The editorial take
The Commoner runs a 20-tap bar where cocktails, esoteric wines, and local beers are all poured on draft. Beer gets the clearest treatment, with a stated focus on locally-crafted brews and a dedicated Biergarten with posted hours. Wine is also on draft, described as esoteric. The program is direct and tap-led rather than a deep bottle list, with the Biergarten as the most distinctive feature.
- What should I order?
- Start with a locally-crafted beer from the 20-tap bar, especially in the Biergarten when it is open. For a lighter, brunch-friendly option, a Mimosa is a supported choice, as a recent customer paired one with Eggs Benedict during a Sunday breakfast visit. Draft cocktails are also available among the taps.
- Who will enjoy this place?
