CommonWealth Micropub opens in Emeryville today

Emeryville residents have a new spot to wet their whistle as Commonwealth Micropub opens today at 4 p.m., as noted by East Bay Express.
As previously reported here, owner Ross and Ahna Adair's newest bar will be a smaller version of their popular British style pub CommonWealth Café and Public House on Telegraph Avenue. Taking over the former Café Biere space at 3986 Adeline Street, the Micropub has only around a 20–25 seat capacity (in addition to outdoor seating) and so will offer table service only with no physical bar.
To start, there are eight beers (and three ciders) available on tap, including local breweries such as Altamonte, Linden Street, and Drakes. A full kitchen, meanwhile, means a more ambitious food menu consisting of British and British-Indian pub fare such as Yorkshire pudding, a vegan bangers and mash, mulligatawny soup, and Scotch egg with curried ketchup.

And unlike CommonWealth in Oakland, the Emeryville location is open only in the evenings starting at 4 p.m. from Tuesday through Sunday.
