rev:text	Dear owners of Commonwealth, You built an amazing bar and a beautiful space. Good beer and drink selection too. It really could be called the crown jewel of the "new downtown". Too bad you ruined it by running it like a douchey club that interferes with a patron's ability to relax and charges ridiculous prices. The space you built is exceptional -- quirky design mixing elements of a lounge and upscale European chateau with laidback couches, chandeliers, a rooftop patio with an open air bar. The drink selection is excellent -- great selection of beers and some nice creative cocktails. After 5 minutes in your business, I thought it was a solid 5 star rating all the way. But why . . . why are you running this place like a douche magnet? Why the hell would you build a lounge-like pub and then refuse to let people sit on the weekends without paying for "bottle service"? Seriously. Why the hell would locals ever frequent a place where they can't sit down without paying 1000% mark up on a bottle of liquor? And putting a velvet rope outside with a bouncer to control access to your bar? What the hell? And no happy hour? And no prices on the beer menu? That's not classy. It's just annoying. I guess I understand wanting to hide your prices given that you're charging the tourist/rip off rate for drinks. I've visited your bar twice and I can officially say I'm done. I won't be coming back and won't be bringing visitors. You're absolutely a one-and-done type of bar. Most everyone I know who's visited, has not gone back. Too expensive, too douchey, too uninterested in wanting people to come back. A piece of advice: in 6 months to a year when you're not the hip new kid on the block anymore and start to notice that your bar is pretty much empty until 9 pm (like Insert Coins), start making changes to encourage locals to be repeat customers: 1) Get a happy hour, 2) lose the stupid velvet rope, 3) let people sit down without buying $100+ of liquor. Treat your customers like you want them there and don't just want to bilk them out of their money. Start trying to earn their money by having an inviting bar and you'll bring the locals in. Don't and you'll be closed by the end of 3-5 years.
