3676 N Ponce De Leon Blvd Unit 0 · ✓ checked Jul 28

Bar Citra fuels your day with espresso, then flips to natural wines that lean dry, aperitifs like Spanish vermouth spritzes, and seasonal bites from house sourdough and pizza al taglio to ricotta dumplings and, when they land, Matanzas River oysters. Low-key, local, deliciously thoughtful. Perfect for a midweek reset.
