I rarely give five stars, and if the gourmet section of James Gate wasn't so mediocre I would be quick to change the rating. However, the bar and bar food are perfecto! There is nothing more delicious...

Love both sides of this place, although we tend towards the pub side. The other side has great "real people" meals that are nicely presented. The pub side tends to get crowded, especially around 6 ish...

This place is awesome. You pull up and are greeted by a giant mural of all of the Guinness characters, from the toucan to the billy-club officer. There's a huge patio which makes summer dining so go...

Best bar with a fireplace in JP! Cool local scene 'cause it's out of the way of alot of the neighborhood's hipster foot-traffic. It has a pseudo-rustic candlelit kind of vibe to it, and actually...

Great food in the bar. Same high quality as the more $$$ restaurant side. The downside is that you have to wait, and sometimes fight, for a table most of the time, at least in my experience. I also...

This has to be one of the most consistently over-hyped places in JP. The service is often surly (I was once given back the wrong debit card and had to go back there for it, the guy didn't even give a token...

I went to this place for St. Patty's day. I thoroughly enjoyed myself there. Friendly staff, good pub food, and a warm (and sometimes hot!) fireplace.

I came here on a rainy Saturday night recently, and my _only_ complaint was that the bar side was full. So, my sweetie and I sucked it up and wandered over to the restaurant side. After all, the...

This place really benefitted from the smoking ban in my mind. It is separated into a bar and restaurant that are open air connected, and it used to be very unpleasant as a non-smoker to eat in the...

If you want to eat really typical and non-imaginative pub grub in a really dimly lit place which looks like it belongs in the Middle Ages in Germany, which smells like stale beer, come to James' Gate....

When I moved to JP, my roomie was soooo psyched about having Jame's Gate-it is the "go to" of local bars...well, almost! There is Doyles near-by, Midway Cafe, Jeannie Johntstons are all just a walk...

The James Gate supplies the best pub food in Boston. If you are looking for cheap comfort food the pub menu provides a number of cheaper options than the restaurant menu.
