| - I have to admit, the first time I visited Gib's I was really skeptical. I went for happy hour drinks about a month after it opened. The house was stuffy, super warm, and screamed "HULLO! I'm a hipster bar!! And you better be wearing a unicorn sweater or an ironic pizza necklace".
BUT I've been back about 5 or 6 times since, and not only did they fix the ventilation, but it's really grown on me. The bar is set up like a house, so it has a really chill, laid back vibe. It gets a little crowded around dinner hour, as people waiting for tables at nearby restaurants come in, but it's great for late-night or early happy hour. The cocktails are delicious and while the menu changes, they always have a not-too-sweet option. And then, of course, the snacks. Sometimes Gibs gives you to-go snacks, which is basically the adult equivalent of a goody bag (even better given that as an adult you're drunk and facing the scary option of returning to your fridge where there is only a cabbage inside for snacks).
Not the place to go if you just want a casual tap beer or a sports thing, but a great place for a date, a semi-deep conversation, or a small group gathering.
