Amazing experience. Felt like you were really somewhere else. They stick to the theme. When we went it was cold inside, just as the pictures of the train were showing it snowing outside. When they say that you get 90 minutes for 2 people they mean it. Also they will not accept late arrivals since they are on a schedule. Soooooo many cocktails to choose from, there are is no beer or food.

Im just going to tell you about all three locations here! Behind the walls of the Century Grand are three very amazing experiences ! Grey Hen; a New Orleans theme, Platform 18; a moving train car experience, Undertow; a tiki themed experience. All three of these locations have amazing cocktails, amazing settings and amazing people! Each location has a story within the pages of the menu, very cool and an interesting read! I suggest experiencing all three spots and making reservations ahead of time! No food, drinks only, so plan meals accordingly! For those who have yet to experience the new location of Undertow, you will not be disappointed!!!

The overall atmosphere is very nice and different. The service is another story. The drink menu is the main focus. You are not allowed to order any drink that is not on this menu. Nor, are you allowed to modify any drink on the menu.A 20% tip is automatically added and this gives the freedom of the server in which (our particular one kept saying shes just a server), to treat you like a cover, not a customer.All I wanted to do was remove lime juice from a drink that they made and they refused to do it. Later in the evening I stood up to get a vantage point from the bar because I may come back again in book a reservation at the bar. I was immediately confronted by the server who told me that I couldnt stand and I had to remain seated.After voicing both my complaints to the manager regarding the modification of the drink or making a case for when I may want to come back again and wanted to see what the vantage point was from the bar, I was told to sit down. I felt like I was being scolded. And she didnt care either.So, if you like being told what to do, how to do it and when to do it especially after paying these high prices, then this place is for you.Otherwise youre just another number to them with no customer service whatsoever.

It is pretty amazing. It looks and feels like I was in the bar car of a train. The bar tenders are amazing and the atmosphere was great but it was rather on the loud side. Overall, I had terrific time and Im looking forward to going back!

Best. Experience. Ever.If you’re thinking about doing this, just do it. You will not regret it. I recommend booking your reservation in advance. Everything you pay upfront goes towards your final tab. Saves your spot, it’s worth reserving. There’s limited seating so when you plan, you get the best seats in the place.Atmosphere is super intimate. The mixologists are incredibly hospitable, literally the best hospitality you will ever experience.Drinks…amazing. So much to choose from, so much versatility. If you have questions the mixologists have all the answers. They are super knowledgeable and recommend drinks on the spot based on your taste preferences.The scenery and atmosphere is like no other. I live in the East Valley and drove 40 minutes just to experience this. I would go back in a heart beat. If you’re looking for a wow factor experience, 10/10 recommend Platform 18.

It’s an experience and great for date nights. Drinks were good but filling.

Such a fun experience and the cocktails are made with so much detail! Theyre so good

Superb atmosphere! We had an awesome experience, the staff was fun and the drinks are delightful!

LOVE this place! Last night we traveled through snowy Colorado vistas via a lux dining & drinking train car... and we never left Phoenix. Great staff great drinks great environment well worth the trip my friends.

Amazing cocktails! Such a fun atmosphere and the bar tenders were so entertaining as they mixed each drink with flair.

Nice spot to grab drinks. No food only ice cream but that also has alcohol. The service was great and it was overall a nice experience.

Loved this place. Came here for my fathers day weekend and wasnt disappointed. My one gripe and reason for the 4 star is, we had a good 20 to 15 minutes left and the server came to clear some empty glasses in a bit of an aggressive manner, literally went under my chin as I was drinking to grab another glass. Needless to say we were kinda being rushed for whatever reason because we were finishing up and almost done already. We heard her tell other guests they had 5 minutes left, earlier in the day, but we were ready to leave well before the 5 minute mark, so the change of vibe was unnecessary and it only really cost her an additional tip she would have received, had she treated us like the paying customers we are. She could have given polite time warnings over her aggressive behavior.

Wow. This place was outstanding. Definitely a hidden gem you wouldnt expect. Drinks run $12-mid 20s which is a steal considering the effort and time put into them. Our bartender Jimmy was a soulful, down to earth guy with a mountain of knowledge and passion for his craft. Each drink we had was very well thought out and the presentation top-notch.

