I gave this place 3 stars to be fair. I've been to commonwealth twice, both times were brief, but my second experience was 842903489032x better than the first. The first time I went was a Friday or Saturday evening and it was super crowded. Was not a fan of the weird scene there. I'm not really the "clubbing" type and that's kind of the vibe I got from this place. Ex "clubbers" who discovered Forever 21 and Unif, speaking loudly and cluelessly, and dancing awkwardly. It took a billion years to get a drink and I felt so out of place drinking it once I finally got it. Not my thing. However, if you're into that, that's fine.
Second time I went, the place was totally dead. There were a few sophisticated types at the bar, the music was reasonable, and it took me about a second to get a drink. I took the opportunity to joke around and ordered the "punching glove" and my buddies ordered their drinks based on the tap handles as well (the tap handles are great and eclectic!). It was cute and fun! The bartender was super friendly and eager for us to try the beers and figure out what they were, too. Definitely would not mind going here on a slow day, even if the drinks are a littler pricier. The atmosphere on a slow day is much more welcoming and homey. I loved it!
