A rum-forward tropical cocktail bar on North America's 50 Best Bars list, now in a bigger home on Trounce Alley with its first ever food menu.
Trounce Alley, downtown
More infoCitrus and Cane moved this summer from its old upstairs room on Douglas Street to 606 Trounce Alley, the little pedestrian lane off Government Street, and for the first time it has a kitchen. The bar itself hasn't changed its mind about anything: rum-forward tropical drinks with syrups made in house and juices squeezed fresh, from a $16 classic daiquiri and piña colada to a $19 everyday mai tai and old fashioneds that wander off to Puerto Rico and Tijuana. The new food runs to snacks and small plates like shrimp toast bao, shishito peppers and pork ribs, plus pavlova or doughnuts for dessert. It placed #87 on the 50 Best Bars list this year, which is exactly the kind of fact worth dropping on a first date. It's open Wednesday to Sunday, 5 to 11pm, and the biggest walk-in group it can seat is five.
Citrus and Cane is open Wednesday to Sunday from 5 to 11pm at 606 Trounce Alley, between Government and Broad. Reserve a table through its website, or walk in with a group of five or fewer; it can't seat incomplete groups, so arrive together. Tell the bartenders what you like and they'll steer you; cocktails run $16 to $23 and the new food menu covers snacks, small plates and dessert. Give it about ninety minutes.
