Commonwealth has been one of my favourite venues since I was 18. It’s one of the only clubs in Calgary with a dedicated hip hop night, which makes it stand out. I’ve been here a lot, and compared to other places in the city,

Great atmosphere! Everytime I go I am greated by very nice staff and always have a great time out with my friends. Kuda the bouncer in particular has always been super friendly and seems like he genuinely enjoys his job despite having to deal with ignorant drunk people all the time

I’ve always had awesome weekends at this club. Great staff, nice atmosphere and great music. I commend the staff and what the bouncers in particular have to deal with. Drunk people can be the most unruly people, and it shows from some of these negative reviews when they finally sober up 😭. Love you commonwealth and staff!
It is a very cool spot been coming here for years never had a problem and I have never been a problem. Security are very approachable and make you feel safe and heard. Bar staff look like they are always having fun and a total vibe. Music is awesome and they shows they have recently have brought in have been incredible. Forever coming here 🥰🥰

Nice interior, nice staff, nice people and great location.
But it would be great if the bar hired a sound engineer.
Someone, who would tune the sound independently of a promo group and playing artists that night. Someone, who would be with people in the middle of the dance floor and hear how the sound system performs. Then tune it on an ipad connected to the system. This person must understand what the system can and can’t do, then adjust things properly.
I’ve been there on a few different events and unfortunately had the same experience. The sound was quite fine until a headliner comes. Then the volume was turned to 120+ (someone just thought it’s cool). The sound clipped so hard so it was impossible to distinguish tones, vocal, bass and highs. It’s interesting how I couldn’t figure out what song is playing even though it was one of my favorite ones, which I listened to 100+ times. Thanks to other people around who started singing so I was like “aaah, that was a song I love”.
Unfortunately, I can’t come and listen to my favorite artists anymore, because that place is the major one for this kind of music. And my wife says she won’t go with me either, because “why? just listen to this sound mess and ruin the night?”.
Guys, not everyone comes to just hang out and drink with friends. There are people who come to listen to their favorite artists and music on a big stage, with a big sound, a dance floor and nice people around. And I suppose that’s the goal of this place.
Things, I mentioned above, are easy to fix, but they will give so much benefit.
I hope someday things will change and I’ll be able to come to Commonwealth again and listen to my favorite music with my dear friends.

I was a little worried coming here for new years, because of the reviews. But I'm so glad we did. The staff were amazing!! There was the nicest bouncer at the front door, then when you walked in you were greeted by 2 more awesome staff . Bartenders were quick, and happy. There is actually 3 parts to this bar. The girls bathroom was the best party.We even had our own female bouncer in there. And she was great at the crowd control in there. You guys should set up a beer tub in there , you would make a fortune 😆

I recently visited Commonwealth Bar and Stage in downtown Calgary, and it was a great experience! The atmosphere was vibrant, with fantastic music and a spacious layout that made the evening enjoyable.
The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the positive vibe of the place. The live performances were definitely the highlight, showcasing amazing talent that kept the energy levels high throughout the night.
One thing to note is that they charge $5 to keep your jacket inside, and the counter accepts cash only, so be prepared if you’re planning to use this service. The entry fee was slightly higher than average, but for the ambiance and entertainment, it felt worth it. That said, I’d recommend arriving early to avoid long waits at the entrance.
Overall, Commonwealth Bar and Stage is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a lively night out in Calgary. I’m looking forward to going back soon!
