    My deli of choice for sandwiches. Also a great place to grab any kind of drink. Local beer, wine and fun sodas and juices.

    This place is like your favorite baja that you got at your first music festival way back when that seems a bit raggedy to others, but feels good and just makes you happy when you put it on.  Granted as a resident of MorComm I am biased as this place is near and dear to my heart but it is not to be missed if you are in the hood.  Way back in the day when Blake and Cress first realized the dream we jumped on board and have been enjoying the ride and the experience ever since!!!  Whether it's dropping in for morning coffee, breakfast/lunch/brunch from the deli or beers beers beers... this place has become the heart and soul of our neighborhood.  It embodies the best of what MorComm and Midwood have to offer... the crowd is the most eclectic thing you can imagine, from Izods and sperrys to skinny jeans, nose rings, full tattoo sleeves and mohawks you will see it all here.  People arrive by Range Rover, blown out Honda, Fixie bike, skateboard, or just cruise in on foot and fall in together and enjoy the scene.  The food is great... breakfast picks in our house are the "later hater" on everything bagel grill pressed and pimento cheese grits (yes you read that right), and lunch is a "Jack Kennedy" (egg salad and horseradish spread with bacon) on marble rye.  If you are into beer, then just go over and settle in and drink your way through the cooler... you will not be disappointed!

    Tank topped hipsters.

    Beer. Deli sandwiches. Vegan/vegetarian food. Jesus action figures.

    Apathetic and mediocre. A familiar old friend.

    This place rocks!

    Went here with the boyfriend, we had no idea what it was like and were very pleasantly surprised! Order food in the sandwich shop, they'll deliver it to you if you go to the bar (they are in separate parts of the building). They have beers on tap or any and every beer out there (ice cold) to choose from in their beer coolers. You can open a beer and drink while you shop! :-)

    They also have a nice wine selection, and the staff has rated some themselves (which I love!). They have old fashioned candy and food items, old timey sodas, etc. This place is my new favorite place and I will go back again and again!

    They have an outdoor eating area, and pooches are welcome!

    You MUST try their pimento cheese-they have won some serious awards with their recipe, which consists of at least 5 cheeses, made fresh daily! Their grilled pimento cheese sandwich with tomato is FANTASTIC!

    This place gets an A+++++ :-)

    This place is dope. Breakfast is not often a meal you enjoy out- at least in my case. But rolling into Common Market and hitting the deli for breakfast should not be missed. They offer killer affordable breakfast sandwiches. Sunday they do homemade queso for your ranchero wrap and I guess topping anything you desire. I enjoyed their homemade pimento cheese In a wrap (ever had pimento cheese melted? Nope. Me either. It was yum) they offer tons of vegan and veg options and tons of ready made sides and wraps to go. And yeah a totally rad beer, wine and snack scene. However, I'm here to tell you that breakfast/brunch at the deli counter is not to be missed. Oh and they will do grits with pimento cheese too. Worth it. Take it to go or sit on their newly expanded patio.

    Im from CT and I grew up going to NY Style delis. I like a HUGE selection of sodas and drinks, a HUGE selection of alcohol, TONS of snacks, odd things to east and GOOD sandwiches. This place has it all! Its such a great place to hang out at 2pm or 12am. You can drink in the store or on the patio. Everyone is SUPER friendly and helpful! I love love LOVE going here and I make the 20 min drive from South Carolina for it. This is the only place I know of like it in Charlotte.

    This place is pretty cool I must say. They have so many wacky nick knacks all over alone. Just looking around I know where a my "fun and joke" gifts will come from. The atmosphere is eccentric and the staff is pretty nice.

    they also have food especially for the vegan types. I am not a vegan, however I do love the food from time to time. My favorite are the breakfast sandwiches. The selection of beer and win is really good.

    This is also a little hangout spot with a back patio. I usually visit here early in the morning. Parking is not great, but not many places in that area are. I would recommend stopping in here at least once, especially in the morning for the breakfast.

    Really neat place!  Great food in the deli, lots of home made treats.  Really good beer selection.  And all the neat knick-knacks.  Great place to stop by, explore, and stay for a brew or two!

    I've been here a many times now for coffee and a breakfast sandwichs. The staff is very friendly and the store has a great eclectic vibe.

