They have their own parking lot with plenty of parking & a large warehouse venue that appears to host different events. It was clean & well organized. The bathroom was clean & well stocked. Beer: They had about 13 different beers on tap, all proprietary brews. We normally stick with IPAs but did try a very nice stout based on the recommendation of one of the regulars. The IPAs were a perfect blend of crisp & hoppy. They had cans to go as well. Customer Service: We had an opportunity to meet the brewmaster, Jonas. He couldn't have been more friendly & welcoming. When we asked for a can label to take home as a souvenir, he enthusiastically gave us 5 different labels to take with us. Food: There was a sign outside that said we could get a free appetizer with the purchase of a pint. Sure enough, we ended up with 2 very tasty street tacos from the food vendor. I highly recommend coming in & supporting your local brewery. Look for the parrot mural on the side of the building-- hard to miss!

Great selection of beer, just a couple of IPA's which was fine with my group since we aren't fans. Their Mexican lager and blonde were YUM and the others we tried were exceptional good. They had a plethora of games on hand for all ages and we met the owners and their cutest pooch ever! They are very welcoming, friendly, and their son is the brew master so it was fun to see him in action while he was tending to the tanks pfrom time to time. The only reason why I knocked off one star is and it just may be us be we love to eat while drinking. They did have a selection of chips and pretzels but it would be great to add peanuts, popcorn, and maybe even some candy but ultimately man if they had wings, fries, and veges with ranch dressing, BOMB!!!!! We will be back nevertheless.

And of course their craft beers and IPA's, as well as specialty seltzers and mocktails. Also, they can customize the seltzers to make them as sweet or not sweet as you want. This place has such a welcoming vibe and all the patrons inside were so friendly as well. I went for the free Bingo with my friend and she had the most delicious mocktail (it had pineapple in it) and the owners let me try their new orange IPA (yes...delicious as it sounds!!) and their apple pie seltzer (OMG like dessert in drink form) and their strawberry mint seltzer (light and refreshing). You can bring in food to eat while you drink, socialize and play games, and families are welcome. There were a couple little kids there with their parents. Perfect spot for parents looking to get out without having to get a baby sitter. Love this place!

If no food will be served until closing time please indicate so, on the door, web sites and your call answering service. While the beer being sold in cans and bottles packaging is impressive and I'm sure adding to the over pricing. We do not care if it's in a can or bottle in a brown bag. Way too much for packaging that's going in the trash.

All aboard for great beer and a chill vibe!…read more This train-themed brewery is such a hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with cool locomotive blueprint art and subtle rail details that make it feel like you're about to embark on a relaxing adventure (without leaving your seat). It's clean, bright, and welcoming, with plenty of seating whether you're riding solo or coming in with your crew. I ordered a flight served in a beautiful wooden tray, and it was the perfect way to sample their lineup. The Hefe was like a smooth, easy ride through the countryside, while the Stout was a rich, roasty experience that felt like pulling into a cozy station at the end of the line. They've done a great job balancing the industrial feel with warm, local touches, and there's a TV to catch the game without overpowering the relaxed environment. The train theme is subtle yet charming, and you can tell they've put care into creating a space where you can slow down and enjoy good beer and good company. If you're looking for a place to "stay on track" with quality beer and a friendly vibe, this brewery is absolutely worth the stop. Can't wait to return for another round!

Karaoke Downtown was…read morealive tonight with Porchfest going on all around the area, and the energy carried right into Speakeasy Lounge. You could feel the city breathing a little differently -- music outside, people moving through downtown, and the Speakeasy settling into that perfect slow-build karaoke rhythm. I showed up early before karaoke started and honestly that may be one of the best ways to experience this place. The lighting, the atmosphere, the quiet conversations before the room fills in -- it has a cool cinematic feel to it. By the time the singers started rolling in, the whole room had naturally warmed up instead of feeling rushed or chaotic. Neil does a great job hosting karaoke here. The rotations move well, the sound is solid, and the environment feels welcoming whether you're a regular or someone just wandering in after hearing music downtown. One thing I appreciate is that people actually listen to each other sing here. There's room for fun, but also room for sincerity. Tonight especially felt like one of those Modesto nights where music was echoing all over downtown and somehow it all connected together naturally. Good drinks, good people, good atmosphere, and a great place to spend a downtown evening.

Sadly disappointed…read more My friends and I stopped by Commonwealth on a Saturday afternoon for a late brunch. It was a beautiful day so it was busy for both indoor and outdoor seating. Here, you order your food, grab a number, and find your own seat for the food to be brought out to you. We sat at a table outside to decide what to order. There were no menus available so we just had to search for it online before heading inside to order. Despite being third in line from the register, we had an extremely long wait to order. There was only one person running the register who also had to make the drinks, meaning the service incredibly slow. We wanted to order the five taco platter, garlic fries, chicken Caesar salad, and mimosa pitcher. Sadly, we were only able to get the pitcher and salad. The cashier told us "sorry, we aren't doing fries right now." Not doing fries? Every plate in the vicinity had fries on them. She said that because it was brunch hour, only food on the brunch menu could be ordered. We looked at the brunch menu again and literally saw garlic fries as an option as a side for the burgers/sandwiches. No where did it specify that you can't order off the other menu and both were available online. What bothered us about this is that we placed this order at around 1:50pm, and brunch ended at 2:00pm. I understand that we are not entitled to things on the lunch menu during brunch-time for items like the tacos, but considering the menu swap was less than 10 minutes away and they were quite literally were "doing fries" at the time, it didn't make much sense to us. The only food that we ended up ordering was the Chicken Caesar Salad. This one dish took a super long time to receive. By the time it was brought out, the three of us nearly finished the Mimosa pitcher. The waitress noticed we had no silverware and said she would go grab us some. Because of how the service had been going thus far, we placed a bet on whether or not the waitress would come back with the silverware. Surprise, surprise. She didn't. We had to go inside later and search for silverware ourselves. We weren't even able to get sharing plates which was upsetting since the waitress asked us if we would be sharing the salad. The salad itself looked delicious, but was bland. The dressing was missing that zing and zest that a Caesar dressing typically has. I do appreciate that is was a chopped salad, had avocado, and seasoned croutons. It is just unfortunate that it was lacking any flavor at all. The food prices are quite affordable for the quantity of food you receive though. This experience was disappointing because I was so optimistic about the place. The menu looked good, it had fun and casual vibes and a cool crowd of people. If Commonwealth worked towards better service practices, it would have been a more positive experience.

Very common for breweries. But, c'mon it's 45 or so degrees out. Please use your heaters and have tanks filled with propane. Unless you were dancing...you were freezing. Had to ask them to turn on heater. They apparently only have 2 for that large space:( 1 was not working because: no propane. that's just bad planning. It's cold here in winter. Beer was ok. But 1 beer was a whopping $9. Not sure if they changed price for band being there. All beers were $9! that combined with freezing, I would not go back unless I knew they had propane tanks full and at least 1 more!! We all were huddled around the 1 working one. Just Silly. Available food was Cajun. I wasn't impressed at all. Pizza or Mexican food should be the choice at a brewery. Anyway, sorry to say this brewery will not be on my favorites list.
