Portions were small, service was slow, and bill was LARGE! I had the avocado toast with salmon and it was merely one slice of bread with avocado spread over it with about 3 small slices of chipped salmon. I wanted to add fruit, but they were out. Yes, on a brunch Sunday on Labor Day weekend. I asked for a side salad with tomatoes. It arrived with no tomatoes. The two items together were equivalent to a side at a normal restaurant, but they charged $21. This should have been around $8. My friend got the same with a diet coke and they charged for each refill.
When I asked for a check, she said I would need to pay first to get a print out of the check... I normally don't right bad reviews, but with all this absurdity, I decided to write this review to help people avoid an awful experience. After spending $45 on brunch, I left hungry. Yes, very upsetting. Maybe they are a good bar, but they need to get their act together with food.

Great ambience
Very decent local bar with interesting drinks and food. The rail drinks could be a little stronger and they have trivia nights on Tuesday. I live nearby and love to stop by for a drink after work.

Terrible experience. My friend and I were meeting several other friends here for a birthday bash when the bouncer decided that us “finishing a drink” before we got in line was cause to keep us from entering the establishment.
Of the friend group of 15+ friends we were likely the most sober two of the group. Unfortunately the poor judgement of the bouncer put a damper on our night and caused 15+ people to leave the establishment! No clear explanation was given.
Wont be back again! Expect ill judged terrible service before you come.
The Commodore did not disclose its service charge prominently. This is a deceptive business practice. I will not be returning.
Bartender is the bomb
Music too loud for a place with no dancefloor. I was struggling to hear the person next to me. Kind of takes away from the vibe and makes it difficult to stay here for too long.
I went for an alumni event, so your experience may be different, but the chicken and pigs in a blanket were excellent. The cocktail I had was pretty good, too. Also, they had a framed picture of Matt Berry as Lazlo Cravensworth/Jackie Daytona. The vibe was superb.
Great neighborhood bar. Friendly staff, great service, and excellent food. Wings, tenders, schlogan burger are all standouts, but the true star was the birria Crunchwrap (sandwich of the week). Amazing. Couldn’t ask for better!

Wasn’t accepting reservations or walk-ins for their holiday pop-up bar. Asked how long the wait was and they refused to give an answer or allow us to wait at the door. Staff was extremely rude.

Friendly atmosphere. Most attractive thing for a bar. Service good, bar has extensive choices. If hungry they have reasonable bites. Beer menu is good as well. Get in, you'll be a regular.
