“ Great bar in a wonderful location. Love the outdoor space and cozy inside. ”
“ The Gate is one of the few consummate drinker's bars in Park Slope. Great beer selection. Healthy pours. Dog friendly. Outside food allowed. Awesome patio and plenty of space inside. ”
“ I don't know why it took me so long to write this review. I came in during brooklyn pride and there were two big boys behind the bar (love it). One of them was showing a bunch of chest hair (rawr). The place was absolutely packed and those two really held it down. I've been back a few times since and it has never disappointed. ”
“ Awesome draft selection & great outdoor seating ”
“ Great beer bar. Big selection of draft beers and decent enough hard liquor selection. Outdoor seating when available, cool bartenders and a nice wood interior. No food, just drinks, so leave your kids at home. Overall a great place to hang out on a summer afternoon and down a pint or three, or watch a weekend evening turn into late night. ”
“ Authentic Gothic dive bar with great neighborhood vibe! Awesome craft beer selection, and Freshest beer in Park Slope, always friendly crowd of patrons, and super nice staff. Their location can't be beat in the heart of Park Slope, across the street from historic Washington Park. Reasonably priced beer, and drinks. Highly recommend this place to all! ”
