The Great Escape

50 Saint Peter St
Salem, MA 01970
P. (978) 745-5022

Description:

The Great Escape is like no other restaurant and bar you've ever patronized. And those aren't just idle words; it's the absolute truth! After all, this establishment is housed on the ground floor of the 200-year-old Salem Jail and is located on the corner of Bridge and St. Peter Street (with the entrance on Bridge). But rest assured, guests are free to come and go as they please, and you'll likely enjoy being "incarcerated" so much, you may never want to leave. The decor takes a penitentiary turn via brick walls, granite floors, high ceilings, and areas sectioned off using the original cell doors. But don't expect gloom and doom, because this place is nothing but fun. Serving lunch, dinner and late-night fare, the menu features both traditional and creative Italian-American fare. Look for fine execusions (no pun intended) and whimsical names like Chicken Alcatraz topped with shrimp and asparagus in a Dijon sauce, Pasta Al Capone with Italian sausage and broccoli rabe, 14-oz. Mafia Sirloin Steak in cranberry port wine sauce, and Veal Siciliano topped with eggplant, asparagus, tomato sauce and mozzarella. Spacious yet intimate, The Great Escape seats 70 inside and 50 on the outdoor patio. Look for a full bar and Happy Hour Specials, plus plenty of parking at the Salem train station or behind the courthouse on Saint Peter.
