The Corner Store, Eugene Remm's buzzy SoHo hangout, is taking its caviar-topped lobster rolls and martini swagger out west, with a second location slated for the Las Vegas Strip in 2026. The new outpost will sit inside a yet-to-be-named luxury casino resort on the Strip and is expected to be roughly twice the size of the New York original, which currently seats about 75 guests. Despite the bigger footprint, Remm says the culinary game plan will stick closely to the Manhattan formula, with a made-from-scratch focus across the menu.
As reported by Observer, Remm and partners including Tilman Fertitta and Catch Hospitality Group have inked a deal to bring The Corner Store to the Strip in 2026. The plan, according to Remm, is to bring "exactly what we do at The Corner Store to Las Vegas" and keep things consistent so that "culinary-wise, nothing's different." The biggest change will be scale, with the Vegas dining room roughly doubling the capacity of the SoHo space.
Menu And The Martini Program
The Corner Store's calling-card menu of elevated comfort food, from mini lobster rolls to a wagyu French dip and the viral five-cheese pizza rolls, is set to travel intact. Cocktails will continue to be a main event. Forbes has spotlighted the restaurant's inventive martinis, including a tomato martini and a dill-heavy sour-cream-and-onion version, along with the tableside martini service that helped turn the SoHo original into one of New York's hardest-to-snag reservations.
The Vegas location is expected to lean into that same playbook, with the Strip's pace and late-night energy shaping how the service rolls out. According to reporting from Observer, the Nevada dining room will also feature a second bar positioned as a specialty martini bar, giving cocktail fans even more reason to linger.
Remm's Vegas Track Record
Remm is no rookie when it comes to the Strip. He already operates Catch at Aria and brings years of Las Vegas experience into this new project, which should help in translating a compact SoHo concept into a casino-hotel environment. Eater Vegas covered Catch's star-studded Aria debut back in 2018, highlighting it as one of the group's marquee Las Vegas addresses. That track record, combined with the group's broader partnerships, is part of what is paving the way for a more intimate restaurant like The Corner Store to land on one of the most high-profile stretches of real estate in the country.
What To Expect And Timeline
Remm told Observer that he has no plans to turn The Corner Store into a nationwide chain and that Las Vegas is a one-off exception to the otherwise New York-centric concept. Observer reports that the Vegas outpost will include a dedicated specialty martini bar within the dining room and that operators are eyeing a 2026 opening inside a luxury resort on the Strip.
For now, the exact resort and opening date remain under wraps. Until those details drop, both Las Vegas regulars and curious New Yorkers will have to keep an eye out for an official announcement from Catch Hospitality about where, and when, The Corner Store will start serving its martinis and mini lobster rolls in the desert.
