Live Jazz tunes from a trio of very talented musicians entertained us for the evening. The owner Ethan was in attendance and was very attentive to every detail, making sure everyone was having a great time and even gave private tours to view the rooftop bar. The bar tenders were fantastic and attentive, and the prohibition era cocktails were great! I especially love how they went the extra step and made the old fashioned and served them in a flask, hidden in a faux Bible. The whole experience was phenomenal! Their Spirits speak for themselves! If you haven't done a tasting in the beautiful tasting room.. what are you waiting for? I can't wait for all the upcoming events like the Krampus celebration and many others!

We walked by Amendment 21 and saw the jazz brunch menu and honestly it was perfect, didn't have to go out in the rain, thank god. The place wasn't busy which was nice, and it's got this cool old-timey vibe, like a classy prohibition bar but still comfy. There was a guy playing guitar live which totally fit the mood. Our waiter was great, super friendly and happy to go find answers for us when we asked questions. You could tell he actually cared. Hubby got the corned beef scramble and an orange juice and I got a coffee cocktail that was AMAZING. The best part was watching our server train the other staff on how to make my drink, so I got to lowkey eavesdrop on the whole process. Kinda fun! I also ordered a side of fruit and it was shockingly fresh, dragon fruit, orange, blueberries, like not sad hotel fruit at all. After my cocktail I wanted just a regular coffee and the server was awesome, he brought out coffee and fresh whipped cream and topped me off. Seriously such a small but amazing touch. Everything about it was just chill and cozy. Great service, fun vibe, and being able to charge it to the room was the cherry on top. We didn't even have to go outside in the rain. Total win.

Great night up at the bar with Isaac and Jabriel. This is my first time making it to Happy Hour,…read moreand the bargain prices just blew me away! Plus it's a generously-timed Happy Hour from 4 to 5:30--a bonus 30 minutes for scrumptious offerings. I thoroughly loved the slider (so delicious and tender) and the pork belly skewer--oh that pork! Another bonus in that each came with side salads that were different, interestingly flavored and very delicious. Enough so that I would have been happy with "just a salad." And the guys are great mixologists! My cocktails can only be non-alcohol right now. Each made up a fabulous drink for me on the spur. My favorite from Isaac was largely lime and grapefruit-based with some orgeat syrup. It was elegant and complex. (I hope they put it on the menu! I suggested they call it the Elegant Isaac.) Jabriel made me a coconut concoction that was delightful and smooth and which made a lovely dessert drink to end my meal. Love the atmosphere too. Great place...
