“ Brilliant cocktails to start, I reckon they represent a balanced view of southern comfort and not overly rich - had the amazing smoked wings, Brussels and tartare - everything was great ”
“ The decor is pretty cool, definitely gives you the 20-30's feel. Large bar, plenty of seating. We did not have a reservation for Sunday brunch, but they were able to seat us up front in one of the waiting areas, which actually ended up being pretty cool. My uncle recommended this place, his band plays here from time to time can we very much enjoyed ourselves. The food was outstanding, and the service was Top Notch! Highly recommend this place! ”
“ Really enjoyed dinner here. I had the steak frites, and it was good. The one thing I would call out as disappointing was the cost of some of the liquors. I get that the restaurant looks at drinks as a place to make profits BUT to charge 85 for a 2 oz of Clase Azul tequila is ridiculous when a bottle costs 168. ”
“ Great interior feel, classic and refined, but comfortable and casual! Great staff and Addie made incredible recommendations! Very, very tasty food! OMG!! The tomato bread, warm salad and Steak Frits (hangar steak) were ALL amazing!! ”
“ The BEST chicken sandwich i have ever had!!!!! OMG!!!! It was delicious. Simple yet juicy and full of flavor and the drinks were made ro perfection!!!! ”
“ Stopped in while waiting to check into our hotel. They were inbetween brunch and dinner, so we grabbed a couple of beers and the charred wings with carrot hot sauce and gorgonzola ranch, and sat by the window. ”
“ Loved my experience here. No seating available when we walked in at 630, but the lounge was comfortable and decorated for Valentines. ”
“ This place is SO good! We went here for Easter brunch and it did not disappoint:) highly recommend the smash burger and the Brussel sprouts! ”

Prohibition Columbia
Introducing Prohibition Columbia, the latest culinary gem nestled in the heart of Columbia, South Carolina. Located at 1556 Main St Suite 100, this vibrant establishment brings a beautifully curated experience that reflects the charm and sophistication of the 1920s.
From the moment you step inside, you are enveloped in a warm, inviting atmosphere with decor that evokes the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. The space features a large bar and ample seating, perfect for both intimate gatherings and lively brunches. The ambiance sets the stage for a memorable dining experience that feels both classic and modernly chic.
The menu at Prohibition Columbia showcases a hearty blend of flavors, carefully crafted to honor Southern cuisine while offering surprises at every turn. I was particularly enchanted by the remarkable smoked wings, which stand out for their perfect balance of smoky depth and satisfying crunch. Additionally, the Brussels sprouts and tartare are worthy companions, completing a well-rounded meal that joyfully dances on the palate.
Let’s not overlook the cocktails—the true stars of the show. Patrons rave about the variety they offer; each drink is a testament to balance and creativity, ensuring a delightful start to any meal. As one customer aptly put it, the cocktails encapsulate a “balanced view of southern comfort," ensuring that indulgence doesn’t come at the cost of subtlety.
Service, too, is of paramount importance here. Guests have highlighted the attentive and knowledgeable staff, who are eager to offer stellar recommendations. For instance, Addie's suggestions on food pairings elevate the dining experience, enhancing the flavors already present in each dish.
However, it’s essential to note that some diners expressed concerns about drink pricing, particularly regarding premium liquors. While the ambiance and quality suggest a certain premium, it’s an aspect to consider for budget-conscious diners.
All in all, Prohibition Columbia is a must-visit destination that beautifully merges history with gastronomic delight. Whether you’re indulging in the BEST chicken sandwich around, as described by a thrilled patron, or sipping on expertly crafted cocktails, every moment spent here is bound to be memorable.
