★★★★★ 5.0 Todd Steinhoff · Feb 2026

If you’re looking for a spot with a great atmosphere and even better food, this is it. We started with the arancini (wonderful!) and moved on to the wood-fired pizza, which was authentic and cooked perfectly. The live music adds a great touch to the fun vibe. Don't skip the cocktail menu—everything we tried was delicious!

★★★★★ 5.0 Madeleine D · Feb 2026

Came in alone while traveling and sat at the bar. I got there at their busiest time so it was a few minutes before I got a menu, but the service was very good. had a delightful cocktail (Jen's Jam) and a delicious pizza (holy crap, their crust!) There was live music, which was a nice bonus. Overall I really liked it!

★★★★★ 5.0 William Todd · Oct 2025

Exceptional beer variety and craft cocktails. Sumptuous dishes and a friendly and energetic staff. Outdoor dining and an airy interior with seating at the bar. Music at times. Now open on Tuesdays with a Prime Rib dinner special. See photo for teaser.

★★★★★ 5.0 Rafael Magura · Dec 2024

The service at The 421 Craft Bar & Kitchen was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and helpful. My spouse, brother-in-law, and I sat at the bar, and the bartender did a fantastic job ensuring we were well taken care of throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious, making the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Tara Schatz · Dec 2025

We go here a lot since it's within walking distance of our house, and the food and service are always on point. Even on nights when we walk over for drinks, we enjoy their massive beer selection (and I can never resist the fries). My only complaint is the noise. The acoustics are hard to handle, and when it's busy, it's like we're eating in a middle school cafeteria. We've tried to go to some of the live music events as well, and we can never hear the musicians - just a lot of noise. I hope they will consider some noise-absorbing panels on the ceiling to help with the crazy acoustics.
