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.

    Nothing like the pictures presented on this website. Limited menu. I ordered an Espresso martini and it was delivered in a tiny plastic champagne cup. If that wasn’t bad enough, it cost $14! We left after the appetizer. If you want a bar atmosphere, it would probably be fun. We went expecting a nice dinner based on the provided images.

    We made a meal out of four different AMAZING appetizers. Each one was very unique and outrageously delicious. Our cocktails were quite delicious as well. Will definitely be back!

    We had a wonderful time for brunch at Prohibition. We went on a girls trip and sat outside on the patio on a beautiful Sunday morning. The food was very good and the service was spectacular. Would definitely recom!