    The food has always been great and I didn't find it bland like some previous posters. I'm not sure what they ordered but everything I've tried has hit the spot. Even their spicy food is well done. Their pepper filled Dragon Slayer breakfast sandwich hits the spot... spicy but not so much you can't taste the rest of the ingredients.

    So far I've only hung out here in the morning but heard it's a fun place to be in the evening as well.

    I want to love the Common Market SO much.  After all, it's a quirky little place, with a great selection of interesting beer, wine and grub.  

    The things I love:  
    1)  I love their selection of beer and wine.  I feel madly in love with a Belgian beer, and this is one of the few places in town I can buy it.  It helps that it is so close to where I live, too.

    2)  I love that they have beer and wine tastings on occasion.  Nothing like trying new stuff!

    3)  All the staff people working there are awesome and friendly.  They helped me find what I was looking for and even recommended some good beers to me.

    What I don't love:

    1) Their food is really bland.  I have tried two of their sandwiches and two of their soups.  Both times I was incredibly disappointed.  The soup tasted watered down and their sandwiches were flavorless and dry.  The first time we thought maybe it was just a bad day; after the second time, I think I just need to give up on their food.

    2) The parking is not great.  Now that they have finished some of the construction on Commonwealth, you can actually use some of the street parking.  However, on a busy night, all these spots are taken and parking is still limited.

    3) This place is always crowded.  The space is cramped in there, with really narrow aisles.  The crowds make it difficult to search through the shelves to find some great brews.  It also makes it difficult to order food when the space is small and crammed with people.  I am still never sure if I'm cutting in line in front of someone.

    In sum, I love the staff and the great selection of beer and wine.  This is what will keep me coming back.  However, I think I'm going to pass on the food from now on.  Overall, I give it 2.5 stars.

    I love this place. The idea of just going there gets me all excited. There are some many reasons I love the Common Market, but numero Uno is the atmosphere/vibe. It's so laid back and chill, but everyone is having a great time. People are so nice and will offer up suggestions, wanted or not ( I always want them) on what to check out. It's always fun to explore and see what new/different products they have. I try something new every time visit, ranging from some snacks ( great cookies), different beverages (Kombucha, get it, you won't regret it) wine, beer etc. I am sure to be by more often now with summer rapidly approaching, and it is walking distance from my house.

    One of the best beer selections I have ever seen in such a small place (anywhere). Some nights this place turns into a bar where you can just go into the cooler and get anything you want. I'd actually rather go hang out at this market than many bars in the area due to their insane beer selection, vibe, and good prices.

    Great selections of wine, beer, mead, and sake. I've popped into their deli numerous times and for something quick and premade I've never been disappointed. Cute novelty items and snakc, sweets, and if you're a *cough* smoker, their selection is a decent as the any corner store and their "premium" brands of  tabacco, cigars, etc. are usually a bit cheaper than the smoke shops, obviously. A friendly, helpful staff, and a warm smile from a lot of the patrons. A place to like.  If you're looking for a place to chill and pregame previous to an event/party . Also keep a look out for bands and performances, in case you're looking for local music and socializing, or you wanna avoid crowded places in the area. I think that if you've got the time and you haven't you should stop inside and see what you'll like. I'm sure there's something.

    Everything you need in a neighborhood market!
    Their sandwiches are great and cater toward all different foodie groups. You can go vegan, vegetarian or meat-lovin! They have draught beers, wines by the glass and a whole back room full of micro brews and fun wines that they will cork free of charge.
    The back patio is perfect for pretty days.

    Love this place. Great food, Great people Great Drinks!!! my only complaint is the sealing looks as if it has never been cleaned in the history of the store. But the beer selection makes up for it.

    Five stars simply because there are so few cool places in CLT! Nice little market where you can get knick knacks, some food, some drink. Little outdoor are between two buildings has a cozy, alley feel. You can crack open that beer out there, too. The writing all over the wall is kind of lame, but hey, these Charlotteans need all the outlets they can get in this buttoned up southern banking town.

    Love, Love, Love.  This is a grocery/deli/bar/concert venue/hipster watering hole.  They have cheap beer and wine, crazy decor, best beef jerky in the WORLD ( no exaggeration ), and always a fun performace or activity on the calendar from music, to art, to comedy, to a talent show where the host played a nose flute to ELO. Yup.  I saw it happen.

    Came here for a beer and a sandwich for the rating was quite high.
    Ordered an ESB for beer time was nigh.

