The Scene
Springtime comes, and young Brooklynites' thoughts turn to, well, getting it on with other young Brooklynites. Where better than the Gate to while away a balmy evening while chatting up other cute, genial dot-com casualties and sipping a microbrew under the stars? The eponymous gate surrounds a patron-packed patio with tables situated for intimate conversation or observing the endless 5th Avenue tank top and double stroller parade.
The Draw
In chillier weather, the inside option isn't bad shakes either. The gladsome staff are well-versed in the minutiae of the astonishing, seasonal on-tap array and are eager to advise. Single-malt options are seemingly boundless, and the jukebox boasts a good selection of alt and rock classics. Pop in at happy hour, knock back an Old Speckled Hen and watch the world pass by.

The same thing happened to my friends and I as what happened to moudro. my friend was eating a cupcake and offered to buy me a round. I said thanks and off he went. He came back and said that he needed my ID. My wife said that was weird and I gave him my ID. Two seconds later he came back to our outdoor table sans drink. He said he went to the bar, gave the bartender my ID and told the bartender that it was weird, in his opinion, that he was ID'd considering we were drinking there for a while before the shift of bartenders. The young, long bearded bartender said that his job was to check ID's and told my friend he would no longer be welcome at the bar. When my friend told me this, I thought it was weird so I went to check it out. "Jesse", the bartender said the same thing to me as what my friend said he was told. I shook my head walked back to my seat and not 3 seconds later, "Jesse" said we had to leave immediately. We left in complete shock and wondered if "Jesse" was a bigot as my friend and I were the only people of color there. I hope that's not the case in 2008, however, this was obviously not a one time thing as evinced by other reviews. The Gate will not see me or any of my other friends at that bar again.

I am barred from writing my story by this site's guidelines, but ask that you do not patronize this establishment. My friends and I actually had to walk out of this bar -- leaving our drinks -due to the service.
