The lineup includes a birthday party extravaganza, an El Perro Negro burger popup, a new highball and toastie menu, and bringing back some of their customers’ favourite cocktails over the last four years.

Recently recognised as one of the UK’s best bars at Class Bar Awards and National Pub & Bar Awards, the much loved pub is kicking off the birthday celebrations with a special kitchen takeover with renowned burger connoisseurs, El Perro Negro, on June 30th and July 1st. During the two-day popup, The Gate's kitchen will be transformed by the award-winning burger kings, offering an incredible limited-edition ‘Smash & Grab’ menu that will feature a mouthwatering classic cheese and chilli burger or dive bar double smash cheeseburger - two smashed patties, triple melted cheese onions, pickles with secret shack sauce. Guests can also tuck into finger-licking good hot honey or sweet soy wings. Tables are available from 4pm - 10pm on Friday 30th June and 2pm- 10pm on Saturday 1st July here

The Gate's team of talented mixologists will be matching drinks to the menu exclusively for the anniversary weekend with Naked Grouse to perfectly complement the exceptional flavours of the El Perro Negro menu.

Continuing the anniversary festivities, The Gate is also set to host a complimentary birthday party extravaganza on Thursday, July 13th from 7pm complete with a DJ and a one-of-a-kind menu featuring throwbacks to The Gate's menus from the last four years. The first 50 guests to join the celebration will receive special presents as a token of appreciation for their support over the past four years.

There will also be two-for-one toasties running all summer long to continue to birthday celebrations.

Andy Gemmell, the owner of The Gate, said: "It has been an incredible journey so far for The Gate, and we are grateful for the continued support of our guests and friends. We're excited to collaborate again with El Perro Negro for our kitchen takeover and treat our guests to a month of amazing drinks and events. Our birthday party is not to be missed and will be a wonderful night to share with our suppliers, friends, family and amazing guests."

The Gate has become a leading player in the Scottish pub scene, offering a unique and vibrant atmosphere, toasties, and an extensive selection of craft beers, cocktails, Scotch whisky and gin. The pub's commitment to delivering outstanding service, a welcoming ambience, and top-quality drinks have earned it recognition from both the National Pub & Bar Awards and Class Bar Awards.
