Having spent most of the night searching for a place that could make a martini without asking if it was actual Martini that we wanted, a nearby pub bouncer pointed us in the direction of The Gate. We had nothing to lose.

As we descended, we could hear some wonderful retro tunes and was greeted by a beautiful, yet small, bar and dance floor. The decor was enough to let us know we were in the right place.

We asked the bartendress if she could make a proper martini. She seemed offended but also happy to have customers who cared... Just watching her make the martini was a privilege. The process was the greatest combination of art meets science. And the result was THE GREATEST MARTINI EVER MADE.

No kidding. This martini was worth the wait... not just the wait during that evening, but in my life. My friend and I were delighted.

We found the booth in the corner and were able to visit and enjoy the entire ambiance of the place.

Yes, the martinis were also the most expensive I've ever seen. But well worth it... and the price did not discourage us from having another.

Love the joint... and it's been over a years since I've been there....
