| couple of ales, very average, loads of braying office types, load music (wouldnt be so bad if the sound system was half decent) one to avoid unless desparate moclips2002 - 27 Jul 2007 20:26 |
| A good second choice pub should your first choice be unexpectedly overrun by eejits. A couple of interesting ales plus one or two interesting lagers. Seating isn't too bad at all and the food at least smells very nice. peculiar - 28 Nov 2006 20:09 |
| The Gate is a pretty good pub, which has enough charm to paper over the cracks. In fact, I remember the crazy days of its "pound a pint night" on a Tuesday, which soon stopped after attracting lots of kiddie-winkies (as in young studenty-types, not actual children). Not a great selection of beers, but they usually have an ale or two on, plus Bitburger was a nice alternative to the clichéd lagers. The food, and wait time, can be quite poor so I always stuck to the burgers, which were cheap, good enough and processed fairly speedily. The aircon would often be too high in the summer, making it freezing cold, but for a couple of pints after work or a cheap and cheerful lunch, this is up to the mark. AleKing - 29 Jun 2006 14:58 |
| Friendly atmosphere but do not try and order the food! I have waited up to an hour for a meal on a quiet date and it has not been worth the wait! Steve1980 - 31 May 2006 17:27 |
| The Gate is our local in the city. Super for quick lunches, the beer is always good and great service and staff. rhubarb - 23 Oct 2005 18:45 |
