Commonwealth Bar and Lounge 1 MGM Way, Springfield, MA 01105

"Went here on Saturday on a whim. Great vibe, met some cool people. Place was hopping so the bar was extremely busy. Had a bit of a wait to order my drink but the bartenders were doing their best. Drinks a little too on the higher side, but that’s to be expected in a casino. They do last call at 1 I think, as that’s when the lights went on and they were shooing everyone out. A little disappointed in that but overall a great experience here. I’ll definitely be back soon."

"They don't sell food, but there are other places to get food in MGM. Great bands, great energy, and great service. perfect for a night out or a break from gambling."

"This is within the MGM casino. There was no one at the entry checking ID’s or enforcing a dress code. This place has potential to be of upscale quality but didn’t resemble that once inside seeing some of the crazy looking people who were in there. There were a couple of guys that looked like they rolled out of to bed to come here wearing white “wife beater” tank tops and a girl they were with was so drunk she was falling on the floor and picking fights with other people in the bar area. No security came over to assess the situation so that all the other people who were trying to enjoy themselves, could continue to do so. I came here once before while I was visiting MGM and the standards of Commonwealth seemed to be better when it first opened. The bartender (male gentlemen) was great though! Nice personality and very friendly. Upgrade the dress code standards to match the ambiance of the rest of the establishment. The cucumber cooler cocktail was very delicious. The ambiance inside looks nice."

"I was pleasantly surprised how nicely the atmosphere was, cozy, comfy, casual with a touch of class. I went to see Jesus Pagan Y su Orquesta, they were awesome and had people moving and dancing. I would give five stars, however MGM needs to have better service for wait staff. Only one Drink Server, who wasn't very quick and our group of four couldn't order from the bar they told us. So MGM get better wait staff or have at least two, you lost money with the amount of drinks our group could of had. Especially for event's that have groups of people coming to drink and enjoy a live show."
