Came here on a rainy November night to get a bite and enjoy some live music. Loved the warm, cozy ambiance and the earlier musician was great – Elliot Greer! Service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The lamb chops were excellent. Unfortunately they were out of mashed potatoes so we ordered the fries, which weren’t as hot as I like but the flavor was good. Had the burrata to start, which was excellent but I didn’t love the cold squash puree that came with it, I don’t really ever want to eat squash puree cold and I think there are better pairings or ways of cooking the squash that would have been better but the burrata part was lovely. They also had a mocktail selection which was nice, had the nonalcoholic Negroni, which was a treat. Overall a 5 star experience because the lamb chops, service, music, and ambiance were excellent.

Our wedding reception at Prohibition on 11/08/25 was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we began planning to the very last song of the night, the entire experience exceeded every expectation we had. The service, food, atmosphere, and live band were all phenomenal—truly a night we and are guests haven’t been able to stop talking about.
What made the experience truly unforgettable, though, were the people. Michael, Kayly, Natalie, and the ENTIRE Prohibition staff were exceptional in every sense of the word. Their professionalism and genuine care elevated our celebration far beyond anything we imagined. EVERY staff member was incredibly attentive—sweet to us, kind to our guests, and always one step ahead in making sure everyone felt welcomed and cared for. So many of our friends and family commented on how wonderful the staff was, and we couldn’t agree more.
Michael, Kayly, and Natalie were an absolute dream team. They played a huge role in the planning process—from helping us choose the perfect menu and desserts to offering thoughtful suggestions on timing and even helping with song choices. Their level of involvement and support made the entire experience not just smooth, but truly enjoyable. It felt like having a team of experts who cared as much about our day as we did. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without them.
If you’re looking for a venue that not only delivers top-tier food and entertainment, but is also staffed by the most AMAZING people who truly love what they do, Prohibition is the place. They helped give us the wedding celebration of our dreams, and we could not be more grateful. There are honestly no words to explain how outstanding this place and this staff is. We look forward to coming back and seeing all of them every year!

I would give this more than five stars if it was an option! We had a group of 12 of us from all over the United States, looking for a fun place to have dinner and drinks for our last night out together. Getting a reservation booked in the morning was so easy and they were so nice throughout that process.
Next, we were a few minutes late for our reservation because of delayed trains. Not only where we still seated, But we were welcomed with excitement and enthusiasm like they knew us already!
As if the greeting wasn’t warm enough, with only 15 minutes left to go in happy hour they sat us and took all of our orders and got everything out as fast as possible so we could fully get the most out of happy hour pricing.
Then, the live music began, and it was the perfect ambience! Everyone was so patient with our large group, made it so easy for us to figure out the bill and invited us to come back next time we are all together.
Some of the tastiest and smoothest drinks, with the coolest names and presentation. Definitely get the salted pretzel and pretty much everything else as well. Needless to say, Prohibition didn’t just give us a place to eat on our last night, they provided us with a memorable experience that we will all remember for years to come!

I had a fantastic birthday celebration at Prohibition last week! Great live music, delicious food, and excellent cocktails. My guests and I had such a great time, we can’t wait to come back! A big thank you to the entire team for the wonderful hospitality and for making my birthday truly special!

We went for a retirement party and the service was excellent as was the food. The open bar kept the bartender busy, but there was never much of a wait. Various, delicious, freshly prepared foods were brought out and were quickly consumed. Many were vegetarian and seafood.
We had our own secluded area, while.a.live band played in the main restaurant.

I recently hosted a party here for about 20 people and was SO happy with everything: the food, the drinks, the room, and the service. They were wonderful. I especially wanted to call out how good the food was, far exceeded my expectations especially for a bar. Everyone commented on that. And the drinks were outstanding too! Also the Speakeasy room is gorgeous – I dont think the pictures do it justice. We also used the Jo/Josephine’s corner area which was really awesome too with more of the live music vibe. My guests had an amazing time and it was just perfect for the intimate but fun gathering I wanted.

Absolutely exceptional experience.
We hosted a private gathering of around twelve people, and everything was truly perfect from start to finish, including being in touch with them for booking and finalizing everything, shoutout to Natalie.
The service was attentive and warm, a special shoutout to Gracie, the food and drinks were outstanding, and the atmosphere was exactly what we hoped for.
If you are considering this venue for a private event or even just a night out, I cannot recommend it highly enough!

A Must-Visit NYC Gem: Incredible Music, Food, and Energy!
If you want the ultimate New York City night out, Prohibition is the place to be! We had an absolute blast from the moment we stepped inside. The whole experience—from the warm welcome at the door to the high-energy live music—was 10/10.
The Food Experience: Truly Next Level
The food here isn’t just “bar snacks”—it’s a full-on culinary experience. We tried several dishes and honestly, every single one was a hit:
• Grandma’s Sunday Sauce: This was the star of the show. It’s pure comfort in a bowl and tastes like it’s been simmering for days.
• The Bacon: You can’t go wrong here. It’s perfectly prepared, smoky, and dangerously addictive.
• The Burrata: So fresh and creamy—the perfect way to start the meal.
• Crispy Shrimp: These had the perfect crunch and were packed with flavor.
The Vibes & Service
The host set the tone right away with a great welcome, and the service throughout the night was seamless. It’s rare to find a spot that balances a sophisticated “speakeasy” atmosphere with such friendly, attentive staff.
And of course, the music! The live band was electric and kept the energy high all night long. The “Roaring 20s” vibe is so well-done—it feels intimate but exciting at the same time.
Final Verdict
I would definitely suggest Prohibition to everyone! Whether you’re a local or just visiting the city, this is the spot for great food, amazing service, and a vibe you won’t find anywhere else. We’ll definitely be back for more!
