The Gate - Brooklyn

Amazing service, excellent choice or beer…I love it

Probably my favorite beer garden in Brooklyn! They go all out for Pride, St.Patricks Day, and every day is great.

02/17/2023 about 9pm, not rowdy just came from dinner drinking tea.. Some sort of Guinness promo going on, we’re sold a Guinness and told about the printer. We’re unaware there was a Guinness rep who was MIA that was handling the printing.Friend tells my partner to go print something on his Guinness, she’s goes to machine which was straightforward and begins printing. Angry beanie/goatee white male bartender and/or barback sees and starts yelling and cursing that she shouldn’t touch things that are not hers. This dude was straight up rude, aggressive and should re-evaluate how he speaks to his patrons or anyone really.Maybe we missed the don’t touch sign but this wasn’t fully explained, the machine was out in the open at a table..Edit 2/28 re: owner response: I appreciate the response but it completely skirts around the issue. The issue is how inappropriate it was for a grown man to be yelling and cursing in my partners face. There’s a right way to handle the situation “Im sorry it wasn’t clear but the Guinness rep is handling the printing, standby we’ll get them over here” and clearly the staff chose the wrong and combative way to handle. Put a sign up next time.

A neighborhood staple! A day or night at the gate is a guaranteed good time. Always a good crowd, nice staff, and all around good vibes. They don't serve food but they'll allow you to bring your food inside, just clean up after yourself. The outdoor patio is super cute and during the summer, it's always busy and fun.

A trusted spot for great beer and a wide selection of spirits. The tap list is always interesting and there are plenty of options in bottles and shots. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
