Grey Hen Rx at Century Grand

There are three or four bars within the same building, each with its own unique theme, like sitting in a bar in a 1920s steam train or a bar in 1920s New York Chinatown—I absolutely loved the concept! Each bar has a distinct menu, and the drinks change from time to time. If there’s a specific bar you want to visit, I highly recommend making a reservation. We walked in and ended up at the Grey Hen, which was a great experience — first come first serve seating. The bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable, easily explained what you could expect from each drink— shout out to Justice and Jonah, once you see the menu you’ll know what I mean 😅. The cocktails are truly one of a kind, so unique. The immersive atmosphere, with train sounds, horns, and hanging lanterns just added to the experience. And I loved the newspaper style menu—make sure you read it fully so you don’t miss any of the cocktails.

Very cool place. The only thing is the server adjustment that they put on the bill for 4% which is completely asinine. You charge $19 for a drink, and you have the audacity to charge me 4% extra for a server adjustment. How’s this, the server adjustment is your tip.

Great place to grab drinks and cocktails in a very unique and fun setting. Very creative menu presentation and creative cocktails and drinks, including non-alcoholic ones. Highly recommend and l look forward to returning.

Came here with a group of 7 on a Friday night and had a great time! The hostesses were so nice - I had to move my reservation time and group size around several times and they were accommodating every time! The bartender was very knowledgeable and mixed great drinks. He explained the name of this place - back during prohibition, the only businesses that were allowed to legally provide alcohol were pharmacies. And they distributed alcohol in these containers called grey hens. We all got a variety of drinks and they were all unique and interesting! Can't go wrong!

Super cute Apothecary themed bar! Booked a reservation for 2 at 9pm on a Wednesday night and had a blast. When you RSVP online, it’s $20 per person, and covers their 1 drink minimum. 👌 We ordered two of the quick fixes & prescriptions, The Saville Row & The North Star, both super unique flavors. We sampled the strawberry fernet but I wasn’t really vibing with it. The bartender, Aspen, walked us through the menu and my date ordered a local beer and I ended up ordering two drinks. For my two main drinks I had the Oaxacan Old Fashioned and the Estrella, Estrella. I am more of a tequila and Mezcal person than whiskey or gin so I am happy with my choices. We went on a weekday and since it wasn’t too busy we had a super fun time. Pro tip: Great for date night 🥂

This spot features amazing craft cocktails. We enjoyed a wonderful Tom and Jerry, a traditional Christmas-time warm eggnog and cognac drink. Jonah, our knowledgeable and entertaining Bartender, made happy hour a truly festive time together. The wood bar is stocked with an impressive selection of quality spirits. But the discovery of new and revisiting old favorites made this bar experience very special.

We absolutely love this place. Been there twice and had the same amazing server both times. Peter was so knowledgeable about all the drinks and super friendly. He even remembered us and it had been 4 weeks since our last visit. The drinks are awesome and yes it is a true cocktail lounge and no food. We always make reservations for dinner after. They are pretty strict about the 90 minute policy. Century grand has three bars and this is one of them.

Great vibe. This one is apothecary themed with thunderstorm noises and there are 3 speakeasies in one building here. Great spot. Call in advance to make sure they have availability for you. This one and the train car one platform 18 is great.

I've had the Grey Hen on my list for over a year, I finally got to go Saturday night and it was like the stars aligned for my friend and I. There's no reservations at Grey Hen as it's very small so it's first come first served. My friend and I got lucky with a 2 person table right in front. We felt like VIPs getting an exclusive table. The menu is a legit newspaper with lots of things to read. The server was wonderful and even checked with the front receptionist to see if there was room for 2 in the other experiences. That's how we were able to get into Undertow but I'll do a separate review on that one lol. I'm hoping to come back here for their burlesque show in a few months although I can't imagine how it looks in this small, exciting space.

