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.

    The music version was very cool, along with the decor, Edison lights, menu, etc. Service was very good and menu offered many cool items to try.

    My son and I dined for brunch. The waitstaff were awesome and made us feel very special. The space was so unique, and the menu all looked great. He had the PB&J French toast, and I think they have ruined him now for my normal French toast. I had the hanger steak. It was prepared very well and was tasty, but I think it would have gone better with something to make it seem more "brunch-worthy. All in all, one of the best brunch experiences we have had downtown. We will be back!! The space looked like it would be tons of fun for live music and maybe if their brunch get busier they would consider a little Sunday brunch music!!

    We had a great dinner of small plate and a few drinks. Open table made reservations easy and our table was ready just when we arrived. Service was great and the food came out just as the conversation slowed down.

    Everything was enjoyable, as expected, except for the volume being so loud. My wife and I were on a date, seated on the balcony and could barely hear each other speaking. The sports games showing on the bar TV's felt a little mismatched with the projected ambiance and may have encouraged the crowd volume. Also, the lighting upstairs is very dim. We used our phones to read the menu and noticed several other guests doing the same. All of this considered, we would probably return for a couple of quick drinks but choose somewhere else for dinner.

    Reallly nice experience! Waiter greeted us at table before we even got our coats off! Was so attentive and very skilled. Deviled eggs, mushroom toast, crab roll, steak frites were all delicious...our whole party enjoyed their meals.
