I was having a tough day so decided to try out a new place for an after-work brew and something to eat. That's when I stumbled upon the 21st amendment. Amazing service, I highly recommend this spot to anyone new to Boston or even long time residents looking for a great restaurant/bar. I hope that anyone who goes to this establishment gets Sophia as their server so they can have just as great of an experience as I had! read more

A great place to stop for that after work beer, I met my colleague here and we did exactly that. It's quite dark inside and that's okay. Friendly staff and they definitely had some hustle at slinging drinks. If you were not aware, the 21st Amendment to the US Constitution was the one that repealed Prohibition. Massachusetts was the eighth state to ratify the amendment, on June 26, 1933. Not cheap, but good. A-OK. read more

Stylish looking bar right next to Boston Commons... The atmosphere was nice, staff friendly but it was freezing in there, to the point I had to put my winter jacket back on. It was super uncomfortable... I guess we should have known when seeing the bartender wearing winter jacket... read more

I was intrigued by the name and history of this place...which is why my family and I decided to try it. The establishment was out of most of their beers, which we looked forward to having...but settled on one they did have, and made it work. The food was ok, I'd give it a solid 4 stars. We had nachos, pizzas, and fish and chips...all pretty tasty. What really grossed me out, was that at the very end of our time here, I went to use the restroom. While washing my hands, out of a restroom stall walked my waitress, who proceeded out of the restroom without washing hers. I followed her out, only to watch her walk right up to a new table And begin to take their order. Soooo....be mindful that if you choose to eat here, your plate may come with a side of ecoli. read more

Little underground type bar scene. Nice atmosphere with good drinks. A low key place to grab a beverage .

If your visiting Boston this is a must visit. Local vibe, great and reasonable priced food. Part of many pub crawls off the freedom trail. cant go wrong here! read more

Go where the locals go. If you want a local old Boston bar this is it! The people were very nice and helpful . The boneless tenders chicken wings are the best I have had in a very long time. Very meaty with the perfect amount of spice. Our bartender Lauren was outstanding ! read more

This place was a lot of fun! Went out with some friends, and got some drinks and dinner. Food was decent and the fall drinks were fun. Service was good and it was a fun place to hang out. I'm glad we checked it out! read more

Need new staff, one of the worst experience yet. Got there as party of 2, looking to stop by for a drink. At the main bar, we see the bartender cleaning up and tending to bartending duties, except serving the customers. Took more than 7 minutes for him to acknowledge new customers, let alone serving the current ones. Once we got our beers and drank them (about 15 minutes later), we decided to leave. No way to leave, we are unable to get the bill, no one is available at the bar. The same bartender makes eye contact with us at some point, we ask for the check and (A) asks us to wait and (B) says it's [her] job, her being another bartender we have not met yet. So we wait. After a total of 12 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge our wanted departure, our party went to the end of the bar to a waitress and asked for the bill. The (new) bartender then comes over with our checks, apologizes, and only accepts a $20 bill, hinting that tip is not needed, seeing the service we had. Let's be clear, the bar section was well staffed. Both bartenders were there the whole time, but not serving parched and hungry customers. While I appreciate the last step regarding the bill, I won't be going back to this establishment. Confusing experience. read more

Food was good. Typical pub food choices on the menu. Great location in the heart of Boston, across from the State House and Public Gardens. Small place with bar and pub indoor seating. Went there for the history of the old place. Only one server at the time who seemed rushed but she was pleasant. read more

I had the pleasure of being served by Sophia and had an amazing dining experience! She was so attentive and sweet and my party felt like a priority even on such a busy night. The food was amazing as well, I recommend the nachos! 10/10 experience, we will be back! read more

BEST BAR IN BOSTON. Some of the friendliest staff and of course great food! I might move to Boston just to go here more. If you're in Boston make sure you go here! read more

Absolute trash place... rude bar tender. He has no idea how to be social aware of his surroundings.

The place is alive will locals and historians! The name says it all if you check the 21st and prohibition! Robert Parker does frequent this local bar....a must see and party hearty! Bad Bob from SF read more

Went there the other day and it was great! service was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect!

