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.

Corner Bar founder Ryan Doherty, famously possessed of a peripatetic design sensibility, 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 Every piece of furniture on the main floor has been replaced by reupholstered vintage finds, including banquettes swaddled in striking oxblood-red leather.

A new DJ booth helps anchor the energy of the room. Overhead, new Tiffany-style pendant lamps cast a warm jewel-toned glow. Bathrooms sport new wallpaper, lighting and doors.

Rooftop remake: Up on the roof, all the furniture has also been replaced, with tufted sofas and low-slung wooden tables arranged on patchwork Persian rugs. The face of the bar is now mantled in custom emerald-green tile from London, each piece molded with foliate medallions and lion masks. The back bar is now crowned by a 107-year-old stained-glass installation salvaged from a Philadelphia church.

The DJ booth has also been refurbished, and “Birds of a Feather,” a new Thursday rooftop residency, brings headliners, house and techno-driven sounds and pyrotechnic effects to the alfresco space overlooking Fremont Street.

Speakeasy style:

Back downstairs, The Laundry Room speakeasy has been transformed, from furniture and lighting fixtures to photographs and antiques lining the walls. Some of the highlights: a grand crystal chandelier, Tiffany-style pendant lamps, a Victorian floor lamp, 200 pieces of original art and antique framing densely populating the walls, Louis XVI-style chairs covered in floral tapestry, nailhead-trimmed leather bar stools and crimson velvet drapes pooling at one end of the space.

Davey Francis has joined The Laundry Room as head mixologist, with a new cocktail menu — “Fear and Laundry” — that chronicles a reporter’s descent through Vegas in three chapters, with associated cocktails for each chapter.

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

The Barbershop Cuts & Cocktails at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is a standout, guests enter through a working barbershop, and inside a discreet door reveals a 1920s-inspired lounge with live music. The Vault at Bellagio is a hidden, exclusive lounge located near the Baccarat Bar and high-limit area, and guests can make reservations to secure access. Downtown, The Laundry Room at Commonwealth is one of the most well-known speakeasies, it requires a reservation in advance via text and a password for entry, which adds to its secretive, immersive experience.

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.
