Citizen Public House is simply amazing! I went there last night with a friend and we loved it! Cool place with a great vibe.
I normally drink red wine when I go out but last night I decided to step out of my comfort zone (thanks to one very knowledgeable and helpful bartender) and try a cocktail. Thank goodness I did! The Moe'scow Mule was fantastic and exactly what I wanted. I told him I didn't like sweet drinks and he picked the right one for me. Vodka, ginger beer, lime and cucumber. It was refreshing and delightful.
Next up comes some little samplings of their flavored tequila courtesy of that same bartender. Now that is what I call great service! I actually don't like tequila but these were actually decent.
Choosing what to order for din din was difficult because everything sounded great! I decided to go for the AZ BLT which had bacon, Campari tomato, and greens all on caramelized French bread with some sort of mayo heaven on it. O-M-G! It was by far the most delicious, perfect BLT I have ever had! Seriously....I couldn't get enough.
After dinner, Richie the Mixologist came over to us and my friend asked about a Bananas Foster drink she had over at the old Estate House. Richie said he would make us HIS Bananas Foster drink to see what we thought. Next thing you know he is lighting things on fire with a blow torch and mixing it all up. Wow! Quite a show and the finished product was heaven. The perfect ending to a wonderful experience.
The staff is very knowledgeable and passionate about their restaurant and it shows. So warm and welcoming! Citizen Public House is a diner's dream and I can't wait to go back to try everything else on the menu. If you haven't been, you are truly missing out!!!
