Best Sliders and onion rings ever!
Victor A.

Stumbled on this little place for lunch after visiting the State House and Athenaeum past lunch time the wife and I were hungry and thirsty! Place was not super busy and our server Izzy was on it...she seated us immediately and took our drink and food orders. We snacked on spinach dip which was pretty filling and ordered some cups of clam chowda! The chef put some southwestern flavor which I thought was fabulous, since we are from TX! We finished by ordering the plate of sliders and by far, the best pub sliders I have ever had! Everything we ate was amazing. Izzy was energetic and never let our glasses go empty! The building was historic and it felt like you walked back in time! We would go back in heart beat for sure!

Was looking for an old pub and 21st delivered with that. We ordered food and wasn't sure what we would be getting. We all thought some typical deep fried bar food. Not the case. Everything was good. Salads, Buffalo chicken wrap, sweet potato fries. Service was slow but think it was due to shortage on staff.

Local lager and bourbon
Clif C.

This is a historical place. Come in and feel like you are in a dark lit speakeasy from the Victorian era circa 1899. JFK wrote his speeches here when he ran for congress. Our bartender Nick ran next door to find a special bourbon for us. Love this place! You must come visit!

This is the clam chowdah

I sat in Thomas Jefferson's favorite wooden chair This place also has a bathroom And space for at least 90 people

The bar

My fish & chips was delicious and so was the pint of Guinness! We didn't see any ghosts, but I'm sure one lives there just by looking g at the dark wood ceilings and some authentic decor. I would've given them a 5 star, but when we told our waitress we all wanted separate checks because it was a business trip she said she could only bring one check per table. Well, we gave her 4 credit cards and asked her to charge our individual items... which made her have to give us separate checks anyway!

On our spooky girls trip to Boston/Salem, we stopped at the 21st Amendment to have a beer. I loved that the place was full of locals and that they were so welcoming. Thank You! The 5 girls Miami/Ft. Lauderdale will be back!

When it comes to bars, they're usually either hit or miss for me, especially this close to downtown. Not too sure where 21st Amendment lands for me, but still had an enjoyable experience. The vibes here are good, and it was even more appealing to me that they had pretty good food in combination with their drinks. My partner and I started things off with a plate of nachos and each ordered an entree (a burger and fish and chips to be exact). What we were not expecting was the sheer quantity of food they would leave us with. The portions were insanely large for two people - absolutely not complaining, we were shocked! I wasn't blown away at all by the food quality itself though.. the nachos were especially mediocre, with very bland chicken and not very evenly distributed toppings. The burger and fish and chips were good but nothing super notable. Although we did visit on a Friday night, the service was extremely slow. We weren't in a rush so we didn't mind, but I wouldn't stop here if you're looking for a quick bite. Still, definitely a good bar with some good food, just don't expect to be blown away.

BBQ Filet Mignon Tips
Gwen M.

My friends and I really enjoyed this place! They both got the burger and I got the filet mignon tips. All sides were perfectly seasoned and the addition of the onion rings was amazing.They were some of the best we have had. My steak and their burger were both nice but not mind blowing. Wasn't sure what to expect when we came here but the low lighting created an intimate setting and we had great service so would recommend!

The Hangover Burger
Christopher T.

I came here on a fall night and being right in the thick of Boston was amazing! Our burgers/tips were cooked just right and the servers made sure to keep an eye on us even though we were outside

Vegas bombs and lemon martini
Abbey K.

Found this gem of a place on Yelp! definitely a locals spot, we were greeted by our waitress who got our order for us within a timely manner . They weren't terribly busy the night we went and they stayed open until 2am. The kitchen closes at 10 maybe 11 I wanna say but don't quote me on that. We got a Caesar salad to share and a pizza to take home! Well priced loved and I love the old time brick feel

Pumpkin spice martini
Vanessa O.

Amazing service and a great place to stop for drinks and good eats. Would definitely recommend to family and friends to visit on their trip to Boston. Will be back in the future. Make sure to have a pumpkin spice martini and a green tea shot! Pizza was delicious as well.

Excellent views and ambience. Friendly professional staff, and very nice menu. Great drinks…read more Conversations with other patrons is very knowledgeable and enjoyable. Everything is done "top notch ". Whether you are a traveler or a local, it can be either a special night out, or a regular place to frequent. Extra munchies are an added plus. Everything is slightly higher priced, but sometimes, you get what you pay for. I have been coming here for decades...since the old Ritz Carlton days, and still appreciate the revolution of this lovely spot.

We visited on January 11th, a few weeks prior to my wedding. This was a day I had planned for…read moremonths with my daughter and future stepdaughter, an important and meaningful occasion, and the experience fell significantly below expectations. In advance, I stopped into the hotel to confirm that a gluten-free guest could be accommodated and was assured this would be handled. In reality, the accommodation was inadequate and, at times, unacceptable. While the rest of us were served scones, my stepdaughter was given cut fruit in their place, and told that was all they had to accommodate.The dessert course consisted of what appeared to be basic gluten-free cookies, misrepresented as something more gourmet - egg nog cookies??? This lack of preparation was both disappointing, upsetting and avoidable. The broader experience was equally concerning. We were subjected to an unsolicited and uncomfortable "lesson" on tea service, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and celebratory occasion. While trying to enjoy the time with the girls, being a lifelong tea drinker and someone who has been to many times at your establishment and its various incarnations, this is something I have never experienced. The food quality was poor (scones were clearly reheated and stuck to the cloth napkin they were wrapped in), and there were notable service lapses, including being served water in a visibly shattered glass. Additionally, when hot water was added to refresh the tea, my stepdaughter's pot curdled and had to be replaced. It was especially disappointing, as I mentioned that I had stopped in and spoken with the concierge, and was assured, as they had called the kitchen while I stood there that they readily accommodated gluten-free. There are numerous places in the city that could have done this, and if you had just told me that you could not do so, I would have booked us elsewhere. I chose not to raise the multiple issues in the moment so as not to disrupt what was meant to be a special day for the girls and me. However, the total cost exceeded $500, and the experience did not come close to justifying that price point! Do not recommend.

But our table was in the main bar off to the side, so it was chaotic but fun. I do wish it was more private but it was still fun, just loud. Our waitress was really nice and did well with our large party. Their menu is mostly apps and smaller plates, so if you're looking more for a large meal this is not your spot. I got the nashville hot mozzarella sticks which were actually pretty good, I liked the tomato relish they put on top and the ranch was really good. Dive Bar Diva was my cocktail which was pretty good. My friends seemed to like their drinks and bar bites. After dinner we went upstairs to the club and got to skip the line (thankfully). The line for the club wraps around the building down the street most nights, so we got lucky. Dance floor is upstairs and it's pretty small, just one room. There were two DJs that night, and the music was really good. Bar was fun, they handed out free chicken tenders at one point and were squirting shots into peoples mouths out of gatorade bottles. It was awesome. Bathroom line upstairs for women was crazy, only one bathroom and it took a long line. I suggest going downstairs... but at least you'll see the famous cheetah print walls! I will say trying to get in contact with the reservation staff was difficult but finally they answered after days of my friends and I trying.