We are very familiar with the Century Grand bars, and really love all of them - - Undertow, Platform 18, and Grey Hen RX. Grey Hen is now the pop-up M. E. Lee's, a Chinatown canal Street themed bar. The Big alligator hanging over the bar when it was New Orleans themed is gone and replaced by a Chinese dragon and beautiful Chinese parasols. It shares a wall with the "Angry Duckling" so look for the chickens hanging in the window. Don't forget to get a coin from the bartender to use in the phone booth! It is tiny with a few seats at the bar, a couple seats at the window looking out, and maybe six small tables? There's not a lot of room but when we went, which was relatively early at 5:30, we walked right in. Even though reservations are a must for the other two bars here, they are not available for this bar. These bartenders are true artists. The menu is a newspaper, with descriptions of the drinks being advertisements throughout the paper. If you need help choosing, just tell the bartender what flavor profile you prefer and they will suggest something. We had the Slutty Tiki and the Special Excursion. Both were fantastic! If you're coming to Platform 18 or Undertow, come a little early or plan to stay a little later to have a drink here.

Walked in on a random Saturday night and we were pleasantly surprised of what a gem this small bar is! There's limited seating but the menu is worth it. The bartenders were engaging but also not bugging you to talk to them all the time. The drinks were soooo yummy! Would recommend!

Tried this place for the first time with my boyfriend for date night--EXCELLENT DATE NIGHT choice BTW. Ambiance is perfect. No reservations required. Excellent customer service and drink recommendations. Super appreciative and impressed by our waitresses recommendations. This location does not have food but does have a jerky, nuts, and pickled cucumber snack (we did not try). The beverages are very complex, balanced, delicious experiences in themselves. My boyfriend and I did not have a single average cocktail. I highly recommend the chop suey, Tom kha, and chef recommends cocktails. The Wonton Soup looks to be an interesting experience that my boyfriend and I did not order but will dabble next time we are back.

I actually kind of stumbled into this bar and didn't really plan to go here. We planned to go to platform 18 but ended up stopping by here as well as it was right outside. The bartender was really nice and patient with us. The menu was super cool as it was a newspaper with different drinks as the headlines. I loved how this area was set up and appreciated the different atmosphere after going to platform 18. Will be back! Super cute concept

Absolutely in love with this place. It's a pretty place in normal times, but most recently, I went to their M. E. Lee's rendition of a vintage Chinatown, and it's so classy and beautiful. All the touches are perfect. Friendly service, and although they do not take reservations, there was no wait and plenty of room available on a Saturday afternoon. That wonton soup cocktail is so creative - it's served in a soup bowl and has a truffle on the side in the soup spoon. Definitely recommend!

Date: Sunday, July 2nd, 2023 Time: around 4pm Party of: 2 *Chart The Course ($12) *100 Years, 100 More ($64) *Staff Benefit: 4% ($3.04) I was over at Platform 18 with the hubby. Since we were at Century Grand, I figured why not check out another bar. Grey Hen wasn't very busy, so we grabbed two seats at the bar. I decided to be extra and get the 100 years, 100 more. It contains balvenie 21yr port barrel and balvenie 14yr caribbean rum cask. Such a pretty cocktail. They present it in a cage and then smoke it with a torch. The hubs got the chart the course which is a non alcoholic cocktail since he needed to drive afterwards and we were just at the other bar. The bartender was great. Nice and friendly. Waited for me to get my camera going so I could film the cocktail. Very sweet. I'm more of a sit at the bar and chill kind of girl, so this was definitely my vibe. I like it not too loud so I can have a conversation. Fun bar with great cocktails! REVIEW #3462

Grey Hen is now the new M.e. Lee's but still amazing menu. They're walk in only and many people come here to get a drink while waiting for platform or undertow. I think it's great completely on it's own. The decor is so cute, looks like out of Chinatown, very red, even has a bbq duck display. The menu is so adorable and looks like a newspaper. There's so much to read and some hilarious ads. The servers are kind, hilarious, and make amazing drinks. Every drink we got was delicious and unique. We had to get the one in the Chinese take our box of course. I suggest sitting at the bar itself and talking with the servers. They let one of the costumers hit the gigantic gong as well. It was also someone's birthday that night and they pulled a trumpet from behind the bar and started playing Rudolph the red nose reindeer. It was an amazing time and I'd def take anyone who's visiting Phoenix there.

