Century Grand

"Century Grand is a Disneyland for cocktail-lovers. The building houses three cocktail bars, each with its own immersive environment. Platform 18 replicates the Presidential Pullman train car, complete with the rumbling background noise of the tracks, and a snowy Colorado landscape whizzing by the windows. Here, the cocktails are based on gin and other clear spirits. Tiny Grey Hen RX, which is inspired by a New Orleans apothecary shop, specializes in whiskeys. It’s also a good place to get boozy classics such as the Sazerac or Vieux Carré. Meanwhile, moody UnderTow, which recalls a spice trader’s turn-of-the-century clipper ship, exudes a tiki vibe and concentrates on rum-based cocktails. Reservations for a 90-minute experience are required." - Nikki Buchanan, Chris Malloy

"Mixologist/partners Jason Asher and Rich Furnari of Barter & Shake have put three brilliant bars under one roof at the destination, award-winning bar Century Grand. Platform 18, a reservations-only bar tucked inside a posh replication of a Presidential Pullman train car (complete with train whistles, the clacking sounds of the train on the tracks, and snowy scenery flashing past the windows), offers elegant riffs on classic cocktails from the 30s and 40s. Tiny Grey Hen captures the vibe of an old New Orleans apothecary, offering a New Orleans-influenced cocktail menu that includes classics such as the Sazerac and Vieux Carre. Dark, atmospheric UnderTow (which requires reservations) simulates a turn-of-the-century clipper ship with its low ceilings, wooden rum barrels, and tiki totems. The cocktail menu honors famous tiki drinks from historic bars such as Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic’s." - Nikki Buchanan, Jamie Killin
