21st Amendment has a lot going for it: Â it's interior features plenty of really beautiful dark wood, the front is entirely open, the bar itself is impressive in its scale and simplicity, and the massive ceiling fan (what looks to be the motor off a small propeller plane retrofitted with eight-foot-long fan blades) is mesmerizing.
That being said, I did not take much of liking to 21st Amendment. The drinks are slightly more expensive than some other, more student-friendly bars on Dickson. It doesn't have a great selection of beers: Â it has most the beers you'd expect at any bar, and even basement-price brews like Budweiser will cost you $3 per bottle. The clientele reflects (and surely must influence) this reality. There were way too many ripped dudes in bursting-at-the-seams v-neck t-shirts strutting around. Everyone seemed at least in their late 20s and willing to spend some extra dollars to avoid a sort of mangier, frugal clientele such as my four friends and I. One of those ripped clients decided to sucker punch some older man at the bar, bringing him soundly down to the floor with a solid thud (recall the beautiful dark and apparently quite hard wood mentioned earlier). This was quite the scandal. Maybe they should require proof of stable testosterone levels in addition to a valid state-issued photo ID? We could make it the 28th Amendment, revising the 21st.
The bar does have a kind of sophisticated vibe (to use Cathy Y's observation). Too bad the clientele doesn't. Sorry to harp on the people so much here but, hey, the kind of people you stand around with are a big part of going to a bar. I doubt I'll go back.
This is a unique bar with a great atmosphere. Â I hung-out with some friends to kill time before going to a show.
The atmosphere is like a man cave. Â There's wood paneling on one side with a distressed brick wall on the other. Â There's some framed pictures from the 1920's, TVs and one HUGE ceiling fan. Â You can see the pics showing the shelves of bottles behind the bar. Â There's several bar tables/chairs around the front end along with a couple leather sofas and chairs along the walls.
We arrived before the crowd and left as the place was filling up. Â It's a cool place to hang out. Â We sat at the leather sofa/char area. Â I only wish I had a cigar with me at the time.
Forgive me, I failed to notice the beer selection. Â Once we walked in, I was definitely in a mood for liquor. Â We had several beverages and the tab was nowhere near as high as we were expecting.
If I'm hanging out in Fayetteville for an evening, this bar is definitely at the top of my list.
I don't care for 21st Amendment. We came in for my birthday, and I've been back a few times since. I think the drinks are overpriced, and not as well made as other cocktails I've had around town.
I think the open front idea is cool though, and it makes it REALLY easy to tell if there are lots of people having fun there (or to find your friends if they've wandered in).
I love the vibe in this bar. It is chill and sophisticated....Leather couches, dark lighting and an open patio (for the summer/spring/fall). There are 2 things that you definitely need to check out: The Big Ass Fan and, for guys, the urinal in the men's bathroom. Unfortunately, there's nothing special in the women's bathroom.
I'm not much of a drinker, but I enjoy hanging out here with friends. I've never had any issues with the service, even though I'm not their typical drinking customer. I've seen a bartender mix a special drink that tasted like Dr. Pepper for my friend. I've gotten water with no problem. The bartenders have given me free cokes and even coke + grenadine with a cherry!
One of my favorite amendments, the 21st Amendment is America's response to stupid liberal and progressive ideals with conservative roots.
Celebrate booze at 21st Amendment on Dickson St. It's got this giant fan that takes up practically the entire ceiling and a nice loungy atmosphere.
The entire front of the place is open, so it feels inviting.
I did have some trouble getting service at the bar, but perhaps that was just because I'm Asian. My blond, bombshell of a girlfriend had no trouble getting service.
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Directly behind it is another bar, a pool hall. It's kind of the riffraffs versus the college jocks.
