18th & 21st brings something fresh and classic to Columbia, Maryland. Named after the Constitutional Amendment that enacted Prohibition and then subsequent Amendment that repealed it, 18th & 21st promises to bring back a bygone era through an elevated, tailored evening experience. Our food and cocktails reflect the feel of prohibition supper clubs. This not to say we're stuck in the past, but rather that we try and emulate the style of that era. That means beautiful presentation, careful crafting, and perfect pairings to keep your night on beat. Combined with live music, this creates an unparalleled experience for the discerning and adventurous looking for a sophisticated evening. Due to the nature of the experience at 18th & 21st we request that all diners be over the age of eighteen.

We had a reservation so we were seated quickly. Our server came right over and took our drink orders. The BlackBerry Sangria was amazing! The bread was delicious and the salad was ok(not a fan of vinegrette). Our steak was prepared as each of us requested. It was delicious! The special sauce was very tasty! Much to our surprise they came around with another round of steak and fries (which my mom and I boxed up as we were full). I highly recommend Medium Rare if you enjoy steak in a nice atmosphere!

The service was excellent and very attentive. The food was great but the portion isn’t very large for the price however the quality and taste were incredible. The crafted drinks tasted great. And most of all the music was amazing and set the best ambiance. This is a great date place.
