St. James's Gate Toronto

Excellent ambiance and decor, and especially appreciated the Christmas decorations. Food on the pricey side for pub fare ($14 for maybe 5 onion rings!) but still enjoyed my time there.

This place truly captures the authentic Irish pub atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed the fish and chips, along with a perfectly poured Guinness. We visited with a few friends and had a fantastic time. The prices are very reasonable, which is a bonus. They also have an excellent selection of draft beer on tap. I would definitely go back and highly recommend this spot to anyone!

A really decent option for dinner, with the food being priced quite reasonably and the portions quite large. Our server was amazing and did a great job juggling our large and unruly group with many bill configurations. Only downside was the so-so band playing onstage. I would come again for a big or casual dinner.

Cozy local irish pub and restaurant with many seats and light music going. the christmas decor and low lighting made it so homey — weekdays are perfect for a chill date night. service was efficient and the Wednesday $15 burgers is a great deal - shepherd’s pie was hot and fresh but a little salty - royale burger was HUGE, good cheese, but patties could use some seasoning. fries were cooked longer so had the perfect crisp n crunch that not many places do. i like that - sticky toffee pudding with custard was great. quiet sweet — wish it was a little salty to balance it out. huge portion!

Great food & service. Loved the shepherd's pie, hunter's pie, ribs, wings & pasta. Our server was awesome and gave great suggestions. Loved the sticky toffee with caramel sauce she suggested for dessert. Top it all, here's live music too. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. 👍👍

I had a lovely Sunday brunch with my family at St. James's Gate. The food was delicious, and the coffee was strong and hot—just the way I like it. The atmosphere was nice, creating a perfect setting for a relaxed family meal. Overall, a great experience that I’d recommend for anyone looking for a cozy spot for brunch.

This place was highly referred by foodie on the block and let me tell you it was delicious. I forgot the name of this meal but it is basically a crispy chicken sandwhich made to perfection with juicy succulent meat with crispy coating. The fries were also made correctly and fresh to order. No stale fries here folks! The weather was in our favor despite the original ran forecast as we sat at the patio enjoying our meals. In terms of free parking they had a few limited spots otherwise you pay by the metre behind the restaurant 10 seconds walking distance.

Visited this place on a Saturday night. Our server was fantastic and catered to our needs well. The beers on tap were also great, but very pricey. The live music was also great! Although the service and atmosphere were fantastic, the food was extremely lacklustre. We ordered 2 things: 1) Double order of wings with a side of fries: half honey garlic and the other half hot. The wings were not that good which was disappointing. I personally feel that it was how the wings are cooked, not the sauces used. But at least the French fries were great! 2) Half rack of ribs with mashed potatoes. This dish was very disappointing. The mashed potatoes were probably the worst mashed potatoes I’ve ever eaten in my life. Also the ribs were not good. Although they were somewhat tender, the flavour was lacking. If I do come back to this pub, I will go for the beers and atmosphere, not the food.