Popped into here for drinks on a Sunday afternoon. Kind of a dark spot I presumed to be more for regulars than visitors. Bartender was nice and made a good Moscow mule. Didn't have the opportunity to try food from their menu but it did smell tasty based on the orders at nearby tables. Definitely interested in returning again! read more

It's as Bostony as its name suggests. Very cool and cozy setting, very loud but not overwhelming. We got the Angry Arnold and the pear ginger martini. Simple, sweet, pretty good. Fries were on the softer/starchier side. The waitress seemed stressed but was doing a great job. Overall, a happy, laid back Friday night vibe. read more

The sliders were amazing! Some of the best I've had. The Greek salad was also quite good. We had friendly service, in dark, historic-type setting. I would go back! read more

Super Cute bar tucked in the middle of Bowdoin Street. Katelyn made a category 5 dark and stormy for us. Ask about her. Her as in Katelyn and the dark and stormy. The bar is extra full and the cocktails are made perfectly. We were on a liquid diet at the time but will be back to try the Lobster, whatever the soup of the day is and one of their Tavern Pizza's. Thank you 21st Amendment, we will be back. read more

I love the dahk bah atmosphere! I also love the grilled 4- cheese sandwich, but we almost always order the cheeseburger sliders with onion rings. Can't be beat! read more

The food is a small pub menu but great value for money and great tasting. Thanks again Reanna see you next time I'm there for sure read more

Okay, this is an odd place. Set in the basement of an apartment building across from the Massachusetts State House this bar gives off an anachronistic sensibility without thrilling. The paster and timber beam ceiling is visually appealing as you sip your cocktail or local beer. This spot has tons of potential and in such a great spot but the tableau is incomplete. Although beautifully appointed the bar is somewhat lacking in the kind of variety you might expect for the price AND the plastic menus give off a cheap diner vibe that, although inconsistent with the pretty decent food, cannot really be forgotten while dining. Tagline: worth the time, but not the money read more

Stopped in for a quick bite before prior to heading to the airport and I'm glad we did. Great atmosphere, attentive staff, and the food was great! read more

Stopped in her last night (during a severe thunderstorm) to have a beer and some nachos. The beers were great but unfortunately they were running out of almost everything! They have good choices on draft. We also got the nachos which were very yummy. All of the waitresses and bartenders were so friendly and each of them checked on us multiple times. It's a little more of a dive bar scene than I was expecting but a great spot nonetheless. read more

Service was amazing. Check out heather the vegan best waitress ever. Plus she is working while taking classes. The slides were best in the area. Hot, tasty and juicy. We always had the nachos (a variation of the menu item only with beans and pico only). Winner read more

never a dull moment here, great staff, great drinks! we love a heavy pour! ambiance like no other.

The service was impeccable. A bottle was knocked out of someone's hand, and within 15 seconds it was already swept up off the floor, leaving no trace of the accident. The bartender, Mike, truly knows what people need and how to keep the party rolling. Excellent spot, would recommend to my mother. read more

We popped in here to get out of the freezing rain one day while walking through Boston and were smitten with the atmosphere! It's a very cozy bar with a very New England feel with the wooden tables and brick walls. The reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because they were out of two of the seasonal beverages we wanted. One of them they simply misplaced the syrup and couldn't find it. However what we ended up with was just fine. I can't say anything about the food as we simply ordered drinks. read more

You've probably read that the 21st Amendment is dark. Well, dark isn't quite enough to describe it. Kinda like my buddy said: "I guess if you drop something, just forget about. You're never going to find it". I suppose during daylight hours it's a little better. But other than that, the nachos were very good the beer was cold enough and the people were friendly. It's sort of a smallish, neighborhood bar. I'd definitely go back when in the neighborhood. read more

The classic burger sliders here at awesome and the best thing to have to watch Sunday games. Great selection of draft beers and unique fall drinks. Will def be returning! read more

Bleh had a Moscow mule and it's probably the worst I've had. Didn't bother getting any food. Husband had a maple Manhattan, he said it wasnt bad. Wouldn't recommend, personally. read more

We stopped here twice during our trip to Boston. We stumbled on it by accident the first time, and the second time it was the first stop on a haunted bar crawl tour. This is an old bar with a hometown feel. There's a small seasonal cocktail menu that we got drinks from and enjoyed. During our second visit we grabbed food which was good. The food menu is more extensive than I expected for a small bar and the food was better than I expected too. The bartenders and the waitress were super friendly and patient. Our waitress was busy but made sure we were taken care of regardless. Apparently this was a gentlemen only bar back in the day and it has that feel to it. Especially evident when you go to the women's restroom which was definitely added on after the fact. You almost feel like you're walking into the kitchen to hit the bathroom. I think it adds to the charm and history of the place. We enjoyed both stops here. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Stopped in here with my boyfriend on a whim and now I'm obsessed! Vibes are a small Irish pub in the countryside (in the best way possible). Staff was awesome, food was amazing, and drinks were never empty. Highly recommend and will be back! read more

Such a great spot! I've never needed a reservation here, I've just been able to walk in and get a table no problem. It's very dark/small inside, but it's an extremely cozy pub vibe! The staff is super attentive and friendly. I highly recommend getting the loaded nachos, they are HUGE and to die for. I also love the sliders (comes with 4) because they come with a large onion ring stack. Definitely a good place to come in for comfort food and a drink! read more
