We really enjoyed our visit to Commonhouse Aleworks--it's the kind of spot that instantly makes you feel at home. The outdoor area is huge and inviting, with plenty of space to spread out and relax. We especially loved sinking into the comfortable rocking chairs, the perfect place to kick back with a drink in hand. The overhangs and fans kept everything cool and breezy, which made hanging outside even more enjoyable on a warm day. One of our favorite features was the outdoor ordering window. It's so convenient, especially if you're visiting with your pup--you never have to leave them behind just to grab another round. The whole place has a fun, welcoming vibe with great music setting the tone. While we didn't sample the food this time, it was definitely tempting, and it's nice to know it's available if you want to make an afternoon of it. Drink-wise, Commonhouse nails it. While beer is their specialty (and they have a solid selection), they also offer a frozen drink and a few seltzers for those who prefer something a little different. And for the pups? They've thought of that too, with outdoor water stations so your dog can stay refreshed right alongside you. All in all, it's a truly pet-friendly spot with a laid-back atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer. It's quickly become one of our favorite places to relax and enjoy Charleston with Luna by our side. read more

Since I discovered how good the food is here, it's become a regular stop. The smashburgers are so damn good that I get a craving from that won't go away until I stop in to eat. I've now worked my way through some of the other menu items like the brisket grilled cheese, the cheesesteak special, and the hummus platter. You can't go wrong with anything here, but the CAB Smashburger is my go to. I love sitting on the patio on a nice day with some live music and some good eats. Inside feels a little boring, but I would only sit in there if the weather was particularly crazy anyway. For those that don't drink beer, they do have other options as well like frozen drinks, seltzer, and wine. read more

I have always enjoyed the outdoor area at this spot whether it was just for a drink or an event being held. It is very spacious and they have a small stage for when events are held. There is a good selection of non-alcoholic drinks. The food is not my favorite, not to much of a variety to chose from. The staff have always been friendly and helpful with answer questions regarding the menu. Once you place your order, you are given a number and food is brought to your table, again indoor and outdoor seating is available. There is street and lot parking available near the restaurant. read more

I was traveling to Nashville this past Sunday and decided to stop here for a drink. Ashley and Sam were working that morning. They made me feel so welcomed. They were friendly to all the customers. They always had a smile on their face. I never write reviews but I felt they deserved recognition. Go girls! read more

Nice staff. Weird food and expensive. I grew up in Charleston and visit my mom pretty much quarterly. Lately I've resorted to flying vs driving because I hate I95 and the drive is boring. Anyway on this trip I had a little time to spare so I stopped at Commonhouse to get a glass of wine and a small bite to eat. For my food I got pimento cheese thinking it would be a small bowl of the spread with bread, ham and pickles. After waiting a long time the server brought me these small bites with pimento cheese and ham that had been heated. It wasn't that great and for the price it was ridiculous. Looked like something a 5 year old would make. Anyway, not sure I'd eat here again. Next time I'll get chick-fil-a and then just have a glass of wine. read more

BLT! That was spectacular. Nice open space and friendly staff. What more could you want for a quick lunch?

Food is always on point here! I've had their burgers and the spicy chicken sandwich. Both great. I love their potato salad. It's a good price for the area as well. It's more like a Biergarten kind of place and that's my favorite part about it. read more

We just added a new pup to our family last week and decided to try out Commonhouse with her as our first venture out! What I hadn't noticed before was the little window to order from if you couldn't leave the dog with someone which is awesome, along with a wide selection of clean dog bowls for water! The mimosa hit the spot, and the red fox ale was a winning selection. Kids gave the cheeseburgers five out of five stars and the beer cheese on the tots just made the trip totally worth it. We enjoyed some live music as the kids wrestled on the turf- a standout Sunday! Thanks for welcoming all, Commonhouse! read more

Cool spot in the historic district of North Charleston. My wife & I just stopped in for a beer to check it out and found several folks just chillin' and relaxing on a Monday afternoon. The beer was very good and the service and vibe are excellent. This will be a must do when we come back to Charleston to enjoy all this establishment has to offer! I will expand on this place another time but based on my visit yesterday will definitely be back! read more

I recently went to common house ale works for the first time and I love the space. I like that it has an indoor but a huge outdoor area. They also just celebrated six years. They are located in the park Circle area which is a very up-and-coming hip area to go sip bite and taste everything. They have a really good selection of brews and they most recently have partnered up with Swig and Swine, so you best believe there's some good eats there too you can follow along on my food adventures overall Instagram @sipbiteandtasteit read more

Great brewing with an amazing hot pretzel. We visit this brewery each time we are in Charleston. Today I ordered the hit pretzel. It was so much more than a pretzel. Warm soft, salty bread with a choice, or combination, if you know you know, of beer cheese and stone ground mustard. So good! Located in the Park Circle area with good parking, safe walking and opportunities for other food and libations. This area and Common House never disappoint. read more

Who brings young children to a brewery? Apparently that's a thing now. But I won't return after being nearly bopped multiple times by unsupervised children with footballs and soccer balls IN A SEATING AREA! And we were there first! Food and beer were good but won't return. read more

After having dinner at Carolina ale. My friend and I zoom over to Commonhouse Aleworks. Visiting from Seattle the brewery capital. I thought this place was awesome. The microbrews were delicious, prices were cool, and they had food and brewery gear. There was plenty of space to enjoy your brew. Seems like a weekend hangout. All and all, I will be back. Regarding the district. Its right in the heart of everything happening. I had a good time. read more

Back in Charleston for a long weekend. First stop for lunch. Awesome place. I had a delicious stout, 'It's Pearce But Not Pearce'. Hubby loved IPAs. Great staff. She was super friendly and helpful (sorry didn't get name). And met one of the brewers who use to be at one that closed. So glad he is still making great stuff. Definitely be back! read more

