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 were here for my fiancé’s 29th birthday and we came with a large party. They did their best to accommodate us given the space available, and the food was great!!!!

    Food was good not exceptional, ambiance was plesant bar-esk and Jenn our server was great. I would not consider this a restaurant for super dinner entres, rather a nice whiskey type bar that serves mostly tapas. It's a high "3" to 4 rating. Nothing really negative, but do some homework so you know what to expect. Oh, pretty danged loud as it's a large space with a high ceiling and seems everything echos. I would go back.

    We tried a variety of menu items and they were all delicious! Jennifer was our server and she was fantastic. She offered good recommendations and was very personable. We tried the grilled octopus, the truffle Mac and cheese, the bone marrow, street corn. Among other dishes. Every thing was great!

    Food was good, service was just OK and they were out of so many items it would have been nice to let us know so we could cancel.

    I have gone to Prohibition in Charleston and really liked it. Not the same experience in Columbia. The restaurant felt dirty. 3 of the meals my friend tried to order were out. Ordered a couple little things like ketchup and coffee - they never came back with them. The waitress ended up talking to another table for 10 minutes so while my friend had her food I had nothing for that entire time. I ended up having to get up to tell the waitress it seemed like a very long time for my food. Finally got it and it was just ok. The kicker was when we said we didn’t want boxes for leftovers because we were driving back to Charleston she said “All of that for you not to like the food?” All of what?? All of the meals we tried to order were out so we ordered what was left basically. Just not a good experience.

    Great experience. The hangar steak was probably the best steak I’ve ever had in a restaurant. The staff was cordial and the atmosphere was great.

    This was our first time eating here. The location is great with plenty of parking. The restaurant is perfect with a romantic atmosphere. Low lighting and candles on the table. The food was delicious and the prices are perfect.