    Olympian wrap was filling and decent.
    The beer selection was fresh and tapped most recent.

    Indie rock  and great atmosphere.
    Glue my ass on the barstool I would pleasantly adhere.

    Come for the noon I highly support.
    A five star review you will surely report.

    This place is very Plaza Midwood hipster....appropriate for the digs of the neighborhood.  I'm far from hipster but have no problem fitting in to grab something.

    I went on a Saturday night with a group of friends after dinner for some drinks.  I agree with everyone regarding the selection.  Awesome!  Small bar serving wine by the glass, or you could just purchase the bottle!  It's a place where you can go to socialize and not break the bank.

    There was live music this night in the alleyway/patio area.  The thing I did not like about Common Market was how tight it was.  You could hardly maneuver in and out of the building because of the crowd of people.  I felt very claustrophobic and like I was at a street festival, which is not a feeling I like.  There is also zero air circulation in this alley area so if you are not a smoker, I would not recommend.

    I have heard that the food is great!  I live right down the street but haven't tried it yet.  Wanted to update this- I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon so I missed the deli service, but I did grab a premade tuna wrap and a huge vegan cupcake.  The tuna wrap was nothing out of the ordinary.  The cupcake was huge and the frosting was great.  I guess they are made at the South End location.

    A definite five-star experience.  You can get a unique, and ever changing list of, draft beer from the bar, or just pick one from their extensive selection in their cooler and have the cashier crack it for you.  

    Lots of cool options, and a deli where I first came to like spicy mustard (after 28yrs) because they have the fantastic Boars Head w/ White Wine product in packets.

    It can't really get much better for a place that is technically a convenience store (on steroids)

    The workers have been much friendlier in recent visits since the time that I originally reviewed the CM.

    Okay, so I go here for beer and socializing. For that this place gets four stars. It is unique, the clientele is .... Interesting, and the beer and wine selection is the best possible within four miles of my house. When I come in here to buy beer(let me know if your experience is similar), I tend to spend 15-20 minutes in the beer aisle, eyes 10 inches from the glass. The salivation and incredible indecision have to make my alcoholism and beer snobbery apparent.  If you like beer and wine and live near this place it should be your go-to "support a local business" place to stock up for your grill out, fancy dinner party, or lonely binge.

    On to the food, though. I don't like it. Maybe it's just not my style but ive eaten here three times and never enjoyed it. Take that with a grain of salt, my friends sing their praises to the high heavens of the deli.

    In summation: buy beer here. Buy wine here. Imbibe in the unique atmosphere, with some unique music, then stroll over to snug harbor for a crowd so unique you won't even think you're still in Charlotte. Try the food, if you like it let me know, I want to find something I like to eat here!

    Last week I was here 4 times; I think it's safe to say, "I love this place"!

    The Common Market has a great selection of all kinds of drinks (alcoholic and non), snacks and oddities from Archie McPhee (my favorite store in Seattle). It's a really chill place to grab some food and drink and just sit down with friends for some good conversation. I don't drink, so it's a great place to go with friends who do where we can all enjoy our own thing without pressure to order more.

    The staff and other people who come here have always been friendly and nice.

    And to top it off, they have boar's head meats and cheeses and make a damned good sandwich (breakfast and lunch)!

    Lurves me some Common Market (4.5 stars!) The main thing to recommend this place is their extensive and impressive beer selection. They literally have something for every season/taste In winter I was warming up with some stouts and now that summer has rolled around I'm kicking back and enjoying a nice hefeweizen.

    After you've picked up your food/beer you have the option of leaving or enjoying it on their tiny tiny back patio. I always choose the latter as I enjoy socializing with my buddies and watching the super diverse crowd that is rolling through. (They're also watching us. An older lady told my friend and I that we were "very pretty boys"..thanks?)

    Often they have live music that is also a treat.

    The price is right. Service is meh but it's a gas stations (basically) so whatever and the overall vibe is pretty cool. Definitely a spot I recommend.

    They don't carry any of my favorite beers and I still want to make this a regular stop on my weekends. I've only been once, but I hear tales of live music and delicious food....
    I love the crowd, all hipster ish and semi conscious and somehow still cool about it. It's a great space even though there's a complete disregard for one's desire to sit down. You can still make it work if you try, though. My friend and I found some space on the patio bench and pretty much camped out with our purchases. It was good.

    holy college crowd!  We were definitely the oldest people there, but we had such a blast!  This market is a blend of eclectic food & drink offerings that you can take out with you or eat/drink onsite.

