About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
Prohibition Columbia opened in the spring of 2024 and is brought to you by the same team behind Prohibition Charleston, which opened in 2014, and Repeal 33 in historic Savannah, Georgia. While many of the food and drink items can be found at all three locations, special considerations have been made to tailor a unique experience in each city.

As part of the ever-growing Main Street District, Prohibition brings innovative cocktails, eclectic cuisine, and live music to the heart of Soda City.

    I don't normally leave bad reviews but we tried to speak to management with no luck. First off our server whose first day it was, did her absolute best with the tools given to her. The food: mediocre at best. Deviled eggs basic way over salted , anchovies on toast basic, garlic shrimp some shrimp and garlic no seasoning. Bone marrow first said they were out then they weren't and sent a chard bone with no marrow all melted out. When I say charred it was black. We reserved a table with a note on open table that it was a special birthday my mom's 80th we ask for dessert and champagne. A man comes out with a dessert no candle and says here and basically throws the slice of cheesecake in front of my husband ... we were like wow dude and he was like what with a nasty attitude. Then He goes and says something to the kitchen where cooks proceed to come out of the kitchen to the FOH and start mean mugging us. It was so bizarre we couldn't wait to get out of the place. This awful experience for the above food and cocktails cost us over $400 The poor server was mortified . Owners need to get the management in check and make sure their team is being trained properly. The kitchen guys coming out of the kitchen to stare us down was just insane. And the have a sewage issue which you will smell the moment you enter .

    Ok wings and garlic shrimp, but truffle mac lacks flavor and depth. Good drinks. Nice venue. A mixed experience overall.

    I was really looking forward to returning for the bone marrow, but my second experience was disappointing. The dish arrived cold, and even after I sent it back, it still came back cold. Additionally, it took quite a while for the waitress to check on us. I noticed she was talking and didn’t seem to prioritize our table. When I mentioned that the marrow was cold, she made a face that suggested she might think it was supposed to be that way.

    Great experience. Our server Kierra was helpful with menu suggestions. We shared the crispy Brussels, pork belly sliders, charred wings, and crab roll. I would recommend all of those items. Spicy marg was perfect. Old fashioned was below average.
