About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Lively
It's true that Prohibition is a nod to the classic 1920's Speakeasy, but our elevated cuisine and progressive cocktail program are anything but old-fashioned. At Prohibition you can expect the culinary delights of Executive Chef Greg Garrison to leave you completely Jazzed, from savory local seafood to the finest cuts of meat, each dish is prepared with perfection. Kick back in our relaxing surroundings and sample the Mixology Expertise of our award winning Bar Team, led by Jim Mc Court. Our professional and passionate team are constantly striving to push the boundaries of excellence with cocktails like the 547 Manhattan and our signature Bacon Maple Old Fashioned to name but a few. Our extensive and imaginative beer, wine and liquor selection insures we can cater to all tastes.

    We shared the Brussels sprouts, steamed mussels and the tostado. All were amazing! We sat outside in the back courtyard-what a hidden treasure!

    We were recommended to go here. Our server, Woogie, was wonderful and recommended a couple of things that were spot on. The Gnoochi in the brown butter was phenomenal.

    Great! Good food, great service would go again. We had the deviled eggs and brussel sprouts as starters. For main courses friend had stuffed French toast, husband had the chopped sandwich and I had the shrimp and grits and we were all very happy with our meals.

    The food was decent, but not worth the price. The flavors were pretty standard. The staff was kind and the ambiance was nice, but the price paid for the amount of food, we wouldn’t go again.

    Unfortunately they were out of a few of the menu items, which of course we had our eye on before booking, must good choices. Bar type atmosphere so little loud. But overall friendly and attentive service.
