New Bar in Uptown

Post by BigWally »

There's a new bar that just opened in uptown Dallas. Anyone been there?

The Common Table
2917 Fairmount St.
Dallas, TX, 75201
(214) 880-7414
http://www.thecommontable.com/
Hours: Sun-Wed: 11am - 12am Thu-Sun: 11am - 2am

Supposedly, it has a Gman feel and a decent selection of beers and good food. I may have to venture down there this weekend and give it a try.

just looked at their beer menu... first place in town ( that I know of) that has Dale's Pale ale on tap..

House Drafts
Salvator (10 oz./20oz.) 5/9
Doppelbock – Paulaner Brauerei. – 7.9%ABV
Paulaner Salvator is the benchmark for double bock.

Hazelnut Brown Nectar (10 oz./20oz.) 5/9

American Brown Ale – Rogue Brewery – 6.2% ABV
Nutty twist to a classic brown ale.

Shakespeare Stout (10 oz./20oz.) 5/9
American Stout – Rogue Brewery – 6% ABV
Roasty. Creamy. Tantalizing bitterness. Thick, smooth, and attractive

Dale’s (10 oz./20oz.) 4/7
American Pale Ale – Oskar Blues Brewery – 6.5% ABV
2010 World Beer Championships – Gold Medal.

Smoked Porter (10 oz./20oz.) 4/7

American Porter – Stone Brewing Co. – 5.9% ABV
Chocolate and coffee overtones accented by a subtle smokiness.

Fireman’s #4 (10 oz./20oz.) 4/7
Blonde Ale – Real Ale BrewingCo. – 5.3%ABV
Perfectly balanced. Refreshing. Pair with spicy foods to put out the fire.

IPA (10 oz./20oz.) 4/7
American IPA – Stone Brewing Co. – 6.9% ABV
Everyone knows the IPA… this is one of the best.

Several of us headed down to the Common Table last Saturday. The beer selection is good. There are about 20-25 taps and about that many bottle selections. We were luky to get one of their last bottles of Stone Cali-Belgique IPA. Thanks Tim! The beer is a bit pricy, but at least you can get a full 20 oz pint. The food is very good. The bar is a nice little place, good for a date or hanging out with a few friends.

I will definitely be there, as i enjoy the meetings...

I went by the Common Room.. seems nice enough, the but the clientele appears to be a bit pretentious (the "cool" uptown crowd).. I can't tell about the restaurant itself as I only had got one beer from a bartender.. had no food.. place was crowded. nice outdoor patio..

now the beer, pretty good, but didn't seem to have the same impact as the cans ( not the same hop aroma or taste) but will have to extend my sample beyond the one beer.. :mrgreen:

There is definitely a high douchebag quotient at the CT.

Heard they had the Bear Republic Racer X Double IPA on tap a month or so ago. They're online bar menu is awesome. They could be some real competition to the Gingerman.
Is your beer intimate, hand crafted, and artisanally made?
