| - You know...I really don't want to tell you how cool this place is; I'd rather have it all to myself. However, I feel compelled to be honest: I had a five-star experience here.
I know others have expressed concerns with Citizen R+D, but after experiencing it for myself, I don't think there's much to be concerned about. Sure, you have to wait in a dark, smelly alley to be called up; but, that just adds to the mystery. It makes the whole experience more fun. And, yes, the drinks are a little pricey. However, a lot of the drinks are twice as strong as what you'd typically get at some other bar. And, you usually get a mini show while they prepare your drinks table-side. So, (most of the time) you're getting built-in entertainment and stronger drinks. It really all evens out.
Honestly, I can't wait to return. I recommend--not just for the show, but for taste--the La Flama Blanca drink (see my photo). It's so delicious. Also, the gin that bubbles to creation at your table is very tasty and well worth the extra time it takes to make. Not as much of a table-side to show to the Old Fashioned, but another tasty drink nonetheless.
Citizen R+D is definitely worth experiencing once; but I plan on experiencing it a lot more than that.