I've been here a total of 3 times and each time I like this place better. I came here on a Friday night and was lucky to get a place at the bar. The bartender was great and had awesome recommendations. I'm obsessed with the new theme, NYC china town, with a focus or play on Asian dishes. I tried 3 of the gin drinks, the bell paper made me nervous because a prior experience but honestly it blew me away. He had the wonton soup twice which was served in a soup bowl with a lemongrass truffle pairing in the soup spoon. It was very aesthetically pleasing and delicious. We're usually not chocolate people but this little truffle definitely hit the mark. The shrimp walnut dish I believe was also a super cute presentation and came with I believe a little candied walnut side. Overall, this was such an amazing experience. I love the theme and already can't wait to come back!

I fell in love, but my brother fell harder. Firstly, it is one bar in a group of three in the century grand building. They didn't offer reservations so we just made sure to get there early. Not a ton of seating (2 tables and 6 bar seats) but they really did a great job capturing the china town theme. Their menu is a non traditional layout which I think is super unique and cool, but it does take a few extra seconds to read to make sure you're not missing any options

The atmosphere was quaint and surreal, the hosts were helpful, the drinks were amazing, and to tie it all together the bartender, Justice, was incredible! I had a great experience and I can't wait to go back again!

Beware, your moneys spends itself here! I'm a sucker for over-priced cocktails and these tasted the part. I had Friday night reservations with a few friends here and we spent a small gemstone's worth at Grey Hen. The drinks themselves are beautifully curated and taste wonderful. If there is something on the menu that's not for you, the bartender can whip up any of the classics. I absolutely loved how the place was designed to mimick the New Orleans prohibition era and it took 30 min before I even noticed the alligator in the ceiling! I wish I could rate this 5 stars but the service knocked a few off. Our bartender was not the best host despite our financial investment in this establishment. We stayed our full reservation time and ordered numerous drinks, sometimes we were given "another round" that we didn't order which was added to our tab. Another instance, my friend got an adorable tea cup drink (the milk punch) and the bartender asked if he was "insecure in his masculinity" to drink out of the tea cup. It wasn't said as a joke either. Completely uncalled for and inappropriate.

We have been to both Platform 18 & Undertow at Century Grand and finally decided to check out Grey Hen RX. We were seated on the front patio, but ended up moving inside because we wanted a more intimate experience. The space is very small, and I honestly would have enjoyed the lounge more if we were seated at the bar. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the mystique of the bar. Our waiter's name was Justice I believe, and he was very pleasant. I would say he answered all of our questions confidently and we appreciate that! Now let's get to the drinks! I thoroughly enjoyed my "Raid the Cargo" cocktail. I picked up on the bergamot notes right away, and the mezcal/bourbon blend went down smoothly. I also loved my fiance's Kentucky tea themed drink. My last cocktail was the Creole Lady. Sadly, I feel like it was an afterthought. The lounge was closing early for another event, so I think this cocktail was rushed. The drink was watered down, and the presentation was absent. Initially, I was able to taste the hazelnut finish. After 5mins, the drink was completely clear, the ice melted, & the flavor was gone. I just feel like an old fashioned is supposed to get better as it ages, but this one didn't hit the mark. We enjoyed our cocktails, but I would probably book Platform 18 or Undertow for a more well-rounded experience.

