Getting to the roof top is more challenging than it should be. They let people cut because they know the DJ, yet they hold the line for everyone else. Was a fan of this place but that changed read more

This place is very hip. Extended happy hour, live music, dj's, a rooftop dance floor...& great people. Not to mention a very exclusive secret speakeasy for those in the know...with exclusive mixologists and signature cocktails! read more

Nothing exceptional about this place. Its a two story bar...WHOOPTIDO. The drinks tasted like they were watered down and were grossly over-priced. I get it, its a bar in a place that probably receives a bunch of tourists, but still, if you're going to call it a bar, act like a bar and not a night club! Give me drinks without the water! read more

I am really disappointed in my recent experience at Commonwealth. It was my first time going to Commonwealth with my best friend; I'm used to having great customer service when I go out and this treatment was not the best. We were guests from Life is Beautiful attending the pop-up bar event and we were invited by the hosts of the event. We were advised that it was an open bar with our wristbands and when we got to the bar, I asked the bartender which drinks were included in the open bar. He looked at my wristband and then said rudely , "There is no open bar". So we proceeded to look for the hosts at the event to get it resolved however, the bartender started whispering and talking to the other bartender looking in our direction. It made us feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. We eventually asked the outside doorman/security about the bands and he kindly explained that our bands were accurate for the event, but that we just needed an additional band for the open bar. The way he explained the situation was much more professional and less accusatory in tone. While the situation may not have been the bartender's fault, the way it was handled could've been much better rather than treating us like we were subpar, or unwelcome. There are way too many down-to-earth bars downtown, to have to accept rude service like that. It's no wonder to me now that the bar isn't crowded. My recommendation would be to train bar staff to have better customer service when it comes to dealing with negative situations and not to judge their guests by who we may appear on the outside. read more

OMG!!! the management, Paul, can't remember a local to save his corporate ass. Wears a North Face light weight jacket for Halloween - can you you say "checked out"???!You'll get more love from the ubiquitous Hakkassan Group. Only the DJs bring any joy to this lack luster affair. Fremont Talk:a decent venue - despite its lack of leadership. Doesn't hold a candle to Jewel on Monday, Omnia on Tuesday, 1Oak on... read more

HIPSTER CENTRAL!! Well, I guess the entire length of that street is.. but it was cool. Came in on a packed Friday night and quickly went to get myself a beer. I liked the interior of the bar with all of the interesting art and tap handles but it took me no less than 10 minutes to make my way up to the roof! Just as packed upstairs as it was inside, I was warmly greeted by not only the space heaters but some sweet indie jams and mashups. Also greeted by way too many people wearing sunglasses at 1130pm but I didn't get the memo so I remained 'shade-less' for the night. Beers were a bit pricey but I made sure to hit some of the craft beers on tap while I listened on with my group of friends. About an hour in, someone hit the trap music button in the DJ booth and it was bass bumpin' electronic noises for the rest of the night. It was kind of cool to look over the edge of the building and see people in line waiting to get in jammin' out to the music from above, right where I was standing. I could also see the length of the rest of hipster Fremont and I had a blast people watching all night. Not too shabby for a newcomer in downtown LV. If the beers/drinks were a little bit cheaper, you would definitely find me here more often. Until next time Commonwealth! read more

Danny was awesome!!! The drinks was on point!!! Definitely can't wait to come back ! Whenever ur in Vegas come check out this place out !!

Love this bar. Great vibe, music and amazing craft cocktails. Fun place to bring friends or people here from out of town and we love seeing Kat, she always takes care of us and makes sure we have a drink in hand. read more

The rooftop at Commonwealth is one of my favorite places to hang out as a local. The superior service never ceases exceed my standards. I was there with a group of friends on a Saturday night with a VIP table and our server, Devon, took care of all our needs and then some. She was attentive, kind, and service was quick and we can't wait to come back read more

Stopped in for a drink to celebrate my husband's birthday. Swank place, stunning really. They specialize in cocktails but offer a nice beer selection too. Pissing Boy was new to us and a real winner. Service was prompt and friendly. Drinks are pricey, but this is not your usual bar. The patio was closed for a private event. We will have to see that another time. A real nice addition to downtown. read more

So I think I fell in LOVE with this place. The Decor is amazing, the crowd young and sophisticated and the mood was great here. The vibe of this place is more like a lounge that a bar and I can really appreciate that. This is a great place to go with a group of friends who like to keep it classy but also like to get there drink on. I will definitely be back here in the future. read more

Rude people and did not like the bar. Great beer selection but the bartenders were all about themselves. And the place was slow when I went so no reason to be ignored. I wamt to drink and drink fast and this is not the spot to do it at read more

