Who We Are

About Barter & Shake

Barter & Shake is the parent company of such renowned bar programs as Sunny’s Cocktail Lounge, UnderTow, Century Grand, Platform 18 and Grey Hen Rx. Each brand is comprised of an award-winning cocktail lineup and infused with a narrative background that creates a time and place for our guests to experience.

The name, Barter & Shake, is also rooted in history. The two terms encompass a “Conversation and a Commitment.” In this vein, we are entering into a conversation with our guests. It is impossible to truly serve another as your guest without first learning a little about them – what they like, what they expect, what makes them happy.

Upon learning this – our goal is to make a commitment on our initial promise of a great experience. . . and to promise a great experience on every visit after that, too.
