One of my favorite bars lets you bring your own food!
Great hipster vibe during happy hour! They have an excellent selection in a retro-style bar.
We arrived quite late and were warmly welcomed by the owner, who was very friendly. We chose to sit outside and enjoyed some engaging conversations. A regular customer shared with us the reason behind the restaurant's name, "Commonwealth." Overall, it was a wonderful spot for a relaxing evening.
I love this bar. I am frequent customer, but when I am served flat, stale beer and am ignored when bringing it up, I feel obliged to write a review. I love pale ales—they’re my favorite beer. So when I tasted the blood orange pale ale, I was surprised it was flat and stale. I even had my entire party taste it because I wanted to be sure it was not just my preference. They all agreed it was a stale beer. I also want to be clear that never in my life have I ever considered sending back a beer. I have had beers that weren’t what I was expecting, and that’s okay, but this was so unpleasant I wanted to inform the bar that something may be off with the keg. I told all three bartenders working, only to be met with “that’s how it always tastes” and a suck-it-up shrug. While I know it was busy since it was pride, as a queer woman, I felt so disrespected and ignored, I left the bar in tears. I know what a pale ale tastes like. It’s not my first rodeo. And it wasn’t about getting a replacement beer— I had just been gaslit, ignored, and disrespected at my favorite bar, on pride no less. I don’t know if this behavior is a result of new management after Ray’s tragic passing, but I have never felt so belittled at a bar and feel as if I have no other choice than to write a review.
