21st Amendment

"BOSTON Sitting on the edge of one of Boston’s oldest neighborhoods, 21st Amendment is dark, with a fireplace, low ceilings, and the sort of historical lore other Boston bars would kill for. The building was built in 1899, and legend has it that JFK, who had an apartment nearby, wrote speeches in the space. Aside from its famous patrons, 21st Amendment has gained notoriety from people seeing a disgruntled Victorian woman in the darkly lit bathroom. " - anne cruz

"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

"This Beacon Hill stalwart hosts trivia on Sundays that starts at 7 p.m., which is perfect timing if you want a post-sightseeing snack and trivia session. The menu covers a range of bar foods, from burgers to steak tips." - Valerie Li Stack
