| Welcome outlet for Young's beers a fair way from their normal catchment area. daveinbrum - 21 Sep 2008 20:23 |
| Nov 2007 we used the cellar bar for our Mum's surprise 60th birthday party. The venue were fantastic - food was good and plentiful, the disco as recommended was ideal, staff assited with decoration and every need, were very accomodating with a large number of under 10s and no fuss was made about the large quantities of mess - party poppers and streamers galore!?! Thank you City Gate for making it such a special evening for our Mum, us and all the family and friends who came along. PippaF - 11 Mar 2008 15:56 |
| There seem to be less and less reasons to visit the City Gate recently. The food menu used to be small but good with some very nice specials - now it seems to be based around pies or sausage and mash. There is a nice beer garden out the back which may come into its own when the smoking ban arrives, but as far as I'm concerned the only reason to go there is because it's about the only place in the city where you can get Young's Special - and even that tasted a bit unusual last week - almost like they'd forgotten to dry hop the cask. Have they changed the recipe again? If you're not after Youngs beers in particular there are better options nearby. Trequites - 9 Jun 2007 17:46 |

| If I didn't know that the City Gate is in the Good Beer Guide and in my experience is usually very good I could have got totally the wrong impression last Saturday evening. The music was over-loud making it difficult to have a conversation, the beer was served through tight sparklers (sparklers on Youngs beer? In a Youngs pub? Not if John Young were still alive) producing an excessive head which the indifferent staff were reluctant to top up, the Ordinary was cloudy. Terrible, and embarrasing to take my beer connoisseur friends there as well. How can a pub vary so much? It was excellent just two days earlier. I'd suggest that you go on any other day but a Saturday evening. Trequites - 15 Jan 2007 13:53 |
