This bar is incredible. Good jukebox , free popcorn and a nice patio . Is this the nicest "dive bar " in the area?

The hand-written list of available tracks is an indie-lover’s dream mix, featuring everything from The Stooges , Bowie and Patti Smith to Helium, Yo La Tengo and Archers of Loaf. Read more

One of the nicest local bars in Park Slope. Good selection of beers , great cocktails , jukebox and pinball , free popcorn , and friendly bar staff . Love Commonwealth.

Patrick Schlafer

Great beer selection . Solid mixed drinks . Free popcorn with your choice of seasonings to chomp on. Wrap it all up with some pinball and jukebox and you'll have a good night. ????

There's more to this place than the free popcorn . Grab a drink from the great bartenders and post up in the backyard . With your free popcorn , of course.

Angela Hu

Chill , unpretentious with a great jukebox selection. re: Rushmore's Ohh La La; highly recommend to those looking for a low key night.

Ingrid Stenquist

Honestly, this bar is stellar in comparison to others on 5th ave in south slope. Also free pop corn and pork slap on tap ! Personal fav kelso nut brown too!

christian svanes kolding

fresh free popcorn there for the snacking ! bartender makes respectable old fashioneds : had one with templeton rye , and a second one with knob creek kentucky straight bourbon . he did them justice.

Michael Monello

Friendly staff and pretty much the best jukebox in all of NYC. Television , New York Dolls, Stooges , MC5, Sabbath, Replacements, Bowie, etc. -- deep cuts, not the usual suspects.

Vasily Simon

Friendly bar staff will make you whatever you’d like to drink. The backyard is cozy .

Brook Shelley

Lovely, quieter bar . There is currently a large abominable snowman outside.

Pinball , backyard ,and a vast craft beer selection . It's low-key, casual and relaxed.

This neighborhood hangout always has solid draft beer options on tap , and house made Kentucky beer cheese !

This bar has a designated jukebox stool so you don’t throw your back out while choosing from its varied but consistently cool selections by the likes of Wire, Dinosaur Jr. and the Dead Boys. Read more
