What Key Management dislikes about Lit 21:
We were charged $10 for parking, which later became free, but by then, parking spots were scarce for those arriving afterward. The DJ was fantastic, and the decor was striking! However, the wings and other fried items, though visually appealing, tasted like they were cooked in old grease. The ladies' restroom was small and uncomfortably warm, with a large fan blowing around the hot air. I truly sympathized with the a... View all feedback.

Nigel was an excellent host during our first visit to lit21. He provided fantastic recommendations for both food and drinks. Additionally, he arranged for us to have a wonderful table with a view of the river. The bartending staff were friendly and incredibly helpful as well. Overall, it was a great experience!
I absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere was fantastic. Jennifer, the bartender, was incredibly charming. She was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit.
The service was quite good. For food, I ordered wings and fries, while my friend and I shared a fishbowl drink with Bacardi. I can’t recall the name of the drink, so I apologize for that. They offer hookah as a separate service from the food and drinks, which made it a bit tricky to get one at first, but we received assistance from our server. Overall, I would definitely return to this place; it has such positive vibes. Another highlight is that they have a parking lot, making it convenient since I didn’t have to worry about finding parking—plus, it's free!
Lit 21 is a lovely establishment with a relaxing atmosphere that exudes charm and character. One minor suggestion to improve the patio area would be to add small candles or a net to help keep bugs and bees away.

Drinks: The cocktails were well-crafted, though I kept it straightforward with a ginger ale and Jack—always a reliable choice. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Lit 21. I’m looking forward to returning to try more of their menu, and I wouldn’t be surprised if my rating moves up to 4.5 stars next time. Stay tuned!

I visited this place for happy hour, and the drinks were excellent—reasonably priced with plenty of options. However, the wings weren't great; they didn’t taste freshly cooked. On the brighter side, I really enjoyed the decor and ambiance. I sat at the back bar where I could see the water and the buildings across the way, which gave off a lovely Miami vibe. I definitely plan to return with the girls for more drinks!
This place is definitely nice. The ambiance was a highlight. I requested to see the bottom floor, but unfortunately, the manager didn't allow it, which was disappointing, especially since I didn't reveal my identity. On a positive note, the security at the venue was impressive; they handled their responsibilities well. The two DJs were fantastic with their music selection. As for the food, I would rate it a solid 4 out of 5 stars. I hope to have the chance to see the bottom floor on my next visit!
I REALLY wanted to give them 5 stars I’ll give a 3 because the vibe was dope the food was awesome. However the drinks were good but WEAK AF! I had 4 shots of patron and 3 drinks and was NOT LIT 21 ???? ????. So I said ok the drinks are weak how aboutthe hookah and that was a no go! $35 each hookah and they don’t do refills you have to buy a new hookah for the same price!But you know what saved this review THE DJ!!!! He went TF IN and I truly appreciate that! over all a GREAT NIGHT! Especiallysince Ant was out bartender ??????
The views are breathtaking. I had a great time during happy hour, and the food was delicious. The drinks were generously sized and of high quality too. The restroom was fairly clean. However, I found the cleaning staff to be a bit too eager, and the music was quite loud—so be prepared to speak up if you want to have a conversation. On the plus side, the music selection was excellent. I will definitely be coming back. Just a quick note: happy hour ends at 7 PM!
I went to this restaurant with some coworkers for drinks and appetizers. The food was typical bar food, but the drinks were quite impressive. The atmosphere was wonderful, featuring the usual lounge or club vibe, complete with couches, a pool table, and a fantastic bar area. It’s a great place for socializing or watching sports events!
