St James's Gate Publick House

Popped in for a quick drink with the neighbor, and this is truly a neighborhood Irish pub. The menu leans on Irish food staples, and while I've had better salmon and toast as a starter, the short rib sandwich had an excellent braised short rib that fell apart in the mouth, delicious, the bread didn't hold up much (maybe could have used a garlic or horseradish aioli?), and the shoestring fries were ok, definitely needed the ketchup. Seating at the bar was a bit crowded. Jimmy the bartender was great in service but busy, but the seat I had was right behind the taps so I didn't have much space for the plate of food -- recommend getting a table next time or watch where you want to sit - plenty of space for a glass of beer, but not for a plate. The half plate of wings - a lot of garlic parm sa

OMG! So close to me, and I didn’t even know about this place! Lovely bar—I enjoyed the food. The service is great. The wings are delicious and come in a larger portion than usual. The short rib sandwich is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend it. Nice environment—next to the bar is a kid-friendly restaurant. Perfect place to share a beer with friends and family!

The atmosphere is nice, the service is great and the food is good. I recommend the American burger. The drinks are well made as well. On a side note, the town is really cool to walk thru during the day & at night. It looks beautiful at night.

For those who like American-style Irish pubs, this place is for you. A family-owned establishment, owner Jimmy makes every feel welcome and appreciated. St. James Gate always has a friendly atmosphere. Seating options are sufficient, especially with the addition of their outdoor area a few years back: it makes for a nice, relaxed atmosphere where we’ve taken the kids a few times. Service is never rushed, very patient and capable, whether at the bar or a table. St. James Gate is a Maplewood mainstay, and one of the reasons I fell in love with the town.

Celebrated St. Patrick's Day here. Fun atmosphere! Food was great! I had the Reuben Sandwich. Guinness was awesome. Only draw back...no drink specials for holiday. I will be returning however, due to the authenic Irish Pub feel. Looking forward to more SHENANIGANS!😉
