WWW.IDAHOFALLSMAGAZINE.COM 33 Justin Morris, director of food and beverages, said. "It's everything from cocktails to wine to beer to zero-proof cocktails." e zero-proof cocktails served in this lounge sets them apart from other wine and cra bars. "We really put a focus on trying to reach out to that part of the community that doesn't want to consume alcohol but still wants to come enjoy this environ- ment and this building," Justin said. Zero-proof cocktails, oen referred to as mock- tails, are non-alcoholic mixed drinks with all the same zest of a regular handcraed drink. So whether or not you enjoy an alcoholic or a non-al- coholic beverage, the menu at XVIII caters to all. Other notable drinks featured at XVIII are the ones that pay homage to the history of the Odd Fellows fraternity—the tenants who resided in this building decades before. "e Odd Fellows fraternity was here for a long time so in our collective ideas and wishes at the beginning of this development, we made a concert- ed effort to pay homage to that. e female coun- terpart to the Odd Fellows fraternity was called the Rebecca's so we have a drink called 'e Rebekah,'" Justin said. "e Odd Fellows were also notorious for hiding a human skull in the wall somewhere in their building so we created a cocktail named 'Skull in the Wall.'" Beyond the ambiance of XVIII and its diverse menu is its ideal and historical location. XVIII resides in the heart of downtown on 423 A St., known as the former Odd Fellows Building. is building dates back to as early as 1907 and has long been the home to fraternity's and a handful of businesses until 2017 when 100 Proof purchased the building. Keeping the same historic feel and many of the original building's features, XVIII is undeniably making a statement in downtown. And looking ahead, XVIII has plans to add a cigar lounge, pri- vate dining space, house DJ and full-service kitch- en whose food menu will reflect the singularity of the cocktails. "We want this to be a place where whether it's aer a business day or aer a business meeting, whether you have visitors or family from out of town, we are creating an accommodating place where every- body gets to come in, enjoy themselves and enjoy their company," Kenny said.
