Hands down best place to watch a sporting event! Fun, lively, just a great atmosphere.
The food is phenomenal!
Curry fries and smash burgers are outstanding.

This is a great pub to have in GB. The people are super nice and make you feel welcome as soon a you walk in. So far we’ve only had the sliders and wings, which were great, but I have no doubt the other menu items will be just as good. Good beer selection and full bar.

My original review of this fabulous favorite spot is gone , but I could write 500 words about this comfortable, friendly, well staffed spot. Do yourself a favor and do not miss the food, which I believe is the star of the show.

On my first visit, excitement & imagination around what my life would be like with such an accessible oasis, I wandered the empty back room, pint of chav favorite carlsberg in hand, took in the pool table, Smith College throw, and the quaint window into the kitchen & tucked next to it trophies photos and memories from a previous lifes dream, that of a soccer player. It adds a layer of Ted Lasso charm to the already soccer obsessed spot.

Inside, Conifer green walls and double green tartan curtains set the stage for a waspy comfortability. Remnants and homages of iterations past remain throughout – the focal wall mural of kids playing in the in the river, a Macano Inn sign also advertising Knickerbocker beer that was no dobut hand painted, and I imagine they refurbed around it, ensconced as it is like a priceless work at the Clark. The wood-inlay of the watertower from it’s brickhouse days at the bar pass also remains. It’s steeped in the kind of generational, institutional history that new bars pay very credentialed people fortunes to try to cultivate.

Keeping the full wrap bar and chalkboards is so choice, it conures images of my first warm lager & a Sheffield United game in a tiny pub in Dore in 2002. I get that same feeling nestling into one of COG’s ample church pews & nest. The TVs are placed well, unobtrusive, and only audible during games. I will say every time I have been in, the playlist has been a pitch perfect- even & unoffensive, nothing thats going to inspire sudden singalongs or fisticuffs but also not the usual sleepy jazz or soft sad indie that makes me want finish the bottle, go home and put on Tom Waits. During the edition session of ths review it was loud, constant phish but fortuately I carry my nosie cancelling headphones everywhere now and wear them as needed with autistic pride.

My one gripe about the furniture, which is often the sacrifice of many a rapidly ballooning opening budget, that if your are sturdy of frame or carrying a few extra lbs, the black high top stools at the tables are a precarious proposition but not unmanageable.

The staff is well cast. The regular bartenders are experienced, calm in the face of high volume or aggravation, and full disclosure, while I do know them both personally for some time in the way the industry folks do, I wouldnt be afraid to say otherwise. Lets ensure all of the staff is well tipped to fend off the sure to arrive poaching offers. I need my Shelly Longs.

Common or Garden is the kind of place that feels steeped in the hyper-localized culture of soccer, and for all the better.

Highly recommend — excellent food, vibes, and service! They also had great bar games (pool, darts, etc.) and high quality TVs streaming sports. If you’re looking for a cozy bar with food beyond the typical “bar” food, definitely check it out! Also very reasonably priced.

My wife and I made our first trip here today and we absolutely loved it. Being able to get British beers on tap, and to get traditional British pub faire is amazing. Make sure to get the Chips, Curry and Cheese. One of the best smashburgers I’ve ever had too. Can’t wait to go back.

A much needed gem in the area bringing traditional pub fare with a great array of drafts & cocktails.

Not just for footballers looking to throw a few back during EPL Saturday mornings, this spot provided me with immediate cozy vibes. It feels like it has been here forever and I hope it stays that way !

A wonderful clean attractive pub with good food. The salads were fresh, and well presented. The menu had many Greek offerings which is what our party ordered. Excellent really. A lovely experience in every way.

Went there the bartender stated he was part owner of the business and was just constantly back and forth on behalf of his business partners when we were just trying to relax seems as if the business is struggling.. No burners nor fryers constantly complaint from a complaint front the worker form behind the bar which made sure allegedly he owned or was part owner of the bar we won’t be back super uncomfortable vibes..BUT could be an awesome place though .. A shame

Went to the pub yesterday with a friend (soccer fanatic) for the 1st time since New Years day to watch soccer and have a few beers and lunch. It just keeps getting better. Great food, maybe the best wings in the Berkshires, perfect pub atmosphere and great service. I’ve been searching for a local pub/hangout since Covid, and have definitely found it!!

We had a great meal today at the Common or Garden Pub while watching the Fulham Man U match. Krissy, in spite of her Spurs loyalty, is a gracious and knowledgeable host. Give it a try if you haven’t already.
