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.

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.

They used to have a dart board where my friends & I used to play darts while drinking, but unfortunately they renovated, although the place has more seating now. And the place still has that classic bar atmosphere that you expect.

This is a great place for a large selection of drinks on top, it’s very dog friendly, the staff is all so nice I can’t even explain. Going to the outdoor section, there’s plenty of space, plenty of dog lovers and is just a nice place to hangout.

I've been going here for years and I keep going back and forth over whether it not I like the place. I love it when it's not that busy. They have a large outside area, so when the weather is nice they are flooded with people and dogs. The staff is always friendly and the service good. Lately they have started carrying cider which is great since I don't like beer. Be aware that even though they allow parents to bring children, they do NOT allow strollers inside the bar or in the outside seating area. If you are going to bring your kids leave the stroller at home.

Absolute trash bar. Went to smoke a cig in the patio like every other bar in Brooklyn and the skinhead looking bartender yells at me. So I take my cig and beer to the sidewalk like every other bar in Brooklyn and this skinhead looking bartender yells at me. What’s his deal? No clue. Would I recommend this bar to others? No way!

Came here after a nearby work event, and experienced deplorable service — cannot begin to convey the degree of upset as a result of one of the bartenders poor behaviour. Literally left the bar in tears. Bartender clearly hates his job and created such a miserable atmosphere. Don’t get into a line of front-facing hospitality if you’re not interested or equipped to handle basic human interaction.

I’ve gone to the Gate for many years (since it opened) but had an unfortunate experience and won’t be going back. My partner got us a couple of beers and my mistake, I ordered a saison on the extreme end of that style (think beer-flavored kombucha). I couldn’t drink it. I asked if I could swap for something else. I was dumbfounded that this courtesy could not be extended. So I’ll take my business where bartenders are smart enough to know that one pint would have kept me coming back in the future.

We googled "dog friendly bars" and brought our dog here based on the results. We walked in and the bartender immediately told us that dogs are only allowed in the outdoor terrace area. Ok, fine, we'll follow the rules. Then another dog came in, and no problem with that dog being inside the bar. We felt that we were singled out and discriminated against because we have a larger dog. If you have a policy, define it and follow it. This uneven and discriminatory enforcement is extremely unfair and left a very sour taste in our mouths. The bartender told us that no dogs were allowed in, then blatantly contradicted that in front of us. Safe to say we'll never return, and we'll tell everyone we know not to go either. And we urge you, reader of this Google review, not to patronize this bar either.

I didn't have the opportunity to cross the gate. I arrived with my wife and little baby, a couple of friends and their baby. As we were with strollers, the bartender immediately told us to leave the strollers out. It was a terrible experience and I just can guess they are not comfortable with families going there as it's better for them to only receive adults in their restaurant.
