We stopped in for a casual evening meal after a long day on the road. Got there on trivia night, so place was very noisy (but maybe it is always noisy--it is a young crowd). Food and drink took a while to arrive, but not the server's fault. She was very nice. My husband had fish and chips; I had a really delicious corn chowder and a good green tomato-bacon-lettuce slider. Orders of fries are enormous--be warned--and we could have done with a lot less of them (a bit greasy) but we certainly did not leave hungry.

Great relaxed atmosphere. Love the simple decor. The poutine of the day and the duck fat fried chicken were excellent. So were the macaroni potato salad and pickled veggies, but these were just an odd pairing as side dishes to the chicken. Good service. Edited from 4 to 5 because of the option to choose different sides, and all the food was great.

Loved stopping at the Common Pub for dinner! I had a great plate of Fish & Chips with their infamous duck fat fries. Don't sleep on getting a side of duck fat fries with their house cheese sauce - so good! Great staff - very down to earth. Get your parking validated (from $9 to $5) if you park in the Detroit Historical Museum parking lot.

Unassuming but great selection of both drinks and food. Consistently great service too. Definitely worth a visit, but especially when the rest of midtown is on a wait since they have plenty of room.

Everything on the food menu is a hit. The K dog is interesting, the smash burger is great, and all the entrees are top notch. Cocktails we had were great. The different sauces for the wings were tastes you won't get at regular wing places. The poutine of the day is always a interesting mix.

Get the beet and goat cheese. Duck fat fries are to die for. Wings as well. Okay the chix sandwich is killer too...... Everything is great.

The wings here are top notch! Any flavor :P

Such a nice ambience with mild music. Felt really nice to hangout out here. I ordered snacks as K-dog, very reasonably priced, tasty and available as vegetarian option as well. Though for happy hour, 3-6 pm on weekdays, they have very limited beer options but in general prices of beer is good. For drafts they have several options and some could be pricy, so good to check the price before ordering but overall great selection of draft, bottle and can beers. My servers/bartenders Bert & Jo were awesome. Jo asked me what kind of beers I liked and recommend a beer which I loved it. Bert suggested K-dog as vegetarian snack and that was delicious. I look forward to visiting this place again.

Great food, great staff, laid back crowd. Fun place to hang out!

Don't bother trying to order online for pickup, they don't bother to acknowledge the order until you ask for it, so you always need to wait.Food is pretty good and ambience seems nice at least.
