01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
With beers poured into distinct, brewery-specific glasses, GIBBON draws patrons looking to spend a tranquil evening. The shelves hold an extensive bottle selection—from draft Hoegaarden White to robust Trappist ales such as Chimay, Orval, and Westmalle, as well as tart, fruit-tinged lambics from Cantillon and Boon. Given the sheer stylistic breadth, consulting the master with your mood or taste preferences is part of the appeal here.
A natural match for these characterful pours is the house-made coarse-ground frankfurter with curry spices, packed with savory depth and gentle heat. Substantial and juicy, it pairs particularly well with richer, malty brews. The kitchen also turns out classic freshly fried frites, chicken macaroni gratin baked piping hot in an iron skillet, and house-smoked cheeses and soft-boiled eggs. Solo patrons can take advantage of a modest 3-item appetizer sampler, designed for easy grazing alongside a glass.
The compact room seats around 10 between the counter and a cozy corner table, offering comfortable breathing room to linger over a pour. Note that payment is cash only. It is an easy stop for 1 or 2 thoughtful drinks, whether you are unwinding or exploring the depths of Belgian brewing.
