    Burger
    Kevin F.

    Driving around looking for lunch and passed by this place and decided to give it a try. And good thing we did. Kids sliders, pesto wrap, and burger. All were good. Burger sauce has a bit of a kick. Cooked well. Fries were seasoned well also. Located outside of the downtown area so it has a parking lot. Make sure you don't park in the post office lot. Put this on your list.

    I had wanted to try Citizen Cider for awhile. The parking lot made our decision final, I appreciate parking in Burlington as it is sometimes a challenge. Our server hostess was attentive on and friendly. We had the cheese curds with hot honey to start which were yummy on a cold wintry night. We also both had the hot cocoa with baileys and vanilla vodka that came with whipped cream they hit the spot! My garlic bread grilled cheese with "tomato basil dip" and fries was ok, the dip is disgusting just a bowl of tomato paste. My daughter got the smashed cheeseburger and gobbled it up. We will return for ciders on the deck in warmer weather!

    We stumbled on this place while exploring Burlington, and what a great place! They have a ton of ciders, cocktails,craft beers, and even some mocktails. They offer a variety of appetizers, sides, and burgers as well, but we just stopped in for a drink. We ordered a flight, fan favorites, and enjoyed all of them. The Dirty Mayor was the best in our opinion, but the very close second was the Americran! Staff is quick and knowledgeable about the drinks and flavors. They have plenty of seating inside and a nice patio, where we were able to get a table. You get a view of the lake of in the distance, and the area is pretty quiet, away from the chaos of downtown a few blocks away. There is a decent parking lot but also signs to direct you to other parking if needed.

    We were so excited to stop in here as our first stop on our day trip to Vermont while on vacation in Lake George, NY (second week of May). We found parking in the lot right in front! Walked in and were told they were having plumbing issues so they couldn't serve us, anything. So we made the best of it and bought a mixed case of cider! The staff was super friendly! They do have indoor and outdoor seating so on a nice day outside would be perfect! We definitely want to visit Vermont again so we will stop in next time to spend more time there!

    Their house made veggie burger was one of the best while traveling through Burlington. The town in general was good for actual, house-made veggie burgers. So often restaurants take the lazy route and use a manufactured meat substitute or frozen Patty. Their ciders are top notch! A fun variety for everyone, even if you don't like cider. They had so many options from dry to sweet. My favorite was the dirty mayor a ginger cider. Service was great! We would recommend this stop and definitely be back on our next trip!

    This is always one of my first stops whenever I'm in Vermont. I've never been much of a beer drinker and have always leaned more towards cider. Citizen Cider has some of the best, most unique flavors of cider - can y'all come out to Utah?! We stopped by for an early lunch on Sunday and were told they just released a new menu. I was honestly a little overwhelmed by it - there were so many amazing choices for cocktails and food! I started off with their cider/mimosa special which I believe they only serve on the weekends? It was delicious. I then moved on to their "Stick Season" cocktail, aptly named after Vermont's season between fall and winter and the viral TikTok sound. It was SO yummy. They had so many cocktails and cider options to choose from, and also had some pre-curated cider flights that you can order which we appreciated! We ordered the pretzel bites as an appetizer and holy crap, they were AMAZING. Definitely get the pretzel bites! Perfectly salted, deliciously doughy and perfect, and the beer cheese it comes with?! WOW. We kept it on the table and used it as a dipping sauce for our french fries when our main dishes arrived. I got the kale caesar salad with a veggie patty on top. Their veggie patties are really unique and interesting, I really enjoyed it! The caesar came with shaved parm and the perfect amount of dressing. They offer a small and a large salad size, and I would recommend the small especially if you're ordering it with a protein. The small was the perfect size, and the kale was very filling. To top it off, our server was incredible. I didn't catch her name, but a huge shout out to the host/server who was working on Sunday morning (11/20). She was so lovely and kind. Can't wait for the next time to stop by! Citizen Cider is on my short list of places I always visit when I'm in town.

    A must stop when you are in Burlington. They have flights of cider and we literally tried them all and there wasn't one I didn't like. Not too sweet and you can actually taste the fruit or whatever flavor profile they are trying to accomplish. We only got pretzels with cheese but all the food looked really good and they had lots of pub food options. The bar tender was super nice and the vibe was fun. They had lots of seating and a big bar and in the summer a whole outside to sit out.

