Editorial Review for 21st Amendment – by James Wevley
The Scene
A large semicircular bar dominates the front space of this restaurant. Behind it, a seating area featuring wooden booths, high ceilings and an open kitchen creates a warm, somewhat loud dining room. The crowd is a mix of sports fans glued to the television monitors above the bar and SOMA professionals gathering for an after-work bite or drink. Service is kind and orders are quickly processed.
The Food
Standard sports-bar fare (chicken wings, burgers and pizza) takes a back seat to more upscale American favorites, such as grilled Niman Ranch pork chops, seasonal veggies and whipped potatoes. The New York steak, served with red-wine butter and sweet potato straws, is a tender morsel made-to-order. Pasta dishes fulfill expectations for standard Italian fare, while the house pizza--its crust made from beer mash after the brewing process--exceeds them. A gooey chocolate brownie with ice cream or silky cheesecake are indulgent finishes.

Wow. Went to 21st last night with co-workers to celebrate some recent success. We arrived just before the "Happy Hour" deals ended at 5:30pm. We ordered wings, calamari, fries and a couple of pizza- all were tasty. We sat upstairs for a bit more room and privacy. A game was on tv and the atmorspher was fun. Warning: I had a couple of IPA's and boy, do they provide a whallop the next morning.

Hosted a company happy hour upstairs last night and had a great time there. Plenty of flat panels around to watch the game, $3 appetizers and $3 pints. The IPA and Watermelon Wheat were very popular. The staff was attentive and helpful. Be careful, the brewpub beers sneak up on you a bit (both at the time and the next morning).
Pros: Great beer selection and happy hour appetizer menu