Love love love!!! I can't say enough how much I love coming here! My boyfriend and I came in to celebrate four years together as the Grey Hen Rx is my favorite bar in AZ and right off the bat, the amazing folks at Century Grand set us up for what was one of the most magical nights of my life! We were promptly greeted upon stepping inside where they verified our IDs and got us checked in. I had noted in our reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary so the staff was quick in congratulating us and making us feel welcomed! We had arrived a few minutes early and as it was a slightly less busy time for the Grey Hen Cassie sat us almost immediately in a beautiful window seat on the patio. Our server Bre stopped by once we were seated with water and some fantastic drink recommendations, I got the Mandrake (which is my go-to "off menu" drink) and my boyfriend had The Mapmaker's Folly - both delicious and unique but our favorite drink of the evening HAD to be the Coconut Whiskey Highball! Decadent and smooth, this unprecedented cocktail had us hooked and I'm not a whiskey drinker! Definitely give it a try if you like toasted coconut! The atmosphere is next level, they really make it feel like you're sitting out on a dark, romantic patio on a quiet New Orleans night and with the sounds of Platform 18's steam whistle and train it was all the more immersive! We were so impressed by the level of care and attention to detail the team at Century Grand puts in everything they do. We were even lucky enough to get to meet Al and Rachel the extremely kind and talented GM and AGM behind the scenes of this wonderland of the senses. I can't thank them enough for their impeccable hospitality and care. The cherry on top of this magical evening came at the end of the night when my boyfriend proposed. Grey Hen Rx, you'll forever be in our hearts and have absolutely cemented your place at the top of our list. We can't say thank you enough.

Speakeasy cocktail bar with an incredible bourbon and whisky selection. Dimly lit setting but very inviting. Our mixologist was great and extremely knowledgeable in their craft. I enjoyed the clarified milk punch. Looking forward to visiting again.

5 stars all around! We had a delightful time at Grey Hen. Jonah, our "pharmacist," was great at recommending and describing all of the drinks. The cocktails were delicious. We were able to walk in on a Friday night without a reservation and had a minimal wait time for 2. Ambiance is a 1920s prohibition NOLA vibe.

Always always always a wonderful experience at century grand. Grey hen emphasizes whiskey and similar liquors that are my favorite. All the drinks are strong and delicious and well worth the month. Bar tenders are friendly and when it's not too busy it's nice to chat with them as well.Very fitting ambiance surrounded by clear cases of liquor, and it is very befitting to is theme as an apothecary. Will continue to come back again and again! Reservations are always a good idea.

Accidentally came across this place after my reservation at Platform 18 since they were in the same building. It's like a little fake street front and cool "Asian restaurant" vibe. The bartender was ver nice and patient and gave some great recommendations. The Century Grand was so cool since we were able to try all 3 places (including the tiki bar!).

This is one of our favorite cocktail places in the valley. It is one of the three bars located within Century Grand. The concept of this place is a New Orleans courtyard vibe, a bit dark, a bit mysterious, with servers dressed up like pharmacists (hence the Rx in the name). For someone who has been to a few bars in New Orleans, I'd say this place does a good job transferring customers to the other side of the country. I loved sitting in the courtyard and people watch those who were waiting to get into Platform 18 (the other bar with the concept of being inside a train). The servers were very friendly and knowledgeable with recommendations. They have a huge selection of whisky and whisky-based cocktails. Some of their drinks can be strong in terms of spirit forward with a bitter finish. We love it, but I also see that others might not like it. I am not sure if they offer any food, so it might be a good idea to get food elsewhere before coming here. The good news is that this place is near many food and drink places. One of the unique cocktails that I tried here is a clarified milk punch. They served it in a teacup with a side of the homemade biscuits. It was the best milk punch cocktail that I have ever had! I heard they are doing a Chinese-themed menu right now, and I cannot wait to try it out. I do not think this place makes reservations, so it might be a first come, first serve situation. There is a parking lot outside of the building, but since all three bars share one space, it could fill up quickly. So carpool would be good if you have a large party.

