The Gladly

Grey Hen Rx

3626 E Indian School Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85018

This is an immersive experience, not a restaurant: inspired by New Orleans and the world of professional pharmacy, Grey Hen Rx builds concoctions that show off their love of the Big Easy, their love of rare and famous whiskeys alike, and their love of “boozy classics”, which may or may not include ice cream — just like the old fashioned drugstore used to have. You know, without the alcohol in it.
