This review is for having gone in Friday before 6PM. Â I have no opinion on what it is like later.
  The apps are half priced, which is surprising that they included Friday.  more surprising, the portions were impressive, full-sized.  The buff fingers and the Ultimate Nachos did not disappoint.
  Draft selections OK.......fresh Bass, Chicago Honkers.
Turn around now!! Don't go here. It's not worth it.
Music is all that techno garbage, crowd is not diverse, there's just a bunch of Quincy kids. Girls looking sexy in their freaking sweatpants and stained t-shirts, like straight up garbage, I'm not joking. Guys are sloppy drunk and there was a ton of old nasty pedophile looking men. Please, save yourself the dignity and skip this spot!!
I can't say anything about prices because I didn't even have a drink, once I walked in the door, I immediately wanted to leave. I'm thankful the cover was only $5 but I do feel like that place shouldn't charge a cover, they should be paying YOU to come in!
While I was on my way out, I heard this girl on their smoking patio scream "He just threw a rock at someone!" Â ...Just in case you didn't believe me talking about the classless people who come here.
I will NEVER come here again, when I drive by this establishment I will look the other way, like seriously. PLEEEEEEASE, skip this "club".
I went to Wednesday night trivia here last night, I'd been before but never had as bad an experience here or anywhere for that matter. Our waitress was unbelievably rude and unprofessional. There were six of us at our table, we ordered a few rounds of beers, and some special and regular priced menu items and were polite and respectful to her, even helped her out when she asked us to "pass that shit" to her. She was the only waitress and bartender on the floor, I did not even see a manger around.
She had asked my brother (who is a regular, and whom we would have not gone without) at one point, not to pay with more than one card. When the bill came, most of us settled up with cash but a couple of our friends did not have cash, so there were 2 cards to split. Sure, there is an ATM there but why should anyone have to pay $5 in fees to save this woman 60 seconds? There are no signs posted that say CASH ONLY. When handed the check book, she responded by saying " I FUCKING hate it when you do this to me, don't you EVER do this to me again". I was in shock.
I have waited many tables in my life, 10yerars +, including a regular trivia night, I completely understand why she would want to be the only one on (tips don't add up over $2 pizzas and .20 cent wings). I also currently work in retail and know what its like to be frustrated by the inconsideration of others. Â However, I would never in my all my years experience speak to a customer that way. It is completely uncalled for.
If you cant handle the work, get some help, or clean up your act and have some class.
UGH. just not a pleasant visit at all.
First off this is probably the only place in Quincy that charges a cover - what you get inside doesn't warrant a cover.
And why doesn't this place take cards? Cash bar only? Really?
Music wasn't good, might as well just had the radio playing.
I came here the night before thanksgiving and it was packed... and it was more a less a high school reunion.
I've been to this place a lot. Â The location is so convenient because it's next to a giant parking garage and in the middle of Quincy center. The DJ is terrible. Â Sometimes decent, but mostly terrible. Â I've stopped requesting songs because he never plays them. Â Don't go here looking to pick up people; it's better just to dance with you friends. Â You can do that as the dance floor is huge. Â Three stars for dancing. Â The food is decent. Â Absolutely nothing special, but not gross. Â 2 stars for that.
However, the drinks are terrible. Â I'd give it zero stars for the drinks. Â The owner actually poured water into my apple martini directly in front of me. Â To get technical, the cup size for any mixed drink is about 4 and a half ounces. Â Then they fill it to the top with ice. Â Then they give you a little vodka and a lot of juice. Â The beer seems ok, but the mixed drinks are probably the worst I've ever seen. Â Most bartenders are fair with service, but the owner is terrible. Â DON'T go to him; go to one of the girls. Â
Drinks are important and the owner really pisses me off watering down drinks directly in front of you, so I'm giving it 1 star.
This review is solely to let people know what AMAZING people work at the Commonwealth. Â My fiance and I were scheduled to be married at a fancy location this past Sunday, and our wedding was cancelled four hours before the ceremony by Plymouth Bay Catering. Â The Commonwealth's owner Sean offered up his establishment, the bartenders, waitresses and cook offered to come in on their day off and made our wedding happen with only four hours of planning!! Â The venue looked amazing, table linens and chair covers galore. Â The food was amazing (all our guests kept raving about the steaks and chicken/broccoli/alfredo pasta!) Â Everyone that works there was just as happy and delightful as can be...and they were working on their day off! Â They saved our wedding, they made miracles happen and we will forever be in debt to the Commonwealth for all our fantastic wedding memories. Â They have great food, great drinks, and even greater staff. Do yourself a favor, stop by, have a bite to eat, a drink, and go meet some people that have the biggest hearts of gold I have ever met in my life! Â Rachel, Nancy, Sean and Andy, you're the best!!
