Since the opening of this wonderful gastropub it has been nothing short of a hotspot for great food and even better cocktails.The venue is brightly lit (during happy hour) and then dims down nearer the later part of the evening to fit in with the mood. For the more reserved customer who prefers a quieter scene, the best time to go is on weekday evenings. On weekends, Common Room resembles the perfect mesh of happening cocktail bar/nightclub.On this particular ocassion I enjoyed a nice meal with
The venue is brightly lit (during happy hour) and then dims down nearer the later part of the evening to fit in with the mood. For the more reserved customer who prefers a quieter scene, the best time to go is on weekday evenings. On weekends, Common Room resembles the perfect mesh of happening cocktail bar/nightclub.
On this particular ocassion I enjoyed a nice meal with friends accompanied by a few glasses of wine.
The usual order has to be the Tandoori Octopus. The innovative tapas dish posses
ses varying textures and tastes that simply work well together. The octopus is tender and complements the "crunch" the taco piece at the bottom provides. The spices used along with the mango and cucumber yogurt creates an interesting taste that you will well remember.We tried something new this time, figs with Goat Cheese. The figs were fresh and sweet, the cheese soft and pungent. Would definitely order this dish again.
The macaroni & cheese is a usual favourite for others, but if you fear foods that are too creamy, perhaps sticking to a couple of spoonfulls will suffice.
I am not a chocolate fan but I definitely had my share of the molten chocolate pudding. Moist, not too sweet and with a very rich chocolate flavour, it would pass many chocolate skeptics' test.
Price wise, it is definitely not cheap. Common Room does not have happy hour prices but as a whole for atmosphere, good food, good drinks it definitely possesses all these for a well-rounded fun evening.
