Salina is home to M1918, a prohibition-era speakeasy — an elevated experience built for those who appreciate a good pour and an even better story. Tucked behind an unmarked door, this hidden spot brings something entirely new to the city’s nightlife: an escape from the ordinary, a transport in time, and a space designed for connection over cocktails.
The name is a simple nod to the past, encompassing character and American history. We’ve borrowed that spirit to craft a place where intention meets atmosphere. Step inside and you’ll find more than just dim lights and well-balanced drinks. Inside M1918, you’ll uncover a throwback to an era where live music filled the room, art flourished in every corner, and cocktails were crafted to bring it all together.
Our cocktails are built with reverence for tradition, using timeless techniques and top-shelf spirits. Whether you’re here for the escape, the conversation, or the perfect Old Fashioned, M1918 offers a hidden world where the past lives on—one pour at a time.
