text: I ended up here by accident last nightnMyself 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 therenFirst 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 budgetnNot here though A sleek sophisticated interior with a very cool LowerManhattan 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 nThe 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 is 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 nThe music while it was your typical technodance 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 wellnAll in all this was an extremely cool and new destination when you want to just chill with friends and not do the whole overthetop club thing and has the potential of being a star destination but I took off one star for the following reasonsnNew techno did not quite fit the vibe I just felt like dance remixes of more classic stuff would have worked better s disco cheesy s stuff etcnIt was a cool night Not cold just cool and there were not any patio heaters yet So we had jackets on It was fine at 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 openflame natural gas firepits 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
