    I enjoy trying cocktails at different bars and restaurants. Different places have different offerings and also offer different takes on the same drink. That is what brought me to Civil Works. I was very happy with the 4 different cocktails I had: - Whiskey Sour (not on the menu but my go to these days) - Spritzilla (I asked to try something sparkling) - Equilibrium (I asked to try one of their most popular drinks, btw it is also an award winning one) - Pounding Sand (I asked for their most beautiful drink) Their snack size food is of great quality (would recommend the sushi tacos charcuterie board) and very reasonably priced. The place is also exceptionally beautifully decorated. On top of all these, they have welcoming and attentive staff who made our evening that much better. We will be back with friends and out of town visitors. Highly recommend.
