"Maybe you need a little bit of time to warm up your vocal cords before getting on stage and impressing a crowd with “Eat It” by Weird Al. The Common Interest is one of those rare spots that offers both private rooms and a public stage. The main stage kicks off around 8pm (a little earlier on Fridays), but private rooms are available starting when the bar opens for $30 per hour. There’s also a kitchen with classic pub foods (we really like the fries here) and a full bar where you can get jello shots in syringes. " - nicolai mccrary
