We encountered the Gibson by chance whilst traipsing around Old Street, Shoreditch, the other weekend. From the outside it's very discreet, with frosted windows; the sign on the outside is barely visible until you're right up next to the door. Once inside, you feel like you've stepped into another era, with cool music and dimmed lighting. The cocktail menu is extensive and extravagant (although the prices are reasonable). Feel free to ask the knowledgable and friendly staff for some advice or you might be lost for choice. We tried the Ponderosa (pictured below), which boasts a host of intriguing ingredients and is topped with beef jerky! Another option was the Wizard of Oz, of which the strongest flavour was the "smoked corn hair". The selection of different cocktails at The Gibson will blow you away!
