If the word “mixologist” is in your vocabulary, you’ll like The Gibson, where expert drink-makers will concoct a libation just for you, based on your taste preferences. You can throw anything at them: smoky and tequila or citrusy and sweet, or cinnamon and scotchy, and presto! A cocktail answering to those very whims is placed before you. It’s clear that they are having fun, and so will you. You’ll need to know that the speakeasy is small, dark, and requires a reservation for entry. On busy nights, you’re only allowed 2 hours here, but that ought to do it.
