Citizen
15 Dukes Walk, South Wharf VIC, Australia
“CITIZEN had a previous life as a café but we felt that the corner site was under-utilised and dark at night. We wanted to activate the space as a breakfast, lunch and dinner destination, welcoming people to South Wharf. Our objective was to create a place with great atmosphere, premium beverage and Asian food, inspired by the CITIZENS of South Wharf. Whatever you’re here for; a conference, shopping or staying in a local hotel, CITIZEN will provide a much needed place to stop, sit and watch the South Wharf world go by. Come for the drinks, stay and share some amazing food and great tunes.” Alysha Darcy, Founder.
