This is a great bar. It's right next to the State House and off of the Boston Commons so it's a great spot to cool off in if you're doing the Freedom Trail or just hanging out on the Boston Commons. The burgers are delicious and rather large. My favorite small dishes/ appetizers are the mini cheeseburger sliders and the nachos with chili. Mmm. The beer selection isn't great with maybe 6 or 8 beers on tap and some more available in bottles. I usually just get a regular Sam Adams or whatever the seasonal Sam ale is. The waitstaff are friendly and attentive. All in all, it's a great bar and one of my favorite places to hang out in Boston. Pros: Location, food, service, atmosphere Cons: Beer selection

21st Amendment is good. Nice place to stop for a drink but would not receommend the food. The drinks are pricey but for one or two its a nice place to go.

The 21st Amendment is exactly what a Beantown watering hole should be. With political posters and photographs from prohibition gracing the walls and a dark wood bar, this is the perfect hangout for Hill residents and visitors alike. While the music is the standars top 40 fare, the affordable drinks and shots make for a party like atmosphere without the meathead element. The patrons are a mix ranging from NU art students to Someret Club brahmin. Conversations between strangers are bound to break out and servers are equally friendly often remembering and greeting repeat customers at the door. All in all, a neighborhood tavern that captures all that is good in the Boston character. Pros: Enlightened patrons, location, not much of a "hook-up" bar Cons: Music, closing hours (ocasionally), not much of a "hook-up" bar

This place is a hidden gem right next to the State House. Super-friendly waitstaff (Cy, the bartender, remembered me AND my drink after one time!) and very laid back, cozy tavern-type atmosphere. I've been here a couple times by myself & always ended up meeting someone interesting to talk to. Outgoing & unusual crowd mix - everyone from politician's & after work prof's., to local residents and a smattering of suffolk students hang out here - all just looking to enjoy themselves. Some article on the wall says JFK used to write speeches here - if they served the same lunch specials as they do now, I can see why it was his favorite hangout! I'll definitly be back. Pros: super friendly staff, great sandwiches, laid-back crowd Cons: , only night parking, can get crowded
