Commonwealth:
If Kafka lived in Park Slope, he would hang out at Commonwealth. Outside, chalkboard-written proverbs lure in the crème de la literati, while inside the crowd lives up to the hipper than hipster expectations. Beers on tap are the norm, but a long list of martinis keeps the Slope’s after-work crew snubbing those Manhattan prices. Sarcasm runs deep in this joint’s want ad section (literally, there is a bulletin board full of seekers), but don’t expect anyone to glance outside the group they showed up with. Hate feeling like the biggest loser in the bar? Steer clear of this nabe staple. Don’t give two olives? Then there is always a stool or a patio bench in the summer waiting for you. And your leather journal.
