About Common Pub Detroit

Common Pub is a neighborhood restaurant and bar in Midtown Detroit, located on Cass Avenue adjacent to the Wayne State University campus. The kitchen focuses on pub-style comfort food paired with a diverse craft beer and cocktail list. The venue features multiple seating areas, including a patio and a private community room. Though not a dedicated gay bar, it is a well-known queer-friendly space that has historically hosted RuPaul’s Drag Race viewing parties and remains a popular gathering spot for a diverse, inclusive Midtown crowd.
