Make it your own.

It’s all welcome here – host it, have us host it. Make it yours.

Around the corner. Literally.

Actually around the corner from town., CITIZEN shares a kitchen and our community with locals and far-from-locals alike.

No, it wasn’t part of some master plan, but if we had to take the block, CITIZEN would be a great 2nd step. With the triumph of town., we knew we wanted to do something more – something different.

Walk in with friends and family OR book the whole joint for a private party. When you’re a CITIZEN, you make the rules.
