  1. Stop deux on my hwy to Heartburn City. This review is strictly for their happy hour drinks. Me and my buddy binged on their $3 well drinks while waiting for our friend to finish up a meeting. The drinks were stiff and the bartenders were friendly. Can’t ask for much more.

  2. It’s pretty alright here. Bartenders are attentive, drinks are very well priced (I paid $10 for 4 drinks on a Saturday, pretty good compared to DT) and the atmosphere is relaxed. The venue is a bit small, but it’s a great place to end or start the night.

  3. Parking here is not fun, even on a weekday. There’s a small lot accessible from Gibson Street, but there’s no outlet if you pull in and find all 15 or so spots full. At night, you can also park in the Rising Sun lot on South Lamar but there are also only about 10 spots here. Street parking is free, but usually packed and also on an incline.

    I really dig the whole aesthetic here, though. The mossy outside, the chic black booths inside, etc.

    The staff was also super nice, especially the door guy with the long brown wavy hair. They even have a staff team that participates in the Tuesday night Geeks Who Drink trivia!

    Negatives? Smoking on the patio. The inside isn’t huge, and the patio is great except for the fact that people’s cigarette smoke is all up in your grill. I also don’t like that there are no prices on the drink menu except for wine.

    If you’re hungry, be prepared to walk outside next door and order from the Luke’s food truck, though they’ll at least bring the food to you in Gibson.

    Overall, this place definitely deserves four stars.

  4. Better than expected.

    Arrived around 5pm Friday and lucky to score an on-site parking spot. The place was already hopping.

    Atmosphere on the decks is very chill and bring your dog. TV sports, fans, heaters, whatever you need.

    Luke’s Inside Out trailer on sight and almost integrated is a nice grub choice.

    Why have I waited so long to come here!

  5. I’m currently here for free cheese plate Wednesday and happy hour! I’m drinking the half bottle of sauvignon blanc for only $13 and it came with a delicious cheese plate! This bar is really chill, they have overall good prices and great staff. They don’t serve food, you can get it outside from the food truck “Luke’s Out”
    Had a great time here, good vibes.

  6. Love this place! It’s a nice bar to sit inside and especially outside. Everyone is so friendly and attentive if you need something! I like that in a place. I hadn’t been here in a few years and this last Friday after my birthday dinner my BF took me here upon my request!:-))

  7. Is it possible that a place can be “date cursed”? Well the Gibson is for me. I have been on so many dates here. An equal number of bizarre verging on disturbing things have happened. Yet I still come. I always order the horse feather. It’s never consistent. So maybe I should order something else, but I don’t.

    I like the indoor seating  – large, cozy booths, dark lighting. I like the outdoor seating – tables, views (parking lot and the Odd Duck are views), cool people. If you get hungry you can order a sandwich from the food truck. Hey, why don’t you try the rabbit? Live a little.

  8. I’m ashamed that it took me so long to write a review, but here it is!

    I love this place! I used to live in the 04 and would come here all the time. The service is always on point and the bartenders really take pride in making good drinks. I usually go for one of their signature cocktails and they make them nice and strong, just like I like my drinks!

    This is a great place to stop by if you want good drinks and want to hang out with friends. I think it’s also a good place to bring people visiting Austin since it’s walking distance to a lot of nice restaurants and bars. Plus, Luke’s Inside Out Out serves food here and I looooove their shrimp sandwich!

    Again, definitely worth a stop!

  9. I went here on Saturday afternoon after a fun time with the pups at Red Bud Island… The staff was AMAZING and attentive!  We also made some new friends next to us.

    I loved the environment on the patio outside – very breezy and refreshing… minus some trees, you have a great view!

    They don’t have food, but there is a food truck that will walk up and give you your food after you have ordered, very convenient!

    Can’t wait to go back!

  10. I had such a good experience here with every person I encountered, I actually looked up the name of the manager. Kevin Kaliszewski, you’re doing it right. I loathe the Austin nightlife scene circa 2015. It’s all hipsters, lines, surliness, overpriced crap, and zero charm. Which is exactly what I was expecting of my night at Gibson. I could not have been more wrong.

    First, I found a parking spot in their lot. On a Friday. At 9:30pm. What? Then, I went up to the bar to order my usual Tito’s, and the bartender, Evan, asked me if I’ve ever tried some other vodka (which I can’t remember the name) but it was cheaper and tasted great. Score! Then, I got a table outside. On a Friday. At 9:40. Wait, what again?

    The deck/patio area is to die for, super charming and cozy. Then our server kept on top of our drinks and checked on us regularly, even though she was slammed. But the part that kind of blew my mind was the server who was walking around with a water pitcher, filling people’s water glasses. At a bar. THANK YOU!! I didn’t order any food, but everything looked great, and I will be back to try it out some time soon. Thanks, Kevin, for treating your employees with respect. It shows in the way they treat your customers.

  11. Gibson bar is great!  I have been here a few times and have had great drinks and a great time.  What more could you possibly ask for in a bar?!  

    They have decent beers on tap, a full bar and a great cocktail list.  It is pretty easy to get comfortable here and have some drinks and great conversation.  The times I have been it has never been too crowded or too loud, which is nice when you are looking to have some drinks and good conversation with your people.  

    I also love their back patio/deck … oh and they have food!  If you get hungry check out Luke’s Inside Out – it is super delicious!  I also recently noticed they have a board where you can buy a person a drink that isn’t there and it goes up on the board, so when they come in they see their name and get their drink – awesome idea to keep the locals coming back again and again!

    There really isn’t anything to not like here.  If you are looking for a good drink I would absolutely recommend stopping in!
