St. James’s Gate is exactly what I envisioned it to be: a local neighborhood bar and restaurant where 
the food and drink are consistent, the service is good and the people are friendly. I’m like an Irish 
publican who introduces himself, gets to know the families that come in and makes this place a hub 
where people like to gather and socialize. Someone who moved away told me that coming back to 
St. James’s Gate is like getting a hug. I like that. Come June, we're looking forward to FIFA World Cup 
fever when we'll have TVs indoors and outside for our soccer fans.
