Graham Coombs left this review about The Watergate Inn

It looks pubby enough at first glance but inside tends more towards a restaurant, with the far end given over to a coffee machine and cake cabinet. Signs for gyoza and a shisha bar, allied with the apparent extraction of the staff, lead me to suspect an Eastern Mediterranean influence, which is not necessarily conducive to being a good pub. Just one handpump, serving an expensive if fair quality TT Landlord, with mainstream Eurofizz only on keg. The former car park through the arch now houses an outdoor area, a marquee, and some sort of function room but apart from that it has little to commend it. One for unfussy tourists.

It may well be an improvement on the Three Lions, but it's still not very good. Of the 3 handpumps only 2 were on and the selection was poor. It was pretty dark inside despite the refub and only 3 people in the pub. We decided to leave it and go across the road to the Walmgate Ale House.

Located down the ever popular fosssagte is the Watergate Inn (formerly the three lions). Since its refurbishment the Watergate has introduced more real ale is a slightly more upmarket environment but whether it like it or not this is still more of a local drinkers pub rather than a tourist place purely because of its location further down from the busier end.
there were three real ale on the bar with Moorehouse ruby witch, Leeds pale and Young's special all costing a slightly high £3.30 but all were in very nice condition and all were nice drinks.
This is perfectly good place to stop off for a drink and i would have been happy to stay longer, an improvement on the three lions.