Review Source:During the day, this place isn't too bad. Quiet and friendly with good food. God help you if you're here on a Friday or Saturday after, oh say, eight or nine.
One of the biggest turn-offs to me after said hours is the cover charge. I think they're actually one of the ONLY places in Quincy that has a cover. I really haven't been to any other that does, and I do my fair share of drinking in my beloved city.
I think most of the clientele like to pretend they're on Jersey Shore, or have some level of class. It's seriously nothing other than club-sluts, guidos, wiggers, and wannabe thugs. I also don't see the point of even having a DJ. Whoever he is, all he does is play what one can hear on the radio anyway. They might as well just burn a CD with a ton of songs on there (that lasts over an hour and a half) and let it play throughout the night.
I actually had one guy threaten to "cut me" once. He was drunk off of his ass and his friends were level-headed telling em not to worry about him. Some fat latino guy. I spent four years in the Marine Corps infantry, and his fat-ass probably couldn't do any physical activity outside of the 16 ounce curl. I kind of regret not calling that bluff as I haven't been in a good fight since the Corps. Yea, I'm a bit cocky with that, but when you know your opponent has no formal training whatsoever, and you do, it can get like that.
There's always the one QPD stationed outside. I'm assuming that's just to keep the under-18/21 crowd out. Suck to be them in this city.
I'm giving it two stars because the waitresses are sweet. Else, it would be one star due to the shitty bar environment during regular bar hours. People keep telling me that this place is a bar. No, no it's not. It's a club at those hours. Signs of a club: guidos, club sluts, wiggers, shitty DJ pop music, weak-ass mixed drinks (to be fair, the beer is regularly priced for the area). It's a club.
I know they don't take cards during club time sometimes. However, I think that might depend on who you are or how you present yourself. They've never refused to run my tab on my card (one of my friends who frequents the place also has no problems with having cards run for a tab), but I've heard of others being told cash-only. I actually think I've seen it before.
If they want more business, they should include the other bar regulars and not just the Jersey Shore wannabe crowd. Seriously, I've been making fun of guidos/guidettes for ages. When the hell did they become popular?
OK, so I just don't get this place. Â I think it's for Quincy townees who just know the owners. Â I went here one night for take my dad, it's always SO busy so I just assumed it was good food. Â The place was torn upside down so I asked one of the guys working if they are in the middle of an event and he said it just ended. Â So I asked, if they were open, he said yes and I asked for a menu. Â He had the bartender give me an event menu which is not what I meant, hello? Â So then he said he was the owner, really? This is how you treat a customer? Â There was no one even in there and the menu is not that special, food was ok, I've had much better. Â The place needs a new decor it looks so Old and it was really dark. I will not be going here again.
Review Source:Why? Whywhywhywhywhywhy? This place! Every time people from my work want to go out they always go here. Maybe because it is roomy in the early evening? Maybe because it is horrible? Maybe because they are looking for classy gentlemen for future restraining orders? I don't know. But i keep coming back!
It's not actually horrible. On its own it's straight up medium. But when the sun goes down and the collars pop up (still?!) it becomes a truly dire situation. I will say that this is the bar in Quincy that the fine young men of our city seem to head to after their annual laundry day, so while they will be terrifying, they may also be clean.
Service here is actually fine. The staff are nice and the owners were very accommodating in helping a coworker set up a charitable function here recently. Seem like good people. The place itself stays pretty clean. Food is not awesome, drinks are not underpriced.
And I know I'll be back someday.
I have been here a few times for the club scene on Fridays/Saturdays, and that is simply horrible. Â A cover for bad music, small dance floor, and overpriced small drinks? Â The crowd is also a distinct Quincy trash scene.
Nonetheless, a friend wanted her birthday dinner here, so I went of course. Â I kind of knew it was a restaurant, but wasn't sure how that would play out. Â It was a Trivia night, which was okay. Â Our food took us an hour, which was odd considering it was two standard pizzas. Â My soda tasted incredibly watered down, which left me wondering how watered down the actual drinks are. Â (For those wondering, my vodka/cran was.) Â The empty cups and plates kept piling up, and no one came to take them.
The food itself was standard bar fare, and our waitress did seem to be doing her best. Â There was even a family with very young children eating near us. Â Furthermore, a table nearby was middle aged women and a five year old playing Trivia. Â To each their own, I guess.
I'd give the restaurant portion two stars, because even though it was bad, the waitress tried.
