| - For all us old-school Calgarians, Commonwealth is the Neo-Warehouse; with a funky steam-punk-meets-mad-scientist/Clockwork Orange overhaul.
Newly renovated with fake skeletons, 1800s-style chemistry sets, chains, stuffed crows, fedora-wearing staff, a much-better-than-hot-dogs cafeteria and a very intriguing bourbon list, Commonwealth has potential to be the new it-club in town.
The music selection is good; and in a nice twist, the DJs are actually skilled. That said, Commonwealth has a lot to live up to in the music realm at this location, so I am interested to see what the future holds in terms of shows and DJs.
With the current success of these owners (UNA, Ox&Angela), and should the music hold up, I predict Commonwealth will have a long and healthy life complete with loyal followers.
I have a sneaking suspicion I may become one of those followers... Fedoras and suspenders on fellas, let's get a Makers Mark and hit the dance floor.