These bars have the best cocktails made in house and from scratch it is such a fun atmosphere and place to go! You do need a reservation and the time slot is about 90mins. Each bar has a theme and the menu changes a few times a year!

Party of 3. Found this wonderful place from a IG real. Went while on our trip. The services was exceptional and the 2 bartenders were both super helpful and friendly and had great drink recommendations. The drinks we chose were Paper Plane and the Clarified Milk Punch. Both really really really good. All 3 of us were happy and we definitely go back. The ambience is Perfect with a setting of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride from Disneyland.

A fun experience - creative cocktails in a 19th century apothecary setting. The 90 minute visit went very quickly. Freddy helped us navigate the cocktail menu and provided some interesting insights. The room is comfortable - we enjoyed sitting at the bar and watching Freddy create many different cocktails. We will return!

What a cool bar! I'm sure all of them are at Century Grand, though this is the first one I've visited. The lighting and scenery are done perfectly to give the place a feel like you are stepping into another world. The drink menu is a little overwhelming! It took me a few minutes to look it over. I chose a drink that was citrusy and well balanced. The drinks are quite strong, so for my next cocktail, I tried one of the mocktails. If you reserve in advance, you need to pay a $20 deposit that goes towards the price of your drinks.

I've visited Grey Hen with their old menu and their current menu, and they impressed me both times. They have interesting options available, ranging from the nonalcoholic to the very boozy and from sweet to spicy and everything in between. The gorgeous presentation of drinks matches the great taste. If you've been to other Century Grand concepts, I would categorize this one as the least immersive experience. Still, it's a gorgeous little space with a classic, old-fashioned feel. They have unique whiskey options outside of mixed drinks. Sitting at the bar is my favorite way to experience this place. As with its sister bars, I recommend making a reservation and asking staff for recommendations.

It's cute little tiny place. Drinks were all right. Reminded me more of like sitting outside of Paris than New Orleans. Cute atmosphere inside only barstools couple tables outside of it but it's not actually outside like I said it's kind of like the streets of Paris but indoors.

Great spot to enjoy a specialty cocktail! The interior design was amazing and went exactly with the theme! So many things to look at inside and the ambiance is dark and intimate. Perfect for a date! Will be back again to try the other concepts inside! The cocktails are more on the pricey end but it is the experience you are paying for.

Do yourself a favor & book one of the other venues at Century Grand. The themes are cute, decor is very well done. But a patio seat at Grey Hen is essentially in the waiting room The ambiance here is not where it's at. No music, just crickets & the sound of waiters calling out the next party to be seated. Drinks were craft & done well, but a little too adventurous in flavor if you ask me. Our party didn't really care for the flavor combinations.

This team was fantastic. Jonah and Brie were knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We originally had a spot inside the bar area near the window but Jonah was able to move us outside after another party was loud and intrusive. Once they left, we were able to move to the bar. We got both experiences and will be back. The drinks were fresh and well made. Not too strong or too weak. We will be back.

Came with for a night out and I must say this place is incredible. The drinks are really unique and amazing. The experience is definitely unique and the whole scenery of the place is unique as well. The service was amazing. It is recommended to reserve ahead.

