Bringing Downtown Together
The Commons on Grand is a food hall on Grand Boulevard in downtown New Port Richey, Florida. We sit right along the waterfront near Orange Lake and Sims Park, and the building has been part of this neighborhood for a long time. When we opened our doors, the idea was simple: bring a few great local businesses together under one roof so people had a real reason to spend time downtown.
Today, three locally owned businesses call The Commons home. Cotee River Creamery scoops hand crafted ice cream made in small batches. Infusion Brewing Co. brews craft beers on site, from hoppy IPAs to smooth wheat ales. And Backdraughts Pizza has been turning out fresh dough and family recipes for over six years. Each one runs its own operation, but they all share the same building and the same goal of giving people in Pasco County and the greater Tampa Bay area a place worth coming back to.
We are family friendly and pet friendly, so bring the whole crew. There is plenty of parking, and on a nice day you can see the water from the building. Folks stop by for lunch, grab a beer after work, or bring the kids for ice cream on the weekend. We are right in the middle of everything downtown, so it is easy to pair a visit with a walk through Sims Park or a look around the shops on Main Street. This is a gathering spot for the community, and that is exactly what we set out to build.

Cotee River Creamery
Cotee River Creamery is built on a simple, nostalgic idea: paying tribute to the original American ice cream parlor. Everything here starts with quality ingredients and small batch recipes. The flavors rotate with the seasons, and there is always something new to try alongside the classics. Toppings are made fresh, and the whole experience is designed to feel like the kind of ice cream shop you remember from when you were a kid. Families, date nights, after dinner treats, or a random Tuesday afternoon stop all work here. It is ice cream the way it should be, served in the heart of downtown New Port Richey.

Infusion Brewing Co. is a microbrewery started by James Bishop and Andy Kernaghan right here in downtown New Port Richey. They brew everything on site in small batches, so what you are drinking is as fresh as it gets. The lineup covers a solid range of styles, from hoppy IPAs and smooth pale ales to wheat beers and seasonal specials. The focus has always been on making good beer that you actually want to sit and drink with friends. If you are into craft beer or just curious about what local brewing looks like in Pasco County, this is the spot.

Backdraughts Pizza
Backdraughts Pizza has been a downtown New Port Richey favorite for over six years, and the regulars keep coming back because the food is always fresh and the atmosphere feels like home. The dough is made from scratch every day, and the menu covers everything from classic pies to specialty pizzas with toppings you will not find at chain restaurants. This is the kind of place where the staff knows your name and your kids can run around without anyone minding. The Backdraughts family just keeps growing, and they could not be more grateful for every person who walks through the door.
