Reservations Our Menu View PDF Version The Venue Our Process Behind the Scenes: Elegant Cocktails 101 Each one of our cocktails is not simply mixed, they’re designed. We consider what our guests enjoy drinking, we consider what ingredients are gaining attention across the nation, we research history and we focus on the most important part of any cocktail menu: Does this taste wonderful? Does this excite the guest to crave another one? We rely heavily on curiosity to inform our adventure; and we rely on our guests to enjoy the ride. Our current favorite curiosities include “The West Side Cowboy” mixing Texas bourbon, homemade pecan honey and fresh grapefruit and “Beware the Paparazzi” featuring Bergamot infused vodka, strawberry honey, paprika and lemon. Craveworthy. Noteworthy. Satisfaction Guaranteed.

The menus are complex, and I always ask a lot of questions. Each bartender explained different aspects effortlessly and in a way that made me feel jealous to not know more. I love it here.” – Monica Alton, 2024 Platform 18 Reviews Amy B 1 days ago Fun place for cocktails before dinner! It's a train with the New York skyline being projected on windows with a 1920's theme. The drinks carry the theme as well with lots of great choices. They have very limited snacks so its a before or after dinner place. Reservastions require a deposit, which will go towards bill and are for 90 minutes. When your "stop" is approaching your conductor will let you know. So, strict on the 90 minutes. This is something different and fun to do before dinner somewhere. Alejandra Castillo 26 days ago The best cocktails I have ever tried in my life. Was in Scottsdale for my honeymoon and the staff there was amazing! Bartenders and hostess made my trip a wonderful experience. I will remember this place forever! 😍 Heather S. 29 days ago I had a west side cowboy and the film star to drink as well as the snack trio. The snack trio portion was more than enough for one person but everything was delicious. The service was great! natalia treb 29 days ago Loved the experience!

What a fun way to spend an afternoon. kimberly deaton 39 days ago Tonight we celebrated our friend’s birthday with a train ride through Prohibition-era Harlem. The curators of our experience, Blaze and Raquel, were wonderful stewards of the evening. They went above and beyond to make the experience extra special for our group, and their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. We had such a memorable time that we’ve already booked the neighboring experiences and can’t wait to come back and experience more of what Century Grand have to offer!
