William Street Common, the indoor beer garden at 3900 Chestnut St. in University City, has closed after three years.

Avram Hornik and Four Corners Management, who tried to make a statement at its opening with a flat-rate tipping policy, said he wanted to focus on the other aspects of his empire.

FCM runs a slew of entertainment-oriented destinations, including Morgan's Pier, Concourse Dance Club, and the forthcoming Harper's Garden on 18th Street, Edwin Social on Spring Garden Street, a Mexican cantina at 23rd and Walnut Streets, and Craft Hall, an ambitious project set up at the former Yards brewery on Delaware Avenue.
