Washington Restaurant Guide

CommonWealth is a chef-driven, beer centered restaurant with a Public House atmosphere. The gastropub concept originated in London when young talented chefs started buying old taverns and pubs and serving high quality, local ingredients. They did away with the frozen fries and purchased fresh fare from small farmers, butchers and artesian cheese makers, all the while never losing sight of the beer! With this as our inspiration, CommonWealth brings this "farm-to-table" approach and a great selection of American and European beers to the Columbia Heights neighborhood. Our menu offers "modern classics" of traditional pub dishes with a lighter focus incorporating fresh local ingredients and modern cooking techniques. We also offer an extended selection of "Snacks" the British version of small plates are perfect for diners who want to share or for bar snacking. In the traditions of local Irish Pub Common Wealth, as it is most commonly known, offers Columbia Heights and its neighboring communities a place to gather, converse, entertain, celebrate, and of course dine.
