The Gallows

"There's no other way to put it, The Gallows is just a really awesome bar. It's a neighborhood haunt at it's heart, with a staff that will likely remember your name as well as your drink order. The bar serves up inventive cocktails based on classic recipes often with a flare for kitschy concoctions. The food menu is made of risky translations of American comfort food like a grilled corn muffin with pulled pork, jalapeño pepper jelly, avocado and pickled red onion or the Carpet Burger topped with fried oysters, chipotle rémoulade, grilled onions and cheese. Daily poutines are an instant bar favorite. It can get a bit loud, but that's part of it's charm." - Adam&Co.

"The Gallows has been around for nearly a decade, debuting in the South End in 2010. It is part of the restaurant group behind Sally's Sandwiches and Blackbird Doughnuts." - Terrence Doyle

"Owned by Rebecca Roth Gullo, The Gallows is one of the South End restaurants she operates along with Blackbird Doughnuts." - Dana Hatic

"This South End restaurant gets its name from the fact that it stands on the site where Boston used to hang people in the 18th century. Pretty unpleasant. What’s less unpleasant, though, is the place itself: a gastropub with filling food and enough booze to make you start talking to the ghosts who probably hang out in the bathroom. We love the falafel burger, but they also have three different types of poutine, so there’s that." - Dan Secatore
