Commonwealth

Cute club on the not crazy side of Fremont! No cover, which was nice! It wasn't crowded when we entered or exited. We didn't hang out too much in the outer club, because we had reservations in the speakeasy. It's worth trying to find! Pretty typical house music. Good service at the bar. Good level of security to feel safe without being invasive. It seemed chill enough for my slightly older crowd and cool enough to take our 30yo daughter without being mocked. Fun night out!

Commonwealth is an awesome venue on the corner of Fremont street and conveniently located beside a parking lot It's a huge venue with 2 stories so great for larger groups of peopleAnd did you know they often have burlesque shows here too???

No complaints here. Get there early to avoid long lines . I always like bars that have two DJs, so you can vibe to two different atmospheres but in the same place. upstairs is an outside patio area with bar. I like being upstairs since it's a smaller crowd and fresh air .

The few times I've been in, my visits had been very brief but this time I spent the whole night there and quite enjoyed the atmosphere. Let's start out with a minor, but seemingly unavoidable annoyance in this day and age.-The price of everything. It is $20 to get in, for everybody, men and women. I'm used to paying a cover charge while downtown but it's still never fun. I was funny though to see the look on my female friends' faces and the faces of the female tourists behind us when they were asked to pay for entry too lol. The drinks were also typical for downtown Las Vegas if not a bit inflated. $79 for 5 drinks and that includes two beers, a bit ridiculous, especially on top of the $20/person cover charge. Again, an annoyance but something you'll have to deal with pretty much wherever you go down there.Honestly, that was it though. The rest of the night was great. The bartenders, line staff, DJs, and bouncers were all very nice which was almost shocking. The music was good, the drinks were tasty, and the women there were gorgeous, though it didn't seem like many people were dancing, which again, was a bit odd to me. Either way, this last visit to Commonwealth definitely changed my view of it.

Came in tonight 4/28 because a local friend recommended for the music. The first security guard we encountered was very nice and right before he was going to let us in, another bouncer with shoulder length hair and ear tunnels came out the door and declared that my REAL California ID was a fake because he "couldn't see my ears in my picture" which, huh? When I stated that it was real and that in the 4 almost 5 years I've had my current ID I've never been told it looks fake, or have had any other issues including when using it to travel internationally. To which he replied "No, I know it's a fake" and I asked if the had scanners and he said "No, we are certified ID checkers, I do this everyday". So me being the determined person who loves to prove people wrong, especially when I KNOW they are wrong. I went looking for a police officer to scan my ID. When I found the cops they immediately said it looked real but they would scan it for verification. When it came up clear and REAL the cops drove over to let the bouncers know. So pretty much they are letting people in and not based on how they feel. I only stayed to prove a point as my friends said because the bouncer was so rude and adamant about my "deception"that we should leave. While we were there they played good music and the DJ and bar tenders were nice but the one guy at the front definitely needs an ego check. Also I'm attaching a picture that I took this same night, where you STILL can't see my ears, sorry my ears don't stick out to the side but have a VALID way of checking before you call somebody a liar, lucky he didn't try to throw it away or destroy.

Can I give more than 5 stars????I was looking for a nice place to celebrate a birthday with my wife and some friends. This is hard to do, and surprisingly so! We live in the Entertainment Capital of the US. So finding a nice place , not to clubby, or overrun with singles looking to "Hook Up" where adults can relax,dance and enjoy the evening is more than challenging. Not going to a bunch of places like this it's hard to tell from websites and reviews. For some reason when. I reached out to Zokie, he answered my concerns and made me feel pretty confident that this spot would work out! He was super accommodating and advised us as to the main floor vs rooftop for the comfort level we were searching for! So we made the table reservations and set our sights on the Birthday event! When we arrived they had already sat some of our friends without questioning, which is great as this was a surprise situation. When we arrived i was introduced to Rebecca,who was our server! To say she took care of us is a gross understatement,she excelled at meeting our needs! She took care of my group of 12 with ease and a smile! She never left me waiting for a drink, and at my request kept plenary of waters handy! We danced for hours, the DJ was perfect. He mixed several styles and genres together to it was constantly pumping but not "trans music " annoying. The bar is also large,very stylish and unique! The pictures do not portray the class of the place, as I mentioned earlier! For a fFriday PM they kept the crowd at an energetic but not crammed-overcrowded level! Pleased beyond words! I recommend whole heartedly that if you are looking for the right spot to celebrate, large event or small, you would be hard pressed do better than The Commonwealth!

I used to really enjoy coming to the Commonwealth but not anymore. We sat down and no one came around. We thought there were no servers but we saw a server bring the table their drinks a few tables away. We sat for longer and she never came back but we could see her dancing and laughing at the bar. I walked up to the bar and asked the bartender if there's no servers and she replied "no later in the night". We could clearly see two other tables being served. We are the only non-white patrons in here right now. 100% disrespectful.

They charge $20 cove charge for men only. It's pathetic for a serious business to operate like a frat party. Avoid this place at all costs. Nothing at the location to warrant a $20 cover charge. You can find plenty of other places worth your money

If multiple employees said they spoke about this with someone, it seems like it was definitely an issue with 'multiple show goers' as I only spoke about it with one person. Again, all I did was ask one question that warranted a simple response. I truly didn't believe that his customer service was up to par with business and management expectations since I have never had an experience like this before at your establishment. I understand that this is a third party event which is why I thought leaving a just to note comment for suggestions and concerns would be informative and appreciated for you, your third party affiliations, and future advertisements/events.

I've owned bars in Alabama for over a decade & came to this place 12/7/24 & must say I really enjoyed myself ! Beautiful place ! & I honestly love everything about it ! Hats off to the owner & I'm coming back tonight !
