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.

    We had been hearing positive things from others about Prohibition and had to try it out ourselves. We shared several smaller plates. The Deviled Eggs, Fire Roasted Oysters, Pork Belly Street Tacos, and Grilled Octopus were all wonderful! My husband got the Grass Fed Short Rib Smash Burger and loved. Our friend got the Lobster Roll and loved it. Our server was so nice. I would definitely recommend Prohibition.

    Food & service were excellent. We ordered a variety of items & should have asked for a few at a time, as most came out at once. All were very good!

    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 .
