    I'm a fan of this place for the poker bar aspect, as it's the only place to indulge at the Lake. The decor is a bit overzealous, staying true to the Speakeasy theme. It's on a lake, why not go with a beach theme....just sayin'. The menu, which changes frequently, features mostly bar food. The cheese sticks are good. I think they still have cocktails on the menu, but probably not the fancy ones like when it first opened. They have special drinks listed on a board at the bar, and my current fave is Chispa Rita in a can. Another is Lovelady Paleo Porter also in a can. The music has been mostly 70s & 80s lately, which I dig! The place has a nice vibe, but hasn't been that busy most of the times I've been here. Whiskey is the featured bevvie, at least judging by the whiskey displayed on the bar. The place is pretty big, with a bar and seating area on the 1st floor (there's also a piano). The 2nd floor has a bar and seating, and more restrooms. The patio is available for dining as well. As with most establishments at the Lake, business here is like the tides- up and down.

    Tucked away in "the village" at Lake Las Vegas is a beautifully decorated speakeasy bar. It's fantastic and is full of small alcoves and furnishings set up to allow small groups to mingle and talk. It has intriguing decor and while the music is present, it is at a volume that allows for conversation without yelling. The staff is friendly and welcoming and while attentive, they are discreet. If you are embroiled in a conversation, they will silently pass by and return a little later to check you. We tried a few cocktails and while they were all good, my favorite was the Old fashioned. Anyway, if you are in the area and fancy a few drinks, you can't go wrong here. They're awesome!

    Came here for a 50th birthday gathering, it did not disappoint. Perfect weather to sit outside on the patio upstairs. The NBA playoffs were on and there was a TV in the middle patio, there are 3, all have glass between them so you can watch also. The chacuterie board paired well with drinks and conversation. The patio areas are very big, and there is a full bar upstairs, hopefully you get Amanda she was great! Between the cigars and drinks and good company when we ordered none of us took pictures of our food but trust me order the STEAK and garlic fries! It's a lot of food, but very tasty. There is an elevator in the back corner, so upstairs is very ADA accessible.

    New speakeasy style bar located in beautiful Lake Las Vegas. You feel like you take a step back in time when you enter this 1920s style bar. The furniture is an eclectic mix of oversized chairs and couches. Look closely and you could find a secret passage through a bookcase. The waitstaff wears flapper inspired outfits. You can sit at the bar which does have gaming, sit in the lounge area, or try the cigar bar upstairs. The drink menu does rival some of the more upscale establishments in Las Vegas. I had the Bee's Knees and the French 75 which were both equally delicious. I can't wait to bring our friends for a night out!

    Nice quiet location, locals with chill vibe. Wait staff was too notch, attentive but not intrusive. Fun seating options, small couches, barrel chairs, lounge chairs, bar top seating, dining table and chairs. Patio out front and balcony seating next to the cigar lounge upstairs. I'll definitely be back to try dinner.

We got in on Saturday night and walked into Bruno Mars performing!!…read more The vibe was so energetic and unique, I definitely think the no phone policy is what made it feel so special. We had so much fun we went back on Sunday night just expecting good energy and live music. We coincidentally made friends in line and the bouncer asked if we wanted a table that would allow us to cut to the front of the line. Minimum was $500 and there were 5 of us so we said yes. To our surprise Bruno came out again!!! No one ever knows when or if he will be there and we were lucky enough to see him 2 nights in a row, and made friends along the way. It was truly a magical experience, Bruno was the cherry on top but even without him making a suprise performance, Pinky Ring is still such a unique vibe I think everyone who visits Vegas should experience. I have no photos to post, just as intended :) The security was very strict about no photos. We were so impressed how well they caught every person, shining lasers at their camera and spotlighting them then escorting them out. Don't be that person, they will catch you and kick you out and make you delete any photos or videos (even from recently deleted, I asked). Just enjoy the experience with the people around you. No one else has to see photos to believe you, and even if they did they would not fully understand the vibe and experience because they weren't there. If you made it to the end of this review, I hope you make an effort to visit Pinky Ring, you might get lucky!!

The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.
