The editorial take
Citizen Burger Bar treats beer as a serious pursuit: coolers hold a huge, carefully curated collection of 110+ bottles and drafts, many from Virginia, and happy hour takes $2 off drafts. The bar also keeps a crafty, curated cocktail list, and staff can recommend a libation to complement a meal or mood. Spirits get lighter billing, though a recent customer account notes fresh coffee made for their Irish coffee, and happy hour takes $1 off wells.
