"Try to slip inside the Laundry Room, the secret speakeasy hidden within Commonwealth. Marked only by a lone clothespin near the entrance, this intimate 22-seat bar is a shrine to classic glamour and inventive cocktails. Inside, you’ll find premium whiskies, rare rums, and a menu of bespoke drinks unavailable in the main bar. The moody room is adorned with vintage photos of Hollywood icons like Marlene Dietrich and Rita Hayworth — and a ceiling lined with antique doors. The Laundry Room made its name with the creative, precise cocktails crafted by bartending legend Juyoung Kang during its early days. To score a seat, check Commonwealth’s website for a cryptic reservation clue — or look for the red light outside, signaling limited walk-in availability. Pro tip: Ask for a bowl of popcorn." - Janna Karel
