Whether you are after a place to chill out or to boost your creativity and productivity, The Gateway is your place of choice. The Gateway is located only few steps after you enter the Old City of Jerusalem from the New Gate, the most recent gate giving access to the Old City. The Gateway gets its name from its proximity to the New Gate as well as the vicinity’s historical significance it once stood for: a passage or an opening that was created to link the Christian Quarter with the newly flourishing neighborhoods of the time built outside the walls before the Nakba. The Gateway is a classic Jerusalem stone sanctuary, decorated with oak woodwork, for those seeking a pleasing experience of the Old City of Jerusalem in one of its least crowded neighborhoods; who wish either to relax or revitalize their minds while simultaneously satisfying their curiosity in a city that stood the test of time and invaders. The Gateway welcomes visitors of all ages, of diverse cultural perspectives and of different social status. Guests can choose from a handful list of good coffee and tea selection and an interesting array of cold beverages, which they may wish to balance with their choice from our basic, freshly made selection of treats. To up the game for those who seek to reinvigorate their bodies and minds, organic house wine is generously served; a perfect match with our appetizing plate of charcuterie and cheese. So what else will you find in The Gateway shop? A collection of hand-picked books of rather specific genres, a delicate assortment of locally and internationally produced wines and spirits, and gourmet meat and cheese; all at very reasonable retail prices. In the end if you are looking for a hangout to unwind or to do some work, The Gateway team looks forward to your visit which will be a joy to our hearts as well as yours.
