Commonwealth Brewing

Commonwealth Brewery has earned its place as a local favorite, and it's easy to see why! This spot offers a perfect blend of great beer, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. The pizza? Absolute perfection. Whether you're a fan of classic margherita or prefer something with a little more flair, like the Bianca, they've got a pie for everyone. The crust is just the right balance of crispy and chewy, and the toppings are always fresh and flavorful.Pair it with one of their expertly crafted beers, and you've got the ultimate comfort food experience. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the laid-back vibe makes it the ideal place to unwind with friends or enjoy a low-key evening.It's no wonder Commonwealth Brewery is a neighborhood staple. If you haven't been yet, make it a point to stop by. Your taste buds will thank you!

I'd say there was poor service, but realistically, there's no service. I'd recommend hiring some staff who can make eye contact, maybe even smile and try to treat people as guests. No bad experience, just an overall lack of any customer experience.

Since opening its big garage doors over 8 years ago in the old Chesapeake fire house off Pleasure House Drive Commonwealth had evolved.They now offer more brews in their tap room and have expanded to Richmond, Va. Their second generation brewmaster has been phenomenal! I have not been a regular at Commonwealth for sometime now with pandemic woes and business travel, but have returned this Spring. All aspects of the business are firing red hot after their expansion. The pandemic years seemed to never have slowed them down. Commonwealth now offers food from their own kitchen which was a struggle with the city to get it done. So food truck days are gone which is a bit sad, but it's progress as the neighborhood constantly complained of their presence where it parked. It'ssimple menu they can do well featuring signature wood fired pizza, but also burgers, wings and a few healthy options like salads. Everything is done by using a QR code and ordering off an app They even now offer a menu of their own coffee brand Common Coffee. Most recent was a great burger, fries and Wealth brew. A few years ago they expanded their footprint and added a huge park like area to the side with picnic tables. Its actually larger than what they need on a daily, but can be used for special events outdoors. They still offer a special events room indoors. For me what's changed the most is the atmosphere, yeah, yeah we now call this vibe in cool places. It's a beer destination with local vendors that offer items outside under tents, live music and a beefed up merchandise selection. From the beginning I felt Jermey, the savvy owner was tapping into areas where he could grow. It started with quick local distribution and has evolved into much more of a branding of the business. Locals have supported his tweaking of a vision that now seems to be hitting its stride. A strong 5 stars and will return this Summer for bites, music and friendships with epic brews in hand. Keep up the great work Commonwealth.

Commonwealth Brewing opens pretty early and is family friendly. During the day, people like to hang out here for brunch and lunch and get some beer. During the night, people play games and hang out and drink. When it's nice weather, it is very nice to sit outside the brewery. It is also a very good place to hold a decently large event. They have a separate room in the back or you can have it outside. The food is okay here. I think the food was decently salty during brunch. I didn't take a picture here, but the dinner menu is way better for drunk food. I recommend the wings and the pretzel. They have a good amount of parking spots in the gravel lot, so parking is not hard to find.

Met up with some friends for some drinks, plenty of seating. Staff was nice, mostly self serve, so you only really interact with the staff when you're ordering a drink. The food was stellar, I'd come back just for that alone! Combined that with some brewskis and some friends and you have a great day!

This was not our first trip to Commonwealth but we liked it before clearly so when we were passing through on the way to Cape Charles it was definitely on our list for dinner and a drink! Amazing pizza and the beers were so tasty we grabbed a variety to take with us!

Commonwealth is my favorite brewhouse in town. They do a phenomenal job with all of their IPAs and DIPAs, and I would definitely ask for a couple tasters or ask for their recommendation in order to see what your best bet is. Also, they do flights! It's tough to keep your selections limited but I would definitely try to get a nice variety of itesm. Also as a sidenote - there is a new branch in Fairfax. If you're in NOVA, highly recommend it!

I've been to Commonwealth Brewing several times for birthday parties, and it's always a great experience. Despite its smaller size, the place handles large gatherings well. Service is consistently quick and friendly.The food, particularly the pizzas, is flavorful and generously portioned--just what you'd expect from a brewery. The drink options are extensive, catering to all tastes. Whether we had a reserved room or not, the staff was always accommodating.With ample seating inside and outside, plus a welcoming atmosphere for dogs and families, it's a fantastic spot for any occasion. Whether you're coming alone, with friends, or hosting a party, you're sure to have a great time.

4.5 stars. Our pizzas were tasty. I like the vibe. I didn't even mind that the only way to order food is via a QR code. The people were nice and service was good. Half a star removed because you can only order food the way it is in the app. My husband ate the olives even tho he doesn't like olives. He would've liked more meat on his pizza. . My husband enjoyed his beers. My iced chai was okay.

Great outdoor environment. Bees are very unique and creative always changing and experimenting with new flavors. Food is wonderful loved the pizza flavors.
