Has a very welcoming environment; low lighting to make you feel comfy. The staff is super friendly and their burgers and sweet potato fries are equally comparable to B&D Burgers! A surefire must go!!!

We recently moved to Charlottesville and are absolutely in love with this place! We haven't eaten there, just drinks. Amazing! People are nice and service is fast. Thumbs up!👍

Nick is the Golden God of cocktails. Seriously. He makes cocktails like they were made in the golden age of cocktails. He's an artist, a scientist, and a historian of the drink.

I've never been disappointed with Commonwealth. They offer a great menu for brunch or any other meal, with lots of variety and flavors!

Local sourced fried chicken sandwich, and a pint of Bold Rock cider = all Virginia lunch of champions! T. Jefferson would totally chow down on this with pride.

Being blessed with quite a selection of delicious egg and brunch spots in NYC, I must say, the vegetable omelette rates nicely.

Had the BBQ Shrimp and Grits. Little heavy on the sauce and came with very spicy slices of sausage. Good meal for brunch.

Dine downstairs for amazing food, then head upstairs to hang out at the Skybar. An entirely open air bar and lounge!

The service is nice and they have a good cocktail selection, but I honestly don't get what all the hype is about.

Best food and drinks in C'Ville. You won't be disappointed.

Vaping is allowed on the upper patio, unless other customers complain. No strict policy.

Don't sit at the lopsided two seater tables by the balcony. They get more drink than you will.