This place is such a unique bar! You have to set up a reservation before hand for your 90 minute experience. They have over 40 different drinks to choose from as well as some dessert ice creams what we had was incredible. The service was beyond amazing very well informed and so helpful which is nice with such a large drink menu and such short time. This is an amazing date night that will blow you away! There is just so much that cant be shown in pictures.

This place was super cool!! I would totally go back.For those thinking of coming, pay attention to their reservation and booking policies on their website and thoroughly read everything. On the weekends, this is (generally) not a place you can just walk into.The drinks are really good and the atmosphere is awesome.

First time here at P18 and wow, it did not disappoint. Reservations are a must. They are doing an excellent job at social distancing and maintaining 90min reservations for each group. P18 is a replica of a train car, with screens that display the Rocky Mountains, so it really feels like you are moving. The bartenders were amazing and so helpful. The drinks were phenomenal! Great place for a date or to impress out of towners (when its safe).

So much fun! The entire experience was amazing to share with friends. Drinks were very good and the atmosphere just made the whole thing.

This may be one of the most unique bars Ive ever been in. The drinks were amazing and very unique. The staff including our bartender Richard were very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. The ambiance was amazing and really gave you the feel that you were traveling through the Rocky mountains while on a train. The one and a half hour experience goes by very quickly. My only suggestion for improvement was to have some bar snacks that one could have for this ride as one would have in an upscale train bar while drinking some very potent drinks. I cannot wait to also try their other experiences.

This place has 3 different bars. And I must say its my favorite place to go in AZ right now. The experience is like no other. The detail that has gone in to this place is Phenomenal from top to bottom. Take the time to take it all in a find all the little treasures this place has.... Highly Recommended 👌

Love it, adore it, can’t wait to go back and get some more of it.Drinks are top notch, presentation superb.

Took my husband as a surpise to Undertow. We had an amazing time!

Such a unique place with amazing cocktails. Feels like you are on a train in the old days and fun to watch the bartenders mix the drinks. Pretty pricey but worth it for the experience. Cant wait to come back.

Talk about funThis place is such a creative and unique experience I recommend trying it at least once.Brought to you by the owners of the shipwrecked bar Undertow both of these venues are in the same building.Upon arrival you’ll think you’re lost but you’re not. Who knew fun was hidden in this building.Please note this venue is my registration only. They fill up quickly so I do not recommend a same day adventure unless it’s in the middle of the week.Food is not provided unless you count the booze sherbet.They secure your reservation with a deposit based on your headcount. The funds you pay apply towards your final bill and you pay the remaining amount.You’re teleported to a Downton Abbey like station where you wait to be boarded. Upon entry you’ll take in a few tables but most of the seating is at the bar.The staff are dressed to fit the time period and once everyone is aboard the fun beginsThere’s a slow jolt and the wheels begin to move (all simulated) now’s the time to look out the window as your journey begins.I don’t think the picture ever changes but it’s always winter on this ride and soon you’ll be taking in the view of snow covered trees and mountainsThe drink menu is a small novel leading you through whiskey adventures, boozy desserts and more. No need to attempt to get through the menu just ask your server and they will be your guide.Also make sure you try the boozy dessertWe are every single type of sherbet they had and loved them all

So much fun!! We did the train ride. Our server was not only knowledgeable but fun too! I will definitely return!

Learned about this place from somebody’s post on Tik Tok. This was one of the most amazing experiences in Arizona. Do you feel like you’re on a real train going through the Rockies while the bartenders are serving the most incredible drinks.

The drinks were not that good just in general but especially for the prices that they charge. I would say that is first and foremost. Our waiter was quite lackluster and lacking in asking if we wanted more drinks and refilling waters. No train puns from him or real engagement. The scenery that they played on the screens that were supposed to be our windows was also lacking. It was always the same snowy mountain woods flashing by. I wouldve quite enjoyed some city scape too. Maybe a theme. Like tonight youre boarding a train that travels through San fransisco or Japan. When our 90 minutes was up that wouldve been the perfect time to switch up the scenery and do like a were pulling into the next city stop. Play it up man. If its a train theme then freaking do that. But nope we boarded and exited the same snowy mountains.

This is a u inquest experience at Century grand. Have a virtual train ride on Platform 18 and have a good conversation with friends at a fun date night. If your are Looking for something different, this is the place. Be sure to eat before as it is only specialty cocktails served at each bar. Make reservations and get ready for the ride.

