Civil Works

Civil Works is Civil Liberties’ mezzanine sister above Waterworks Food Hall: 50 Brant Street, Unit 21, second level, an Art Deco 25-foot communal bar that North America’s 50 Best ranked 29th on the continent for 2026 (and Best Menu in North America on the venue’s own page). Official waterworksfoodhall.com/restaurants/civil-works posts Sunday–Thursday 5 p.m.–midnight and Friday–Saturday 5 p.m.–2 a.m., then also says closed Mondays — confirm before a Monday visit. Happy hour Monday–Friday 5–7 p.m. Reservations recommended, walk-ins welcome, email info@civilworks.ca. The narrative board (On Cutting Rug as of early 2026) pairs cocktails with custom water chemistry. First-timers: sit at the communal bar, not a far table, and let them walk the menu. This is a food-hall hide with a view of the hall below, not a street-front cocktail cellar. No phone is posted on the official vendor page.
