THIS STORY IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE COMMON PUB

“Any neighborhood space is a canvas for people to write their own experiences on... and everybody gets to leave with a shared experience, to actually be physically in the same space doing different things, which feels, in the wake of COVID, kind of revolutionary.”

Eric Goulange, co-owner, The Common Pub

Sundays means free pool all day. Wednesdays is 50% off for kids 12 and under, wings are $1 from 3 to 5 from Wednesday to Friday, karaoke alternate Thursdays with trivia, and Thursday is also dart league night. The pool room is available for parties, and this summer it will be the place to catch the Men’s World Cup.

If you’re getting the impression that that list hints at the energetic new life recently breathed into the riverside Housatonic mainstay formerly known as the Macano Inn, the Brickhouse Pub, the Common or Garden Pub, and now, simply, The Common Pub, you’d be correct.

New owner Eric Goulange has more plans for summer expansions, too…
