CitySearch Tips

Save Time

Avoid long waits by making a reservation for one of the downstairs, inside tables--call between 12pm and 5pm Monday-Friday.

On the Menu

Soak up some of that alcohol by asking for one of the cheese-and-cracker combos.

Where to Sit

Try your luck for one of the more private upstairs rooms where you can cozy up on a couch.

Look Good

There's no sign, so look for a plain black door next to neighboring restaurant Marvin. Ring the doorbell for the host--if you don't have reservations, he'll take your number and send you a text when something becomes available.

FourSquare Tips

  • AskMen
    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.
  • TBD
    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.
  • Julie H.
    Go "off the menu" and put yourself in the hands of the highly skilled bartenders; I've never been disappointed.
  • Food & Wine
    This exclusive bar with a no-standing policy is all about well-crafted cocktails, both classic and innovative. The waitstaff flames twists over drinks tableside.
  • Kathryn Y.
    Sit in the back patio when the weather's nice, but put on insect repellent. Order one of the gelato based drinks.
  • Nisha C.
    Get the Sazerac.
  • Sam S.
    Go to The Gibson and order a Boothby manhattan, even if it's not on the menu
  • Sarah K.
    Act cool.
  • Colin L.
    Order an Old Fashioned, Aviator I or II,
  • Ana
    Best cocktails anywhere ever. Try a "De la Louisiane" or just have the bartender custom make something for you.
