StaceyJune 17, 2010Cheap drinks and they have board games scattered about the room. Good place to go with a group of friends.
BULLDOG GinMay 6, 2012There's nothing better than a really dirty martini. Bring on the olives, ask for BULLDOG Gin.
Sarah NewhallSeptember 22, 2009Wednesday night trivia, 9PM Common Ground. Get a group together and compete in weekly trivia. Prizes included, good drinks, good bar food.
I wish this place had legitimate board games and not sad drunkenly ruined 90s games.
Hannah CastilloJuly 18, 2012They finally got new classic bar food! Hating their food was the only think that kept me from coming here more. Oh well there goes that.
Alejandro RojasApril 7, 2012If you like board games, this is a good place for you. Otherwise, nothing special in an area full of better bars