I absolutely LOVE the Grey Hen Rx, and I've only been here once. Last weekend we booked a reservation and ventured out to the Century Grand to take in this Prohibition-era speakeasy experience and it was just a truly enjoyable time. Upon entering the Century Grand you are first greeted by friendly hosts who will take your name and direct you to the somewhat misty and dark waiting area reminiscent of a hidden, back alley street café in some far off locale. A host will call your name and take you to a seat at the fantastically appointed bar that just transports you back in time. Again, dark and intimate, the small cozy space just takes you away from the outside world for 90 minutes, offering a delectable variety of specialty in-house and classic cocktails that are sure to make you want to eventually sample them all. Hundreds of bottles of spirits line the back bar and side cabinets; it is an almost dizzying array of whiskys, scotch, bourbons - you name it, it's probably there. The hosts at the bar are amazingly friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. You can tell they enjoy what they do, are exceptionally good at it and are happy to have you there. The drinks we tried were all outstanding. As you settle in, let your eyes wander about the space and have fun discovering numerous things: the skulls scattered randomly around behind the bar, some in jars, on shelves. You're imagining yourself in a speakeasy that apparently had been secret apothecary at one time. Oh, and the huge alligator suspended from the ceiling. There's that. A prop, to be sure, but it all just adds to the fun and ambiance. When you visit the website, be sure to peruse it for a bit. There are three themed spaces to visit in Century Grand and they all seem to share some links to each other in terms of backstory. Just another fun aspect of visiting. So to end this somewhat rambling review, Grey Hen Rx is more than worth a visit if you are looking for an experience that will take you away for a little while. I'm a huge fan Grey Hen and, now, Platform 18 which we had the occasion to visit yesterday. The Grey Hen is not to be missed. Do yourself a favor, book a reservation and go.

I love the cocktails at grey hen ! Best service and bar in Phoenix. The place has such a cool ambience and friendly bartenders that know what they're doing. I couldn't recommend grey hen more. My favorite server is Brie, who's genuinely the kindest person I've met, gives the best cocktail recommendations and overall a lovely person.

Ok wow. Who would think a coconut whiskey highball would be amazing or memorable .... but it was! Clarified milk punch - tears of joy. Justice is an incredible bartender. Every recommendation was dead on and we will be back to visit again!

Excellent cocktails. But it is pricey. They have excellent private selections and very very rare bourbons and whiskeys. Bring your fattest wallet!! you will need it! Great atmosphere and vibe. Mint Julep is to DIE for. The Nawlins feel is great.

This place is spectacular, been here a few times for special occasions, the inside bar seating is fantastic, being able to watch the bartender make creations is a blast, the staff here are all very nice and they know their stuff guiding you to what you like.

Very cool set up feels like you're in a New Orleans bar from years past.. cocktails were delicious and the service was delightful. Make sure to make reservations in advance.

My friend brought me here to show off the Phoenix area's drinking scene and I was amazed all the way through. The staff were all very attentive and answered our every question regarding the drinks. They even accommodated our request to have a drink from one of the other bars (there are 3 total bars in the complex under the same management). Each drink we had was a unique experience and honestly it was not as expensive as I thought it would be. My favorite drinks from the night were the Clarified Milk Punch (never had it before but I crave it again, it felt like alcoholic milk but without the heavi-/creaminess) and one drink which tasted like apples (but isn't made with apples??). My friend just described the latter drink to the waitress (it wasn't on the menu anymore) and she was happy to accommodate our request.

I was super exited about this unique experience but this part of the bars is lame, you sit in a fake outdoor seating that makes you feel you're on a cheesy pirates of the Caribbean ride. While you are trying to have a conversation and super small table they are yelling other peoples names. Highly disappointed in the drinks as well. The other two bars might have a better experience but the train one is tiny and just as underwhelming. The undertow looked ok.... Wouldn't recommend. If it's two people sit at the bar for sure.. party of four go somewhere else.

Great customer service, vibe, and drinks. Definitely stop by and try one or two of their concepts here. This place shares the building with Platform 18, another cocktail bar that I will be back to try.

This venue, of the 3 bars at Century Grand, probably is the least "visual" considering the great themes at these bars. I'd been to Undertow at the old location and was so impressed with the concept, the execution and the drinks themselves. Because of this, I was anxious to check out another spot. We tried for Platform 18 but it was booked. I can see why! There is nothing wrong with this spot. It's intimate. I was kind of glad we sat "outside the inside" on the little patio, which was less cramped than the indoors appeared to be when full. The drinks are imaginitive and creative and superbly well crafted. You also get the "show" of the train pulling into the station. I wish we had bars like this where I live.

