In true speakeasy style it is difficult to find. It is right next to the Marvin with only a hand painted writing on the brick wall to indicate The Gibson. Great place with the best well mixed drinks.

Get a punch bowl of just about anything and split it between friends! I had two other friends with me and we ended up getting three drinks each from the bowl. This is the one with chartreuse

Cocktails are awesome, & there's a back patio fire pit. Capacity is fixed/strict (no standing) so it's never crowded- a great place for intimate convos. Upstairs rooms are perfect for private parties

Cheers to The Gibson's impeccable cocktails with clever names, creative ingredients, and a backstory behind the seasonal offerings. We love this intimate spot for a date. Leia mais

Super selection of cocktails , not too difficult to get in. Try the rip EPA and the 1900 drunk text.
Katie RunyanOutubro 18, 2016
Absolutely love this place! Cozy booths, bar, tables & back make for plenty seating options. Great spot for a cocktail. Easiest if you make a reservation ahead of time (especially weekends)!
M. SheppyOutubro 21, 2017
Great atmosphere... the patio is quite nice, especially with the sub-titled films. The movies have the Mystery Science Theater 3000 vibe!!!
Mark BramhillJunho 25, 2016
Loved the Self Starter and the Muse of the Warrior Poet. Nice speakeasy, great drinks and not overly pretentious. Cute back patio, too.
KatMaio 26, 2014
Fantastic atmosphere, especially at the patio. This place has so much potential, but it's biggest flaw is its rude/douchebag/hipster doorman! Zero people skills and an attitude to go with it! So sad!
Bob SpechtAgosto 12, 2014
Great spot to duck into during a busy night on U St. Yes, it really is through that door! Every cocktail tried was superb, and service was enjoyable. Intimate but pleasant time.
Tia DelayOutubro 16, 2022
Very cozy, intimate and chill. Suitable for date night. Loved it .. if you want to dance lost society is close by!

There is no sexier place in DC than The Gibson. A date once gave the doorman a description of me, and when I arrived I was greeted by name and whisked inside to the appropriate table. Fabulous.
Erik CintronJulho 21, 2012

A clubby speakeasy serving classic cocktails. Order one (or two or three) of the old-fashioned fizzes or sours, plus olives or another light bite from the snack menu.
Melissa MonsalveJunho 5, 2016
Great cocktails (dark and stormy is my personal go to) and bar food! Bring a date here; it's a pretty sexy space for sure.
Marc SchneebergerNovembro 11, 2017
Amazing cocktails! And good decent snacks. Try the deviled eggs. Waiters are very skilled!
Arthur GueneauJunho 25, 2014
Downstairs and inside. This is how you go about the Gibson. Bar seats are the best as you can get personalized cocktails and chat with the bartenders.
TseOutubro 13, 2012
Mixologist is on point & knows what to make you from mere description of preferences. Al Pacino's South Side - way good & another one wt lime flame...& a spicy aftertaste
Ellen S. P.Março 26, 2015
Olives are a great snack. Make it a priority to come when local bands are playing. Intimate venue with great drinks.
Leandro LageraMaio 31, 2016
Promises of what could've been is what I think of this place. Great cocktails. Great vibe. Great romance. Will cherish the memory.
NightSceneJaneiro 11, 2011
Mind blowing cocktails in this little hidden getaway. For extravagant drinks be prepared for a longer prep time, and a dollar or two extra on the tab, but with his atmosphere it is well worth it
Lucille FisherNovembro 9, 2015
Old fashioned cocktail bar lounge offering classic cocktails from days gone by. These guys know what they are doing. Reservations recommended.
Valentin GuerinFevereiro 18, 2017
Good cocktails, nice vibe. Try to get a booth, or an outdoor table if the weather is nice.
Bob StaffordJaneiro 21, 2012
Great cocktails on their rotating menu, but give the server your preferences (eg bourbon, but not sweet) and let them mix something custom for you. Great atmosphere - no food though
Nicole KyleAgosto 8, 2014
Everything here is perfect. Just get the door guy to text you when your spot is ready so you don't miss out!
Christopher SopherJulho 23, 2013
If you can forgive the occasionally rude folks at the door, this is a fantastic speakeasy- great cocktails, environment, and bartenders.
Mark HamrickAgosto 29, 2015
Great place for drinks. Don't judge by the exterior. Cool decor inside and terrific wait staff.
Eboni ThompsonMaio 19, 2017
Awesome drinks! Great for dates and small groups
John NienartAbril 1, 2014
Top-notch cocktails. Forget the menu; sit at the bar, tell the bartender what you like, and let him create something just for you.
Greg ReedMarço 4, 2012
Try a proper gin , bourbon, or rye drink. Get away from vodka for once, you will not be disappointed. And do not be afraid to go off menu
Justin EsquivelSetembro 13, 2013
Fantastic intimate atmosphere wether you're looking for romance or mystery this is the perfect night spot,
Thiago BenicchioOutubro 18, 2016
Good (but not amazing) cocktails. Small portions of good food.
Renaissance HotelsMaio 31, 2012
You’ll need to make a reservation to pay $15 per cocktail at this speakeasy-style spot. And you’ll be grateful you did. For more local tips, follow us on 4sq or check out www.renhotels.com

Up stairs is great but the full effect along with the attached menu is down stairs....
Peter WilhelmJulho 18, 2010
This place is a speakeasy so there's not even a sign outside - how cool is that? It's the 1st bldg north of Marvin's on 14th. Grab a seat upstairs in the study and enjoy a mint julep. Leia mais

Tired of the attitude? Check out Wisdom for a relaxed cocktail experience right off of Potomac Ave Metro on Capitol Hill. Wisdom Mixologists will exceed your expectations. Seriously. Escape U Street.
Alicia GJunho 22, 2010
My favorite drink at the Gibson is the Pampered Moose - elderflower liquor, vodka, grapefruit juice, prosecco and a giant orange peel. Wonderful citrusy aroma - can't go wrong!!!
Josh HigginsMaio 12, 2015
Very expensive. But the drinks are fantastic and the speakeasy environment is awesome.
GourmetLiveOutubro 18, 2010
Cocktails at The Gibson are worth the wait. The Salad Days Sour is a blend of celery-infused pisco lemon & celery bitters streaked with burnt cinnamon.
Akshay AnikhindiJulho 3, 2016
Not as great as it used to be. They used to have really unique drinks, but now 4 out of 10 drinks are "classics" that you can find at any bar in DC. Go to PX or Columbia Room instead.

The green olvies are delicious... The spiced nuts are perfectly saled and spiced... Mmmmm
Ashley RMarço 7, 2012
Ask for the classic "south side" drink for a refreshing gin and mint infused cocktail!
AskMenFevereiro 9, 2010
The Gibson, the sleek speakeasy that treats cocktails like extensions of the fine-dining service, not lubrications for it. With some added space the waits should now be shorter for this A-List place.
TBDAgosto 2, 2010
U Street Girl says the Gibson has a relaxing atmosphere with no pretension. She recommends sitting at the bar (as opposed to tables) for the fastest drink service. Leia mais
Peter ParkSetembro 17, 2014
Drinks here are pretty wild. And it means both good and bad. You'd be wise to pick conservatively.
David MorarSetembro 20, 2013
Ted is the best! Ask for the "dry but refreshing" drink. It'll blow your mind.
ElizabethNovembro 9, 2015
Write this down: Sazerac, old fashioned and a bartenders choice. Cheers!
Matt BernsteinAgosto 8, 2014
Old Fashioned and Lions Tail were both great. Cool atmosphere.
