21 Commerce is one of the places I frequented quite often over a year ago. Good drinks, nice atmosphere and good specials made this place a great place for social events as well as entertaining clients. I recently went back to find that there had been a recent management change and many of the specials, (Industry Night) that the otherwise average martini bar execptional, had been discontinued. The change in management is evident from street side at 10pm. The line that wrapped around the building that was signature for Thursday nights is now non-existent. The Loft, while having plenty of overwhelmingly loud music, was empty. The new management should take notice of this as the atmosphere is nice, the loud music no longer has drink specials to make this place an ideal choice over neighboring upscale bars (The Blue Olive being the most notable). To avoid the loud music of the Loft I will gladly drive an extra 30 seconds to get to The Blue Olive now there are no drink specials to entice my business.
Pros: Close Parking, Nice Atmosphere
Cons: Recent Management Change, Bass from the Loft.
