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 Named after the Constitutional Amendment that enacted Prohibition and then subsequent Amendment that repealed it, 18th & 21st promises to bring back a bygone era through an elevated, tailored evening experience.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.

    Jordan was and is an amazing server. I’ve been there twice and each time Jordan was my server. I can say without doubt that he is one of the best servers I’ve ever experienced. Good for The Collective Offshore for an excellent hire.

    I don’t even know where to begin with how perfect this place was. I was looking for a nice relaxing Sat night meal with great music and this hit the spot! Musicians were phenominal, food was top, service was amazing, and cocktails were on point. I would definitely come here for a nice date night!! I wish I had an option to sit in the booth or a table to see the musicians but as my first time here, I didn’t know what to expect. What. A. Place.