This place and the quality of drinks and service could rival any top cocktail spot in the country. Been to many spots in NYC and LA and this place is awesome. Great experience.

Really a unique experience! The cocktails are beautiful to look, intricate and easy to drink. Definitely need a reservation.

This was one of the best experiences I had in Phoenix! One of the top highlights for sure. All staff members here thoroughly enjoy their jobs and made that obvious. I love how they make it such a personal experience and make everyone feel special! The cocktail menu is superb - even the small details are accounted for.

Such a great experience. Love that the bar makes it an experience, not just a seat at the bar. More people should be doing this type of concept. Props to them making an unforgettable experience. Try it!!

Great drinks! The Venom of Tranquility was the most interesting drink Ive ever had. Also our server was awesome. Very good place for a date or just to experience something new.

This was one of the best experiences Ive ever had, it was SO much fun!! The service was impeccable, they did everything they possibly could to make this a fabulous time for us. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone all day, every day. Im hoping to get to go again!

Ive never been happier in my life (Grey Hen bar)

Great experience. Great cocktails. The only thing that was disappointing is that they don’t tell you they already add 20% gratuity to your bulk and still put in a line for tipping. So if you don’t read the receipt, this is just a shady way of doubling the gratuities and it cheapened the experience.

Really unique experience and a great way to celebrate a birthday or special occasion or just have a different kind of night out instead of the typical bar.

Very cool experience! We reserved a spot in Platform 18 for cocktails. They had a couple of cocktail tastings and small bites to eat in the waiting area. We were approached when our table was ready after letting them know we had arrived. The cocktail menu (really, it’s a book) was extensive and slightly overwhelming, but very creative and a part of the experience. There is a glossary in the back which I really appreciated.I highly recommend going at least once... as for myself, I can’t wait to go back! Cocktails were amazing, service was fantastic, and the attention to detail is unmatched. For me, it’s not all about the cocktails or the food, it’s about the experience, and this was a great one.

One of the best speakeasy bars around! Located in an old train car with terrific bartenders and surrounded by screens that make it appear that you are traveling through the mountains adds to the whole experience. The cocktail menu is varied and has wonderful offerings. Reservations for the 90 minute trip are highly recommended.

First of all, the atmosphere is absolutely stunning. My wife and I went here for the conclusion of our 20th anniversary date. We couldnt get over the overall feel of being on a train in winter. It never got old. We were, however, very disappointed in the drinks. We ordered a total of six drinks between the two of us and they all basically tasted alike. Pretty bland with absolutely zero identity in each one. It seemed like everything was served with a mint garnish and some sort of dried fruit to distract you from the fact that they were some of the worst cocktails we had ever had.Having said that, it was an amazing experience because of the setting. Even waiting to, board was really cool. It almost had a theme park feel to it, like something you might see at Disney. Very impressive. This is obviously why people come here in the first place, but boy, if the drink quality matched the ambience, we may try to come monthly.

Part of a trio of top-shelf cocktail experiences within the Century Grand building, Platform 18 takes you into a literal train car complete with bar seating and windows simulating travelling through the Rocky Mountains.However, this place could be in a run down shack and Id still return because the drinks are that good. When you look over the menu you will likely see many ingredients youve never heard or (nor can easily find locally) and yet the glossary in the back will make sure you know exactly what youll be imbibing.Its definitely the most adventurous of the three cocktail experiences in there in terms of cocktail ideation. Ive found some of cocktails in there I didnt like but they were almost always met with new flavors I hadnt experienced before which made it was worth the $. That being said there are a ton of cocktails I do love on the menu and theres a really good chance youll find a cocktail you love enough to want to come back for that alone.The service is among the best in the valley. These folks are not your average bartenders, reservation attendants, managers, or servers. They all have memorable personalities, a good eye for keeping your next drink coming, and very friendly. They dont know just how to make the drink, some of them ideated the drink, and all of them have a solid understanding of whats in it and next level techniques to provide cocktails that look, feel, taste, smell, and linger very differently from one another.Id rather not think about how much Ive spent over the years at Barter and Shake concepts such as this one but thats my problem. The drinks cost what they do here for good reason. If youve only had Jack and Cokes, Vodka crans, AMFs, or well Whisky Sours with no egg whites then this might be a bit intimidating. The wonderful person taking care of you for the evening will know just what to get you started with.

