Common Ground Construction 'Almost Done'

The long wait for Common Ground, the new gastropub moving into Broadway Plaza in Arlington Center, should soon be over.

The restaurant’s general manager posted on Facebook Thursday (see below) that construction is “almost done with the exception of finishing randoms and a few little randoms thrown in” and job interviews will start “no later than Sept. 3.”

Common Ground, which has a location in Allston, is going in at 319 Broadway, the former Gemma space. Bob and Laurie O’Guin, of Newton, are Common Ground’s owners.

Common Ground’s license allows for 106 seats in the main, front room and an additional 90 seats in the back function room. The back room cannot be used for overflow seating, according to the license.

Common Ground also posted its opening beer list on Facebook (see below).
