Favorite cocktail bar in Phoenix, actually favorite of any I have been to. All 3 are stellar. Amazing drinks, top notch service and atmosphere that can not be beat.

I arranged an engagement party here and wow. First of all, if you ever plan any event here Marti is your contact for such things and she delivers! She covers every detail and truly goes above and beyond. It honestly felt like I did nothing but have my guests show up. The level of service and professionalism is unmatched and everything better than I could have imagined. The decor, the sign, and the drinks were amazing. The food was as well. I would have another event here and would be happy to work with Marti again.

We went on a Saturday evening and the experience was amazing. My wife loved the ceviche! Caitlynn took great care of us in the South of the Border bar. The manager Shay I believe stopped by to check on us.

Had some chips and salsa along with some south of the border inspired cocktails.  As always some real genius combinations.  Come for an impromptu cocktail or grab one while waiting for El Train or the Undertow.  Blake is a stand up guy as in standing up behind the bar, but seriously he is a great mixologist.

Marti was such an amazing host/bartender. Sister flew in from out of town and visited, wanted to bring her to a place I’ve been wanting to attend for a long time and I or disappointed! Amazing atmosphere, exceptional service and a really cool theme and menu! We drank at platform 18 (definitely recommend). 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

Atmosphere: 9.5/10
Located inside Century Grand in Phoenix, which houses three different bars. Asian-themed, stylish, and slightly provocative in tone. The space feels intentional and polished. Backbar is impressive. Seating includes bar seats and a few tables. Music volume is good and fits the vibe.

Drinks: 9/10
Recommendation: Special Walnut Shrimp, Mango Sticky Rice
Newspaper-style menu that’s creative and distinctive. Drink selection is decent. Flavor execution is really strong—well balanced and thoughtful. No coasters, though some drinks don’t require them due to presentation. Glassware is average. Garnish and presentation stand out, with creative details that clearly match each drink’s concept.

Service: 8/10
Water served on arrival. Friendly and attentive team. Professionalism is average. Walk-in only. Prices are slightly above average for Phoenix.

We visited Lee's bar and had a wonderful, immersive experience. Our server was very knowledgeable and excited to share insights about the drink menu. Drinks came fully dressed in their theme and were absolutely delicious! There was a variety of sweet, savory, sour... A full compliment of tastes to be sipped and shared. Being just two of us we happened to luck into a table just after arriving but others were seen waiting on the planter benches around the venue. The star I took off for Atmosphere was actually for other patrons. As one might imagine it's a hot spot for "influencers" and some were less respectful (excessive noise levels, intruding space for photo ops) than others. Surely part of the issue was we did visit on a Saturday night, but when I think of a speakeasy I think of more demure general behavior.

Of the three bars at the century grand, the Grey Hen Rx is the least immersive but it’s our favorite after trying all of them. The cocktail menu is more extensive but no less impressive and there’s no concern on the reservation time. It feels like the staff has more time to engage with the customer. If you’re overwhelmed with the drink selection going with the bartenders recommendation is a good start.