    We had looked for live music and found Remy St. Clair which sounded interesting so in we went.  The stage area is at the front of a long, narrow patio with some seating, but mostly standing room.  I sat on the end of the stage and didn't feel out of place at all (but that's just me).  Even though there were people smoking in the crowd, because there isn't a roof it wasn't bothersome.  The band played a fun and lively mix of everything including original material.  

    We purchased a bottle of wine (or two?) and the bartender was happy to provide glasses for us.  We had some little nibbles that we purchased there and really had an amazing evening.

    Why hello, common market, and look at your stellar craft beer selection!

    I must say, common market is an amazing local staple. Half of the fun is educating yourself on the astute choices of brews to choose from. You just seem to feel like branching out and trying a micro/craft brew that you've never heard of before. Or, for the hipster at heart, grab a PBR and join the crowd. Their selection varies, so be sure to check back for seasonals and different locales to be featured/available.

    I love the giant drums of beer and glass bottled coke throughout the shop as well. Makes it feel less like grocery-esque for a quick grab n' go.

    The deli is a phenomenon. Friendly for the typical sandwich aficionado and the vegan/veggie types. The flavors and combinations are endless and the deft hands of the deli staff move the lines faster than other places.

    Gotta love the niche humor and accessories/toys for sale. Always good for a gag gift or oddly celebrated white elephant party in July.

    Something for everyone here. Grab a six pack to go, a draught with friends or snackage for the road.

    Never a dull moment for this plaza midwood hearth. Always a pleasure to visit.

    If a convenience store could have a personality, it would be the Common Market. It would also be a hoarder of sorts. The main difference being that they do not mind getting rid of (selling, not giving away) their stuff - they just replace it with more when stock gets low. But like most hoarders - and like others have mentioned - the place is packed.

    On the one hand, there is nothing quite like CM, and that includes the South End location. This spot has a shortage of parking, though you can make do if you try hard enough. The deli is up front rather than being tucked at the back, and finding a spot to mix and mingle can be a challenge at best. If you want to kick back and relax, South End may be better - it doesn't make this one bad, it just makes it different.

    If you want to drop in and grab something, you may be fine, even if you do want to hang out for a bit. Just recognize that it is probably not the relaxing oasis of the other location.

    They have a really good beer selection that's unique and diverse. The coffee is quite good here too! The only downfall is this place is it can get a little crowded but I guess that just speaks to how cool it is.

    I love little places like this.

    As calling it a super market would be an insult, the (nothing) Common (about it) Market is well deserved 5 stars. Indeed, I have nearly lost friendships for failing to introduce them to this place in a timely enough manner.

    While I can certainly understand the complaints about seating (indeed seating is limited), I see CM as a market first and as an alcohol-imbibing location as secondary. Think of it this way: how many seats does Harris Teeter next door provide for patrons drink their purchases? Exactly.

    So despite any shortcomings, it is enough for me that one can drink a beer on tap or a glass of wine WHILE ordering a fantastic deli sandwich (they have a great deal for grilled cheese and soup) and getting a few snacks WHILE forging through what is probably the best wine and beer selection this side of town. Add fun wine flights and beer tastings alongside live music and you have a winning combination.

    The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and can recommend some great finds or order discounted bulk of your favorite drinks. And in a final coup de gras, CM has some legit sake and plum wine (not the crap you usually find in restaurants) that was actually made in Japan. This makes me very happy.

    Common Market is a great place! It has one of the best beer selections in Charlotte. (They also have a lot of wine) You can get good microbrews for a decent price and enjoy them there or take them home. There is occasionally live music and other events on the patio and behind the store. But even when there's not the patio is still a great place to sit and socialize. The only downside to the patio is that it isn't that big and can get crowded and smokey. Inside there is a great atmosphere with an eclectic music selection and usually interesting people with whom you can talk. Inside there is also a deli area with sandwiches, soups and salads. The menu includes vegan options if that's your thing. There are also a lot of interesting trinkets you can buy.

    The Common Market is a great place to sit with a group of friends, a special friend, or by yourself. There are areas that get very loud but there are a couple corners you can find that are quiet enough to read by yourself all the while enjoying tasty beverages and food. It's also in a great neighborhood where you can walk to a number of other fun places.

