Reviews of Twenty One Bar & Grill (Restaurant)

Heidi Carignan

Driving through Keene, needed to stop and get a bite to eat. One of the restaurants we were going to go to didn't open until 5; it was 1:00. We were walking around checking out places, saw this on the side street and decided to go in. Honestly, was a little worried at first. It's a college town and 21 is a bar, and it was seat yourself and we weren't sure we were noticed. Didn't expect much. Didn't have to wait long to get a menu though and the server brought us water right away. I was very pleasantly surprised. I had the Tuscan veggie wrap, which came with fries. The wrap was toasted /grilled and so good! The fries were good too. My friend had chicken tenders and she liked them. We didn't have drinks as we were pressed for time to get back on the road. Server was friendly and attentive.

Solid bar and grill--TVs tuned to ESPN for dinner and great waitstaff with a fun vibe, the menu is exactly what you expect from a bar. Great outdoor seating, too. Cons? My steak was pretty underseasoned and could have used a more attentive hand considering I ordered it medium and it came out closer to medium well. I'd go back no problem, however.

Ben Robertson

Great bar for a drink with friends or colleagues. Friendly staff. Noisy and crowded on Friday's after work. Men's room could be cleaner.

Angela Fish

Great food and drink.

L CC

Great atmosphere and drinks

Laura Carbonneau

Drinks are good, but selection is limited.

Richard Thackston

Home of Keene's premier mixologist.

Michael Wallace

Favorite Friday lunch spot. Brunch is great on the weekend also.

Standard bar with helpful and friendly bartenders

My Verity Channel

Great food. Great atmosphere. Good service

Wendy John

Expensive snobbery

Jeremiah Rutherford

Meh

Cindy Roane

Only two waitresses to wait tables and make drinks. Waitresses don't write down orders and forgot one dish. By the time dish was brought others at table almost done eating. When dish brought, found hair in food. They also will not do separate checks.

John Rice

Kelly Ashton

Mary Fish

Carla Jean

Great place where you can sit and talk and have the perfect Martini....bartender Karen was friendly and attentive

Jason Priest

Used to be very upscale and nice, now not so much. Used the restroom and it stunk so bad that my eyes were watering. Outdoor patio is decent, except for cigarette smoke!

Max Zurmuhlen

Just the best place. Great martinis etc. Great food. Great brunch.

Elizabeth Davis

Best happy hour in town! 1/2 price appetizers, $2 drafts and $2 off martinis, can't beat that! Also they have daily specials!

Carrie Sheeran

The martini selection is superb and delicious!! Very friendly service, fantastic happy hour specials. Definitely recommend!

Greg Parker

The best martinis in southern NH

Hailee Henny

Great food, a little pricey but worth every penny!

Martin Granville

Service could not have been slower. Over 45 minutes so far for rings and wings.

Robert Kelly

Great bar, good pub food

Tanya Nichols

Amazing food and drinks friendly people

Jamie L. J. White

Please close down for a day or five and have the place cleaned. Seriously, I'm begging you. My shoes stick to the floor inside AND on the patio. The food is so inconsistent, it is easy to tell when it's fresh and especially easy to tell when it isn't. The place used to have a loungy feel. It is now on its way to becoming a dive bar with food to match.

Heidi Hale

My favorite spot

Robert Bergevin

Excellent!

Bryan Surprenant

I love the cocktails they make here.

Dave Melanson

Andrew Metell

Two happy hours!! Great apps and amazing martini menu with 30+ martinis.

Chris Wessner

Wanted to try a local place in Keene and this place was great. Wasn't sure on the food given the small size and seemed more like a bar, but great stuff! Had the blackened chicken wrap and hand breaded tenders. Will be going back and would give athumbs up!

Daniel White

The beef skewers used to he good. Peanut sauce is great. The beef used to be a better cut and was in cubes. Now it is beyond chewy and cut into strips. If your jaw needs a workout do it. The chicken tenders are a great bet. Staff is nice. Drinks are good and reasonable. Pretty standard.

Operator K

One of the better places to drink in Keene. Much classier than the other places. The mixed drinks are actually very good. They have great house mix drinks that are definitely worth it.

Daryl Hastings

One of the best places in town for an adult beverage and a good meal. The blackened chicken wrap paired with the Parmesan portobello fries is amazing. The drink selection is great with specials always being offered to keep it interesting. The staff has always been friendly and attentive and keep it together during the busy times. For me this is a Keene staple to which I will gladly continue to give my patronage and support to.

Isis Latham

Love the food! Love the martinis!!

gene lehto

Cozy comfortable setting down town!

Atticus Rollins

The drinks are always perfect. The food is great. BUT HOW DARE YOU GET RID OF THE BAKED BRIE APPETIZER!

Mackenzie Hahn

The drink specials are phenomenal!

Mark Stevens

Something has changed....our waiter/bar tender was great but food never came out...2 hours...no food

Tracy Bartella

Really fun creative cocktails. Love the espresso martinis!

Katie Cash

A little dated, but service and food were great!

Darlene O'Reagan

Good martinis. Not too busy so service was good

Tim Ahern

The drinks are well made and the burgers are juicy and delicious! Karen is the best!

