Ironically this was the last of the Century Grand bars that I have visited and I was expecting the experience to be subpar in comparison to Undertow and Platform 18. I'm not sure why I had this bias going in, but I assume it's because the other two were just so amazing that I couldn't imagine this holding a candle to it.Of course, I was completely wrong and not only were the cocktails amazing, the service was superb. The bartender / mixologist who helped us was incredibly knowledgeable about not only the drinks, but also the history and story that this New Orleans themed speak easy was portraying.Every drink was fantastic and the ambiance was to die for. I ended up getting the $60 drink and it was absolutely delectable - I only ordered it after trying Undertow's premier Cocktail and was blown away by the presentation and generous pour.If you are a fan of Whiskeys, they have an incredibly extensive tasting menu at different price points.My one minor complaint was that there was an incredibly loud (perhaps slightly drunk) party waiting to be seated for what felt like ages that was a slight downer on the experience, it would have been nice if the staff had asked them to quiet down a tad.

Went for a friend’s birthday and the staff were friendly and so accommodating! You can hear the train whistle next door and the atmosphere feels like an inside outside vibe. Amazing cocktails and exceptional service by Justice, Jonah, and Freddie. Thank you so much again for making our night special!

last weekend i decided to treat myself. my wife had recently died from cholera and in the same week my only son was shot dead in the street during an aviary dispute. i don’t have to tell you that i was in much dismay and needing reprieve from this cruel old world. i jumped a train at random and ate pills until i went to sleep. once i awoke i realized where the train had taken me. it was new orleans! my favorite old town! i was so happy to be there. for sure this was the place to forget my dead family. i walked onto the first bug filled patio i found and relieved myself. it happened to be the grey hen and boy was i in luck. i threw down my last “captain montgomery” nickel from the war and asked for a “heavy one”. i can tell you they did not disappoint. they were pharmacists, so i trusted them whole heartedly, and i told them i needed something for me and my family of ghosts. i’m not sure if it was the flashing street lights or the bug sounds coming from speakers, but i held my little girls hand one more time and i don’t care what nobody says. that old tyrant jim lancaster better stay outta that area and leave those good people alone, cuz i don’t got much to live for any more and. might try n find him.

I was beyond disappointed with this experience. To be seated out side of any of the actual locations was bad enough but for our group of 4 to be seated at a small 2-seater table which meant two of us were seated on a 6 inch low brick wall was an unfortunate experience. This was uncomfortable and I’m shocked this was an expected experience.Will not return.FWIW they could easily add a couple small stools to help with seating if that is actually the need, but asking your customers to sit where we did is unacceptable

Century Grand is such an amazing place in Arcadia to enjoy multiple speakeasies in an adventurous manner. The Grey Hen Rx in particular is a fantastic apothecary themed bar with incredible drink options. The shot options are delectable, I suggest the Starry shot and the Little Li Shou drink.

It was absolutely beautiful. The apothecary felt like it. There were skulls, phoenixes rising from the ashes and the whole drama of the place was breathtaking. I would go here just for the ambience. The drinks are a whole other story. They are amazing. As amazing as the bartenders serving them. They indulged in all of our questions about Phoenix and we absolutely enjoyed he discussion.

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 ?

The cocktails and bar staff are exceptional - the 2nd Wednesday of the month there is a burlesque show that's totally worth coming out on a school night for!
This is easily one of my favorite bars in the country. The old New Orleans apothecary vibe is amazing and the mixologists are extremely talented and professional.

We took out of town friends to the Grey Hen and they mention it almost every time we see them. What a fun experience to indulge in quality cocktails and feel transported!
