The Gibson

Old-timey speakeasy trend shimmies on down to U street with lights so low everyone looks dashing, mysterious. Sizzle of dripping candle wax and the smart chatter of smart alcohol amid hidden booths and round marble tabletops. High-class, old-school bartending of the lost art variety. Sprig of thyme and fruit peel galore, drinks the Roosevelts drank. Wear a bowler hat or spats and swing a cane from your wrist. Reservations help you get past the unmarked door.
