Truly this spot would be an easy 5 stars but the service is fairly lacking, if I could rate traits individually it would be 3 stars. It's a small lounge so when you walk in they'll tell you to sit anywhere but that might be your last interaction if you don't kinda catch someone walking by. Getting a glass of water and a drink order in took a good while, and ordering food felt like I was asking the waiter for a heavy favor, it made the experience feel uncomfortable. But the food and drinks really make this place worth it. The frosted water Lily cocktail was delicious, it packed a flavorful punch of coconut with violet and once we did order food the plates came out quick. Each dish was delicious and well worth the cost.

The prices were very reasonable! Drafts were $7 and some cocktails were $11. The bartenders were super friendly and polite and talented! I really enjoyed watching them prepare five drinks at once without loosing a beat! The music was also great! They were rocking early 2000s jams. I ordered their penecilin cocktail which had ginger, honey, coconut and lemon with whiskey and it was delicious!! Everyone else enjoyed their drinks and we had a great time!

In full transparency it has been 2-3 years since my first and last visit to Water Witch. I noticed this in my drafts and thought I should complete my review. That said, I think I hyped this place up in my head too much before my visit because of the James Beard nod. So when it didn't quite hit the mark for me, I was disappointed. It's quite an intimate bar. By that I mean small space inside. The main bar has seating of course and there are a few seating areas directly behind the barstool area. There is a small walkway that separates the bar and the seating area. So the seating area is looking straight forward at the bartenders and the backs of people on barstools. I felt like the people behind me were staring into my soul lol, but that's a me problem ha. It's a modern design and beautifully decorated. I had two drinks. One from the menu and one that I told the bartender what I liked and disliked. He then made a drink based upon my taste. In my opinion it tasted similar to the one from the menu, which was disappointing because I was hoping for something different. There was one bartender that evening and one bar back, so even with the few people at the bar (I'd say 6-7 including me and a guest) and the 4 people seated behind us. It took some time to get his attention and order a drink. Which is part of the reason I only had two drinks. I would probably give this place another try since it's been some time since I've been there. As I always like to say. Stop in and judge for yourself.

I hadn't been here in a couple years but recently stopped by after a show at Wise Guys. They don't have a typical cocktail menu, rather they have you describe the type of cocktail you'd like with a couple words, and they make a custom cocktail based on your description. I personally would love a cocktail menu, but my friend enjoyed her savory gin cocktail she ordered. They also have a hot dog and veggie dog menu. There was one bartender when we were there and she was great. I just got a glass of wine and it was tasty and reasonably priced.

I love to go places where the staff is friendly and have a vibe! The food and drinks were so good! Tried several local drinks. Had the local beer and bourbon. Me and my husband shared a half of the seafood tower and it was plenty. He tried a house made ginger beer. I love exquisite!! He even was quite impressed! It was so funny both of us went to the restroom before leaving. So when we met back up I said I know you liked the restaurant, so what you think about the restroom?

It feels like the kind of place you stumble into by accident and then immediately wonder why more people haven't discovered it. The interior is gorgeous, parking is a breeze, and the service is genuinely exceptional. We went on a Saturday night and, surprisingly, were the only ones there for most of our visit. Aside from one other guest who left early, it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Instead of awkward, it made the night feel intimate and relaxed. We ended up chatting with both the bartender and the kitchen staff, who were warm, friendly, and great at what they do. The drinks were a standout. Creative, beautifully made, and delicious. The bartender even whipped up a few off‑menu cocktails for me, and the best of the night was their matcha martini, which he said he created himself. It was incredible. Even my partner, who normally avoids anything matcha, enjoyed it. We weren't planning to eat, but of course we "sport ate" anyway. The deviled eggs were great, and the small Pinsa was fantastic -- especially with the adorable little bowl of hot honey and its tiny honey dispenser (whatever that thing is called). We intended to take most of it home... and then proceeded to eat the entire thing. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Citizens is beautiful, welcoming, and serving food and drinks that deserve a much bigger crowd. It's absolutely a place we'll return to -- and next time, we're bringing friends so they can discover this overlooked gem too.
