🏆🍹 Century Grand, the immersive three-bar concept in Phoenix, was named Best U.S. Cocktail Bar at the Tales of the Cocktail Foundation’s 17th annual Spirited Awards, the Oscars of the bar industry, in New Orleans.
The concept: Century Grand, located on the northeast corner of Indian School and 36th Street, features three bars under one roof – Pullman train car-themed Platform 18 (pictured), New Orleans apothecary-inspired Grey Hen Rx, and Old World ship-like UnderTow.
The award: The Spirited Awards are judged by a collection of bartenders, owners, educators, and writers from around the country.
The quote: ‘‘Thrilled doesn’t begin to cover how we feel to receive this recognition, and we couldn’t have done it without all our friends, guests, and, of course, our amazing team,’’ Century Grand posted on social media.
Also honored: Little Rituals at the Residence Inn/Courtyard by Marriott in Phoenix was one of four finalists for Best U.S. Hotel Bar, but lost out to Hey Love at The Jupiter in Portland, Ore.
