Overview
When you turn 18, you cross several important milestones--from gaining the ability to vote to being legally recognized as an adult. Upon turning 21, you cross another milestone: you are able legally to consume alcohol. Good bar gifts for 21-year-olds acknowledge and commemorate this occasion.
Stemware
Purchase a set of stemware for the newly of age adult along with the corresponding beverage. Margarita glasses, shot glasses, beer steins and even regular wine glasses are good options. The set doesn't need to be pure crystal. Instead opt for a glass set that is reasonably priced. That way, if the young adult breaks a glass, they can afford to replace it.
Beer Gifts
Many guys will appreciate getting gifts that involve beer, in some fashion. A straight-forward gift of 6 bottles of their favorite beer is a great start. Also, a personalized beer bottle opener, engraved with their initials is a great keepsake that can be used for years to come. However, for those 21-year olds who have a sustainable/organic side to them might appreciate a beer brewing kit, which would allow them to brew their own batch of beer at home. RedEnvelope's Mr. Home Brewing Kit is a great gift to get a future beer brewer on his way to making great suds.

Wine Sampling Basket
Purchase one each of several different mini wine bottles with some of the most popular types such as cabernet sauvignon, merlot, shiraz, chardonnay and sauvignon blanc, among others. Place the the mini bottles in a basket. Alternatively, choose one variety, such as pinot grigio, and find samples from as many different countries as possible. Add chocolates and/or cheeses if desired.
Handheld Wine Aerator
A handheld wine aerator, like the Vinturi Wine Aerator available from RedEnvelope, makes wines taste smoother and functions like a wine decanter without the large size. Wine is simply poured through the aerator and flows directly into the waiting wine glass beneath the aerator. Pair this gift up with a bottle of wine so that the recipient can immediately begin to enjoy their new item.
