Amendment 21: Reviews & Ratings
It's a relief to have a place like this in Abilene. Great atmosphere, the bartenders hustle, and the crowd is young and lively. Wasn't expecting this. Great drinks, city prices.
This is a great bar for Abilene or any city. They make excellent prohibition-era drinks. The ambiance is great amd bartenders are knowledgeable about whiskey and cocktails in general. And they have a good selection of whisk(e)ys, bourbons and ryes. Damian gave the best, most interesting whiskey tasting I've ever had. Will definitely be back.
Very nice place. The atmosphere is very calm, the property is very clean and organized. The music volume is perfect, set as background entertainment. Customers are able to talk normal while enjoying the entertainment as well. The bartender was very respectful, helpful, and "knows his stuff" so to speak. Highly recommended.
Awesome place. Place got packed and my bartender still took the time to handcraft my whiskey smash (with mint) and 18th repeal (red color) perfectly. You can't rush perfection. My seasonal dark beer is a battle something (sorry) which was exactly what I wanted. Also, big plus Whiskey lovers ... You must stop here. ...
Cool vibe, great drinks!! If you are looking to hang with friends, this is a wonderful spot in Abilene. It may take time to get a drink. Yet it's worth it! The guys behind the bar are exceptional!
This whiskey bar was a nice discovery during a recent weekend trip to Abilene. Service was impeccable. The bartenders definitely know how to make some mean cocktails. For those that don’t like liquor, they also have beers on tap, which a majority of them are brewed in Texas. I will definitely go back to Amendment 21 when I visit Abilene.
Great find here. Happy hours drinks were absolutely wonderful and could not believe the pricing. Best value ever. Our bar tender was personable and attentive to everyone in the bar.
I’m a stickler for cocktail and whiskey bars. Let me tell you something, this place fits the bill. There’s no overload on the decorations. The setup in general is as it should be: simple. The mixologists are masters of their craft preparing excellent cocktails with cool personalities to match. You can tell they enjoy what they do. The Old Fashion is dangerously good.
