The Gibson Reviews
A true speakeasy !!! Hard to come by now that they are popularized. Unmarked door, looks like a vacant building. But once you get in it’s a pre-prohibition theme and they really stick to it - they won’t serve a drink that didn’t exist at that time (I.e. espresso martini). I recommend a reservation.
Kid-friendliness: No, you cannot bring kids here. It’s pre-prohibition themed and nobody brought kids to the bars during that time.
Cute, nice, quaint spot. Very relaxed and intimate speakeasy. The bartender Dwayne was amazing! Great drinks and good vibes I will definitely be back.

The Gibson is a true speakeasy, hidden behind an unmarked door that blends in with the surrounding vacant buildings. Once inside, guests are transported to a pre-prohibition era, with a strict adherence to the theme, including the menu and drink options. The knowledgeable and talented staff are happy to assist with pairing craft cocktails not listed on the menu. The ambiance provides a respite from the hustle and bustle of Georgetown, making it an ideal spot for a night out. Reservations are recommended, and kids are not permitted.