Such a cool drink experience! They really set up the Grey Hen Rx to transport you to New Orleans. It feels like you're in a little speakeasy which is so fun. They have so many drinks to choose from and some really fancy bottles of alcohol you can also order pours of. Make sure to get a reservation or you could be waiting for awhile. It is pretty dark inside, which I assume to curate the mood however it can be a little difficult to read the menu so look it over before you come in!

Excellent Immersive bar experience my husband does not drink alcohol and he really enjoyed the crafted mock tails. The bartender Freddie definitely what the star of the show the night we visited. We are going to try the other themes soon. The vibe here is swanky yet chill, where everyone feels welcomed.

My first time into Grey Hen since its renovation. The space is cozy (well, if you think sitting below an 18ft alligator is cozy- I do!) and the walls filled with bottles. Since my friend is celebrating dry January we started with Dr. Cottley's Experimental "American Whiskey" which looked like a real cocktail and tasted lovely. It's harder than it should be to find no and low-abv drinks that don't taste like a juice box, but the Grey Hen menu has multiple options. My second drink was even better: a low-abv twist on a martinez that the talented bartender made with vermouth, sherry, campari. Honestly the best drink I've had out in a long time. My gf's no-alcohol shrub drink may have turned me on to these vinegar creations. I usually avoid shrubs bc they taste so astringent, but not here- perfectly balanced. Our server was super personable, really helpful in describing the menu and creating beautiful and tasty cocktails based on what we were looking for. Already looking forward to the next visit.

We came here for Valentine's Day. Al was our server, Freddy was our bartender. The drinks were incredible. We had several of the drinks, but the In Bristol Fashion was amazing. The atmosphere is very intimate, with cool apothecary vibes inside the bar. The service is quick, and they were attentive to when we needed anything. We've been to Platform 18, now Grey Hen Rx. Looking forward to Undertow!

I love the experiences that Century Grand creates, and this small area designed to feel like a Prohibition-era New Orleans "apothecary" really does feel like you're in another place. The decor is tops, but the cocktails really shine. They have a large menu of many things most people probably have not heard of, and they are all made with care and precision to create a delicious cocktail that will taste wonderful (and sneak up on you a bit, too!). The service is prompt and friendly, and they are happy to offer you a recommendation or help you choose between one or another. The bar also hosts events, like monthly burlesque, which is a lot of fun. All in all, another fabulous Century Grand experience!

Drinks at the Grey Hen are a delight. We had a table outside the bar which made for prime people watching. Seeing so many happy faces amplified our own feeling: this is a magical place.The drinks are well crafted and varied. If you think this is just a bourbon bar, you're missing out. We started with a gin and cucumber drink and enjoyed a mix of old and new.They have an incredible bourbon menu and a number of drinks have bourbon in them, giving you variety in finding your prescription to cure boredom and avoid the ordinary bars up and down the street. Service was remarkable. Thoughtful, speedy, and happy. Love this place.

Well, I will make this real simple, I have never had a drink or smoked a day in my life but this bar is absolutely one of the best establishments I have EVER been to. My brother and sister were visiting us here in Phoenix and my brother actually scoped out this establishment because he loves scotch, whiskey, and bourbon. There is a $20.00 per person fee to reserve a 90-minute time slot and you actually get that money back towards your overall bill. I really thought I wouldn't care for this place at all and it turned out to be an AWESOME experience. Alex was a gracious host, Freddie was an AWESOME bartender, and I learned quite a bit about various spirits that evening. They even had 3 non-alcoholic drinks on the menu and I tried 2 of them. They were absolutely delicious. Platform 18 and Undertow are definitely in my future plans and I advise all that read this review to do the same. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, my Friends!!!

