What People Are Saying About The Common Ground
The Editor
Gerrish Lopez
Citysearch
A comfortable hangout for jocks and live-music lovers, the Common Ground is part Irish pub, part rock club and part sports bar, all pulled together in a traditional setting. Most nights see sporty crowds huddle around the numerous TVs, while the crowd becomes more diverse on nights when bands play in the middle of the small lounge area. Besides affordable bottles of domestic beers, standard bar fare and pizzas keep everyone nourished.

nice atmosphere
by flickerbird86 at Citysearch
my boyfriend and i ended up here after not wanting to wait for a table at sunset grill. We were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was, their desserts were especially excellent. The beer selection was very satisfying, service was fast and the atmosphere was very relaxed. There wasn't anything special going on that night ( no bands or themes) but we both enjoyed our stay, Common Ground is definitely worth a try.
- Pros: nice atmosphere, yummy food

my fiance and i love common ground-- we used to go to the publick house all the time, but the food here is just as good and the beers are much less expensive, but still varied and interesting. I recommend!
- Pros: great food, vegetarian options, good beers on tap
- Cons: can be crowded on popular nights

Best Nights Ever
by Jerseylove at Citysearch
The most fun nights out are 90's night! DJ Mike is amazing and plays everyones suggestions. The crowd is great, lots of singing/dancing along to awesome 90's music. The bartenders are nice/funny and the beer selection is solid. I highly recommend this fun little dive bar for a great night out, just don't bring any pretention with you.
- Pros: GREAT music, nice bartenders, fun theme nights
- Cons: none, it's a dive bar. Know what you're getting into.
