The Gate — Restaurant in New York

02/17/2023 about 9pm, not rowdy just came from dinner drinking tea.. Some sort of Guinness promo going on, we’re sold a Guinness and told about the printer. We’re unaware there was a Guinness rep who was MIA that was handling the printing.

Friend tells my partner to go print something on his Guinness, she’s goes to machine which was straightforward and begins printing. Angry beanie/goatee white male bartender and/or barback sees and starts yelling and cursing that she shouldn’t touch things that are not hers. This dude was straight up rude, aggressive and should re-evaluate how he speaks to his patrons or anyone really.

Maybe we missed the don’t touch sign but this wasn’t fully explained, the machine was out in the open at a table..

Edit 2/28 re: owner response: I appreciate the response but it completely skirts around the issue. The issue is how inappropriate it was for a grown man to be yelling and cursing in my partners face.

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...

​Nestled in this beautiful neighborhood, this bar is a true gem. The atmosphere is immediately captivating, with a portrait of Edgar Allan Poe setting the stage for a cozy and eclectic experience. Every corner seems to tell a story, leading you from the intimate indoor seating to a fantastic 'patio' that's perfect for a relaxed evening or hot late afternoon. The variety of beers on tap is great, offering local craft brews to international favorites. What truly elevates this place, however, is the barman. Knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate, he makes you feel right at home. It's a place where you can lose...