Recently got back from a trip where we visited all three of the Century Grand bars and all three were outstanding. Platform 18 looks great and has a huge and very interesting cocktail list. Even though the cocktail list was pretty intimidating, our server was extremely helpful in breaking down the list, giving recommendations, and explaining what we could expect from each cocktail. The 90 minute time block you sign up for breezes by and left me wanting more.If I had one critique of the bar, I think I would request a bit more development of the train theme and ambiance as the space could probably use a little bit more. But still, its a fantastic five star bar and I would come back any time.

Just checked out undertow for the first time Love the aesthetics The atmosphere is very good The live portals make for an experience you probably wont find anywhere else

Great experience at Platform 18. The ambiance and commitment to the theme creates a great experience that is unique and inviting. The staff was great, and Jack took great care of our needs. The garnishments are elaborate and fun. The cocktails take time but it is well worth it. Come in before this place gets too popular for you to get a seat.

Totally unexpected. The food was outstanding. Happy hour prices for craft cocktails. The train car is just crazy.

This place is simply fantastic! Drinks were flawless!! Get a reservation here ASAP! The team was knowledgeable, did extensive training and had great recommendations. I look forward to the food courses and cocktails in the other areas. The whiskey list in the whiskey bar is mind-blowing. Can not wait to go back!

Customer service was terrible. Overpriced drinks for mostly ice. Prepare to have your bill having 20 percent tip for subpar service. Waitstaff including manager are extremely pretentious and not accommodating. The TVs and experience is unrealistic anyways. Not worth it.

Awesome experience!! We went to both Platform 18 as well as dinner in Century Grand, both were excellent! The details put into Platform 18 truly were incredible, from the lights on the wall flickering on occasion to the simple embossed cocktail napkins. The cocktails... delicious and beautiful right down to the clear ice. Dinner in Century Grand was dim sum style and we loved everything that came out. There was not a single dish we didnt enjoy. We found staying with the dim sum options was enough for dinner and we didnt have a need to order a main. Overall cost of both was very reasonable especially when you consider the whole experience. We will return for sure.

The drinks are truly next level! So many unique flavors and the theming is fantastic.

My experience has been mediocre at best - NOT because of the facility/bar but because making a reservation has been impossible. Their system (sevenrooms.com) appears to now allow reservations more than a day in advance. I hope that is only my experience to-date or that the system is down, but for someone who wants to plan ahead, it is not appealing to me at all.Looking at the only day that come up showing availability, tomorrow (Thursday 26 Aug 2021), only bar seating is available. I can understand that but not that there is no other dates/times available up to 3 weeks out.This place has a very good reputation from what I can tell, by word-of-mouth and online reviews and comments, but I may never get a chance to experience it myself.If anyone can recommend a different way of making a reservation (and no phone number is provided to even try to call and make a reservation), please do. I am very receptive and very willing to revise my review.JWW

Swanky cocktail lounge with an awesome theme. Impressive to say the least 👏

JAX is the man! This place is like you walked into a train station from the 1920s. Three separate locations in one: The Train Car (THE Experience), The Platform (walk in welcomed) and the Gray Hen (Whiskey bar). Check the menu thoroughly and then just ask the bartenders what you should get based on the alcohol of choice. Serious worth the reservations and price!! See the pics as I just couldnt even begin to do this place justice with words!(the 4 stars is do to the absolute rudeness of the bartender at the Gray Hen on this Tuesday night. Didnt pay attention until I tip 5$ and then he was all smiles)

Wow! This is a bar you MUST check out! Such an experience! Don’t be overwhelmed by the reservation process or the upfront prepayment- just do it! You won’t regret it! Their drink menu is ALOT so maybe check it out before you go or just tell your bartender what you’re into and let them decide! I also recommend arriving on time so you enjoy your 90 minutes as you won’t want to leave.

Barter and Shake does it again with another one of a kind experience. Whether you’re grabbing a drink on the one of a kind train car, stopping by the whisky room, or enjoying the dim-sum dining experience, you won’t be disappointed.

