The Gibson Room

The Gibson Room is a candlelit bar and restaurant at 2224 SW 22nd St in Coral Way's Shenandoah pocket, with a long backlit bar, live music and vinyl every night, and American bar food that includes handmade pasta and a signature flan. Recognized by the Michelin Guide, the kitchen (now helmed through a Miami Slice Hospitality residency in partnership with Ariete Hospitality Group) serves dishes like a Caesar with anchovy-mousse-filled croutons, handmade agnolotti, and a signature flan, alongside Miami Slice's popular pizzas and a smash burger.

The room, painted entirely black with flickering candlelight, feels equally suited to an after-work drink or a late-night nightcap, drawing a mixed crowd of locals and visitors for jazz, cocktails, and conversation. Expect a $30-40 per person spend, a lively but intimate vibe, and a menu that changes often enough to reward repeat visits.

It's a solid pick for date night, a solo drink at the bar, or a laid-back evening with friends in this quieter corner of Miami.
