    Booked a table for four and I was the first there. Hostess was really welcoming and friendly. Next person along I got talking about brewing and beer. Needed out on 90 shilling and Arthur's Last Ale. Great drink and food. Would recommend. My 4th Christmas in a row and each year gets better.

    Great experience! The place is lovely and the beer selection is amazing. Beers are rotational, so every time we go to OGB, there’s something new and exciting to try. Arthur’s Last Ale and Antwerpen Stout absolutely delish. Shout out to Marco, Davey and Antonio for the great service! Thank you guys so much for your attention.

    The renovation is nice, but I miss the somewhat rugged place it used to be when Open Gate started.

    Great, fun experience. Food is only small plates, but excellent quality- and ideal for snacking on. Staff were exceptionally nice, and overall we had a really good time.

    This place has changed for the worse, I have been going to this place since they open years ago and they just renovated it, sadly the food menu has shrank, only finger food now in super tiny portions and more expensive, its not a place to get proper food anymore with good beers, no more guiness burgers, and also the service its not as it used to, now you have to go to the bar and order there , seems they wanna save costs on waiters, increase the price on food and reduce the quality, probably i wont come back

    The staff was unreal, all of them super friendly and helpful. Really nice people, nice food and good value. We had some guests visiting for the weekend and they also were delighted! Also they made some renovations and the place looks so nice now.
