Citizen Cider

Not quite done for the day, it's time for another round of drinks and food. Citizen Cider was open until 8 so when I got here in a rainstorm at 7, it was quiet. Still serving and happy for the business. I chose a pint of The Unified Press and an order of the Crispy Brussels, both of which arrived swiftly. The cider was semi-dry with just a bit of sweetness. A perfect nightcap. The Brussels sprouts was a big portion and half of it went into a to go box. But the first half, I enjoyed very much until it was closing time. This was a lovely way to end my day of exploring Burlington. Nice warm spot, friendly service and great eats/drinks. I am only bummed that they were sold out of their non-alcoholic The Clean Mayor to bring a pack back home to my wife.

Citizen Cider served up some great Hard Cider on our quick, but good visit to this establishment! We dropped by Citizen Cider on a weekend afternoon between 3 and 6pm, the establishment was not busy. We unfortunately did not grab food on this visit as we were on our way to another event where food would be served, so we settled on a flight of hard cider and an order of chips and queso dip for a quick visit. The flight we ordered was of the sweeter variety of ciders on tap and we enjoyed them immensely! We regret that we couldn't dine here, but considering we cannot give an honest recommendation on food, we can definitely recommend the hard cider!

Stopped in for a flight and lunch. I wish they’d let you pick your own flavors in the flight, but that wasn’t enough to detract from the experience. Great service, good drinks, and creative food options. Loved the elote tacos!

We were planning to just grab a drink and then go somewhere else for dinner, but the menu here looked better than the one that was recommended. We shared the chicken sandwich and the poutine. I gave them 4 stars for food because the poutine was okay, although I wish it had more meat on it. The chicken sandwich was very good, though. Loved the vibe and atmosphere here.

Amazing little place if you’re looking to take a break from walking around Burlington. We really enjoyed the giving tree flight. Also recommend the watermelon mint feta appetizer.

Citizen Cider is a good restaurant close to downtown Burlington, Vermont - not the best restaurant in the city, but a good one if you’re craving gastropub-y food! There are a lot of great gluten-free options which is a massive benefit to this place. We got a couple of different non-alcoholic drinks made with their All Times drinks (which were very good), the fried artichokes, Seoul tots, Pine St. poutine, fried Brussels sprouts, and the Citizen smash burger - literally all of that was gluten-free, believe it or not! We had mixed opinions about a couple of dishes, but we did really enjoy the Pine St. poutine, fried artichokes, and fried Brussels sprouts. Maybe skip the burger we got - that’s my only suggestion. All in all, this was a good place with great service and definitely one we would go to again if we were craving the type of food we got. You will probably enjoy it!

Can’t believe that a Vermont company puts out a product in an aluminum can that isn’t returnable!!!! We are a green state!! We like the product but won’t buy it at the stores!! UPDATE to your comment!! That was a very long poor excuse!! I know that it’s possible to have a 5 cent can return in VT on cider because we drink Mac&Maple hard cider from Champlain orchards and their cans are returnable. Just saying you’re a VT company in a green state so you should care about the environment a little more. You’re producing a lot of cans that end up in the landfill.!! Make a call to Champlain orchards and find out how they changed VT legislation to have their cans returnable.

Delicous food with lots of gluten free options, super friendly and attentive staff. All the ciders are amazing, try the flights. Great for sharing so you can try them all. Dog friendly patio, even bring out a water bowl!
