About Common Pub

Common Pub, located at 5440 Cass Ave, Detroit, MI 48202, offers a cozy and unique dining experience in the heart of Detroit. Known for its fun and quirky décor, including plenty of taxidermy, it provides a laid-back atmosphere that draws both locals and visitors. Whether you’re here for a night out with friends or a casual bite, Common Pub makes a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy classic bar food.

One of the highlights of the menu is the duck fat fries, which are crispy, flavorful, and have earned rave reviews. The fish and chips, especially the enormous fish served with it, is another favorite among patrons, although a touch of extra seasoning is often suggested to enhance its taste. The risotto also stands out as a delicious option for those seeking something a bit more refined. In addition to the hearty meals, the bar serves up tasty cocktails that complement the casual yet flavorful vibe of the place.

While the food quality is consistently praised, the service at Common Pub can be hit or miss. Some guests have noted that the staff, while professional, could improve their speed and attentiveness, especially on busier nights. Despite this, the friendly and business-like demeanor of the bartenders ensures that you still feel taken care of during your visit.

The pub is a favorite for both casual diners and those looking to enjoy a lively atmosphere, such as during the Ru Paul's Drag Race watch parties. Although finding parking can be a challenge, the street parking nearby is affordable, making it relatively easy to access. The combination of great food, a welcoming environment, and a fun setting makes Common Pub a must-try spot for anyone in the area.

What Our Customers Say

“ The food here is great, the vibes are great. It's a great place to eat. However, the servers don't match the quality of food. The guys dont do customer service very well, but it is what it is. Hidden gem as far as quality of food, just could be better service wise. ”

“ Stopped in for the Ru Paul's Drag Race watch party with a friend on a Friday night. Street parking is cheap but hard to find a spot close by. Service was a little bit slow, but they said 2 of the bartenders were in Mexico or something so maybe it's not always like that. Loved all the silly decor, lots of taxidermy and plenty of soft and hard seating. The food was pretty good. The fish served with the fish and chips was MASSIVE, I felt like everything needed a little extra salt though. The duck fat fries were delicious and very crispy. My friend enjoyed her risotto too. Cocktails were also very tasty, though I felt everything was a little bit pricy for a bar on a college campus. ”

“ Had a great time here on a Friday night for a Friends birthday. Great spot for everyone to get drinks and chat & their menu is classic bar food for the most part. The duck fat fries were very good. The bartender was very business and remained professional and kind. ”

“ Great atmosphere and great service. We went here right before we picked up our little guy from his first day of preschool. I had "the melty", tuna melt sandwich. It was good. However, I'm not a fan of rye bred with fennel, which this comes on. It just said it was on marble rye, which I've had that didn't have fennel. Next time, I'm going to see if there is a different bread. I also had the summer sprouts, Fried Brussel Sprouts, Bacon, Asiago Cheese and Dried Cherries. I could eat that all day they were that good. My wife had the Mack Avenue burger with duck fat fried french fries. This is her go to since she loves it so much, especially the duck fat fried fries. Great neighborhood to take a walk after you finish your meal as well. ”

“ Great little pub to stop in for a few after dinner drinks. We looked at the menu and we want to go back to try their food. They had a special Noel night menu though-so I didn't see their regular every day menu. Place had a fun vibe and the staff were really Friendly. ”
