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.

    I ordered the chilaquiles and was told the sauce had chicken stock. I asked for no sauce and chopped tomato instead. I was charged $2 for the tomatoes... Seems a little absurd to charge for a very small substitution especially when there was only 1 egg on the plate.

    Extremely loud environment and most of the food is top size which is not stated on the menu. Overall, a disappointing experience.

    We had a terrific experience. We ate outside in a very pleasant atmosphere. The service was wonderful and we all chose tapas meals and shared. Each of our choices were excellent, in particular I would note the roasted oysters and the charred wings. We had many different restaurant options for dinner, we made the right one with Prohibition and we’ll be back.

    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.
