"Among the dives and breweries dotting Georgetown’s industrial landscape is Ciudad, a boisterous Middle Eastern-influenced spot that’s good for large groups starting out the night. Nab a seat outside where the atmosphere feels like someone’s cool cookout as a charcoal grill sears tasty hanger steaks and seafood (you order by the weight to share). Inside, the look is more “modern art gallery” with concrete floors and a mural depicting some sort of demonic parade. Beyond those grilled meats, get the hummus and smoky yogurt dips for the table (with flatbreads), plus a round of spicy carrot margaritas, and everyone will be happy.