    I'm a touch partial to the CM in South End, even though I know this is the original mamma jamma!

    Really, what's not to adore? A myriad of interesting bottled beer and wine, fresh pints off the tap, a great crowd and excellent live music. Plus, if you're feeling snacky, there's a plethora of choices - tasty sandwiches, chips, cupcakes, salads, soups, etc. There's a bite for everyone, regardless of your culinary curiosity.

    And yes, Common Market offers some of the best people watching around. It's a very delicious utopia, right in the heart of Plaza Midwood.

    What isn't there to love about CM?

    They have excellent selection on wine, sake, beer, and other libations.

    The feel of the store matches a myriad of different occasions, ranging from a weekly hang-out with friends to a great place to have a first date. They often have live music and showcase some local DJ's spinning some awesome tracks.

    The deli selection is excellent and the food is always fantastic--I personally love to get a bagel with sausage, tomato, and spinach. I'm personally not a vegan, nor specifically in the need or want to be extremely health-conscious, but there are always multitudes of vegetarian and vegan options that even the pickiest eaters (like me) can enjoy.

    What makes a venue besides great drinks and food? The atmosphere. It's slightly alternative, accepting, and a comfortable place where you can sit back and enjoy yourself.

    I don't know if there's anything about CM I don't love. Maybe the parking sitch during the day when it's particularly hopping but that's so not their fault :)

    This place is a deli w many vegetarian and vegan options, a watering hole w delicious beer, wine, and my fave -sake!- available to purchase and enjoy on site (hello, pregame?), a performance space showcasing local talent (DJs, live music inside the place and outside on the patio, female wrestling out back, noise show, etc), and the perfect location to buy White Elephant/Crazy Gift Exchange gifts (seriously, they've got loads of kitschy things).

    Their grilled cheese and soup daily special is filling, yummy, and a steal at only $6. The selection of kombucha teas rival Healthy Home Market and Earth Fare. The music on Thurs & Fri nights always provide eargasms. The sake selection is expanding and I'd like to think it has a tiny bit to do w me turning all my fellow CM goers on to the bottles of nigori they carry.

    In case you are wondering: No, I don't nor have I ever worked at CM and no, I'm not dating anyone that works there. I'm just a girl sitting in front of <a href="http://Yelp.com">http://Yelp.com</a> asking it to love Common Market.

    Common Market is still my favorite place in Charlotte.  I just wanted to update and note that the sandwiches are always unbelievably delicious from the deli.  Please, please, please, PLEASE try the tuna (unless you're vegetarian).  It's a "super secret" recipe, and it's super delicious and addictive.  There's something about it that sets it apart from any tuna sandwich I've ever had.  (I happen to know the secret, thanks to a friend who is a former employee of the deli over at SouthEnd, but I ain't tellin'!)  Try it for yourself and see if you can figure it out!

    The grilled cheese (with your choice of bread and TWO CHEESES!!!) is also amazing, and perfect for those mornings when you maybe had a little bit too much to drink the night before and need to soak up the alcohol residue with buttery, grilled bread and rich, gooey cheese.  

    There are also tons of other sandwiches, and options for creating your own.  Omnivore or herbivore can find their pleasure here.  

    No matter where I live or move to, Common Market will always hold a very special place in my heart.  It's a delicious deli, eclectic convenience stop, pleasant hang-out spot, and beloved Home Base forever.

    "Hibernation Ale?  That looks like...that looks like it would make you...HIBERNATE!"

    Right you were, my good homeless crackhead.  Right you were.  Common Market is legit.  They have an outstanding and eclectic beer selection.  You'll find more foreign entities here than at a Model U.N. convention!  On one of my outings to this quirky establishment, I tried a Lebanese beer via an employee recommendation.  Success.  Who would have thunk it?  When they aren't invading Israel, it seems those feisty Lebanese brew a damn fine beer.  CM also has some POTENT beers, I'm talking 8-15% bad boys that are more arduous to find in this country of watered down Millers and Keystones.  The aforementioned Hibernation Ale was one of these high octane brews of which my friend and I split a 6-pack of.  Boom baby.  That malty concoction had us doing the opposite of hibernating.  

