"You can dress The Gibson Room up or down, like that reliable pair of chinos you’ve worn to the last five years’ worth of qualifying life events. It can be good for drinks in under an hour, and there’s live music Thursday through Saturday to help facilitate breaks in conversation. Or, you could sit for an impressive meal of manicured bar food with descriptions that sound like nicknames sailors might give to one another: “bone marrow st. roe,” “the burger,” and “hot banana cake.” If a table feels like too much pressure for this unripe relationship, go sit at the bar and see if you have the same taste in prestige television." - ryan pfeffer
