Tag Archives: South End

Saturday evening I met up with Tracey to have a cocktail at Noche. The restaurant opened in July in space previously occupied by Icarus. The former restaurant had been in the South End for years and it can be tricky taking over space of a beloved restaurant, but it has been so beautifully remodelled I felt no pains of nostalgia.

The bar at Noche was lively; drawing a handsome, hipster crowd of 30 and 40 somethings from the neighborhood. I only stayed for a martini (well actually two), but the food looked delicious and smelled better so I’ll be coming back to see if the kitchen can impress. Adam (the handsome bartender), pointed out they serve food until 1:30am. By the way people were packed into the bar, I can believe the kitchen is busy all night long.

Move over Coppa there is a new restaurant ready to open in Boston’s trendy South End.  If rumors are to be believed, very soon The Gallows will be opening in the space previously occupied by Sage.  Renovations at The Gallows are nearing completion and none to soon if you ask me, because since Pho Republique’s departure that block has sorely lacked a neighborhood restaurant. 

As was first reported in February by Grub Street, the menu is moderately priced with most entrees less than $20.  The menu is described as “contemporary New England fare” and will include items like stuffed burgers and fish and chips, made with a choice of stout or light beer batter, and served with handmade chips and malt vinegar aioli. Sounds delicious to me.  I can imagine hanging in the front bar which has dramatic views of the Cathedral and can offer interesting people watching.