    One of the coolest things about CM is that you can buy your beer in the store (single or 6 pack) just like a regular gas station/convenience store...but here's the catch...you can drink it in the store!  Now, I know from personal experience that when I try to shotgun a 4 Loko in a gas station, it is highly frowned upon.  But not at CM!  So basically, you're drinking at a bar, but paying store prices, and all without tipping!  Boom, roasted.  Of course, they also have a few beers on tap (mostly seasonal) which were quite good...but from here on out I'm sticking to the store selection.  Bang for your buck.  That's what she said.  

    The outdoor patio is very cool...pay no heed to the Hibernation Hobo, and you're good to go.  If you play your cards right, he'll even put on a freestyle rap for you with his upper-class white friend.  I'm not talking Em and Royce D here...but rather Canibus and Benzino.

    Reviewing Common Market on Yelp seems almost like a right of passage. Will I be the first yelper to extoll the virtues of this deli/convenience store/bar? By no means, but do I honestly value this local gem? You bet your bottom dollar! Common Market's strength is that it can be many things depending on what you need.

    Hungry for a meal? Go into the deli and you can choose from one of their concoctions (I recommend the reuben on rye, no mustard) or make up one of your own. Vegetarian? They have plenty of options for you as well (The mid-eastern wrap is particularly tasty).

    Just looking for a snack to quell the (possibly late night) munchies? They have all kinds of tasty chips, pretzels, cookies and soft drinks to satisfy.

    Oh, you wanted a slightly stronger drink? Well you are sure in the right place. Chilled, room temp, individual, 6-packed, in a case or on tap, Common Market has a beer selection to astound. Whether it's a PBR night or you are looking for your favorite craft brew they are prepared. I should mention they also sell wine, but with so many unique beers I tend to forget.

    Did you want more of a destination than a grab and go? No problem. They've got tables inside and out on their patio. They have weekly live music performances. Or you could just pick up a copy of the paper and do the crossword.

    Worried about parking? They have spaces in the front, a lot in the back, there is street parking and a large lot around the corner. Oh, and they have bike racks out back.

    Do be advised that they have a $5 credit/debit minimum, so have cash if you are just grabbing a snack or drink.

    I'm definitely going against the grain on this review compared to many others before me. I'm not quite sure what the fuss is about. Husband and I were driving around looking for someplace new to try..."The Common Market has so many great reviews, let's do it."

    The parking lot is small, but we found a place to park. I thought, "Wow, this place is hopping already. Can't wait!" However, once we entered everything came to a screeching halt. It's a weird combination of convenience store meets deli meets poor college student's rental home. There's stuff EVERYWHERE and it's completely overwhelming. The deli is on the side and there's a little bell to ring when you want to order...apparently there's cooler places to be and people to hang with when they're not serving up sandwiches and soup.

    The atmosphere is not really chill and "hippie-esce" like I was anticipating. It was more edgy and raw, which was not appealing or inviting for my taste. The music was not laid-back, more like aggressive.

    We grabbed a tea and headed out only to top it off with the cashier saying that they do not accept credit cards unless the sale was over $5. Grabbed some munchies to push us over the mark (one drink, one package of crackers for nearly $7 = robbery). Geez.

    Plus side: They do have a huge variety of beers and wines. Seems like people get pretty comfortable.

    Downside: Not for me.

    Gold mine!

    I visited this place recently with my brother.  After a long afternoon of outdoor labor, I was more than excited to hear that we were going to purchase a couple of cold ones to unwind.

    When we pulled up to this place, I thought to myself "Where in the hell has he brought me?" I definitely learned that you cannot judge a book by its cover after visiting this place.  We made our way to the back of the store near the beer display case where my brother began to strike up a conversation with a man whom he knows simply as "the beer man". I don't know if I would ever want to be affectionately known as the beer man myself, but this man has definitely earned the moniker in my eyes.

    Glancing at the beer display, I quickly realized that I was familiar with less than 20% of the beer selections and had actually only had about 10%.  Thats where the beer man comes in.  I think he could sense the hesitation in me with regards to my search, so he came over and began to give us a ten minute spiel on the different kinds of beers that he stocks, what they taste like, what they are made from, where they are brewed, etc. We went with his recommendation and were very satisfied with our purchase.

    It is interesting to see the very different blend of people that frequent this place. I even saw a guy there that was dressed like Prince from the Purple Rain movie.

    If you are looking to sit back and drink a good beer rather than the traditional busch or miller product, I would highly recommend making your way to the Common Market for a wide range of quality beer selections.

    Oh yeah, they have other stuff too.
