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!

In an economy where beer consumption is declining and breweries are going under, this gem of a…read morebusiness shines bright and is highly worthy of a visit! Woman owned, plenty of seating, quite the selection of board games to play while hanging out. The beer selection, I have not seen one that extensive in a while, including ones brewed in-house!!! And affordable pricing as well! And they sell pizza (looked and smelled incredible, but I did purchase any when I went since I was still full from dinner). They have live music sometimes with a clever indoor/outdoor stage, which is also a perk. It was a very cozy, comfortable, and safe vibe going there, especially since I was there enjoying my drinks solo. The staff were very friendly despite the crowd and long line, happy to explain their "on tap" selections with only one offering being unavailable that evening. I had a Nitro Stout and then later a Cherry Cheesecake Pie Hard Seltzer, both brewed by them, and both were delicious. The hard seltzer did have all those flavor notes and it wasn't overly chemical sweetened, which I greatly appreciated. And I was so happy to see a darker beer option on their menu as the current trends tend to heavily favor the IPA's. Please support this awesome business, I look forward to bringing my significant other soon to play a board game or two over some brews and pizza!

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 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.

If no food will be served until closing time please indicate so, on the door, web sites and your call answering service.

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!

If you haven't experienced karaoke at Speakeasy, you're missing one of the most steadily growing…read moremusic rooms in town. Neil and Tristan have built something that feels intentional. It's not chaotic karaoke. It's not ego-driven. It's a room where singers are respected, the sound is dialed in, and the energy rises and falls naturally throughout the night. What I appreciate most is how they run the floor. Rotation stays fair. The mic levels are balanced. Adjustments are made when needed. They're paying attention -- and that matters when you care about your performance. I've watched the room swell to 60+ and ease down to a tight circle near closing, and both versions feel good. Big crowd? Electric. Smaller crowd? Intimate and locked in. That's leadership from the booth. And here's the exciting part: Starting Tuesday, March 10, 2026 at 8PM, they're opening another karaoke night during the week. That tells you everything. They're not coasting. They're building. Opening a Tuesday gives local singers another space to sharpen their craft, support a venue that supports them, and bring life into a traditionally slower night. That's good for the performers and good for downtown. If you're someone who: * Likes clean sound * Appreciates organized rotations * Wants to sing without drama * Or just wants a solid midweek night out Put Tuesday at 8PM on your calendar. Order a pizza--pepperoni or cheese--they are delicious. Neil and Tristan are doing it the right way -- steady growth, real community, and a stage that feels earned. I'll be back.

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. Staff was really nice tho. they saved the rating:)

Looking at the exterior, we could only guess what was coming. Walking in just after opening gave us opportunity to marvel over the beautifully appointed interior without bothering yet to arrive lunch customers. After perusing the menu, which we had somewhat studied pre decision to dine here, our waiter Matteo filled in item by item our understanding of the many menu options. With his help and suggestions we four decided to share two "starters" - the whipped feta - half classic and half smoky. Both were delicious! We chose the 4 piece Bruschetta with a suggested cheese added. It too rang the delicious bell. We picked paninis for our main course: Flank steak, French dip and Prosciutto & Fig Jam. Each would be served with a side salad - either Spinach or Spring. We all chose Spinach. The sandwiches were full of the components as described. My wife's Prosciutto & Fig Jam had prosciutto from end to end countering a review to the contrary I had read. The other paninis were likewise filled. The Spinach side salads were loaded with walnuts and cranberries. The amount of feta was adequate. the total amount of salad was more than I expected. My wife ordered a dessert to go, and just reported to me that was superb. We had to forgo any wine with lunch as we had miles to drive home afterward. But I await the day we can spend the night in town and enjoy some selections of their impressive wine stock and not have to drive home. A Friday evening comes to mind. It must happen so we can try out more items of their well chosen fare. A couple of the pokes look scrumptious and a few more of the paninis await my gastric juices. We were pleasantly surprised by Damon bringing us a complimentary Chocolate Panini served with house made whipped zcream (who even serves that these days?) He said that we HAD to try his #1 selling item from the whole menu before we left. We tasted, and learned why it had reached that status. Good in appearance. Perfect in creation, Superb in taste. Kudos by the bucketful to Damon, Matteo, and the rest of the staff who helped this Birthday Bash be warm & fuzzy and highly enjoyed. If you haven't yet. I suggest you put Camp 4 on your high priority list and enjoy the experience as I'm sure you will. We sure did!

Our server did forget my matcha, but said it would be on the house and he kept his promise. I wasn't a big fan of it, but try it and see for yourself if you like it. However, I think he also forgot that we didn't order cucumbers in our appetizer, and we ended up being charged a buck.50 for it, but turns out it was delicious and worth it. She also accommodated my friend, who is very picky which is partially why the pepper and the honey is separated in our appetizer and why her sandwich that is unpictured has no tomatoes or mayo. He was very kind and understanding about it! I thoroughly enjoyed my Panini, and devoured the whole thing. I loved the lemon rosemary mayonnaise, and that you can actually taste the citrus. Wow! High key wished they had fries or tarot tots or something instead of bruschetta chips. Or at least pair the bruschetta chips with the panini with some sort of dip.
