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.

    Tonight we celebrated two friend’s birthdays at Prohibition. It was our first time here and the experience did not disappoint. The atmosphere was rustic, inviting and very clean. There are two large sitting areas and plenty of room at the bar while you’re waiting on a table (if you don’t have reservations). The manager, bartender and our server (Katie)were all very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We had the cherry sour, old fashion and carolina wren. This is a tapas style restaurant. We shared the charred wings, shrimp fried rice, Brussel sprouts and the pierogies. All phenomenal. For dessert we had the lemon poundcake. We enjoyed our experience tonight and will definitely return!

    We loved the atmosphere and they ended up having a great band. The only negative is that they seem to only have one GF menu and they couldn’t find it. I am Celiac and trusted their recommendation. Unfortunately, I did get sick. I’m not sure if it was a bad recommendation or cross contamination. I had the crab deviled eggs sans panko (don’t recommend, the crab was overpowering), Caesar salad, and steak frites. I would go back for the drinks and atmosphere, but I wouldn’t eat there. My son and husband had a great meal, though.

    The service was pretty good. They definitely try to persuade you to get as many cocktails as possible. The food was ok, but extremely small portions. They describe themselves as tapas, but they’re not. They just serve small portions of food for exorbitant prices.

    My friends and I chose Prohibition to celebrate one of our friends birthday early and the ambiance was a vibe. Soon as we walked in, it was very cleaned and the staff was friendly. The food was amazing and the drinks 🍸 even better. It's definitely a spot I'll visit again.

    Prohibition in Charleston and repeal 33 are 2 of my favorite places to eat. We plan trips just to eat there. I was so excited to have you guys in my home town! However, here in Columbia, is not even close to what you do in your other restaurants. Everything here was just ok.

    This is a tapas type restaurant and while each dish we ordered (3) we enjoyed but overpriced in my opinion. for 3 tapas dishes and only drinking water we spent 52.00. We, only 2 of us, enjoyed the three dishes together ... food was good, cant complain. Cost was just high and probably won't be back for the dinner hour. I have had bruch here before and that seemed a better value than the dinner hour.

    10/10 Recommend! If you love Tapas or never experienced it, then I definitely recommend Prohibition for that dining experience! Ambience was nice, food and drinks were amazing and service was outstanding.
