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.

Went here for a celebration dinner with a few co-workers. It was my first time. Really liked the atmosphere and our server was outstanding. The food however was disappointing. One of my biggest pet peaves is when my food doesn't arrive to the table hot. Well this was the case with my Beef Wellington I ordered. One of my co-workers also ordered the Beef Wellington and she had the same problem. All the food on the plate was just warm, like it had been sitting. Typically I'd send it back, but I didn't want to wait to eat and have my co-workers finished by the time it came. As for taste, the food was good. Value is okay for what you got. I wish there would have been a bit more sides. Maybe it was just an off night for the kitchen but based on my first experience, I likely won't be back or recommend.

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!

I came in for a drink with a few friends after a night out on the town. I got an old fashioned for $12.5. The bartender short poured me just a 1 oz when the menu calls for 1.5 oz. I paid $15 and waited for my change while the bartender served another patron. I had to ask for my change back and the the bartender seemed annoyed and gave $2 back. I didn’t bother asking for the 50c but it’s annoying as a customer to get short poured and incorrectly tendered. Would not recommend The Common to others.
Rating 2 stars because they have a live DJ. Just don’t expect good service.

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.
