Citizen R+D

After attending the Unilocal VIP Experience, tried to go their tonight and was informed it was closed for good. Sorry!

One of the first and only «speakeasys» I have been to and it was so fun! Everything from waiting outside to get in to the rules of the bar (Women can only approach men) was great! Aside from the drinks taking forever to arrive they were definitely worth the wait! Citizen R+D serves some of the best cocktails in Scottsdale! There is nothing better than telling a bartender what you like and him knowing exactly what to make… true mixologists behind the bar here!

(Lyrics — Color Me Badd — I Wanna Sex You Up)
Come inside, go make a call, they’ll make you feel at home
Now let’s pour a glass of wine ’cause now we’re all alone
I’ve been waiting all night so just let me know when your ready for me
Cause I’ve been dying for your drinks and mixology…
Oh you make me feel real
We can drink it till we both fill up
Oh you know I’m hooked on you
And this is what I’ll do…
Let’s go to the R&D
All night
Oh you make me feel real good.
Let’s go to the R&D
Shhhh…yep the one and only speakeasy in the valley that I know of and it’s here in the heart of Oldtown Scottsdale.
I came here on a Thursday night with a gal pal of mine and we were so excited! Get the rules at the host desk and give them a buzz for instructions to the location; which is upstairs from the restaurant. As we waited for short period of time downstairs before the mixologist called and escorted us up. The place was pretty swanky with a minimal feel. Meaning there wasn’t too much to look at, but some framed portraits and some couches.
I ordered the Fallen Angel; aged rum, pineapple juice, watermelon, habanero, honey, eggwhites, and Saigon cinnamon. Overall, the favorite of the night! I don’t drink a lot of mixed drinks, but I can down this one anytime and all the time. The sweetness of the honey and the juices gave it a sweet and sour punch, while the habanero spice gave this drink some pop! Yummy and yummy again for my next visit! My friend ordered the Fear & Loathing Mezcal Margarita; in the end it was more show than anything and I didn’t care for it!
Along the way we ordered their Crab Cakes and their Tuffled Grilled Cheese. The Crab Cakes were done just right, but we didn’t care for the coleslaw. Their smoked red pepper aioli gave it a nice kick. The Truffled Grilled Cheese was awesome! We asked for extra tuffle oil and it really made the sandwich taste 10 times better! Crunchy, aromatic, and gooey, this grilled cheese sandwich is definitely one of my favorites in town! — Enjoy!

My fiancé and I had been wanting to try this for a while so we headed out this last Friday night. They no longer have you go up the back stairs from the outside, but you take the card from the hostess inside the restaurant and call with your number of guests.
We waited about an hour and then we were led up the stairs from the inside. It was pretty loud and a very young crowd.
The mixologists were very nice. We just really weren’t impressed with the drinks. Too complicated. Too much. Like they are trying way too hard. They were ok. Interesting but not amazing. It was more of a curiosity. Novelty.
It was fun for the experience of it, but I wouldn’t go back. This felt more like a place where the young adults go to pretend they’re grown up.
I preferred the dark sensual feel of a place like Merc Bar.

We ended up here because we couldn’t get reservations a CPH until 9:30PM. We arrived right at 7pm when they opened and checked in with the hostess at CPH. We were almost immediately brought up through CPH (not through the back like many people). I agree with other reviewers that this really is best for a smaller (4 or less) crowd.
Our group had a bunch of different cocktails, but the all around favorite was the Gin and Tonic. It was absolutely delicious (and I don’t even really like liquor). The prices are quite expensive for a cocktail, but we got two full drinks out of the Gin and Tonic, so it really wasn’t that bad. It did take a while to get our drinks because of the long preparation process, but we didn’t really notice that much as we were caught up in conversation. A few of the cocktails had really cool presentations that made it an even more fun experience.
I will definitely be back — I thought the experience and the cocktails were worth the price. Just a tip — they also serve the full CPH menu, so if you can’t get reservations there, go to Citizen R+D and just spend your evening there.

