We have stayed at The Gates Hotel on several occasions in the past few years and have always enjoyed The Rum Row Bar at the pool. Jamie has always been there masterfully pouring the libations. On this visit, Jamie was joined by Scharm behind the bar. I remember noticing people around the bar getting or picking up small brown boxes to go. I assumed that there was popcorn, chips, or some other snack inside. On our last night, we decided to stay in and order our dinner at the bar. The menu was surprisingly large and fairly priced. We ordered the Mermaid Style Salad with Grilled Shrimp and the Blind Pig Sandwich. Both were deliciously prepared. The shrimp on the salad was plentiful and large. Every bite of the salad was a taste adventure. The Blind Pig was also a work in itself featuring Smoked Pulled Pork, Swiss Cheese, Caramelized Onions, and Apple BBQ Sauce all on a Brioche Bun, served with fries. Both were served in individual boxes. This is such a cool place to just relax and unwind.
