The yuca emenadas are amazing! Don't sleep on the vegan option even if you eat meat. That being said, the beef is like brisket sand it's the best!

Absolutely amazing whiskey selection and really well done cocktails (can vouch for the barrel aged negroni/old fashioned), all at super fair prices. 10/10 recommend.

Part sports bar part whiskey bar. Good haunt for any whiskey lovers as they have numerous cocktails focused on them and boy they are sure strong. Did not expect a rowdy bar though, as there is a sports bar down the block; a lot of sport fans and a contrasting atmosphere of what to expect as a “whiskey bar”.

First time trying a Bloody Mary was here and oh, boy! It really put the standard up there for every other place with a bloody Mary! ?
The staff is super friendly, very helpful when asking for recommendations, even when it's busy they take care of you!
I really, really love this place ✨

Atmospheric, authentic bar, great atmosphere, worth stopping for a beer! The only downside is that the beer runs out quickly :)

My parents were visiting from out of town. They prefer chill bars with beer over nice cocktail lounges. I checked google and found The Gibson. It was truly awful. We walked in and the place reeked of wet dog. We waited to see if we should be seated or have someone seat us. Not a single person acknowledged our presence- mind you, the place was not busy at all. There were maybe six other people inside.We looked to seat ourselves a dog started barking very very loudly. Then there was another dog that got all riled up because the first dog was barking- explains the overwhelming smell of wet dog.I don’t drink beer so I wasn’t sure were else to take my parents. My dad went to order a drink at the bar. He waited at the bar for over five minutes without a single employee acknowledging him.My parents are very nice pleasant people. I’m a nice pleasant person who works in the service industry. We never spoke to a single person who works there in the fifteen minutes we were there. We got dirty looks and eye rolling from the other patrons when they heard me say it smelled like wet dog and never got acknowledged by a single employee.I asked a friend where we should go that was a chill atmosphere with beer and they recommended Skinny Dennis. We went to SD and had a really great time. The employees were very nice, the vibe was fun, the band was great, the other patrons were (New York) friendly.The Gibson is tragic. It’s a bar for living breathing walking memes of people who live in Williamsburg circa 2011. And it smells.

It's one of my go-to bars in Williamsberg. Bartenders are always nice as well.