This is the place you want to go in Scottsdale if you want expertly crafted cocktails that are so delicious that even your tiny-​liver-​having significant other will order more. They’re that fantastic.
Citizen R&D is the «speakeasy» concept from the creators of Citizen Public House and with all the good food and drinks you can have downstairs, you should know that this is going to be the kind of place that really knocks it out of the park. You used to have to call from the back of the building to get in, but they’ve made things slightly less sketchy and all you have to do now is inquire at the host stand to find out details of how to get in.
Once you call to confirm space (no reservations allowed), you’ll be directed to a door back behind the bathrooms and a secret stairwell that leads you up to the space. It’s fairly sparsely decorated and no one is allowed to stand — if there aren’t seats, you can’t come up. I recommend getting there earlier rather than later as you can often find seats at 6 or 7pm, but the later it goes the more busy it gets.
There’s no backing on the seats, either (they’re all benches), so if you have a bad back this could be a bit tough for you.
That said, getting in is worth it. They change the menu fairly regularly, but you can always count on delicious cocktails and enough tasty bar snacks to keep you from getting to faschnicka’d. I highly recommend the Black Blazer, which tastes basically like a toasted marshmallow but you’re not going to go wrong with just about anything.
Small groups are best here — more than six is probably pushing it, and four is ideal. And once you’re done with drinks, go downstairs and have a full dinner. It makes for a great night out.

Honestly, I had a great time here this past Friday. I went in expecting snobbery and bullshit, given the nature of some of these reviews, but experienced nothing of the kind. I went for a going away fling for one of my gf’s and she picked R+D as it was one of her favorite places for a cocktail and her top pick for a G+T in the area.
We arrived at 7PM, went up to the hostess and got the secret number to call and waited about 20 min for our table to get ready. Granted, I did get a little antsy, but that’s mostly because I was starving and forgot all my purse snacks at home *sob*. Pro tip kids, ALWAYS bring a snack, I don’t care if I sound 80 years old, when have you ever been disappointed when a snack appears?!
Anyway, after we are seated, our host for the evening comes by, explains the menu and gives us some time to look it over. We’re also introduced to the mixologist of the evening. Every drink sounds incredible, I want them all. Our waiter was also great at explaining each drink and making sure we knew what we were getting into. The G+T my GF ordered was infused at our table, explained in great detail, we even got to pass around the gin and smell it. It may have been $ 18, but it made her about 2 drinks. My drink (honey bee or something) came on fiiiire! Our last round of drinks also came on fire, which is just so much fun to watch. I wish I could remember what it was called, but I’ll just have to go back. Who knows, it might actually be against the rules to tell you anyway.
The rules, yes there are some rules. Guys, you don’t get to be sleazy and walk up to girls and hit on them. Also, no swearing. I broke this a few times, luckily it wasn’t too loud and our waiter was no where in site. Flash photography, NOPE. The group next to us did get a slap on the wrist for this and my friend did mention she saw people get kicked out once for that. There were a few others, mostly, just don’t be an ass and keep the place classy.
Oh, we also ordered food (try the grilled cheese and the scallops, soo freakin good). The 5 of us had 5 dishes and 7 drinks + tax + tip = $ 50ish a person, not bad at all in my book. Some of our drinks were more expensive, while others had more expensive entrees, plus the experience alone made me not care about dropping dough. Would I go every weekend? No. Would I want to go every once in a while, especially on a girls night? Heck yes!
My advice, get there early! The place only has space for less than 50 people. If you show up at 9PM on a Friday or Saturday, of course you are going to wait. What do you expect? Also, it’s not some shit bar on Mill. You aren’t going to get away without dropping at least $ 20-​$ 30 on a few drinks, but they are worth it. The 2 drinks I had were perfectly made, got me buzzed, and came on fire. What more does a girl need?

