This place is amazing! We came for drinks during the Halloween festival and had the Baileys & Mint Caramel and the Bootsie Bomb. The drinks tasted and looked wonderful, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was impeccable. They also had a special for 2 drinks for £10! We definitely hope to return in the future!

Visited the Gate Bistro after reading pretty good reviews on Google. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the service, and the food did not live up to the reviews. The service was abysmal. I waited a significant amount of time to give my order, and in the end I went and ordered at the bar. The food then came relatively quickly. I ordered the chilli chicken pitta. While it looked fairly nice, it was unfortunately a little lukewarm and I think they overcompensated with the sauce to cover up relatively rubbery chicken. I ate half of it and half the chips before leaving. The place was nicely finished inside and bathroom was clean, but the service was very poor, especially considering it wasn’t that busy, and the food was definitely lacking. Would probably skip this one if you’re in town.

After we put our bags down, we headed straight for Gate Bistro (recommended by our host) and it also had really good reviews. After a long day of travel, drinks and pub food was exactly what we needed. Although we checked it out ahead of time, we didn't have very high expectations, so when we found out that some of the cocktails were a 2 for 1 special and the whisky was cheap, it was a pleasant surprise! Since I wasn't feeling great, I didn't get to enjoy the food options as much as I would have liked but my husband said the chicken fingers were good and he really liked his Asian bowl. The atmosphere was comfortable and pretty lively considering how quiet the rest of the town felt the whole time we were in Derry. I really liked the decor and our waitress was very friendly and chatted with us for a little bit as we were getting ready to pay. She gave a few suggestions on things to do while visiting Derry. Even with the difference in currency now being in pounds, we thought that this place was a great deal for everything we were able to get and would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

My partner and I called in starving with no prior knowledge. We were served quickly and efficiently. We had several waiting staff check in who were friendly. Food was well priced, out quick and delicious - it made our day trip. One thing we find places take for granted is when you have a toddler but the staff here were friendly, engaging with her and made sure her food was out first. Really happy

Disinterested service. Really mediocre fish and chips, precooked then probably reheated in a microwave - soggy, tasteless. Woke up in the middle of the night with dry mouth, meaning the fish batter had been heavily salted. Very loud group of drunk, cackling people.

Hands down the best wings in derry. I am a big wing fan, and these are undoubtedly the best wings I've eaten in any restaurant in northern Ireland. The noodles were a huge let down with my teriyaki chicken though. I was expecting egg noodles and they're more like the extremely thin Singapore noodles, with out much flavour. The menu should have stated they were Vermicelli. But the wings were phenomenal.

The Salt and Chilli Chicken is hot, I couldn't eat it, but if you like hot then this may be the dish for you. The live music was great, he's got a good voice, but don't expect to be able to have a conversation once the music starts. The servers seemed distracted.

The staff were friendly and understandably busy on a Friday night. Our drinks arrived promptly and were better than good. Meals were ok I guess. The salt and chilli chicken was tasty but the stir fry vegetables served with it were quite limited - capsicum, onion, slices of chilli and spring onions, and a drizzle of sesame seeds. No broccoli, carrot, bean sprouts, mushroom, pak choy, zucchini etc. My chicken curry was good as far as it went, but again very little veg.

The Gate has changed, and not for the better. It used to be a favourite place for eating out, sadly no longer. Although the staff are excellent, the menu has changed, and the food itself is now nowhere near the quality expected of this place. Bring back the old menu and the quality food that we previously enjoyed!

Been here a couple of times when visiting the city and it’s never disappointed. Seated quickly and drinks also arrived quickly. Food followed that pattern. I had the steak and chicken combo which was excellent. It was very filling and by the end I was struggling to finish. Beautiful sauce with it and smoky crispy tobacco onions 🤤. Fairly central in the city so very convenient to get to.

Mix up in drinks, starters, no cutlery for our starters or main courses had to ask on both occasions for a staff member to get us the cutlery, 2 napkins for 4 of us, it wasn't particularly busy when we were in either. I'd recommend the food but I would be slow to return for the service.

It ment a lot that the staff are aware of the sunflower lanyard and made my Child's visit very special. It's great to see a local business aware of hidden disabilities. Definitely a hidden gem and a place of quiet rest and relaxation during the week or excellent local lively music at the weekend. A experience you won't forget.