Had a great time. The server was FANTASTIC. Make a reservation through. Went on a Sunday on the roll of the dice and luckily got a table. Missed the first dim sum round but enjoyed the 2nd round. Cocktails are $13-15 and if you’re not sure, ask the server who knows all. Go in and enjoy the atmosphere, even just for cocktails. (Be ready though, just like UnderTow, there is a time limit)

Concept and staff are a 5/5! Staff was knowledgeable and attentive without being smothering. Drinks from the menu, not so good. Sorry, stay with the standards you know. If you do that, youll have a great experience.

We had a great experience!! The food, drinks and service was excellent. We will be coming back.

Very fun to have a specialty bar with a unique theme. Our bartender was great and very knowledgeable. He took all the guesswork out of helping me figure out what kind of drink I wanted. The drinks were excellent, but it comes at a cost. Cant wait to bring my out of town friends.

This place is awesome. Feels like a real train car with their cinematography. Pay attention to their details which makes the vibe of the place even better. Creative cocktails. Some of the cocktails come with cookies - and they are delicious cookies. Make sure to ask which drinks come with cookies. You will be jealous when the other people get cookies and your drink does not. Jimmy makes the place very inviting and a great host. Don’t forget to make reservations to visit.

This place was great. Great service and wonderful atmosphere. The themed lounges feel so real.

OK so let me start with this is one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had at a bar I took a few photos and videos wall inside and some of my friends legit thought I got on the train and left town. You literally step into a whole other world, and from the lighting to the sounds and the entire vibe, it was absolutely one of a kind. We walked in and we’re unsure, because we’ve never been here before and where exactly to go, and how to do this whole thing because you have different options immediately right when you walk in. we were greeted by one of the managers at the front I forgot her name… But she went above and beyond to make sure we got sat right away and she took us to platform 18 we sat in the back of the bar and our server was Dan aka daiquiri Dan, was a treat! He was so knowledgeable, well versed and educated us on the menu. It was pricy, but definitely so much fun to kick back and have good laughs with amazing cocktails. CANNOT wait to bring literally everyone I know here!

Very limited personal experience based mainly on ambience and atmosphere, however when it comes to ordering personalized drinks off the menu or requesting additional services they are very lackadaisical and unresponsive to customer request. Insincere and gimmicky. Like Disney without the mouse.

Platform 18 might just be one of the most interesting spots to grab a cocktail in Greater Phoenix. The detail put into the experience is amazing; you really feel like youre in a 1920s train car. The pre-order champagne and post-check bourbon chocolates were a nice touch, and the boozy sorbet was a real standout. That said, I thought the menu was too long. With just 90 minutes aboard the train, I didnt love that it took 15 of those minutes just to get through the menu to order. Compared to other speakeasy-type bars in town, the drinks were more expensive and in my opinion, not quite as good. Its a cool place to check out if you havent been yet or if you have friends visiting from out of town, but otherwise I dont see myself visiting Platform 18 often.

Really enjoyed the drinks and eats - it’s really clear that you are meant to have a great experience. All of the servers and bartenders were awesome. Will definitely be back!

This was an interesting experience! While the drinks are quite pricey, you are getting a very high quality product as well as complementary champagne and chocolates. However, I thought it was a bit weird that the fruits/extras added to the cocktails were done with bare hands, rather than tongs. I watched my waitress put a lemon slice in the glass with her bare hand, which is a practice I shuttered at as a past server. The bar itself gets very loud, so dont anticipate on having meaningful conversation. While you get 90 minutes in the experience, there are no bars in the area to go afterwards. We left feeling a bit underwhelmed with no where else to go. Overall, I think this experience is something you can do once and be content with.

Amazing drinks in a train-like atmosphere. Really recommended but make sure to book in advance specially for weekends.

Great experience. On par with Under Tow in the same building.

Loved this and cant wait to go back, favorite cocktails I have had in AZ and the setting is unforgettable.

Would be 5 stars if we didn’t have to wait 30 minutes for our reservation. We were happily enjoying drinks and appetizers at Century Grand when the hostess advised us to close out as our reservation was in 5 mins. We did and we’re up and waiting in 3 mins as we had already advised the bartender of our reservation. We were directed to the Platform waiting area were we told it would be closer to 840, not a problem... at 845 we were told it would be another 10 mins or so...uummm ok...we STOOD in heels At 858 we were directed in to the train. Definitely soured our mood but lucky our bartender was ready to cheer up right back up. She walked us through the menu with suggestions along the way. She put out stunning cocktails that were not only delicious but gorgeous! The train is very well done when you look up you honestly feel like you on riding down the railroad. What an unique experience, must try plus everyone starts with a glass of bubbly!!!

