The Gibson expands to include upstairs

For The Gibson, lines at the door are just not acceptable.  In fact, they don’t even want to tell you where the door is located.  Instead, patrons are either flat-out refused entry or are offered a chance to leave their phone numbers where they can be reached if a bar stool or table opens up.

We happen to prefer this up-front, no excuses kind of approach.  It’s like the “he’s just not that into you” of the bar scene.  Either you’re in, or you’re not.  End of story.

But to help ease the pain of so many being turned away, The Gibson has decided to give us just a few more seats by opening an upstairs level.  The bar will nearly double in size when the upstairs level opens this weekend and will feature two private rooms that can be rented in advance.

They’ll be kicking off the whole thing at their Corpse Revival Halloween Party, which, for $75 for the night will include cocktails and snacks (also a new addition)from 8:30pm to 2:30am.
