About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for happy hour
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.

    The food menu is quite small, and there doesn’t appear to be a consistent theme. The dishes, eg sardine appetizer, chicken wings, a shrimp fried rice entrée, seem random.

    Our food and beverage was good. Service was good. In downtown Charleston I Would expect to see more put into preparation with a sear and properly cooked to temperature filet. Side items were good.
