Outside in the seating area there were rats running around on the beams above (we saw three rats but there could have been more). I found it totally gross.
Food was good, but I was so disgusted about the rat situation that I really couldn’t enjoy my food.

Waited 45 min and no one came to serve me and my friend. The place was practically empty. They gave us menus and still no one came to serve us. The bartender and 3 other waiters couldn't be bother to help us even when we asked for assistance. Not sure if it’s because I was the only black person there, but definitely do not go here if you want any kind of service.

Staff is undertrained, prices are insanely high for the product or any product, the plastic ceiling and walls cause the sou d to be amplified to a point where the idea of hearing someone is a joke. The appetizers didn't match the menu in anyway. Shishito peppers for 12$ where you get a total of 15 peppers very over charred, and with literally zero seasoning, no salt, nothing, and then served with a cup of Kewpie's Sesame sauce. The menu says Salt and lemon pepper.
The fried pickles were very undercooked and $10, this caused them to absorb the dirty fryer oil, which gave me a severe allergic reaction to Pork.
You'd think Id ask, well I did, the waitress literally told us they had not trained her and she didnt know. I asked her to check and she came back with I couldnt find out.
The Burgers looked decent but at $20 you can literally get better anywhere.

used to be my dadʻs favorite place. We had his memorial here. Not even Irish anymore. No respect for traditional musicians either - I started a small traditional kanikapila, one braddah played some songs beautifully and i was about to play something and got shut down by the superlame bartender. I am so sad and disappointed. Goodbye, St. James. ?

Fun place! When my group went they had a great cover band and the space made the sound great. I didn't get any food so I didn't rate the food. The barkeep was very friendly, attentive and quick.

We have visited twice for dinner and a live band performance (Hairstrike, who are absolutely fantastic!) and had wonderful experience both times.
The food was great. I ordered the Keto Cheeseburger Bowl, which was cooked to order. Fresh veg, great dressing options. I’ve also had the grilled artichoke heart appetizer, which is excellent.
There is an indoor pub-type bar area with seating, a stage, and a dance floor area. It fills up nicely after 9. The ambiance is lively and fun. There is also an outdoor tiki-bar style area with fire pits. It is really a great option depending on your mood during your visit.
However, with all those positives, the service is a real highlight! We had the pleasure of being served by Teresa on both of our visits. She is friendly, warm, and genuinely cares about her customers. She made an extra effort to make sure we felt welcomed and was careful in taking our orders to ensure accuracy. Even when things were very busy, Teresa checked on us regularly throughout the evening to make sure we had everything we needed, as well as to remove empty plates and glasses. We always felt well-attended to, and never had to look for her to order anything.
And all of this exemplary service and attention came with Teresa’s bright warm smile. She is the rare gem of person that makes you want to write an online review to make sure the management and customers of St. James Gate knows how fantastic she is!
p.s. The bathrooms were clean and safe.