Very cool experience. We didn’t realize reservations are typically needed and just stopped in. They were accommodating and able to get us a spot at one of the bars pretty quickly. The drinks were amazing. The ambiance is really well done. The drinks are on the more expensive side but you’re partly paying for the experience. Will definitely return.

After being an ardent fan and visiting countless times (AND spending hundreds of dollars here), I had a reservation situation emerge. The worst part is that this was for my daughter’s wedding celebration kickoff. I texted. I emailed. I begged for help. No response. I didn’t realize they were closed Mon-Wed, so I thought it was a lost cause. Thankfully, they worked with me and issued a refund even though this was my mistake. I’m grateful. My advice: Before making a reservation be 100% sure you have the right date/time!

My night started around 4:30pm on a Wednesday. Once my “train arrived” at #platform18 I immediately took my seat where a complimentary glass of bubbles was poured. My waitress assisted me with choosing the best pre dinner cocktail to start my evening. We went with #baggagecar . A mix of rum, citrus, peppers, lemon, honey and topped with Earl Gray tea foam.Once complete a gin infused sorbet was up next #steeltycoon - a mix of strawberry, gin and cognac.To finish a bourbon chocolate prepares your pallet for #whiskey tasting at #greyhen ......#tbc *********************Platform 18, is an immersive cocktail experience, inside a replica of a Pullman Company train car. Galvanized by the Ferdinand Magellan, also known as U.S. Number 1, the original train car was built for President Franklin D.

Really fun concept. Awesome staff. Great drinks. Great dim sum. Get the Thai Beef Jerky! We were in from out of town and headed to UnderTow and saw this was opening. Got a seat at the bar before it started getting crowded. The best part of the experience is that staff come around with food carts where you can see the dim sum and get a description. If you like something you get it right from the cart. Genius idea as we were hungry. We had food before our drink were even done being mixed! The staff was impeccable. Seriously, everyone was nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. Tommy even wrote a list of places we should visit in town. They spent a lot of time on the decor and it shows. Since it’s an interactive experience it feels slightly like Epcot or some theme park that’s transporting you back in time. The Hen (the whiskey tasting bar and shop) was amazing. We tried their personal barrel picks and ended up leaving with three bottles. Prices on bottles were the most honest I’ve ever seen. Coming from Chicago where bottles get snatched up immediately, the selection was legendary. We even had a chance to peak our heads into the Train Car experience. It looked really cool, but we were happy to have the no-reservation bar. Again, thanks for a fun experience.

Sooo much fun!

Enjoyed our time. Our server was extremely nice and helpful. He was able to find the cocktail that matched our taste buds and offered helpful insight on different flavor profiles.I would say if you are going to go here, do not be afraid to ask questions. A lot of these drinks had words I have never even heard of and some of the combinations were so crazy that you just gotta ask. The one thing I wished could be a little different is the amount of time you get. I would love an extra half an hour, because by the time you know it, 90 minutes have flown by.Drinks range anywhere from about $15-22 but it is worth it. The creativity and passion oozes from these drinks and it really adds to the experience.*one thing for my motion sickness friends out here, if you easily get motion sickness I would recommend eating something prior and taking something to ease that about an hour before you go.

Drinks are high, you might want to watch your tab. As I didnt and paid $254 for drinks. Nice atmosphere.

After writing my initial review it was deleted by the owner of the bar after he left a comment because I complained about the outrageous prices and the amount of cocktail you actually get for your money. The ice cubes are very large and very innovative..All in all a total rip off...And I will write it again if it is deleted.So... Dont bother...

One of the most unique bars in the state. Ambiance and quality are at another level. If you can get a reservation dont pass up the opportunity! Just remember to eat before you go as the only food is ice cream with more alcohol.

My partner and I were visiting Phoenix and were looking for a craft cocktail spot - and this was it!! Friendly staff, incredible drinks and great atmosphere. You must go here!!

Had an amazing time with me and my girlfriends. Looks like a great place for a date too. The drinks were delicious af and the atmosphere was perfect. Recommend this place for sure. 10 outta 10.

Completely worth visiting. This is one out of three bars and each offered a very unique experience. Platform 18 was my favorite but I highly would suggest checking them all out.

