Tucked behind Commonwealth, the Laundry Room is a charming speakeasy where vintage cocktails and cozy, retro vibes offer an escape from the Vegas chaos.
"The chandelier-adorned downtown spot Commonwealth already oozes cool, but hidden inside is something even more stylish than the bar’s main room. The Laundry Room is the Commonwealth’s take on a speakeasy — one with artful cocktails unique to the hidden room. The tiny, elegant space can only be accessed by texting 702-701-1466 and requesting a reservation and directions." - Janna Karel
"See if you can get inside the secret speakeasy inside Commonweath, dubbed the Laundry Room. The intimate 22-seat room is marked with a laundry pin on the outside. Customers can find premium whiskies and rums as well as an entire menu of cocktails not found on the Commonwealth menu. The room is decorated with images of Hollywood sirens such as Marlene Dietrich and Rita Hayworth as well doors on the ceiling. Text the phone number or look for the red light outside, indicating there’s space. Make sure to ask for a bowl of popcorn." - Janna Karel
"The Doberman is a new venture from Ryan Doherty, the founder of Corner Bar Management. It's a private social room tailored for 'the sharp and curious,' opening in the Las Vegas Arts District. The venue resolves capacity issues experienced at the Laundry Room, offering members access even on sold-out nights. The 3,400-square-foot bar features heavy woods, new booths, semi-private seating, an atrium garden, and a lounge with live performances. It boasts a cocktail program with over 100 spirits and mixologist interactions akin to those in the Laundry Room. Membership is decided by a committee with various tiers, providing access to member-only nights and curated experiences. Members can always get a table without a reservation." - Janna Karel
"The Laundry Room is the bar equivalent of those Russian nesting dolls your aunt always brought back from her trips (that were never to Russia). It’s a reservation-by-text-only speakeasy located inside another bar called Commonwealth in the Fremont East District. Their menu consists of drinks that all have a minimum of five interesting ingredients, though the bartenders are more than happy to take on a challenge so try and come up with a request to stump them. This is the perfect spot to start the night with a few friends when you want to feel a little in-the-know." - milena difiore
"The Laundry Room’s lead barman, Anthony Partridge, created the Oaxacan Mole cocktail, an off-menu item made especially for the holiday. This drink is made with mezcal, bourbon, dark crème de cacao, Amaro, and a dash of habanero bitters." - Susan Stapleton
