Review from Martin S.

While I think that, overall, Gate 403 is a great bar, the above four stars is not for the bar as a whole, but for the bar on Tuesday Nights.
While Gate 403 has a revolving selection of live jazz, for free, every night of the week, Tuesdays are especially great, as they are the night Julian Fauth plays. Tuesdays have been, for the last few years, a regular destination for myself and many others on and off the Roncesvalles strip, due mostly to the fact that Julian's style of blues (http://www.youtube.com..., but this doesn't really do the live setting justice) is so great for either letting sink into the background as a wonderful setting for conversation and drinking, or for sitting quietly at the bar and attending to.
Besides that the bar is notable mostly for great and friendly bartenders (except for Kate, who is really great and unfriendly), the fact that there is free music every night, and a good cast of nice regulars.Listed in: Favourite TO Bars

Review from Yvonne T.

While waiting for a table at Barque we came across Gate 403. Is the 403 in reference to Calgary? Perhaps the owners are from out West?
There is live jazz nightly, though on this particular night (Friday night) they would only be on until 9PM.
There is no cover to see the band, but there is a tip jar. The bar itself has a good selection of beers (both on tap and bottled) and a list of cocktails and wines.
The music was pretty good. The crowd was mixed. You had couples, you had solo-ers, and music lovers alike.
Can't comment on the food as I didn't have any. -

We came here on a Sunday night for a live jazz performance and casual drinks. It wasn't too busy so there was plenty of seating. The jazz band was situated right in the middle of the restaurant so you could sit infront or behind the band. No cover to see the band but they pass around a tip jar.
Service was friendly and quick. They have a good selection of beers on tap with pints ranging between $5-8, fancy coctails priced at $8.50 and house wine for $5/glass.
Food menu has the basic pub food with a few entrees. I don't know if I would come specifically to have a meal but it's an option if we're looking for snacks like nachos, fries or wings. -

Love this place in theory... but the music is SO loud that it makes it tough to enjoy a great conversation along with your martini and jazz... (BTW: I'm not even an old fart yet... I like my music loud and this place gets on my nerves). BUT, if you don't want to talk, it's great for live jazz.... The food is OK - nothing to brag about but not a problem.
