The Laundry Room has been doing the secret-bar concept since long before every casino decided it needed a door hidden behind a bookshelf, operating out of what was literally the El Cortez hotel’s laundry room in a building that predates Commonwealth’s 2012 opening.

Corner Bar founder Ryan Doherty has sourced, salvaged or hunted down each element for the redesign.The face of the main bar is now clad in dark wood panels inset with laser-cut brass screens bearing elaborate floral and foliate patterns. Every piece of furniture on the main floor has been replaced by reupholstered vintage finds, including banquettes swaddled in striking oxblood-red leather.

Commonwealth, a longtime anchor of the Fremont East entertainment district in downtown Las Vegas, a bar and nightlife venue known for its gritty glamour, rooftop lounge and tucked-away speakeasy called The Laundry Room, recently unveiled a top-to-bottom redesign, according to an announcement by owner Corner Bar Management.

Can you share some speakeasy spots and how to get in?

There’s a reason reservations are required at this Victorian apothecary-like den: the tiny, candlelit speakeasy only seats 22 people at a time. The bar is nested inside another bar, and when you step through the hidden door, you’ll feel like you’ve escaped into another century. The cocktail menu reads like a masterclass in 1920s cocktail culture, and is divided into sections like Rattletraps, Collin’s White-Walled Jalopy, Taking a Louie, and Mouse Motors.

Perfect for those seeking an intimate bar experience..

Shhh. It’s our secret.