One of my personal favorite spots to grab a drink in the area! Their menu is full of amazing cocktails in addition to mock tails which is perfect for sober friends. This particular spot is small so not ideal for groups, perfect for date night though. If it's your first time, I recommend trying the Clarified milk punch. It's smooth, lightly sweet, and so nice to sip on (plus it comes in a tea cup SO CUTE) You can really tell they took their time to really craft the best cocktails and make them look instagrammable too. The service is always quick and they always make sure to make recommendations based on what we like!

The ambience here is so cool. It is set up like an outdoor cafe at night. Smooth jazz played in the background with calming outdoor noises. This place really hits all the senses. The sounds of the peaceful outdoors with jazz with the smell of smoked wood for cocktails is a great combination for the senses. Our server was so knowledgeable and took us through the entire menu. They have a large whiskey selection which I loved. I had the milk tea cocktail which was perfectly balanced. Not too sweet, not too bitter. The presentation was gorgeous as well, brought in a vintage tea cup. I can't wait to come here again and sit at the bar. I would recommend a reservation here. We were able to get seated right away, but it soon became busy. I can see why! This place is a treat!

My wife and I decided to wait until the week after Valentine's day to treat ourselves to a night out to dinner and cocktails. After a not-so-great dinner at a separate location (not even worth mentioning) it was high time for a cocktail. And with my dinner experience leaving much to be desired in the way of a pleasant evening out, I admit I was not in a great mood and not enjoying the evening at all. The Grey Hen completely turned my night around. Atmosphere: Firstly, we were sat directly at the beautiful and hand crafted bar. Those of you who are seated inside, do yourselves a favor a look directly up at the large taxidermy Nile River crocodile. I absolutely love themed bars and this experience made me feel as if I was sitting in an old fashioned New Orleans speakeasy or a Bayou apothecary. There are plenty of items to look at with their own stories and names that have been come up with by the staff. My entire 90 minute experience was spent pouring over every detail in between conversation with our bartender, my wife, and sipping delicious drinks. Staff: I feel awful for not recalling our bartenders name but he was very kind and informative. He made excellent conversation and answered every question we posed; From the history of the bar, to the prep work for the drinks, to personal questions regarding his 19 years of experience in craft-cocktail bartending. We could not have asked for a better representative for our first experience at Grey Hen. Liquor Selection: I am a bourbon fan myself and Grey Hen has an excellent selection of bourbons. Whether its Old Forester, Blantons, Stagg Jr, Colonel Taylor, or several other staples out of the roster of tasty and hard to find bourbons, Grey Hen is fully stocked. Even though their catalog tends to be Bourbon and whiskey forward, they have a great selection of Cognacs, Brandys, Tequilas, Mezcals, and other spirits. Finally... The drinks: Plainly stated, do yourselves another favor and order the Clarified Milk Punch (pictured) before anything else. Its taste and presentation is unmatched and you would never ever know by the flavor, you are drinking Old Forester 1920. After your first, you will want another. Secondly, ask how the drink is prepared and you will be amazed by the mile long list of prep work that goes into this cocktail. Furthermore, the drink is contained inside gorgeous china teacups and paired with a delicious apricot jam and shortbread cookie that is also made in-house. My final drink of the night was the Remy Martin No.18 (pictured). Like its namesake would indicate, the Remy Martin cognac drink is a delightful and complex. The taste of the cognac, paired with the smell of the rosemary garnish changes over the life of the drink as the pleasant smelling smoke slowly dissipates as you drink the cocktail. This drink probably has the most showmanship of any on the menu and is highly recommended. Conclusion: Like all 3 bars the building, there is a deposit to be made while setting up reservations. However, this goes towards the price if all your drinks. I would personally ask to sit at the bar or wait however long it takes for a spot to open up to be seated there. In my personal opinion the full experience really can not be obtained without bar seating. The service is top notch and 90 minutes is more than enough time to order plenty of drinks whether you down the delicious cocktail quickly or sit, sip, and savor. The Grey Hen RX was just the prescription I needed and turned a bad evening into a fantastic one. My wife and I plan on returning very soon.
