    We had a wonderful night, it was our first time there and our waitress Rebecca was patient and lovely and the whole experience was great. We will definitely be back and will be recommending this to our friends and family who have never been before.

    The ambience is like an elegant pub vibe and I’ve been to Prohibition house a few times now. Drew was our server and had us laughing all night. I got the pasta which was nothing extraordinary but my 2 friends got the burger which they said was the best burger in Ottawa (also the fries are maple bacon flavour unlike anything I’ve tried!!) Charcuterie has always been my fave! Would definitely recommend Prohibition House:)

    Fantastic experience for my first visit to Prohibition Public House. Cool vibe, excellent and attentive service, delicious cocktails, locally sourced ingredients - overall everything was excellent. It may have been my first visit but it certainly won’t be my last.

    We love the pork belly, sausage, cheese, especially the blueberry jelly with a yogurt-like texture, not sweet, just keeps the natural flavour of blueberry, a little surprise!