This venue is great and really combines a sense of community with great food, drinks and atmosphere. There is a stage where many locals come out and perform so you can catch comedy, music, dance and fun pretty much every day of the week. I haven't found cheese sticks this good in Charleston since Josie Joe's left Shem Creek. And their deep-fried giant pretzel is to die for... Just found out they make a dessert pretzel as well, so that will be for next time. Do yourself a favor and order one for the table, it's definitely share-worthy! Very nice staff with a relaxing vibe. read more

We went for the brewery tour. It was a great tour and the owner is very passionate about helping the community and his team. I got to try the wise beer and had the smash burger (swig and swine). The smash burger was really good I recommend a try. The wise beer was really flavorful. It's a beer spot, but the set up lets you interact with everyone and not just the people you came with so I like that it's like a community so good ambiance read more

I love Commonhouse beer! I always get this Looking East IPA. I've been to trivia nights there with Publik Education, and it's always a great vibe. Awesome outdoor space. Lots of tables. The servers are super friendly. There's not a ton in the way of food, but I had a pulled pork Caesar salad there once and honestly it was shocking, but amazing. read more

We were in Charleston with friends for a wedding and walked over to Commonhouse due to the close proximity from our Airbnb. After snagging a few beers and brussels sprouts for the table, we basked in the twinkle lights and live music, all agreeing that it seemed like a fun neighborhood to live in. There were a few local businesses scattered nearby, including an ice cream shop and eatery with Louisiana cuisine. There was a cool neighborhood vibe and was super family-friendly. Parents were socializing, kids were dancing to the live music, and all-in-all, it felt incredibly welcoming. The beers we got were delicious and their food menu was super enticing too. There was a free parking lot down the road as well. Definitely recommend if you're in the Charleston area! read more

This was my first visit to this brewery even though I've been to park circle many times (primarily for lunch). I found the bar tender friendly and more than willing to offer a sample of a particular beer if a customer is unsure which beer to choose. I decided to try the paddle fruit (IPA with Prickly Pear) it had a mild fruit taste but was not overly sweet. The beers are available in different sizes ranging from 4 ounce to 16 ounce. They also offer food ranging from wings and burgers to pretzels and tater tots. I decided against food but noticed many in my group did not finish their pretzels and other menu items... I may try food on the next visit. The exterior had plenty of picnic tables and rocking chairs, it's probably really nice during the fall or cooler months ect. It's worth stopping in if visiting park circle. Plenty of other eateries within walking distance. read more

Yes! It's all you need to know. Is the beer good? Is it a good space? Is the food good? Do they have good bands? Do they host fun events? Best handcrafted beer in town (lately) only other place we've had this MANY choices and ALL be stellar is CooperRiver. Seriously. All good. Check out the photos for todays haul.... read more

Common House Ale Works is generous enough to open their venue for one night a month to entertain the neighborhood with a Comedy Night consisting of several local groups of Improv artist. I wish I could remember the names of the groups. These artists get together to perform some funny stuff. Theater 99 is just one of the many groups. Nice large area with inside and outside seating. Even though we didn't eat there the staff was constantly delivering good looking food and beverages to the tables. Looks like a good time for all read more

Great place for live music, staff is friendly, but food was just ok. Ordered their chicken sandwich and it was dry. Not enough sauce, chicken was too thick so I couldn't eat it was a sandwich. Fries also came cold-ish :( Will give this place a try again later because I do like the atmosphere here :) read more

Finally stopped in to Commonhouse. Been on my list for some time. First impressions was great as there was PARKING! To me that is a huge plus. I hate driving around forever trying to find a parking spot! There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. We got here fairly early so we didn't get a chance to hear the band. Bluegrass, I believe. The beers we decent. I tried a couple different IPA's. I'd say nothing spectacular, however not too bad. I typically like the Park Circle Pale. That's always a safe go to! The menu was right up my alley when going to a brewery. Good ol tots and pretzels. How can one go wrong! We had the totchos, Brussel Sprouts, and the ginormous pretzel. Of all the Brussels were by far the winner! The pretzel was okay, beer cheese was also jut okay. The totchos were not bad either but thats it. Overall, cool little spot if you're in the area. Great staff. Good vibe. read more

Great outdoor vibe. Good spot for beers and live music. The food from Swig and Swine left more to be desired but was okay. You order your drinks and food at the bar- no waiters/servers. If you want an additional drink or anything you have to go back up to the bar to order. read more

If you want to find an indoor or outdoor place with good beer, this is your location. Dog friendly and sometimes you listen to live music. The vibe is very chill. There's a few food items but all of the items pair perfect with a beer... lol... The reason for the 4 stars is that my wings were bloody. They did remake the wings but the next batch was crispy and burnt.... Order everything else except for the wings. I would come back again but I will not eat the wings.. read more

The Park Circle Pale Ale is one of the best beers in town! Not too heavy or hoppy. Perfect balance of floral and bitter notes with a nice drinkability. Cool outdoor area. Often live music. Great food. There's a window you can order from which is cool and pretty fast. They give you a number to put on your table and they bring the food out. Good spot. Underrated. read more

Definitely one of our favorite places to come hang out, have a drink, and munch on some food. We love the atmosphere they've built here, which is very laid back. They change their menu a good bit to keep variety available for everyone. The staff are always nice every time we go, it's very easy to order, and you can sit wherever. I love their table heaters they have for the outside seating. They often have live music and will have a whole month schedule posted for you so you're in the know of what events to expect from them. Highly recommend coming here read more