Commonwealth has a nice decor, but their ability to work with groups that negotiated up front to bring 200-300 people to their bar was abysmal. Lots of bars closing down on Freemont Street and sending people with money to other bars is a great way to be next. We hit up many bars on Freemont Street for our event, and this one is the only one on our list that gave us issues. Also, only come here if you want super annoying hip hop that doesn't fit the decor at all. read more

I've never used the "appalling" to describe an experience at a bar, but that is the only word that's appropriate. I would equate my experience here to a revolving door, with a handshake at entrance, a slap in the face in the middle, and a kick in the pants on the way out. We showed up a little after 1am, the doorman spent some time telling us about the concept then recommended we go upstairs where the DJ is. We used the restroom, went upstairs, and grabbed a bar menu. They have a "salad bar" menu, where all of the drinks use 9 fresh ingredients, so it takes a minute to read through. I ordered our drinks and was told they had already given last call, but she would make them anyways. While she was muddling or drinks, the music stopped, lights went on, and the bouncers started pushing people towards the stairs. A bouncer told us we needed to move out, and I told him our drinks were STILL BEING MADE. When I asked the bartender what time they close, she said 1:30. I asked what time it was, she said 1:28. So I followed up with what time did they do last call, she says 1:20. WTF? My friend asked about our drinks, she said we could take them with us. No sh*t. But since you can't go into any other bars with an outside drink, she protested a little and requested we be able to drink them there, to which the bartender responded that the downstairs was still open, and a bouncer returned. "Hey ladies, the bar is closed and you need to move on. How was your evening?" @@#%$$^%$$$#&&%!!!!!!!!! My friend said that we had been working our way down Freemont, and explained our experience thus far. The bouncer was made a comment to the effect of, "so you ladies have been drinking a while," was apologetic that we had to leave the patio, and offered to walk with us down the stairs to the bottom floor where we could finish our drinks. When we hit the landing on the stairs, we could see that the lights were on and the house was empty, just like upstairs, and he "walked with us" right out the front door. This was obviously a concerted effort by all employees to make the sale regardless of customer satisfaction or experience. I've worked in clubs, so I know that when we hit the front door, the doorman knew that the bar was closing down. The bartender was happy to sell us drinks at $10 each because she knew we would have to go regardless. And the bouncers used classic bouncing techniques to keep moving us towards the door. read more

Great drinks at a great price, awesome atmosphere and the DJ knows what's up. Kat the bartender is the best. Knows her drinks and is an awesome person. Def a place you want to check out when your in town visiting!! read more

This is a cool bar to hangout at. It's non-smoking (in Vegas... Really??!!!) with an upstairs open air bar. We stayed upstairs where the dj was playing. It is a very open space - a small corner with lounge chairs, a few benches along the wall, and that's it. There are no seats at the bar - it's a very chill atomsphere. This is a bar where you go to catch up with friends and have a no-drama night. read more

We're locals having a night out. Went To Commonwealth on a Wednesday night to enjoy a pint of Stiegl on tap. My husband was the designated driver for the even and because we DONT DRINK AND DRIVE he ordered a glass of soda. $6...SIX DOLLARS...for a glass of soda. AND the bartender (who hates his job apparently) tried to serve it in a cocktail glass, not a pint or soda glass. Come on Commonwealth...I'm ok with paying $11 for my beer BUT $6 for a soda??? That's ridiculous!!!!!!!!!! read more

The 2nd floor on a Tuesday doesnt allow your glass drinks from the bottom floor so be prepared to pour into a plastic cup. I didn't enjoy the second set of stair case being closed off by the entrance as well as the corner couches being closed off on the roof top. There was a nice photo op for DJ cricket's fashion line I think it was very poppy and unique. Any who my experience with this already quiet plastered guy was when he spilled his beer all down my back coat which dampened my mood. I had to tell the bartender to get a towel before someone slips. I was curious why the bartender was still serving this guy knowing that he couldnt even hold his drink. The music was great which lightened up my mood and I was surely debating on getting 86 by sucker punching the hell out of that douche bag but decided to be smrt and hoped he got a DUI. 3 Jamesons on the rocks and an Irish mule was about $35. The $5 cocktails we had were a playhouse something, play with me something a lady in style which were all delicious. read more

See all

I LOVE this place!!! I came here on a Saturday night around 10pm a week and a half ago and I really have to write a review because I keep thinking about how amazingly fun it was. Downstairs is a cool area where you can lounge on some nice chairs and talk to friends. Upstairs they have an outside balcony with lightly spraying mist. Theres a dance floor and the DJ was playing 90's R&B/Hip Hop music which was SOOOO much fun to dance to!!!! What really made the night was the DJ and his mix. LOVE LOVE LOVE! read more

It's a tad bit pricey but the environment is amazing. This is definitely a downtown jewel. These guys have it good, downstairs is serious and maybe quiet but upstairs is where the party is at. They have a good selection of drinks and brews. A little weak on pouring but the environment makes up for it. read more

