Finding a first-date spot is tricky. You want the place to feel fun but not forced, with reasonable price points lodged between “penny pincher” and “moneybags.” The Gallows is always a perfect match. The reliably buzzy South End gastropub has a liveliness that lubricates conversation (creative cocktails help too), and shareable plates like loaded poutine and pork belly pinchos suggest a noncloying sense of humor—just like a good date does.