So I had no intention ending up here. I came to have dinner, but without reservation to the place around the corner we were SOL. Someone mentioned that R+D opened up, and that we should try it out. I wasn’t impressed but the forced mystique of the modern speakeasy approach. By now I just wanted to sit down and have a drink.
10 minutes later I found myself at a low table, having a mixologist explaining how things were going to work and what I could expect. The evening had taken a turn for the better.
Ambiance.
I think it is absolutely beautiful up here. A minimalistic modern décor together with 2 mixologists mean a personal, even if slow, service. Wrongly I expected the clientele to follow suit, but anyone not-​to-​uncouth can get up here. The allure of exclusiveness is a false assumption.
Food&Drinks
The food comes from downstairs. The drinks are created in your vicinity by aficionados. It becomes what you came here for. If your poison is a solid quality drink that is tasty, interesting, and you are willing to pay for it — this is doubtlessly your place.
— Example: My drink was spicy from habanero in a «holy crappers batman, my eyelids are about to self-combust”-kind of way. But the adept mixologist swung by with some diluent, in my case a juice blend that was already in the drink, that adjusted the proportions for the guy (read me) that thought he could handle more heat than he could.
— Ps. the basic salad is the bomb.
Overall I really like it. I will not come here often, due to the fact that you pay more for experience than product, but I still really like it and I can see why some people might not like it. And I have a feeling that the people that put this together had that in mind. Better to please a few epicures that will keep visiting, and let those to whom this experience is not appealing to their own devices.

Thanks for creating an atmosphere perfect for a party of two of four to enjoy impressive cocktails. The Mixologists provided table service at the perfect frequency. Never did I feel pressured to place my next order, nor did my thirst feel unquenched. You were so Goldilocks!
The codes or conduct kept the bright flickers of the photograph-​everything generation from disturbing my evening. It was truly an excellent experience.
Stay classy Citizen R+D.

This is my favorite place to drink in Scottsdale. Aside from the fun «speakeasy» quirks, they mix some damn good libations here. I’ve visited at least a half dozen times. Sometimes I’m looking for a «dessert in a glass» type drink, sometimes I really want something bitter or bracing. The breadth of the menu has something for every cocktail fan.
If you like gin and tonic, by all means, try theirs. They use a double boiler to infuse 100 proof vodka with juniper berries, citrus and a few other herbs & spices to make a fantastic house gin. The night I had it, it had a really good caraway rye finish.
If I’m going here, I’m going to plan my night around it. I’m not a huge fan of waiting in line, so I shoot to get here close to when they open.

This place cracks me up. You have to know what you’re doing and you have to have some patience, but it is something cool to do that is different from normal.
It’s behind Citizen Public House in the alley. There is a sign up that has all the ‘rules’ for the speakeasy, including the contact number. To get in you need to call the number and tell them how many is in your party. We were told it would be 15 – 20 minutes to wait. So, we hung out in the alley by the dumpsters and waited… feeling like idiots. I’ve done a handful of places like this in Manhattan so I know that they are hit or miss.
30 minutes later we were told to come up and it was a hit. The lounge is very small and maybe has 8 tables. When you go up, your table is ready with waters and the menus. Drinks are about $ 15, but he drink list is not your average drink list (and you are’nt allowed to subsitute anything so picky people beware). I ordered a gin concoction and have no idea what the hell was in it, but it was delicious.
Drinks are made by ‘mixologists’ not bartenders and consist of random things like bee pollen, egg whites, nuts, you name it.
Very chill relaxed atmosphere and much less cheesey than I anticipated.
I would’t come here regularly, but overall it’s something unqiue and different.

If this concept was in a big city it would be a hit but this is Old Town. We got there around midnight on a Friday and called the # and was told it would be 15 – 20 min and we should wait at the bottom of the stairs. I don’t mind waiting but the bottom of the stairs is right next to the smelly dumpster that has been sitting in the 110 degree sun all day.
My friend got tired of the smell and moved up to the top landing only to be chased back down by the hostess when she went to let out another group of people.
After 20 min we finally get called and head upstairs. The cocktail list is AMAZING but be prepared to wait, our first round of 3 drinks took 15 min to get. The place wasn’t busy at all. It seats 30 but there were maybe 12 people there. They also have a separate late night menu than the one listed on the drink menu so we had to wait for the new menu before we could rethink our order.
I know it was their late night menu but it left a lot to be desired and if you don’t like pork there is like 1 option for you in the hummus plate. I got the porkbelly bahn Mi which was mediocre. No flavor from the pork at all and the pickled vegetables overwhelmed the entire sandwich.
The speak easy concept is interesting but I don’t know how it would ever work at this location Guys aren’t allowed to approach girls but are encouraged to send drinks to a lady they may be interested in. With only 30 people in the room, that doesn’t leave a lot of room for interaction with strangers. Also would have been nice to be informed of the 20% service charge automatically added to all drinks. Auto Grat makes for lazy servers.

