The beginning

After The Great War, a soldier returned home carrying more than memories — including the Browning Automatic Rifle, Model 1918. When Prohibition hit, he traded firepower for bourbon and built a secret speakeasy beneath the streets of Salina.

M1918 quickly became legend: a hideout for outlaws, whispered about in the same breath as Capone, Bonnie, and Clyde. Behind its hidden doors flowed forged papers, strong drinks, and stronger company.

Today, M1918 honors that legacy with low lights, hand-crafted cocktails, and a spirit that still bends the rules. Step inside — and drink in the stories and secrets.
