There have been many times where I've tried restaurants that had a lot of stars, but the local people are just inflating the reviews. - this is not one of those places. The food here is absolutely phenomenal. The speakeasy vibe even adds to the ambience. The drinks are strong yet not too strong. This restaurant is so good that I am now planning a trip with my wife and my friends to come back up to this area to ski just so I can bring them here and have their mind blown with how great the food is here. if there was an option to give six stars, I would!

So we heard about this place on one our trips to Keene. First time we ventured over, we picked a…read moreday when they were closed. Second time, we just stopped in for drinks. Third time I stopped in I had dinner. The bartenders and wait staff dress in 20's attire and the place has that prohibition feel to it. They make high-end cocktails but I usually stick with a gin and tonic. The menu is limited but the meal portion was generous. I had the chicken fried chicken. It was a huge piece of breaded chicken over mashed potatoes and asparagus topped with a traditional white gravy. Very tasty. We've added this establishment to our rotation when we visit Keene.

If you think that you will be getting regular old bar/pub food, you will be surprised. The magic is in the seasonal specials offerings. We ordered a caprese salad made from locally grown tomatoes and couldn't believe our tastebuds. The mushroom toast was so good that my teen let my try a tiny bite and then devoured the entire rest of it. The pasta special with pork ragu was super traditional tasting and came with a ricotta topping and crispy breadcrumbs. They also have pub items like mozzarella sticks and burgers, but even the Boozer burger was excellent. The service was also excellent. Maggie was knowledgeable about the menu and based on her excited attitude about the specials, we ordered almost one of each. For dessert we had the beignets. I have had my share of beignets and these were the most crispy, light, fluffy, airy and delicious beignets I have ever had in my 53 years of living. The ambiance is tavern-like. The booths are very upright. Not the most comfy, but didn't affect my rating.

We had a rich refreshing overflowing steak tip salad: huge chunks of tender beef mixed with greens, chopped green sweet-peppers, sliced red onions, and fresh cucumber pieces. We had a tender turkey BLT with crispy bacon and fresh veggies on crisply-toasted white. A lovely afternoon!

21B Bar & Grill opened in September 2024 in Jaffrey, across the street from the town common. This…read morecozy bistro serves dinner and drinks several nights a week, closed Mondays & Tuesdays (in 2024). Reservations are encouraged since table seating is limited, but they have seating up at the bar. The main food preparation area by the chef is in the back corner of the dining room and another kitchen in the back. For food, they offer a selection of homemade dishes with local and European influence including a selection of starters, soups, salads, main entrees (chicken, flank steak, pasta dishes, seafood, vegetarian), and housemade desserts. They also offer specials and a list of wine, cocktails and mocktails. The prices are moderate here. After checking out the Halloween decorations along town streets, I stopped by 21B Bar & Grill on Main Street, which is not affiliated with 21 Bar & Grill in Keene. I did not have a reservation since this was a last minute decision to have dinner here and I took a seat up at the corner bar. I was given menus to look at and I got an ice water to start. I was going to order the Beef Wellington Puffs for an appetizer, but they sold out. I ordered the Blini ($13 plus tax) for an appetizer and the Pumpkin Fettuccine Alfredo ($19 plus tax) for an entrée (special dish). The Blini came out first which were three dark round smaller pancakes topped with smoked salmon and crème fraiche. This starter was pretty good, but it did not resemble the blini in their online picture which had 4 stacked small light colored pancakes and less salmon. The Pumpkin Alfredo with a slice of garlic toast was a good portion of firm cooked fettuccine noodles smothered with a thick creamy pumpkin alfredo sauce (orange color). 1 thoroughly enjoyed this entrée and decided to get dessert, which was a Pumpkin Tiramisu ($10 plus tax) which was a small piece layered with espresso soaked ladyfingers, cool creamy layers topped with whipped cream. The check was presented which was $43.96 with tax and before tip. Overall, the food had was very enjoyable and the staff seemed pleasant. They were asking customers where they were coming from including locals from Jaffrey & Peterborough, folks from across the MA border, and myself driving from Concord after work. I will very likely return back here for dinner again so I can try out their French Hunter's Chicken, which looked very appetizing and one of their most popular dishes.

Presentation of both was good; rice bowl came in a plastic bowl. Great place if you're watching calories, but the prices should match the sizing. Overall, we left still feeling hungry. Alcohol: beer on tap options were decent, but small pours. Ordered cosmopolitan martini--it was all juice and maybe one shot of vodka. Perhaps this isn't the place for a martini, so be aware of your audience. Seems like a beer and margaritas/whiskey only place. Ambiance: decor seems like it's having an identity crisis. Random extra large blue velvet upholstered booth out of a speakeasy, pool table, and mismatched art. Music didn't match the vibe, whatever the vibe was trying to be.
