Caboose Commons

Caboose Commons is a massive space in the Mosaic District that's open throughout the day. During the morning and day, it's a cafe and a three-level work space with free wifi. They serve breakfast, coffee and beer. After meeting a friend for a Wednesday morning breakfast, here's my experience: 1) Food: I ordered the scrambled eggs with mushrooms on bread and it was so bland. They gave me hot sauce, but it still tasted like nothing. I'd skip it. 2) Coffee: They have a full coffee menu and my vanilla latte was fine. 3) Space: It's massive! There's a large parking lot, three levels of seating inside and a dog-friendly outdoor patio. If you need a place to work, it's a good spot, but expect mediocre food and okay coffee.

This is probably one of the most creative and comfortable brewpubs that I have ever been to. I love the modern industrial look, as well as the creative murals on the upper floor. I only tried a handful of their beers, but they were all very good. I walked by this place many times, but never stopped by, because it was always crowded, but I guess I caught them on their slower hours this time, so I gave them a try and loved it. Cheers!

I enjoyed the beers here. We stopped by around noon for some apps and a drink. They do offer flights and this was a good way to enjoy several styles. There are things that I like about the QRS ordering system. It is straight forward and avoids miscommunication. You pay as you go and don’t have to wait for the check. This is all great if you are an introvert and don’t enjoy human contact. The downside is the lack of friendly service interactions. The industrial feel and the contactless service makes for an impersonal experience. I have been to the Caboose brewery in Vienna and I love it. I felt like the Commons was a step down in service and personality. However, it may play well to a younger crowd that does everything on their smart phones, but I miss the bar.

A solid choice for grabbing happy hour drinks, stopping by for coffee (and getting work done at one of their large tables), or even hosting parties and events. Can get crowded during peak hours, especially dinnertime and weekends (or when another networking events is held here), leading to loud indoor volumes due to the building's large, echo-conducive interior. Highlights: --Varied and thoughtful selection of beers, ciders, and ales, including local brands. Some cocktails and wines sold here too, but beers are definitely the main attraction. --Decent and well-brewed coffee and espresso drinks --Quality food selection, especially the breakfast items and lunch/dinner bowls --Plenty of tables across three floors and a very wide outdoor seating area --Intuitive and simple online ordering system. Helpful if you're tired of trying to calculate each member of your party's Venmo charges after a meal Some new customers might not be accustommed to the online-only ordering system and fair-wage upcharge policy--both of which are honestly good ideas that other restaurants and bars should follow--but almost everyone will find familiarity in the all-American food and beer selection, with a nice variety of coffee/espresso drinks, teas, cocktails, and wines to boot.

I’ve wanted to come here for a long time since we tried the Vienna location. Holiday break was the perfect time. Went midday and now I’m so sad I haven’t been sooner. Ordered through the app and you can watch what happens. Got our beers in minutes and they were all delicious. The food was superb too. All very fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Got TBLT, Poke bowl and, of course, a pretzel! Way to go Caboose! Highly recommend this to anyone. Just go… you won’t be sorry!

I love the warehouse-like look and feel! Caboose is comfortable, casual, and has a great layout for indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely come check this place out if you want a good time, good food, and tasty beer. There are QR codes at each table for you to easily use your phone to place orders and pay. Also, I was very pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed their coffee!!