So. Worth. It.
Definitely a «speakeasy». Find the staircase and call the phone number. Theyll ask how many you have and what your name is. A word of caution, if you try and bring a larger group here go right when they open. Cuz otherwise youre not getting in. This place in ti-​ny and once youre there, youll be there a while.
We waited about an hour to get in, even w/​a group of 3. There were 2 groups ahead of us.
Their cocktail menu is impressive. We all had 2 drinks each, all different. Cuz why not right? My friend had a Hummingbird lane (delicious) and a Dolce. The Dolce was her fave. I was lucky enough to snag a sip and man, it was good. Cream cheese foam?! Yes please. Her husband had an Aztec (his fave) and a GI Joe. This is an interesting one. Its green and sparkly. If you like really dirty martinis, youll love this one. I had a Blue Eyed Swizzle (very sweet) and a Fallen Angel (loved it).
They serve a limited app menu from Citizen downstairs as well.
We had 6 drinks and 2 apps, and our bill was over $ 100. Thats the downside, they add gratuity to every drink.
The mixologists and door man were very, very nice and attentive. It does take about 10 mins per drink to make so yes, you will be here for a while.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this place for a small girls night, date, or otherwise.

I visited Citizen R&D in October 2012 when I was in Scottsdale on vacation. I didn’t tell my girl friend where we were going because I wanted it to be surprise to her. It was our first time there and we absolutely loved it! It was quite a cocktail experience. Yes, the drinks can be a bit pricey but its not just some bartender quickly throwing liquor into a glass for you. You are paying for the impressive experience of having one of a kind hand crafted cocktails. We tried about 3 and all were delicious. I also recommend the bacon popcorn! MMM!
The ambiance was nice, the staff was friendly and attentive. The reason I gave this place 4 stars instead of 5 is that we paid cash for our bill and usually change is given back or the server/​bartender will ask if you need change back. This was not the case. Our bartender assumed the change was his for a tip and never returned with the change. He would have been tipped nicely but the change that we had leftover would have been quite a hefty tip! We finally caught his attention and he seemed a bit caught off guard when we asked for our change back but he did so and we still tipped him well.
Other than that, love this place and will be back anytime I am in the area.

Citizen R+D is one of my favorite places to have a unique cocktail experience in Scottsdale. Yes, a COCKTAIL EXPERIENCE. Set your expectations correctly people, the naysayers who have reviewed this «speakeasy» lounge have it all wrong. Take your negative Nancy attitude elsewhere.
This isn’t just some place where you come in and mingle with the rest of the people in the bar, and casually chug down your lackluster gin and tonic or classic martini. So don’t come here expecting to meet someone new, or drink «your old favorite», or pay $ 8 for a cosmo… that isn’t what R+D is all about.
First of all, the key to having a great experience here is being patient because it is worth the wait to get inside. Seating is limited and not everyone can get in all at once. Also, these are custom, one of a kind cocktails — they take about 10 minutes to make so you’re going to have to wait on those too. This is something that they preface before you even enter the lounge, so don’t think this is an in-​n-​out type of thing.
That being said, the drinks here are absolutely awesome, each offering something different for the senses via taste, smell, and visual presentation.
My favorite is the Honey and the Bee (whiskey) and my girlfriend loved the Barbie Girl (tequila) which is accented with edible glitter and pearl dust. For presentation flair I recommend the Fear & Loathing Margarita, a deconstructed cocktail that flips your expectations of a traditional ‘rita as well as the Black Blazer which is mixed table side. There’s only one way to describe that drink, en fuego.
Citizen R+D is amazing, and I will keep coming back. Cheers to a unique experience and one of a kind cocktails that you absolutely will not find anywhere else in Scottsdale.

