- Christina DinhMai 5, 2013In 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.
- Sam HAoût 17, 2015Get 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
- Karen CooperNovembre 13, 2016Cocktails 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
- Bitches Who BrunchMai 18, 2017Cheers 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. En savoir plus
- Katie RunyanOctobre 18, 2016Absolutely 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)!
- Ebrahim BandookwalaJuillet 13, 2017Super selection of cocktails , not too difficult to get in. Try the rip EPA and the 1900 drunk text.
- Mark BramhillJuin 25, 2016Loved the Self Starter and the Muse of the Warrior Poet. Nice speakeasy, great drinks and not overly pretentious. Cute back patio, too.
- M. SheppyOctobre 21, 2017Great atmosphere... the patio is quite nice, especially with the sub-titled films. The movies have the Mystery Science Theater 3000 vibe!!!
- Tia DelayOctobre 16, 2022Very cozy, intimate and chill. Suitable for date night. Loved it .. if you want to dance lost society is close by!
- Bob SpechtAoût 12, 2014Great 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.
- Travel + LeisureJanvier 4, 2013A 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.
- KatMai 26, 2014Fantastic 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!
- Leandro LageraMai 31, 2016Promises of what could've been is what I think of this place. Great cocktails. Great vibe. Great romance. Will cherish the memory.
- Valentin GuerinFévrier 18, 2017Good cocktails, nice vibe. Try to get a booth, or an outdoor table if the weather is nice.
- CaraSeptembre 19, 2014There 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 CintronJuillet 21, 2012these mixologist will bring u whatever drink u like and hulk it up, great atmosphere first date approved, each drink is smelled and they try it before they serve it to Make sure it's perfect for u

- Marc SchneebergerNovembre 11, 2017Amazing cocktails! And good decent snacks. Try the deviled eggs. Waiters are very skilled!
- Ellen S. P.Mars 26, 2015Olives are a great snack. Make it a priority to come when local bands are playing. Intimate venue with great drinks.
- TseOctobre 13, 2012Mixologist 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
- John NienartAvril 1, 2014Top-notch cocktails. Forget the menu; sit at the bar, tell the bartender what you like, and let him create something just for you.
- Mark HamrickAoût 29, 2015Great place for drinks. Don't judge by the exterior. Cool decor inside and terrific wait staff.
- Nicole KyleAoût 8, 2014Everything here is perfect. Just get the door guy to text you when your spot is ready so you don't miss out!
- NightSceneJanvier 11, 2011Mind 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
- Renaissance HotelsMai 31, 2012You’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 - Bob StaffordJanvier 21, 2012Great 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
- Arthur GueneauJuin 25, 2014Downstairs 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.
- Christopher SopherJuillet 23, 2013If you can forgive the occasionally rude folks at the door, this is a fantastic speakeasy- great cocktails, environment, and bartenders.
- Food & WineAvril 21, 2011This exclusive bar with a no-standing policy is all about well-crafted cocktails, both classic and innovative. The waitstaff flames twists over drinks tableside.
- Thaddeus PryorAvril 13, 2013Up stairs is great but the full effect along with the attached menu is down stairs....
- Justin EsquivelSeptembre 13, 2013Fantastic intimate atmosphere wether you're looking for romance or mystery this is the perfect night spot,
- Peter ParkSeptembre 17, 2014Drinks here are pretty wild. And it means both good and bad. You'd be wise to pick conservatively.
- Mark HamrickAoût 29, 2015Explore the unknown with rare cocktails and engage the smart wait staff by asking for recommendations.
- Peter WilhelmJuillet 18, 2010This 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. En savoir plus
- Greg ReedMars 4, 2012Try 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
- scott steadNovembre 21, 2010Tired 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.
- SneakshotMars 12, 2014Try these drinks: Glam, I been drankin & blood of Kings and ask for Frank! He's great!!!!
- Alicia GJuin 22, 2010My 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!!!
- Akshay AnikhindiJuillet 3, 2016Not 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.
- GourmetLiveOctobre 18, 2010Cocktails 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.
- Angie HarmonAvril 6, 2016This is the most DC of DC cocktail bars. They'll text when your wait is up.
- Josh HigginsMai 12, 2015Very expensive. But the drinks are fantastic and the speakeasy environment is awesome.
- The green olvies are delicious... The spiced nuts are perfectly saled and spiced... Mmmmm
