"21st Amendment is one of my go-to spots—I’m here almost every weekend, and it’s easily in my top three bars in Boston. The vibe is what keeps me coming back. Between the history of the place and how convenient the location is, it’s the kind of bar that just works whether you’re starting the night or settling in for a few drinks. The staff is a big part of what makes it great. Mariajose and Francesca are both excellent servers—friendly, attentive, and consistent. Nick behind the bar is just as solid and keeps things moving even when the place is packed. Service always feels smooth and professional without being forced. The drink selection is strong, with a good variety of beers and a well-stocked lineup of liquors. The food is classic bar food—simple, straightforward, and tasty. It’s not trying to be anything fancy, but it gets the job done, which honestly fits the place perfectly. Overall, 21st Amendment is a staple. Great energy, reliable service, solid drinks, and a location that makes it easy to keep coming back."

"It was not busy when I went (late afternoon). I was able to choose my own seat and chose the dining area up the steps. Great ambiance- dark woods, copper hood over the fireplace. Ordered drinks, onion rings (crisp and well-seasoned), and buffalo tenders (an app but more than enough for a meal). The sauce had some heat but not too bad. The chicken was moist, lightly breaded, and meaty. Great service. There was a full service bar and outdoor seating too. Would go there again."

"My boyfriend and I were wandering around Boston and stumbled upon this place by accident. We ordered some beers, and after coming back from the bathroom, I suddenly realized my promise ring was missing. Not only did the customers help me search for it, but the bartender (I wish I had caught her name) went above and beyond—she helped me sift through the bathroom trashcan twice. We ended up having three beers total, and the staff insisted they were on the house to help lift my spirits, even though there was a chance the ring had been lost somewhere on the street. “A ring doesn’t make a couple,” the staff and customers told us. We didn’t try the food, but the Allagash and Maine Lunch were great. We haven’t found the ring (yet), but I truly just wanted to say that the service here was the kindest and most caring I’ve ever experienced."

"I had the pleasure of eating and having a beer here after stumbling upon this absolute gem of a restaurant while walking around downtown. Bri was an amazing server! Very attentive and kind! Very refreshing to see from a server in restaurants these days. We never felt rushed or like inconvenience!! Will be returning soon!!"

"I can't believe it took me so long to find this place, but I'm glad I did. It doesn't get any better than this...cozy old pub with a friendly staff and great food and drinks. The sliders were cooked perfectly and were amazing with thick pieces of juicy beef, and the Manhattan I had with it was great. Oh, and generous pours too! But the food and drinks were just the icing on the cake...the main draw for me was the atmosphere. It's just a nice place to warm up after a cold night out."