    The pours are not even half full!
    Chance K.

    Main takeaway: do not order a flight. The cider here was decent and they have some creative flavors. Unfortunately, the service was quite underwhelming and frankly, rude. My boyfriend and I wanted to sample a few ciders, so we ordered a flight. The bartender did not even fill the taster glasses half full, and to pour salt on the wound, the "draft" cocktail was poured directly from a can. There was maybe one sip of each cider. When I returned to the bar to ask for fairer pours, the bartender ignored me. They should either get smaller glasses or call it a "tasting flight." Either way, the experience left a bad taste in our mouthes and I wouldn't recommend others to stop by. Go to a brewery instead!

    Came here with a big group of people during a trip to Burlington and we had a great time! Knocked off a star only because we had to wait a long time for a table to be bussed so that we could sit there, even though it wasn't super busy. But the food was really good and the drinks were amazing!

    Located in the South End of Burlington. I like Ciders, so this was a must visit. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and we sat the bar. It was a Friday afternoon and not very crowded. When you walk in, there is all the ciders available to purchase. We tried the Giving Tree Flight. I was excited to try the Radler included, but surprisingly the Sweet Tooth Cider was my favorite, even though sweet . They have a decent selection of merchandise ! Overall, a refershing afternoon stop.

    Dirty mayor
    Monica S.

    We got the flight first. The one with the Dirty Mayor. And we were so smitten by this that we ended up bringing 2 packs of the ciders home. All the ciders were very good and refreshing. We also got the Brussels sprouts to pair with. Amazing flavors and very warm service. I look forward to being back there again. We have had a variety of hard ciders but so far nothing has come even remotely close to Dirty Mayor.

    Grilled Cheese and Basil Tomato Dip

    I have to tell you their food was very delicious and cider was great! I think if I went back. I think I'd have the grilled cheese and the soup. The person I was with really enjoyed it, not that I didn't enjoy my sandwich but his look more satisfying.

    Korean BBQ Tacos
    Dan D.

    Despite the ready availability of Citizen product all over the northeast, it's worth coming here for the unique brewery-only flavors and the fantastic bar food they serve with it. I demolished the Korean BBQ tacos. The balance of textures came together in every bite: pulled chicken, a toasted tortilla, and a creamy mayo perfectly pierced by acidic cabbage. I couldn't resist ordering the kimchi dog after that. I wish the color inside had been less pink, but the roasted skin, moist beef, spicy kimchi mayo and toasted, halfway-cut bun made it tasty and textured. For drinks, I went the Dirty Mayor - which adds a ginger complement to their standard Unified Cider - and a mango passion fruit seltzer, which I wanted to be sweeter. I originally tried the Five Sisters Fizz cocktail, but sent it back for having too much aperol. They apologized. All in all, a glorious place to bask in the golden hour sunset.

    Tulsi, wonderful basil cider!

    Can I get a shipment of Citizen Cider delivered to my home?

    Wishful thinking! Unfortunately no, however, they are available at most grocery stores in VT.

    Is the taproom dog friendly this time of year?

    During the summer when their deck is open dogs are allowed there. Inside the tasting room, since they serve food, they are not.

    I love exploring new cider places, and on my trip to Stowe, I was excited to see Stowe Cider…read morevisible from the road with plenty of parking. We went just for drinks. We elected to sit outside on the deck under an umbrella. We could hear the band from the Japanese restaurant next door. I ordered a flight which consisted of four ciders that I could choose. The server wrote the initials of my choices on a board and told me what they were. I ordered less sweet, more dry kinds. There were subtle differences between them based on the fruit notes. I did miss getting a Huckleberry flavor like I do when I go to Washington state. Our server was upbeat and friendly even though we only ordered drinks. Tip: To enter, use the doors that say "use other door," I thought the arrow was saying go to an entrance around the building but that was an employee only door.

    My wife and I love cider. And there is no better place to get cider than where they grow the apples…read morethemselves. It was a cold and rainy day so the cider house was a little slow but that didn't stop the cider from flowing! The space is very nice and open with tons of seating inside as well as outside {when the day's are nicer}. The people working are great! Everyone is awesome, greeting you with a smile and helping you with recommendations as their menu is extensive. Next time we're in town we will definitely take more time there.
