Commonly Uncommon
We have something in Common. We are part of the same community. The Commons is a place for you. Warm + welcoming with a locally inspired menu featuring sustainable seafood, organic produce from our farm and local spirits + craft brews.
An Uncommon Experience
Blending a modern, comfortable aesthetic with vintage industrial, the Commons has bar and long table style seating for 120, plus a sun-drenched patio looking across at Victoria’s bustling Inner Harbour. Buck-a-Shuck oysters & daily drink features are just two of the reasons our Happy Hour was voted as one of the best in the city.
Meals are made for sharing at the Commons with choices like our Seafood, Skewer or Sushi platters or charcuterie board featuring our farm raised cured meats and pickled 10 Acres farm vegetables. Check out our seasonally focused lunch or dinner menu, happy hour and late night offerings.
