The brewpub collaboration between Oliver & Bonacini and Big Rock is now open at the corner of Liberty St. and Atlantic Ave

The venue has been designed by award-winning firm DesignAgency and combines contemporary and industrial elements, showcasing brewer’s tools that include six fermenting vessels.

The brewpub is set in a two-level heritage space with Liberty Commons occupying the entire lower level and featuring a bar and dining room.

Also featured are two customizable private dining rooms: Barrel Room and Drink Tank.

The main level houses Big Rock Brewery’s Beer Shop and tap room designed to allow guests to enjoy a pint while casually dining on select menu offerings from Liberty Commons.

Liberty Commons’ culinary prorgramme is driven by O&B corporate executive chef Anthony Walsh, district executive Chef John Horne (Canoe, Auberge du Pommier), and newly appointed Chef de Cuisine Ryan Lister (formerly of Canoe).

Big Rock Brewmasters Connor K. Patrick and Dan Ellis are overseeing the brewing program at Liberty Commons.

Ellis explained: “We’re thrilled to be working closely with Chef Ryan and his incredibly talented staff to craft beers that both complement and enhance the outstanding dishes being created.

“We are excited to brew under the same roof as such flavour experts and we fully intend on utilizing that tremendous resource to push the envelope.”