Brittany is a top notch crafter of cocktails. While drinking our exquisite libations, she was a delight to chat with, and knowledge about the venue, drinks and plates!

Such a neat experience and the cocktails were topnotch. The bartender really helped recommend something that was perfect for me. The Bootlegger ice cream was outstanding!! I have been recommending friends and family to check it out since I went.

This is Definitely, going to be my New,Go To Place, when I’m in the area!Super Friendly, Great Staff,Amazing Drinks, and the train is a must,Can’t wait to go to the Whiskey Library!

Just made a reservation and it was honestly pretty classist and shady in terms of billing. Just super convoluted. I paid over $66 just to reserve 2 seats (Cant book in odd Numbers, you HAVE to round up) late on a Tuesday night! This includes a 20% gratuity, which Im happy to pay. Just wanted to highlight this means they dont pay their staff a living wage. Ill update my review after going, but be aware of shady billing practices.UPDATE: legit a cool concept bar! Kinda pricey and reservation only but drinks and service is fantastic, try the ice cream! I would give it 5 stars but the reservation system is still to convoluted for my liking!

One of the most incredible experiences Ive ever had. Absolutely amazing

What a great concept. Three different themes with Disney World level decor and smoke machines 😂. The drinks where equally as entertaining as the ambiance.

Amazing!!!! Great experience! 10/10. The drinks were soooo detailed.

Andrew with Grey Hen was amazing, Brian with the Platform 18 was also Amazing. Andrew taught us a bunch and Brian took great care of us, making sure we were completely satisfied. We had a great experience. Thanks for everything.

Oh my God, this place was amazing. I dont want to give any details, because the beauty of it was discovering them on our own, BUT I will say that the staff is made up of lovely, capable, friendly folks and the drinks are top notch. Seriously, try the sorbet!

Awesome cocktails and a totally unique experience. There needs to be at least some kind of snack option - even nuts or something. It’s 100% cocktails, and not cheap ones either.

Delicious drinks. The staff are pleasant. The tour g lady bartender is fantastic.

Careful when making your reservation! We were looking forward to coming to Century Grand but left disappointed after expecting one thing and getting another. When I made plans to surprise my husband for our 22nd wedding anniversary, I was excited to find Century Grand during my Google search. On the right side of the Google page for Century Grand read “Platform 18 at Century Grand” with amazing photos of the inside of the “train” and cool videos of the interior on You Tube. I clicked on the website icon and scrolled down to reservations and made a reservation for (2) at a time that would work around our dinner plans which meant either early in the evening, in this case, a 5:00pm barstool or a 9:30pm table. I wanted a table but didn’t want to be rushed during our dinner, so I chose 5pm and entered my credit card info. When we arrived, I told them we had a reservation for Platform 18 and gave my name. The hostess looked a little confused and then lead us to the “bar seat” which was not at the bar. Instead, it was two barstools in a far corner behind the folks at the bar. We were smushed up against a 4-inch ledge that our drinks barely fit on. I told the waitress that are reservation was on the train and she explained that I made a mistake and had made a reservation at Grey Hen Rx instead. She said that Platform 18 was totally full and could not accommodate us. The bartender made awesome drinks, but we had to wait a long time to get our orders in because I’m sure the poor gal forgot we were there. The staff was nice, and our drinks were great but left disappointed and disenchanted.

We loved our evening here. The interior of the train car was done so well that youre really immersed in the atmosphere of this bar. The bartender was fantastic and helpful, and the drinks were each perfect and unlike any cocktails Ive had before in their level of complexity and balance.

Drinks were amazing, definitely a must go.... so amazing!

What a neat concept. A 90 minute train ride with great cocktails, friendly staff, and great atmosphere. Must go! I loved it.

Outstanding experience. Very unique ingredients in the drinks. Thanks, Nicole.

Great experience! Definitely worth to check it out!

Soooooo much fun!!!!! The drinks were delicious!! The drink menu is long and has something on the list for everyone!The dim sum was a fun, I cant wait to come back to stay for a dining experience!!

First of all, to charge $25.00 to just make a reservation is really bad! But then to charge $25.00 per person plus a 20% gratuity and a service charge of 4% is unheard of. I can only imagine what their cocktails cost. All this and being a limited stay of 90 minutes!! NO thanks

Nice and helpful staff. Enjoyed my time here. Its a great experience!
