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.

    Yummy cocktails. Perhaps some compliments nuts to go with the 25$ cocktails. Service was messy. Uniforms need to be tidy or not at all. Good vibe for a Wednesday night. Wary greeted and asked to choose a seat. I like that.

    A fantastic evening all around! This venue is great, and the cocktails are absolutely on point as you'd expect from the Civil Liberties crew. Didn't have any food so can't speak to that (grabbed dinner in Waterworks Food Hall before our reservation here) but otherwise A+ all around. The only thing that wasn't ideal is that Waterworks had a (rather unfortunate) singer in the food hall that night, and the sound carried up to the mezzanine enough to compete a bit with the music of the bar. Not the end of the world, and not much you can do about it given the venue's layout. If it was a better singer/band maybe it could have worked out better :-)
