Once thought to be another pandemic casualty, this influential DC cocktail bar reopened last year in its original space off the corner of 14th and U streets. Still hidden behind an unmarked door, The Gibson remains a go-to reservation for pre-prohibition cocktails in a quiet, dimly-lit atmosphere. Drinks rotate seasonally, and the staff is always prepared to mix up something off-menu or offer a suggestion from the vast selection of spirits on hand.
Its survival was in question for a while, but this pioneering cocktail bar reopened this summer after a lengthy hiatus. Accessed through a plain unmarked door on bustling 14th street, the Gibson remains is a staple of Washington’s speakeasy scene, offering a quiet place to sit and be served.
