What User likes about St. James Gate:
We visited on Saturday afternoon and sat at the bar, where we ordered Guinness beer and Irish shots. The server was unsure about the prices for several of the shots. We didn't order any food, but the dishes being served to other guests looked quite appetizing. The shots were enjoyable, although we weren't certain about their prices. We really appreciated the design of the Guinness! View all feedback.

What User doesn't like about St. James Gate:
At New Year's Lunch. We were not allowed to order from the lunch menu so we had to order from the dinner menu that was twice as much. They were made of a lot of menu items because they preset for the month of January to close. I was disappointed by my limited options, only two pieces of fish with the fish and chips plated.

It was wonderful, but now it's closed, and it's uncertain when, or if, it will reopen.

This is a fantastic spot for drinks and a bite to eat. The potato pizza with bacon and ranch dressing was incredible!
