and a front patio. My husband, a couple of friends, a couple of family members and I enjoy coming here.

The food wasn’t great, neither the sweet potato chips were crispy/chrunchy nor the potato chips that came with Chicken fingers (both soggy)Another thing — They charged us 18% on the bill plus 18% I tipped, on questioning the 18% on the bill, the waiter said that the initial 18% was towards the house, while the other 18% on top of the total of $150 was for the waiter. So I paid $178 in total for a bill of 3 pitchers, 1 chicken fingers and 1 sweet potato fires.

Staff were lovely as always, but the removal of all daily specials is a significant setback. If the management doesn't reconsider these changes, I fear they may lose more loyal customers like myself who enjoyed the unique offerings and affordability that set this bar apart from the Crooked Cue.

Good atmosphere but the food was awful! Cold fried that tasted like leftover. Don't waste your money on food here. Service is also very slow.
