Solid option when in the area, perfect for a post-museum cocktail and finger food. Tends to get louder as it gets later, but it's super chill and perfect for gathering and talking in the afternoon and early evening.
Why are they 3 star on yelp? The best happy hour in meat packing district! Half off appetizer and $6 draft beer! Also the manager ? Or the serving guy was very polite and friendly. Will definitely be back!
Such a beautiful spot with a great atmosphere was there Thursday evening , bouncer was nice & respectful as well was the server very attentive Drinks were great but the food was very plain could use an upgrade Overall great spot will be back
Absolutely love Common Ground! Jessica whips up the best margaritas in town - they pack a punch! Plus, their trivia nights are a riot. My brain may not retain the answers, but the laughs and good vibes stay with me long after. Highly recommend!
Great good. great vibe and I love that they host Question Party here. Super fun! Should def come out if you're available on a Wednesday!
Food and Drinks (3/5): The lychee and pear mocktail I got was quite good. The food offered was decent but not the best. The wings, sliders, tacos, and quesadillas were ok but some were a bit dry and not the highest quality. Service (5/5): Friendly and helpful service where the servers checked up on us frequently and were great. Someone or one of the staff accidentally took away my drink even though it was mostly full and they replaced it with no issue. Ambiance (5/5) Nice place with beautiful entrance and good amount of space. I came here for a company event and we had an area reserved. Interestingly it seemed like we were the only ones in the venue even though the other half of the place could've been available for others.
They had long drink which I was happy about. They need to get the cranberry one. We didn't get food. The service was good. It wasn't that busy for a Thursday night which was surprising. The bathrooms were filthy. I would go back and try some food as well.
Such a fun atmosphere!! We sat outside and got drinks in the evening as the sun went down. You can hear the music from inside; this place is so fun. Inside there are tables and standing room with a big screen and lots of people watching March madness. This is also a great place to dance! The service outside was a little slow, but they were pretty busy so it made sense. The drink deals are pretty good - we got a 32 oz shared jar aperol spritz ($50) which was a good amount for 3 people and cheaper than each getting our own. They have good happy hour deals Mon-Thurs. The chips and guac were good too! It was the atmosphere that made this place for me though.