Overpriced and mediocre staff. They charge cover at the door and then additional if you want to go upstairs. Bait and switch. A draft beer and a cocktail were $20. This isn't a strip club. And the cocktail was average. read more

Commonwealth is a great spot downtown! It has a good vibe, great drinks and I LVE the decor inside...Not to mention their employees have it together with their customer service. I very much enjoyed their bar staff turning me onto a great drink that I can't remember the name of, and the petite female security upstairs was super nice and went out of her way to help us out a couple of times. Great service CommonWealth. I will certainly be coming back here! read more

This was an awesome bar in the middle of what I'd consider the jenkier part of the Las Vegas experience. The bar has some cool drink offerings and plays good dance music. If you want a really unique experience see if you can get into their speakeasy style bar... read more

When we went the music was whack! I guess you have to come here on a good night. The atmosphere, however is so chill, doesn't feel like vegas at all. They don't have bottle service but have a beverage minimum which is real cooh. I think they need to screen their djs more. They need better ones. Otherwise, the crowd is real coo and most of the locals go here. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. My friend and I went there and were denied entry because they thought our real IDs were fake. They said the only way we could prove them wrong was if we got a police officer. We waited almost 2 hours. The bouncers had no sympathy, wouldn't let us use our passports as proof and was insistent that our IDs were fake. When the cop came, they even tried to prove him wrong. I understand that the bouncers were doing there jobs but they confiscated our property, which is not allowed. The two bouncers working yesterday should be fired and I will never be coming back here. read more

Great beer selection for a "club." Cover charge was $5 for guys and free for girls, not too bad. We didn't really wait in line to get in. Casual dress code. The balcony was great. Honestly it was fun, but clubs to me are, in a way, all the same. What set this one out was that they had Dogfish Head 90 IPA on tap. read more

They're friendly and all, but a little too hipstery for my taste. Long line to get in, and the other surrounding bars don't charge a cover and aren't as strict about dress code. My big issue is that I like to drink really random cocktails, and they weren't equipped to make most of my choices (this was in the upstairs bar). They couldn't make a redbull hennesey (no cognac), also not equipped to make a red death (no sloe gin), no blue curacao, and no midori, so they took my top 5 choices off the table. They did finally make a pretty good coctail for me with what they did have, but I'd rather not spend $13 per drink if I'm not on the strip. read more

Good beer list, good vibe, and I really like the rooftop patio.

I went to CommonWealth for the first time last Friday night and I was amazed at how friendly and helpful one particular security guard was. His name is Jerry and he was very easy to talk to and knowledgeable about the property. He told us about the "Laundry Room" which sounded very exciting and interesting unfortunately we could not get in but, we look forward to booking it another night thanks to Jerry. read more

What a fresh new bar to compliment the downtown Fremont Street Experience! Reminded me of a California vibe and maybe because the weather was so nice. Unique and modern downstairs and an awsome outdoor second floor patio which has a bar, dance floor, seating and a live dj. The place was full as it was a Saturday night and the music was amazing. They were throwing out give aways into the crowd which was fun and got the crowd excited. So yes I was rather pleased BUT here is my warning. If you go upstairs and hang out up there and you and have to go to the bathroom beware! The bathrooms are located on the first floor. Due to some firecode which I totally respect (for our safety) they cannot just let people up and you are forced to wait in a line to get back up to the patio. After being stuck and separated from my friends and drinkless I think I waited 15 minutes to rejoin my party. Big fat bummer. I feel bad for the guy because it seems everyone gets pissed at being in that situation. You just assume you leave to use the restroom and return to your party ...not the case. From that point on we decided to wait till we were ready to go to avoid the frutstration. Thats my only complaint...an important one....but all in all thanks for the experience. I cant wait to go back.....and I will use the restroom before I head to the top. hehe read more

Cinco de Mayo prices and specials were good, our group danced and partied on your rooftop from 8 until 10:30. Overall good time security did a great job. read more

This place has a chill atmosphere with pretty decent prices. It's like an upscale dive bar that attracts a young healthy crowd of recent college grads. The prices are average about 8 to 10 dollars for craft alcohol. The lightening dim, the venues clean, and there's not too much to complain about. Sometimes the service can be slow, but that's okay. It's given me time to sober up between beers. read more

