The Gallows to Open in the South End

A new restaurant and pub is coming to the South End of Boston, moving into the space where an Italian restaurant used to be. According to Grub Street Boston, The Gallows will be opening in the Washington Street spot formerly occupied by Sage, which moved from the North End to the South End in the spring of 2007, only to close last fall.

The Gallows looks to be a local neighborhood eatery and watering hole, with an apparent emphasis on American fare and comfort food, as well as several beers on tap and a cask ale, according to Grub Street. Prices for entrees look to top out just above $20.

The folks behind The Gallows have been involved with a couple of Boston-area dining spots--The Biltmore, which is a gastropub-style restaurant in Newton Upper Falls, and Vee Vee, an eclectic New American bistro in Jamaica Plain.

Grub Street mentions that The Gallows hopes to open sometime this spring. [June 5 update: Last night (Friday, June 4) was the first official night for The Gallows. The restaurant will be closed this Sunday and Monday, and then will open back up on Tuesday.]

The address for this restaurant and bar is: The Gallows, 1395 Washington Street, Boston, MA, 02118.