This review is only for the food and atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon at 2:00pm. Â The food was pretty decent - I got an oven roasted turkey sandwich "gobbler" that was very fresh and the sweetness of the cranberry mayo did a great job pulling the sandwich together. Â His burger was one of the biggest bar burgers I've seen in awhile.... but it was actually just too much. Â I adore boursin but the amount they put on this burger just didn't work. Â The fries were great but the onion rings had too much dried batter on them. Â I hate that.
We were the only two customers in the entire place but it took well over a half hour for them to bring out our food. Â They also had womens softball playing on all the screens. Â
The meal was like $21 for 2 sandwiches and 2 beers so that's good - but it was just an A-OK place to have a place to ourselves to eat and drink on a Saturday afternoon.
My friends and I came here during the summer, and I was expecting to have a lot more fun than I did. Â It is VERY divy, and I was not happy with the $5 cover at night! Â Commonwealth is a huge establishment, with both a bar/dining area as well as a huge dance floor. Â My friends and I came on a Friday night, and the place was packed. Â Although it's a great place for a big group of people, I found the drinks to be poorly mixed and not worth the $6-10 for them. Â There is a minimum that you need to start a tab; so we mostly used cash because we didn't know how long we were staying. Â I also found the dance floor and crowd to be shadier than usual. Â I wanted to see what all the hype was about, but now that I've experienced all that is Commonwealth...I probably won't be back.
Review Source:I want to give it one star and five stars all at once.
It's the worst because it's a wannabe club in Quincy.
'Nuff said.
No wait..
I do like how there's separate sections depending on where you want to be -- dining, two square bars, dance floor, pool tables, etc. Â However, at a certain point there's just craziness spilling everywhere. Â
The dance floor is a mass pit of Jersey Shore wanna-bes, dirty humping old men, girls with wardrobes straight off the racks at Tellos. Â Ick. Â Dig deeper there's a few normal people just looking to dance. Â Okay. Â
Turn to the right you'll see someone swallowing a face.
The bartenders were terrible. Â At each bar there were two people, but it took forever for them to circle around. Â They weren't ignoring people, but they just didn't seem to hustle.
Aw well, I'll still probably come here once or twice.
Oh yeah, it's also where this married woman I know goes to pick up gross men to cheat on her husband with. Â GO!
Ok. So.
If I go out, I don't like being groped by old, skeevy dudes, I don't like paying for drinks that are practically tap water, and I don't like getting pushed out of the way by middle-aged women that want to get groped by the skeevy dudes.
Lord, get me out of here. The music is boring, are they playing KISS108??? And I just paid a cover to get into this?
The only saving factor is that more often than not, I'm pretty lubricated by the time I allow myself to go here. In the moment, it all seems OK, and at times, I may find myself enjoying myself.
But then I wake up the next morning, sober, and back to my senses...
this place sucks, a cover, for what!?!?! Â Also they don't accept cards at night! whats up with that? the bar tender who ignored me for 5 min before actually talking to me, then pointed me over to an ATM. yea right, pay a huge ATM fee then have to pay for drinks. lame. I gave them two starts for the fact that they kept 2 pools tables when they changed names, even thought they are stuffed in to a tiny space and there is barely any room if you are there with friends or someone else is playing. Â
Also what really aggravates me is the fact that there is only ONE stall in the girls bath room, its always nasty, and there is always a line.
I can't stand this place.
Never had the food so i cant comment but as far as a dance club goes, this is your local yocal spot. Â If you are too lazy to head into boston this place isnt that bad. Most of the scenery meaning people and the decor is pretty blah but if you go with a big group of friends and are into the spot for the music you will survive the night. Â Music is a B-, decor looks like a cheap cheap porno set. Â I give it a D-. Â So dont bring a nice date here. Â This is the spot for the your local friends to cause a ruckus in.
Review Source:I'm the only one of my friends who loves this place.
There is a small cover but I think it's worth it. Â The place doesn't start to pick up till after 11, but until then you can entertain yourself by watching middle aged women trying to be hip by dancing by themselves. It's always hilarious.
The girls working there look like faneuil hall bar rejects and sometimes make a weak drink.
But the dancing is great and the place is really big. There are also two bathrooms.
I wouldn't go here looking to pick anyone up, the crowd is a little skeezy, but it's still a lot of fun to just dance party with your friends.
Edit: Taking it down to 3 stars after being dry humped by a fat dude the last time I was there.
i havent been in here since it has changed names and  had its makeover but i am happy to say that  i was pleasenly surprised with how great inside looked.  also they added patio for some outside dining which looks really nice.  their menu has expanded and has definaltly improved!!  staff was super nice and the food was delish (im telling you you have to try the onion rings!!!)  i used to avoid this resturant because of what it used to be ......but now i am happy to say i cant wait to go back!!!
