The finished product.

After a LOT of hard work we are ready to open our doors. Introducing Communal..








We are so excited to serve you. And we're pretty sure you're excited too.

The storm before the calm.

We open on Friday to the public but are having three nights of private parties starting Tuesday so as you can see we have a lot of finishing up to do. There's already a great buzz in the air with all the amazing art being hung and everyone running around buffing dishes.








We are so excited to serve you and hope you will come in soon.

Finishing up at Communal.

This week has been a big one. We poured our concrete counter for the bar..





Got our signs and started painting the trim outside from maroon to gray..





Hung the track lighting..



Got our fancy chairs and shutters for the private dining room..



Put the concrete sink in the bathroom..


And got our van for the catering company..



We're one week away now so it won't be long!

We're almost there!

The lights have been put up and we're getting really excited. Next we're pouring the concrete for the bar.









We're staining the floors and getting the bathrooms done. We have a lot to live up to from the pizzeria's bathrooms but don't worry..we won't dissapoint.
