From the owners of Marvin, and located right next door is The Gibson – a U Street area speak-easy-esque cocktail-focused bar. The Gibson gives the air of prohibition times with it’s unmarked door one can easily pass by without a second glance, website with only an address, phone number, and email contact for those wishing to set up a private party, and its dark cozy interior. While reservations are not required, one would be smart to make one rather than risk being turned away at the door for The Gibson only seats 48.
With spring comes a new seasonal cocktail menu at The Gibson featuring quippy drink titles including Things I Still Remember (a definite must-try), I Been Drankin’, and Use This Thing to name a few. Known for it’s quality and creative cocktails, we hear The Gibson is also not opposed to creating custom cocktails for the guests who managed to make it through the door. A great spot for all of the cocktail connoisseurs who prefer to avoid the loud, bustling crowds while trying something new.
