    A sexy Manhattan and a gorgeous Garden Smash!

    Always Awesome All the time. That's it, all I've got! Thank you CS! Craft Cocktails, why do I need more words in order to post this? "Always awesome" should have been enough for you to want to check it out...

    Verdict: One of the nicer places for drinks in Goshen Atmosphere / decor - 4 Service - 4 Food - NA Location - 4 Value - 3.5 Overall 4 Common Spirits has a nice atmosphere. There are two little benches at the front where you can wait for a table if you wish. There are a few booths as well as bar area. In the back there are two small tables that can be pushed together. Behind that is a community table with benches. There's a patio but I've not seen it. Service seems to be consistently good. I've not had the food but it looks good. The cocktails are priced around $9. I saw some Indiana beers/spirits which is neat. They offer nightly drink specials which are unique cocktails (not at a discounted price). It's right off the Main Street of Goshen and is walkable to other bars. Overall it's a nice place to visit for some custom cocktails.

    Common Spirits is one of my favorite weekend of after-party hangouts. I love the cool atmosphere and the drinks. They are fab. All the drinks are handmade, everything from the mixers to some of the liquors are made in-house. Each drink has 2 ounces of liquor in it, yet you will only pay $6-12 for a custom drink. One of my favorites here is the Whisky Slushie, it's no longer on the menu but you can request one! There are drink specials each night as well. The owner, Jamie, can always be found behind the bar mixing and serving up drinks. This place gets PACKED on a weekend night after 9pm, usually it is standing room only at that point. Since the venue is small but the place is popular, go expecting to stand but with a good chance of snagging a chair or booth as people leave. There is not much room for large crowds. It's definitely an intimate, cozy setting with good tunes, the best mixed drinks in town, and fun people. Food! Yes, the do serve this too. They have a great bibimbap bowl and a few other selections. If you just want some snacks, I highly suggest their hummus and pita plate or their chips and dip. Homemade and delicious!

    Exactly what Goshen needed. When I visit family in Goshen, I always try to stop by Common Spirits. I usually order off of their menu (Garden Smash is amazing), but last time I was there I decided to order cocktails that weren't on the menu, and CS was able to make every one. Prices are incredibly reasonable (esp compared to the markets I'm used to in Chicago and Boston). Strongly recommend if you are looking for a place to grab a cocktail. Seating can fill up, so I recommend you arrive earlier to grab a seat. They have a larger bench table in the back that a group can sit at, booths, or bar seating.

    I have to say, this is probably the best kept secret in Goshen. I didn't find this place until a year after working in Goshen and I'm so bummed I was missing out on this gem the whole time! My friend brought me there to try a tap beer from a local brewery but I walked in and saw the fresh basil and mint and knew I had to get whatever they were used in. The Garden Smash uses the fresh basil and o boy was it delicious! Yes it's on the pricier side, but it was so refreshing and unique! On my second visit here we also came across another neat secret -- the doughnut wall! Friday's mean all access to free doughnuts! What a cool concept. I just want to commend Common spirits because it's so cool such a small town has such a unique and fun bar right in the center of town!

    Always a fun place to go. I absolutely love the atmosphere. One tip is go always try the drink special! I do it every time and I love it! Tonight it was the Jean Jacket. It was a hot bourbon drink with cider in it. Yummm

    The drinks are amazing!! Good luck getting a spot here because it's usually at capacity but obviously because they are good at what they do!

    What a treat! Trust me: the 5 star rating is well deserved here…read more A buddy of mine was staying in South Bend and wanted to meet up for a cigar. So we took a trek to Amish country and stopped in for a stogie. I've been to cigar bars all over the US and this place stands toe-to-toe with the best spots I've visited. Upon entry we were greeted by the proprietor, Stacy, who told us about the menu, layout and humidor. And speaking of the owner... He stopped by my section no less than 5 times in a ~3 hour period just to ensure we were having a good time. The service here is excellent; heck even the bartender (Grasshopper) came by to say hello when it was slow. I just love the personal attention, because you come away feeling they legitimately care if I have a good time. They have a wall of whiskey, so if there's a bourbon you want, they'll probably have it. Slow Burn also has a legit cigar selection, and the owner mentioned it's growing. I called that out because apparently the place is less than a year old, but it operated like a well oiled machine. Nothing I sampled felt unreasonably priced. And even tho it's a hike from where I live...I will absolutely return in the future.

    Impressive to see a place like this in little Middlebury IN! If you're from the surrounding area…read moreand want someplace with an amazing atmosphere and "done right" cocktails, this should be a destination! Especially if you're in a "Rat Pack" or "Madmen" state of mind (or a New York State of mind for that matter !) Nice selection of cigars in their humidor too if you're just looking for a gift or box of cigars!
