Exciting New Entertainment Complex Coming to West Temple: Commonwealth Texas

TEMPLE, Texas — It’s no secret that West Temple is booming in population and economic growth. Alongside that growth comes the announcement of a new entertainment complex that is set to become a hub for the community to gather and unwind.

Commonwealth Texas, owned by Jerrod Wittman, will be a 10,000 square-foot establishment located on the corner of West Adams Avenue and Morgan’s Point Road. The complex will feature a restaurant and bourbon bar, a space for live music, pickleball, cornhole, and multiple areas for events or gatherings.

Wittman emphasized the importance of community in the establishment’s name, stating, “Community is everything, it’s in our name. Commonwealth is just another word for community.”

The chef at Commonwealth has hinted at an exciting menu, with a special focus on a smash burger that he described as “elevated Texas cuisine kissed by the south.”

Construction on the three-acre plot began in February 2023, with a target opening date of March 1, 2024. Wittman expressed hope for a sooner opening, with plans for soft opening events to train the staff. The establishment is expected to employ 120 people.

Wittman highlighted the unique experience Commonwealth Texas aims to offer, stating, “There’s nothing like what we’re trying to provide this community in Central Texas. A lot of times, you’ll have to go to Waco or Austin to have the experience that we want to offer over here at Commonwealth.”

While Commonwealth does offer a membership with additional perks like access to a speakeasy with facial recognition, it is not required to enjoy the various amenities the establishment will provide. Wittman encouraged regular visitors to consider becoming members for added benefits.

With its diverse offerings and focus on community, Commonwealth Texas is poised to become a vibrant spot in the Temple area, catering to a wide range of interests and providing a unique social experience for residents and visitors alike.
