BOL Hospitality Group (BHG) is proud to announce that Common Room, a modern neighborhood American restaurant near Young Circle in Downtown Hollywood, is now open and accepting reservations. The restaurant offers elevated comfort food, from caviar-topped lobster rolls and refined pastas to crispy fried chicken, in a warm, inviting setting, complemented by a curated music program. With a hint of mystery, it’s both intimate and vibrant.
Located at 2032 Harrison St., Hollywood, FL 33020, in the heart of Downtown Hollywood, Common Room was designed to serve as a neighborhood anchor. Common Room’s philosophy centers on reliably delicious food and expertly crafted cocktails in a warm and energetic atmosphere. The Common Room team prides itself on hospitality, where guests become regulars.
Discreetly tucked within the restaurant is The Brooklyn Room, a curated speakeasy accessible by invitation only, which is planned to open at the beginning of August. Its approachable dining experience, layered with a post-dinner experiential cocktail component, offers guests two distinct experiences under one roof.
Co-founder Eric Douglas coordinated a team of South Florida-based companies to assist him in this project. Jewel Toned Interiors designed the interiors, and the architecture and construction were led by Kaller Architects and Lombardi Development. The intimate 2000 square-foot restaurant offers seating for approximately 65 guests in the dining room, with future outdoor seating planned.
Executive Chef Tanya Evans brings a culinary vision built on simplicity: delicious and familiar, executed with fresh ingredients. Evans comes to Common Room with experience at Barton G, Major Food Group and Café Minstral, a background that spans high-volume hospitality and detail-driven kitchens. Ingredients are sourced fresh from premium suppliers, with quality as the consistent standard across every dish.

It’s where happy hour effortlessly rolls into great evenings, and great dinners turn into memorable nights.”
