"This is the place to stop when the only thing missing from your life is a beer and a plate of wings. Sitting on the edge of Beacon Hill in the shadow of the Statehouse, 21st Amendment is dark, with a fireplace, low ceilings, and the sort of historical lore other Boston bars would kill for. The building it’s in was built in 1899, and legend has it that JFK, who had an apartment nearby, wrote speeches in the space. The menu is short and simple, with excellent pub classics like IPA-battered fish and chips that crunch just right, juicy little sliders with an impressive stack of onion rings, and just-spicy-enough buffalo tenders that will help put the workday in the rearview." - Tanya Edwards
