Commonwealth is getting down to brass tacks with a patio party to beat the band. On Tuesday, August 30th, the Kendall Square spot will christen their revamped outdoor space with a live performance from the Brian Thomas/Alex Lee-Clark Big Band. The 17-piece ensemble will rock the restaurant patio, starting at 6:00pm, with a whole lot of funk and soul. There’ll be a la carte bites and ice cold beer for revelers to refuel at the summer shindig, so get up offa that thing and head over (dancing shoes recommended). Call 617.945.7030 for more info.
