Yet again, an excellent dive bar in a street of great dive bars. The lighting here in atmosphere says a lot about the location and the warmth of the establishment.

If I could give it 0 stars for service I would. Came here on Good Friday. Nothing was good about the service - at all. Was al semi full house, but not super crowded. The male bartender was too busy trying to Vogue and high off his mind that he forgot he was in the service industry. I tried to give him my second order and as i was telling him order, he saya nevermind and walks away. Are you kidding me??’ My friend was looking his direction to PLACE an ORDER. He says to her mad aggressive… “what are you staring at!”Hello… you’re a bartender, we’re looking at you to take our order. We left after that. Mad RUDE and on drugs.Neiher male or female bartender could comprehend. Embarrassing! Would never recommend to anyone. You should ne embarrassed!!!

Came in on a Saturday night and it was great!! Great ambience, not too crowded but still enough people to feel comfortable, and they have pinball machines in the back that actually are fun to play! (As opposed to being rigged to make you lost, which a lot of machines are.)Not drinking right now and the bartender made me a super tasty mocktail (a strawberry one, since they had strawberry margaritas on the menu). ?There were some great cocktails on the menu and plan to have one sometime down the line. Also saw some unusual craft beers here too - like sours which are rare in bars. I was impressed with the drinks they offered!Will absolutely be back! Really loved this place. And the bartenders were really cool.

This is a great place to hang out with friends - or meet new friends - in the heart of Park Slope! They have an excellent selection of beer on tap, bottles, wine, and cocktails! Would highly recommend making this your destination on Friday or Saturday Night to unwind with friends. The staff is very friendly, courteous, and professional.

We reached quite late and met the owner who was very friendly, we sat outside and had great conversations and a regular customer explained why it’s called commonwealth. A great place for an easy evening.

Great place for advice during your stay. Get the secrets from the locals. The bartenders are nurturing and loving and pour a stiff drink.

I had an hour to kill before dinner with my girlfriend and her family, and wanted a place to have a beer by myself. Commonwealth was the perfect choice! The bartender was efficient and polite and the music selection was excellent. Will definitely stop by if I ever have some time to kill in the neighborhood.