Jeff Santman

Good food.... Really good. Waffle home fries... Beef brisket and eggs... Yumm. Service was a bit slow but not for lack of effort... Only 2 girls to cover both the bar and the tables, but they were hustling. And very good prices. It's a bar though and the music isn't exactly relaxing Sunday Brunch jazz. Will definitely come back though...

Gretchen Tillson

It would be 5 stars but for the wait. There weren't very many people there, waited a long time for everything. But the food and drinks were delicious!

Neil Heckley

Moved back to New England about 4 years ago and had not changed my DL ID. Went to the front of the bar sat down and ordered a drink. Two girls were running the bar. They made rude comments about where they thought I was from. Totally unprofessional and rude. Walked out after one drink.

Samuel Elliott

So I am only giving this bar 3 stars because I was not extremely pleased with the prices of the drinks here. I am not at all unsatisfied with the quality of service and the cleanliness of the place. Definitely more of a place for those of you who prefer a quiet night out with a loved one or two. Not so much of a college hang-out

Zach Trombi

Great place to go for cocktails and a meal. One of the best places in Keene is to get brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.

Michael hof

Went for a Saturday brunch. Great sandwiches, fast service, and the chocolate raspberry drink was on point.

Jennifer Morrill

Ryan Glick

Quieter and more upscale than most bars in town.

Troy Crosby

Great bar great people. Food selection is superb.

Snotty Robinson

Happy hour is the only way to go here.. lunch is crazy money and the drinks otherwise are over priced..

Jennifer Thompson

Great place!

Eric Johnson

It's a tight space but drinks and food are good

Sara L

Very hot in Summer months. Not enough AC for the amount of people that try to fit in there. It's a bit too small as far as the dining area goes. The outside dining area is nice, but again, far too small. The service is ok and the food and drink are good. A little pricey but not too bad. A good starter place on your fun nights out!

Manolis Rentumis

You won't find a nicer sit down bar with nicer staff and cleaner atmosphere

Tyler Hecker

Good bar, good vibes, great bartenders.

Adam Sterling

Good service, good drinks

Joshua Morin

They have the absolute best martinis in Keene. Great atmosphere, wonderful service, and great pricing.

Mike Fuschi

Great pours and happy hr.. And staff to boot!

Todd Jackson

One of the best bars in town. Always friendly service and not packed full of obnoxious college kids.

luke shotton

Hate it

Scott Zufall

Above average pub fare and super friendly staff. Deck is dog friendly, but a bit cramped. Good beer selection. Kids loved the chicken strips and the pulled pork sandwich was awesome!!!

Trey Cail

Stopped here on a rainy night for some beers and dinner. It was a Monday and they do Happy Hour all day. Food was good but nothing to write home about. Nice staff but bathroom was on the small side.

Igor M

Love this place. Nice and cozy with 2 happy hours. One starts from 4 - 6 and other from 10 - 2 am. Food and drinks are super cheap. Food special is $2 - $6 dollars and rotating draft is $4.

Ian Michaels

Brunch is always great. It gets a bit too crowded on Friday and Saturday night for my taste, but it's in my regular rotation of Keene bars. Thumbs up!

northmainewoods1

Love it

Kelsey Page

Good drinks, great apps. Chicken wrapped in bacon, that's all that needs to be said....

Brian Priest

Awesome martinis

Emily Russman

Environment may feel cramped for some but i find it cozy. Huge variety of drinks for every taste, plus great food. Wish they had more vegetarian options. Brunch here is excellent.

Christopher Spath

Two

Richie J

5 star food and the service at the bar is pretty decent.

Kate Derwin

Great place for a cocktail!

Heather Camp

Burger was good but expensive. Bartenders not able to make common drink requests.

Dman

Keene's cocktail bar is always a festive place especially on the weekends. Rather loud and jovial, so if your looking for a quite place you might want to skip. Great mixed drinks an a few beers on tap to keep everyone happy. Waitstaff is attentive and pleasant.

Crystal Pringle

It was a Sunday night but the food was great, the drinks were strong, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the music was variable. We had a great time and plan to return.

Perry Lowe

Cozy little bar with a little extra on the menu.

James Rogers

21 has very good food. However they claim to serve late night food. Their website advertises that. I went at 9:15 pm and was told the kitchen stops at 9 pm. That is NOT late night food! Want ppl to stay and drink more of your expensive beer?? Then serve food of some sort always when open. My 2 beers were $7 each. $5 everywhere else around. I went for the food. Very noisy also. Would have been good if there was food! The beer tasted great. Would have been better with food! You have very good so serve it always when open.

Jack Bouley

Awesome martinis and good food, especially their happy hour spatter specials. A little small and loud, but outside patio helps.

Stephanie Greene

Great food service a little slow

Kristen Jussila

Chill and classy atmosphere. The bar itself is small, so expect to shout conversations on busy nights.

Jeff Giles

Great drinks and tasty, affordable food. It can get kind of noisy during peak hours, but that’s par for the course with a bar, and this one is nicer than most.

Michele Rathburn

Great Martinis

Misty Watson

A must try for martini lovers, the Espresso Martini! Yuuummmmm
