Prohibition

This is my favorite bar in New York. INCREDIBLE cocktail menu!! My favorite drink is the Bearcat. But also the Frozen Cosmo. Sooooo good!!

We also had dinner. Great menu selections, and so much flavor.

They had music, which was a fun vibe to hang out to.

The staff were terrific. Special shout-out to Ryan, our fun server who took incredible care of us.

We put in a special request with our reservation, which was granted and re-confirmed before we sat down. Loved the care that was provided to our group!

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR A PRIVATE EVENT!

We had to switch our daughter's one-year-old birthday party and baby naming ceremony indoors at truly the last minute due to bad weather. Michael, the owner, got back to my email within minutes. From then on, he was responsive, involved, reassuring, helpful, creative...and super funny, too! Kayly was also incredible at every turn (including always checking up on me and bringing me coffee during the event...thanks, Kayly)!

Michael was able to help us create a brunch/lunch buffet that pleased both the kids and adults attending. There were also amazing cookies for dessert. Everyone raved about the food. Even more raved about were the drinks...quickly and expertly made by the friendly and involved bartending staff! Along with the bar selection, there was wonderful soda, tea, and coffee, including lattes, which was appreciated!

The area looked incredible on its own but with decorations we brought in, it was perfect. There was ample space for all guests to sit and eat, and lots of room for the kids to roam and do the little crafts we set up. The music was on theme and enhanced the vibes. The staff even let us hang around after the event to watch a basketball game with family while the kids kept playing, which was a blast for all and much appreciated.

Also, having the stage and microphone set up and ready to go made it so easy to have the baby naming ceremony and speeches so everyone could hear well. We didn't have that for our first daughter's ceremony and it made a huge difference on a special day.

Don't hesitate to book an event here. We keep hearing from everyone who came that it was so much fun and so special! The place really made the day easy to plan and the staff's helpful, cheerful, lovely personalities shone through all day long. Michael is the best to work with and you can tell how much he cares and wants to give you a fair price while still dazzling guests. We'll certainly be back again ASAP!

We came during happy hour only to leave upset that we didn't get a happy hour menu. The egg roll starter was super tiny and $15. Then the burrata was $20 and only came with two pieces of bread. We got charged another $5 for extra toasted bread.

I can see why this place is called prohibition. I plan to live up to its name and not come back. I should've skipped going there to begin with. There are way too many other places around with true happy hours.

Went here for the music on Saturday. Great band.

Very crowded, but that's because it's a fun place with a good band and fun vibe. We sat at bar seats for first half hour and ordered our wine and beer. Just before band starts, they move the bar seats. So ok, we stand for the rest.

Fun music made all worthwhile!

Definitely a great vibe! Everyone was so nice and friendly and the live band was great! The band had excellent energy and the whole room was dancing! I would absolutely go back!

Came here on a Saturday night for the bar part so can't comment on the food. There's a $10 cover charge that you can pay by card. They had live music with a band. There are hooks under the bar you can hang your coat. Nice for a casual night out.

Nice vibes, definitely an older crowd for sure though.

Found this place on Yelp and came here for drinks with the boys. Had an amazing time. The bartender Jess was very welcoming and friendly. She made really good recommendations and great cocktails. The speakeasy in the back is the place to be!

Manager was very friendly, resolved my issue expeditiously. Excellent spot for live music and drinks!

We went to Prohibition for the first time last night to see a band we like. We made a reservation for 9 so we could eat and have a few drinks before the band went on at 10. We were seated at a high top with a great view of the stage so couldn't be happier there.

We started with the cheese steak egg rolls, the tuna poke bites and the bacon dish. All were great. Loved that the egg roll was not greasy and the filling was well seasoned. The poke came on delicious crisps that stayed crunchy until you put them in your mouth. The bacon is a memorable dish, not only is the bacon perfectly cooked, crisp on the outside with just the right chew, but the mustard sauce is the perfect complement, would give the restaurant 5 stars for this dish alone!

The drink list has so much to choose from, that we kept ordering different things and were o. Our third round and eating our entrees when the band went on. I had the pork shank which is incredible, crisp skin on the outside with tender meat throughout. The gravy underneath the perfect dip for every bite.

I think special mention is warranted about hospitality and the details that the team at Prohibition looks after. David, the manager checked in with us after each round to ensure we were enjoying things. The staff also made sure that the crowd at the bar did not stand in the way of the tables to block our view of the show.

If you like live music, good cocktails and good food I can't recommend this place more highly!!! And oh yeah, don't sleep on the chocolate cake either, a sweet end to a great evening!

I've been hearing that this place has some good cocktails so I wanted to give it a try. They were closed for a whole during the pandemic but had opened again a few months ago. It's a pretty spacious spot and they do a good job with their uniforms to make it seem like you are eating/dining/drinking during the prohibition era.

A few of us had arrived promptly at 4:30 pm, right when they opened. There was no one else in the restaurant. There are a few bar style tables (taller than the average in the restaurant) right when you walk in to the right. We asked the gentleman helping us if we could have the las table by the wall. He responded that he normally has a regular come in that loves to sit there. Okay. We took the middle table then, although he seemed he really wanted us to sit at the table right next to the door. We ordered some bearcat cocktails, along with some small bites. The cocktails were super tasty. The food was good, too.

We had some more people joined our party and we began to run out of room at our table. One friend was sitting on the end of the table and this seemed to irk the same gentleman that didn't want us to sit at the last table near the wall. Oh, and it's been almost 2 hours now and his "regular" was not sitting there. Why not let us have the table then? He continuously told my friend that he needs to move his chair out of the way. He kindly responded that he would when people are sat at the tables near us. No one was ever sat at the smaller tables so we didn't move the chair. This guy really looked annoyed now. For what reason? We were eating, drinking and spending money? I wish he would have chilled out more. You could feel his annoyance emanating into the air.

Overall this place is good, but perhaps expect to get a glare if you try and pick the "wrong" table to sit at. I do want to give this place another try. Everyone else was very nice. Maybe he was having a bad day. Oh, and thank you to the woman who would constantly fill up our water. Her service, along with our server, was amazing.
