About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Lively
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    Reservations were at 11. They didn’t open the doors until 11. Sat us in the front in a completely empty restaurant next to the front door and by the hostess stand. Every time someone walked in we had people standing in our space and a gust of hot air blows in. They wouldn’t move us - even with multiple empty 6 tops. Service and food were good

    Great time with our party of 6. Food was great, start with a bunch of small plates as all were tasty. Our server Summer was the star of the evening taking good care of our food and drinks with a prune positive attitude. When asked about what to do around Charleston after dinner, she provided us a list of options that were spot on. A must do again when back in Charleston!
