In September 2024, Eugene Remm and Tilman Fertitta’s Catch Hospitality Group (behind Catch locations in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Aspen, Miami and more) debuted The Corner Store restaurant in New York’s former Dos Caminos space in SoHo.
A nostalgic take on a classic American joint, the cozy spot featuring a green onyx bar and playful twists on traditional dishes built a cult following and became a favorite of high-profile fans like Taylor Swift. Then, in January, the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas announced the beloved brand would be opening its second location in its former Blue Ribbon space.
During a preview weekend that attracted guests such as Pete Davidson, Ludacris, the Chainsmokers and Keegan-Michael Key, The Corner Store unveiled its still-intimate but grander Las Vegas sibling — which will open to the public on Monday, Nov. 9. Rockwell Group designed the upscale 180-seat space, which recreates the warmth of a New York City neighborhood corner store with velvet cushions, antique mirrors, brass accents and vintage lighting. Guests enter through a storefront with wood-framed doors into a vestibule, a bar area and main dining rooms, with herringbone wood floors and walls dotted with New York City photography.
“It’s meant to be a throwback restaurant to something that’s existed for 30 or 40 years, a neighborhood restaurant, so we did a lot of thinking about restaurants like that, their DNA and how we could replicate it and give it a new twist,” says Rockwell Group partner Shawn Sullivan. “Corner Store is almost like Raoul’s, which is a classic restaurant downtown, or Polo Bar uptown, brought downtown. And a lot of that is in the intimacy of the spaces, the way the artwork feels collective … and that perfect moody New York restaurant lighting.”…
