The Citizen
About
The Citizen is a neighborhood whiskey bar and tavern in Fenway, pairing a deep spirits list with craft cocktails and hearty food. Its shelves hold around 350 whiskies, and its signature event is a family-style whole roasted pig dinner, with a suckling pig slow-roasted for 14 hours and enough to feed about ten people. Sunday brunch is also part of the lineup, and the bar aims to bring locals and visitors together.
The bar has earned national recognition for its whiskey program. Whisky Advocate named it one of the Top 100 Whisky Bars in America in January 2025 and called its pig roast perhaps the most intriguing whisky dinner in the nation. The Bourbon Review has repeatedly listed it among the Best Bourbon Bars in America, starting with its first ranking in 2013.