First off, let me clear the exact algorithm I have used to come to this rating of ³⁄₅.
Drinks — ⁵⁄₅
Price −3.5÷5
Ambiance — ³⁄₅
Service — 2.5÷5
Setting — ²⁄₅
Food −2÷5
There you have it, no rocket science. This is a speak-​easy or should we say ‘was’. So many people know about this place (for whatever reasons). I have heard people hate this place for the way they are treated to get in there (even though they have open spaces up there) and for the price of the drinks. I have heard people love this place for the drinks and the personal effort they put in to make them, and also for the ‘special feeling’ one gets going to a speak-​easy place.
(Check the pics). I love the bloddy mary here, has a lovely smoky feeling. Check the way they make the drink, oh be careful dont just walk up and try to watch it, they might throw you out, bcs u need to follow ‘rules’ here. They make several drinks by your table as well, some of them a great performance in themselves and for that they charge upto $ 20/​drink. hey its circus and a bar together and hence the price: P. Black Blazer is the best example for this. You would wish the drink would taste atleast half as good as the performance or the price, but well guess its all about the whiskey. Please whatever you do, make sure you dont use a flash. Thats right, u will get kicked out. ‘Rules’. Oh I was rude earlier not to tell you about the ‘rules’, dont worry, u wont miss it, they have it displayed everywhere.
I can go on and on about the drinks, but I will stop. I wont talk about the dark alley, the phone call to get in and the long long wait to be called into the ‘exclusive’ club up, but this is all I got for today. I am a big fan of Citizen Public house and we need places like these, that r out of the box (for whatever reasons).
That said I love the drinks at Citizen Public house equally better, minus the drama and way more friendlier staff. Guess this is all bout making people feel part of a ‘special club’.
So to each one his own, and I like this place, and have been here many many times and wouldn’t think of any other place to have ‘drinks’. But you do get tired sometimes of the price they charge and more annoyingly the automatic ‘service charge’ for anything you order here. I hate it bcs the service aint as good every time but somehow we are entitled to pay them the full ‘service charge’ of 20% every time? Just wish this place gets better where there is a chance for improvement.

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.

Experience is the key word for me, when describing R+D.
It’s not often you wait in a dark alley to go someplace swanky. Once called, up you get a briefing and an Inquisition: «been here before? familiar with the rules? any food allergies?»
You get directed to your spot. Intimate as you want it to be… make eye contact and someone may ask you about your drink — or tell you about theirs. Don’t make eye contact and you’ll be left alone.
You must order from the menu. No tweaking (i.e. club soda instead of tonic is NOT an option).
Each cocktail is hand crafted and takes 3 – 10 minutes just to MAKE. Some are performances in them self! Dramatic flaming tequila falls; bubbling «gin» being distilled before your very eyes, complete with a lesson on the history of gin.
Prices range from $ 11 — $ 18/​drink.
A very unique special occasion experience!

What a cool little find! I first learned of Citizen R+D when a friend and his wife invited me out for a drink. When you approach the stairs leading up to the bar, which is behind Citizen Public House, you are confronted with a plain white sheet of paper on which are posted the «Rules.»
In today’s age of excess and access, I was a little taken aback at being told NOT to walk up the stairs to enter but instead to call the number at the bottom of the sheet of rules telling me what I could and could not do. Being that I was meeting friends, I acquiesced and dialed the provided digits. The guy who answered (Tony, coincidentally) was gruff and didn’t seem particularly interested or professional. I had to ask if i’d gotten the right number, the response to which was «Ya, how many people you got?» I responded «four» and was told he’d be out in 10 – 15 minutes when a table became available. Needless to say I was irritated to wait in a dark alley reeking of sewage to get into another cookie cutter Scottsdale bar that was more pomp and circumstance than meat and potatoes.
About 10 minutes passed and Tony the doorman/​waiter who turned out to be an affable big bear of a guy, came out and ushered us up the stairs to a door where we were stopped, asked if we had been there before (I hadn’t), explained the rules, what to expect and then lead through a locked door to our waiting table.
Once inside, I could see the reason for the wait. There are only about 7 or 8 tables depending on whether or not two have been pushed together. Parties of 6 or more are broken up so small parties are better. The room is intimate, comfortable and inviting, the kind of place you WANT to sit down with friends and share a cocktail.
R+D bills itself as a «Speakeasy,» harking back to prohibition days and therein lies of the reason for all of the cloak and dagger. Cocktails aren’t merely «poured» they are actually «crafted» and everyone you come into contact with is well versed in what it is they are serving and how its being constructed.
I’ve now been several times and though i’ve seen and tasted several different cocktails, I can’t bring myself to order anything but the ********GIN****** For *****Price***** you get a coffee siphon filled with a neutral spirit (vodka), and in place of coffee grounds, a mix of Juniper berries and botanicals which when brewed in the vacuum, turns to gin before your eyes. Some may think this a novelty but the food geek in me is just fascinated by this process.
Listen, if you’re looking for the «typical» Scottsdale bar, cheap drinks thrown together by a busy bartender who doesn’t get that «pouring heavy» isn’t the same as pouring a good drink or you want drink «your way» Burger King style, go somewhere else. At R+D the cocktails are expensive (even by Scottsdale standards), the wait for your concoction is between 10 – 15 minutes (worth it in my opinion) and you order what’s on the menu, the way it’s on the menu, period.
I’d like to tell anyone reading to go elsewhere so this little gem can stay a relative secret that I can always get into and enjoy but not sharing just wouldn’t be right. If you get a chance and are looking for a refreshing change form the «norm» drop by R+D and tell Tony that Tony sent you!
(note: ask for an order of bacon popcorn to munch on while your there, you’ll get freshly popped corn, chunks of tender belly bacon and though it tends to be a little bit greasy, it is the perfect accouterment to your cocktail.)

