So half of the menu is now gone, you can get 8 dollar "tapas" (mini apps) Â and a few sandwiches . Â Not a place to eat anymore. Â Still great spot for martinis and highly suggest if all you want is a drink .
Sad at the entrees being gone they were great , and most of the apps are also gone.
Went for Sunday brunch. The food was really good, but the service was so horrible I couldnt give more than one star.
First, food/drinks-
They have a small brunch menu, but in my opinion that is better because they just do everything really well. I got the corned beef hash with eggs. The hash was fresh hash, not out of a can, so much of a bonus! The eggs were cooked well, the portion was more than generous. Other people I ate with got french toast, eggs benedict and the breakfast pizza, all seemed great, with equally good portions.
The drinks were good as well, once you got them.
Service-
Why did it take over an hour to get our food? That is just unacceptable. And the waitress never came over and apologized or anything. We would order a drink, and she would forget about it, and when she came back (20 minutes later) we would have to remind her again.
I dont care how good your food is, if it takes an hour to get eggs, thats a problem!
It's small but can provide a great night. Be wary that it can get packed and seating can be a pain in that thing you sit on. It's hit or miss with the bartender. If you are looking for a more mature setting (or if you are just sick of Cobble/Lab), this is the obvious third or first choice (depending on your decision making).
Review Source:The bartenders here cannot make a Manhattan to save their lives. Twice I went and ordered the simple drink and was rewarded with a sugary slur that tasted like sin. my blind grandmother could mix a Manhattan better.
Overall, this place seems to believe that the only good martini is loaded with sugar or syrup or dyed pink or blue or whatever the think it takes to trick people into ordering it. Common drink names included "Panty Dropper", "The Stripper", "Bikini-tini" and other such drivel.
Eek! Methinks not. Â The sad thing is I used to love this place. Â A few years back while going to school in keene I used to go there almost exclusivly. Â Now they have different bar tenders a different(worse)menu and the magic is just sadly gone, with I'm told "no hope" of revival. Â
Flip side is if you wanted to drink $12 martinis alone in the dark where even the waitress would ignore you than this is you place.
Sorry Dave the killer is still killer though
My husband and I just love this place. Â There are several vegetarian friendly items in their menu and they're always delicious. Â The food takes a little while to get to the table but it's okay because chances are you'll be having a drink and conversation plus it's worth the wait. Â There's people of all ages which, as an older woman, I appreciate since I do feel a tad uncomfortable (okay... Â A lot) when there's nothing but college kids around.
Review Source:Not too bad of a wait considering it was Saturday night of Pumpkin Festival. Â
While on line, the fireworks started going off and we had a perfect view from the adjacent parking lot. The boys and I went here to watch the Yankees game during the party weekend (actually, my first priority was that I was hungry and looking to drink.) Â We sat at the bar off to the side and had a really helpful blonde waitress take our orders. Â She was on point with the drinks, even if she forgot our app for awhile. Â
I had the special Pumpkin Martini, it was spicy, murky orange and perfect for a fall night. Â Also, ordered the sangria after hearing a table full of girls getting refills and watching the drinks being made at the bar. Â It was dark red, no chunks of fruit but delicious and went down like juice. Â I heard later the next day that is one of their specialities. Â My BF enjoyed their Spinach Articoke Dip and said it was one of his All Time Top 3 Spinach Artichoke Dips. Â It was outrageously garlicky and I thought needed much more spinach. Â I tried the Pumpkin Cheesecake for dessert, it was creamy and spicy. mmmm.
I was surprised to find this place in the small town of Keene. Â I actually felt transported while here to a larger city. Â There are hundreds of martinis here, with prices on par with NYC's. Â However, they are filled with high quality liquor. Â Specials are available sometimes. Â For food we just had the fried artichoke app, which was really wonderful. Â They even grilled the greens around it, which I love and ate right up.
Review Source:Twenty One is almost always on the ball. It is a martini bar that makes fantastic drinks. Moscow mule, pomegrante margarita, and a famous Espresso Martini.
Drinks can be a bit pricey for this area. Martinis range from about $8-$12. They have beer on tap and its $4 a pint - pretty standard.
Food is very good. The first time I went, I had a great penne dish with a cream sauce and pan seared scallops - it was great and the chef even came out to ask me how it was. I'll admit that none of the meals I've had there since have lived up to that dish but nonetheless, the food is great quality. Jamaican Jerk wrap is very good (chicken, beef, or portabella mmm), fries are great, appatizers are half off on Mondays from 4-6pm ( I think, along with $2 off martinis), and they have great specials that typically change every week.
My biggest bone to pick with 21 is the beer selection. They fill their taps up with easy to find beer and never change them. A better selection of beer and I'd give Twenty One 5stars. They have guiness, harpoon IPA, sierra nevada, and sometimes a shipyard, but the taps always stay the same. They should at least have 2 smuttynose beers, a better bottle selection, and just one or 2 taps of rotating US microbrews.
Overall: Great atmosphere, amazing bartenders, good service, fantastic mixed drink menu, usually good music (paul simon often), great location, entrees priced fairly. Just needs more beer!
Keene, and New Hampshire in general, is a bit of provincial backwater. I like it there - it's relaxing and pretty. It has that great small town New England charm...Keene in particular is more habitable than other towns because the residents have made an attempt at culture - there's some coffeeshops, bookstores, a brewery, various college related stuff...this could go on and on. At the end of the day, it's a small town in New Hampshire - and there's not much to do, particularly for the young professional.
So 21 is a godsend for them - it's not the dirty, crowded chaos of The Railroad or Kilkenney's or the depressing monument to alcoholism that is Penuche's - but an honest to goodness, chic little bar/restaurant that serves decent cocktails and good food, the kind of place you find in the cities. But in Keene.
Okay, I'm giving the 5 star rating to this bar because it exists in Keene, NH. Â Not LA, not Boston, not New York City. Â That being said, it's super clean, the bartenders are superior at mixing drinks, and they have great bar food. Â I hear that their brunch is pretty amazing, though I've never been. Â It does get a little pricey (this is Keene we're talking about, anything over $3 is pricey) but for the deliciousness of their drinks it's worth it.
Review Source:Keene's best bar. There, I've said it. This is the kind of place to meet with a group of friends or just one person to meet and talk over some delicious drinks. The atmosphere is cozy. My personal favorite spots to sit are in one of the two large window tables or out on the back patio when the weather is nice!
They specialize in martinis, and they have some great ones, if that's your thing. Their mixed drinks are great too. They make the best Midori Sour (my personal favorite drink ever) in town! I'm sad to say though that they no longer have my favorite beer on tap, Carlesberg. I'm dissapointed in that.
The music here is chill... They always play CDs, which can sometimes be a bummer if you know a CD by heart. I personally would recommend to the management to at least pop in a mix CD every once and awhile! We DO get tired of 12 tracks worth of Sublime. But people don't come here for the music, or to dance. They come to talk and have good drinks! And that's exactly what this place is good for.
