Is Cork and Thorn Still Open? Bar Rescue Update (Las Vegas, NV)

Cork and Thorn in Las Vegas, Nevada, was featured on Bar Rescue (Paramount Network) in the Season 8 episode "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," which aired June 6, 2021. The lounge operates at 70 W. Imperial Avenue, in a commercial strip near the western edge of the Las Vegas Strip. Specific details of the problems addressed and the changes Jon Taffer made during the visit were not available in the sourced material reviewed for this entry. What is documented is the business's status well after the episode aired.

Cork and Thorn's own website, corkandthorn.com, returned a normal response when checked on September 8, 2026, under the title "Cork and Thorn - Must-Visit Lounge in Las Vegas, NV," and includes an online reservation system along with promotional sections for hosting private parties and groups. The site also featured a promotion inviting guests to watch professional tennis's U.S. Open at the lounge, a recurring late-summer event tie-in rather than a dated announcement. A Google Places record for the 70 W. Imperial Avenue address separately lists the business as operational.

No independent news article, dated review, or social-media post was reviewed to corroborate the website's currency beyond its own content, so this entry is sourced to that single record rather than to two independent outlets. No indication of a name change, relocation, or change of ownership was found in the material reviewed since the bar's Bar Rescue appearance. Imperial Avenue sits in a light-industrial and commercial pocket west of the Strip, and Cork and Thorn's working reservation system and seasonal event promotions, live on its own site as checked in September 2026, read as an actively booked lounge rather than a page left running after the business stopped taking guests. The featured name, Cork and Thorn, matches the name still in use on the business's own website and in the Google Places record checked for this entry; no source reviewed indicates the lounge has changed names, moved to a different Imperial Avenue suite, or changed ownership since its 2021 Bar Rescue appearance.