«Hey, we have an unused room above the restaurant, what should we use it for?» says one Citizen Public House owner to the other.
«I know, lets make it a swanky speakeasy where people have to find it and call the host to get in,» says the other Citizen Public House owner.
«Yeah! And we can make people wait down there for a while for no reason to make it feel like it is the real deal and the coolest new place in town!»
«Can we overcharge for every drink?»
«You bet!»
Now, I don’t know if it really went down that way. Heck, I don’t know if there are even two owners for CPH, but let me tell ya, R+D isn’t all that great.
My date and I found out about R+D from the bartender at Casablanca down the street and thought R+D sounds like something, lets go check it out. We walked over, talked to the CPH hostess in the main restaurant area and she instructed us to walk around the building to the back, pass the dumpster, go to the bottom of the stairs, read the instructions on the wall, and call the number provided and wait. We were thrilled! What a fun thing! This is like in Swingers when the guys say something like the harder it is to find a bar, the cooler it is.
We followed her directions, read the instructions, called the host and were informed they have some room so he will be down shortly. We waited about five minutes and another party of three arrived. It was their first time and they were equally as curious as us, not knowing what to expect. The friendly host calls us up and I joke to my girlfriend this is a set up and we’re goners. Before opening the door to the «speakeasy» the host explains how everything will go down. One thing that stuck out was that we were told that drinks are made at table. Cool. We get seated and receive a drink menu. Before perusing the menu I’m thinking I have to bring my out of town friends here next month when they come to visit.
All drinks are between $ 10 and $ 18, except for the one beer on the menu, which I think was New Castle for $ 5. Long story, short (too late)…I should have gone with the beer. Instead we order two cocktails. My girlfriend got the Barbi Girl and I forget my drink’s name, but it had some dry ice in it. Both drinks were way too fruity and sweet for my liking. Our waitress didn’t prepare them at our table like we were expecting, but brought it over from the bar. A little disappointing, but whatever. As we sat there drinking our drinks, looking around the room, we discover one thing. This place is boooooooring! It has a nice décor, very friendly staff, but man… kinda lame. Sorry.
Overall, we liked the whole set up as to how you get it, but once you’re in you get over it quickly and realize the drinks are just eh (at least ours were) and your getting way overcharged (there is also an automatic 20% service charge, so be aware of that). Frankly, I was hoping to see some bathtub gin on the menu, but no. What kinda speakeasy is this? Oh right, it’s not. It’s a bar in Scottsdale. I asked my beautiful girlfriend how many stars she’d give it on Unilocal and she felt two was appropriate and I agreed.
Epilogue: Remember the party of three that waited with us downstairs? They finally made it up ten minutes after we got seated and there were two or three open tables next to us the whole time! Lame. As we exited the bar through the main portion of Citizen Public House we said to each other how this bar seemed way better and wished we just went there. We’ll be back for CPH, but not Citizen R+D.
