My wife and I stopped in here for some drinks before dinner on Friday night. Not too busy at first, but the crowd rolled in closer to 6:30-7:00PM. Very cool looking place when you walk in. There is a bust of a Tyrannosaurus Rex above the door; better than a deer. The inside has a very comfortable atmosphere. Lots of wood, and very smooth lighting. Sitting at the bar, you also have a wonderful view of the Cathedral, which is interesting considering you are sitting in a bar named after where people where hung. Service was great at the bar. Both bartenders were friendly and chatty and informed. Beer selection was above average but not immense. Their menu was split into draft, bottles, and cans. On tap they had: DFH 60, Delirium, Rapscallion, Pabst, Paulaner, Guinness, Dale's Pale, and Sam Summer. Prices were $6-9. For bottles, they had: Weihenstephaner, Stone, and Pretty Things. We had an appetizer at the bar, which was bourbon soaked peaches, and they were tasty and cheap at $3. Based on the great atmosphere and service, we both decided that we'll be coming back here soon for dinner, which has also received excellent reviews in the local press.
