Ride the rails with some fancy cocktails at Century Grand in Phoenix

The big picture: The building at 3626 E. Indian School Road seems fairly nondescript, but inside, it is, as my wife described it, "Disneyland for adults."

• Century Grand houses three unique bars, each with its own fun theme.
• One of the bars, Grey Hen, looks like an old-time New Orleans apothecary, while UnderTow is a nautically themed cocktail bar.

What happened: We went to Platform 18, which looks like the interior of an old-school Pullman train car, complete with a stack of antique luggage and steam that rises near the entrance.

• The "windows" are digital screens that make you feel as though you're on a real train by showing a moving landscape of snow-covered fir trees in Colorado.

What I tried: I started the evening with a No Body, No Crime, made with bourbon, rum, salted plum, orange oils, cassia bark, toasted sesame and Thai basil, which cost $18. If you like an Old Fashioned, you'll like this.

• I also ordered a Gentlemen's Heist, made with cognac, Amontillado sherry, rye, passionflower bitters, mustard seed, orange oils, Cardamaro and a garnish of rosemary, which our server lightly singed with a flame to release the aroma. It had a delicious, buttery taste. I've never had anything quite like it.

1 tip: The cocktail menu is very gin-heavy.

1 sweet thing: They've got boozy ice cream desserts like the Last Word Ice Cream, made with gin, green chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, lime, cream and eggs, with a wafer of absinthe waffle cone.

Of note: The bars at Century Grand are reservation-only and they are not free.

• Grey Hen has an epic whiskey selection, so I'm going to have to go back sometime.