I ended up here by accident last night. Myself and some friends went to the opening of a new billiard concept on Fremont Street, which I will review later. Anyway, it was very loud, so after a few games of pool, a friend said they wanted to go check out Commonwealth, which they said had just opened recently, so we headed over there. First, as soon as you walk in the door, you realize that someone put a lot more effort into the interior than your standard, Fremont Street establishment, which usually resembles something that college kids threw together on a tight budget. Not here though. A sleek, sophisticated interior, with a very cool Lower-Manhattan feel. This could have been anywhere in Chelsea, or the new East Village, which has become so hip as of late. Very cool, very classy, and surprisingly refreshing for that East Fremont stretch that is trying so desperately to reinvent itself. The best part though, was when we discovered that there was a staircase that led to a rooftop patio bar. We headed up there. There were some comfortable couch seating over by the railing, and that's where we spent our evening, relaxing with good conversation, good cocktails, and a really pretty view of the classic, iconic Las Vegas signage that has been reconditioned and now adorns Fremont as the Neon Museum. The music, while it was your typical techno-dance crap, was at a volume low enough for you to carry on a conversation, which we all appreciated. The staff was professional and attentive as well. All in all, this was an extremely cool and new destination when you want to just chill with friends, and not do the whole over-the-top club thing, and has the potential of being a 5-star destination, but I took off one star for the following reasons; -New techno didn't quite fit the vibe. I just felt like dance remixes of more classic stuff would have worked better. (70's disco, cheesy 80's stuff, etc...) -It was a cool night. Not cold, just cool, and there weren't any patio heaters yet. So we had jackets on. It was fine at 60 degrees, but this will probably become a bigger issue as it gets colder. What would be spectacular, and really cozy up the patio, would be those open-flame natural gas fire-pits, instead of radiant heat or metal propane heaters. Real fire in stone pits. Like Ferraros (on paradise) or Double Helix (at Town Square) have on their patio, for instance. That would be paradise on that rooftop area. read more

This is a great new bar downtown. The drinks are great and love the decor. Can't wait until it's warm enough outside to sit out on the roof deck. read more

Downtown has definitely changed since I moved here ten years ago! If you haven't been lately, you need to go, and don't miss Commomwealth! Beautiful place with a great rooftop patio. My friends and I really enjoyed it. read more

We came here on a Thursday night around 8pm so it was busy but no where near packed. My boyfriend was definitely under dressed, we weren't exactly sure how to dress since it was our first time there and we hardly ever go into downtown. The bartender was nice and answered all our questions, she got our drinks promptly and didn't hover but still was attentive. We were only here for about 30 minutes because we had reservations for The Laundry Room (that review is coming) We would definitely come back, the drinks were reasonable I was expecting worse due to the other reviews. We spent $28 on 4 shots of tequila each shot a different kind of tequila. My only complaint was that they didn't have Don Julio behind the bar. I'm pretty sure we were the youngest people in the bar and considering I'm 24 it was nice not to have the freshly 21 yr olds yelling and acting like idiots, we never made it to the roof or patio so we will be returning when I'm not in uncomfortable heels. read more

Commonwealth - The best clothespin you can ever own!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I gave this place a four with the potential to become a five over time. We went on Friday to check this place out. We had several drinks. We wanted to try some of the hot ones like the Benevolent Nod from Morgan Freeman, but they're still working things out with the espresso machine and hot drinks were not being offered according to our server. Speaking of which, the staff was very friendly, helpful, and approachable. Here are the drinks we had. They run from $8-12: Lowlife coach: red velvet vodka, tuaca, grenadine & pineapple It tasted like a pineapple upside down cake and was quite tasty. Mexican cousin: negro modelo, agave, jalepeno tequila, lime This was a major fail. It tasted like heartburn and then had a forever after taste. They next day I could still taste it and whenever I drink sparkling water with a jalepeño cream cheese taquito I will forever be reminded of this drink. Son of man: pear vodka, apple liqueur, lemon-like simple syrup, lime-soaked apple slice This was tasty like a sweet tart. The drink menu is extensive including punch bowls which serve around 8 people. No food menu but rumor is they have a speakeasy you can only access with a text to a special number and reservations. The roof top area is pretty neat. We were there around 7 and things were starting to pick up around 9 or so. Hopefully, once they get rolling this will be a solid 5 of a place. read more

Downtown Las Vegas. Trendy or trashy and usually smoky either way. Commonwealth is a new bar that reminds me a bit oft the East Coast with its pull away from Las Vegas glitz and downtown nostalgia. The group I was with were happy with their various drink selections that contained unique ingredients, distinct names and extensive choices. It is a unique bar downtown in that it has an upstairs bar and terrace and allows the downstairs to have cleaner air since there is a smoking alternative. read more

I had high hopes for this spot. The location is good (love DT!), the decor is quirky, which I like, but the drink prices are a bit much for downtown. The place reminds me of a typical hipster LA bar... I'm not a fan of LA bars or the hipster crowd. There are other places I'd rather hit up while DT where the prices are reasonable & w/ less douchey patrons. Maybe it'll change, or maybe it won't. I can't see myself visiting again or if I do, I'll just have a water. Wish I loved this place. :/ read more

Great new bar added to the bustling Freemont St. Great atmosphere, and the rooftop patio just tops it off. Even on a Wednesday night they seem to have a DJ and fun going on upstairs! Fun place with fun people! read more
