Great beer selection and some upscale menu items.

My wife's 59th birthday was on 08-19-22 and on the 20th my son Carl invited us to Commonwealth to buy his mother a dinner while... he worked. We sat outside while Carl served us. The food and drinks were excellent! This was our first visit to Commonwealth andwe will certainly come back. Read more
On a recent trip to Chicago (from Australia), we stayed in Roscoe Village and had the pleasure of hosting a family reunion at... the Commonwealth Tavern. We picked the Commonwealth Tavern as our preferred venue simply due to its location, which wasliterally across the road from where we were staying. We made contact with the Commonwealth six weeks before we arrived in theUS, to tell them of our family reunion with a twist — we were flying a family member in from Tokyo, and nobody else knew shewas going to be in Chicago. From our very first interaction with this random venue in a random location, Matt and Juliancouldn’t have received us more warmly. In particular, Julian’s enthusiasm was immediate and she added her own personaltouches throughout. Her excitement for what we were planning was infectious and made it even more exciting for us. Not only didthey embrace us and our family reunion, but they actively encouraged our proposal of a fully interactive experience, whereby wehid our secret guest, who Matt then snuck in the back door and dressed in a staff uniform, then gave her a tray of drinks so oneof our party could approach the table ahead of her, ensuring she remained “hidden in plain sight”, all ready for the bigreveal to her unsuspecting family. To everyone’s great delight, the whole plan was executed perfectly and went off without ahitch! Throughout the night, and on our many repeat visits during the course of our stay in Chicago, every member of staff atthe Commonwealth was no less than amazing! We feel like we made lifelong friends and we’ll definitely be back. Roscoe Villageis lucky to have such a gem of a pub and, from twelve-and-a-half thousand miles away, we’re missing you already and wishing wewere back there! Read more
Overall good experience. We were seated outside and with great service. Server knew the beers well which is hard to find. My... winds were ok - just didn’t pop…perhaps more sauce and more tender bite would have helped. My wife had a Cuban sandwichwhich she liked and thought was true to its name. Read more
Visited while in town for a baseball game. A lot of fun if you are a Dallas Cowboys fan. Liked the bloody Mary bar and wife... enjoyed the mimosa bar. Didnt eat but saw some food and all looked good. We kinda want to come back when the DC plays philly toheckle bar across street. Read more
