About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Charming
  • Great for happy hour
From the award-winning bar Civil Liberties comes Civil Works.

Deeply inspired by the building’s history, Civil Works features an imaginative Art Deco inspired design embellished with modern details. The space marries industrial charm with timeless glamour using vintage furniture and rich materials that evoke the spirit of an era. Located on the mezzanine level off Brant Street, this hidden gem overlooks the vibrant food hall below and offers a full view of the art installations floating above. The robust narrative-driven drink menu features cocktails, martinis, alcohol-free drinks, a curated selection of wine and beer, and a special menu of spirits paired with custom water inspired from regions around the world. Nerd out with our bartenders at the 25-foot communal bar and unlock your inner mixologist.

    Ambiance is nice. We were seated at the bar, which was pretty empty. But we were ushered to seats and told where to sit which in all honesty was just odd. Would have preferred to sit where we could have watched the bartender better. Since they are all about “mixology”. The cocktails we had were good. The food was decent. The server was nice.

    Checked out the Waterworks Food Hall. Started at Civil Liberties bar, located upstairs with a view of the entire building. All types of seating from comfy couches, tables and the bar. Great service by Rob, who ran through a creative selection of cocktails and noteable collabs with other vendors in the building. You can also get food from the floor delivered to your table! Fun spot!

    they accommodated our weird seating request but I really didn't like the drinks and the waitress took them away full and didn't ask why which was weird. overall wouldn't take away a star for that because it was just my preference.

    What a fabulous new cocktail bar! The cocktails are delicious, so creative and all have a unique story. Beautiful decor and vibe - and love that they pay tribute to the building and its history. We tried the tuna nachos and they were pretty delicious. And the service is beyond incredible- our server was so kind, knowledgeable and fun. He was warm and attentive and just made our evening a 10/10!
