Try a spooky cocktail The Gallows
This sleek eatery is located in a part of the South End where public hangings used to occur — and the Gallows drink menu is a playful nod to that macabre fact. Wash down your plate of cheesy poutine with a creepy concoction like the "Abattoir" or the "Skin & Bones."
