Upscale yet down to earth atmosphere, hearty comfort food with a modern twist.
Had lunch here today with Mrs.Bubbasezso and a friend! Surprisingly good! We arrived at 11:30 and were basically alone for about 20 minutes, then all of a sudden the place was packed to the rafters!!! Despite it being quite noisy, the service and the food was great! My poutine bowl was a unique & tasty experience! They were very willing to modify dishes for our friend who is a keto maniac. I’d do that again!!
A neat little place on 109 st downtown. Great beer selection with loads of interesting flavour profiles. I went wth Blindman New England IPA - very citrisy. The menu has some unique dishes as well. Such as chicken and waffles or spagetti squash lasagna bowl, there are a few vegan and gluten free options too.
I had the fish and chips. They were great! Crispy battered fresh fish with a tangy house made tartar sauce. The coleslaw was addictive! Reasonably priced and friendly staff. Totally worth going.
Probably one of my top 5 places to go for happy hour in the city. With the happy hour specials they also have different daily features. I am a big fan of the calamari, mussels & fries and $2 off wine (or 1/2 price bottles on Wednesdays). Service is friendly and quick. It is usually pretty busy, whether you're there for lunch, dinner or just some after work drinks. I suggest making a reservation.
The Common is not new but it was my first time going so I thought I’d blog about my food adventure for the day! Quick review of my visit to The Common – friendly staff, intimate atmosphere and pub style comfort food that seems promising but unfortuntely, didn’t completely win me over.
Came to The Common for the first time to get some drinks with friends. Fun/hip decor. A fairly good beer list was fun to check out, including seasonal and rotating taps. The cocktail menu was more limited with a weighting towards bourbon (suits me well). Its a shame then that they use Bulleit for them all. Cocktails were made properly but didn't have garnishes, but considering they were $9.50 for 1.5 oz it feels like a good price.
Table shared French fries with a spiced dipping sauce (almost positive it was just sriracha+mayo) and truffle thyme popcorn. The fries were average and the popcorn had WAY too much truffle oil and almost no thyme. The rest of the menu looked decent but not altogether inspiring.
Around 10:30 the atmosphere became considerably more club-like, with the lights dimmed and the music turned up so loud it became tough to talk across the table. I'd personally recommend coming before this time.
Came here last night for a Christmas party, great atmosphere, great food and extremely friendly staff! I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

Came here for lunch with a co worker. The menu was fairly limited for lunch with not a lot to choose from looked like they had a lot to choose from by way of drinks but since we were working we could not partake We both decided on fish and chips Today the fish was Halibut. Looks like the fish changes day to day it was pretty good, exactly like we wanted looking forward to going back for drinks some time
Before it was The Common it was Martini's, a little hole in the wall pub that served free popcorn and some decent food. When I lived downtown, I was a regular at Martini's so I was pretty shattered when it shut down. However, it's replacement, The Common, has done a beautiful job with the space's new vintage modern décor and really amped up the food with creative take on gourmet pub and comfort food.
The Common offered a great patio experience! The interior of the restaurant seems super cool though! I ordered the prairie fish and chips and it was outstanding! fries were salted to perfection and crispy! The fish had a tasty batter and was tender with a crispy outside! Food came out extremely fast and s/o to our server who great and friendly!
Came here for a bite to eat on Canada Day had a meowgarita (watermelon) and a burger with fries the gf had a beef dip. The fries were meh but the burger I think it's the best burger I've ever had (besides my own) and from a bar! One bite and I was in love! Service was good too gf enjoyed the heck outta her beef dip the drinks were tasty. I'd love to come back and try the stroganoff.
The Common is alright. I have been coming here for a few years now and have never had a bad experience.
On my last visit I enjoyed the fish and chips, which were prepared well and presented in an appetizing fashion. I do wish the French fries were perhaps a little bit less fried, they seemed slightly over crisp but that may just be a preference.
Their happy hour is pretty good, and they always have a nice selection of beers.
The room has a fantastic vibe that would suit a romantic date or a “Girls Night” really well. It feels intimate and special, kind of like how The Manor (RIP) used to be.
The other food selections are appetizing, and there is a nice variety, from small plates to heavier courses.
Truly fantastic experience here. Unparalleled vibes, love the artwork, staff was friendly and engaging. The food!! The drinks!! I cannot wait to come back, I was visiting for the week and The Common was my favourite restaurant in Edmonton.
Loved the food and vibe here. Staff were very friendly and always present when needed which gets noticed as we were sitting outside!
Went here for dinner, drinks and dancing. The drinks and food were quite good - we ordered the Poblano Perogies, Pad Thai Fries (both of which were absolutely delicious) - we also ordered Whiskey Smash, Beastly, Pimm's Cup, It Wasn't Me, Sazeracocoa, Serenity Now, Frosted Cosmo, and 2 draught beers - each drink was well made and balanced perfectly. Our server was a young Caucasian girl who wore glasses, she was super nice, helpful, insightful, and checked on us frequently. The bar had a nice ambiance, and the fact that there's no seating time limit is even nicer. The dj started around 930, and dancing started shortly after. The music wasn't really to our taste, so we danced for a little while, grabbed some drinks, and then left. Would definitely recommend this place if you want some good food, and drinks.
