please don't change the menu - the mac and cheese needs to go back to being baked
Food was good and atmosphere is unique. Ate in the "garage" a secondary building just next to the primary location.
When entering the primary location, hostess asked if we would like to eat there as there was immediate availability.
Sat down, server 1 asked for drinks. Waited a while and a new server came over and let us know he would be taking over, he then brought out drinks.
After taking our food order, heet us know that the bartender would be taking over our table.
The bar tender we saw once... Had 2 drinks while the bartender had at least 3 that we saw, in the time they were not tending to our table.
This was extremely disorganized and a horrible Experiance. Sat with empty drinks (alcohol and water) the majority of the time we were there. 0 check-in from any of the 3 servers that interacted with our table.
Was a Friday night, but I would not in anyway consider "busy".
Would try again in the summer maybe, to see if a different Experiance is had, but wouldn't be in a rush to do so.
Premium prices, bottom shelf service.

We've been to Prohibition 2 times....the first time was perfect...5 stars on everything. The second time...was a bit hit or miss. Atmosphere was great, service was polite....just we had a couple issues with our order. THe drink that I ordered was not correct at all....the server apologized...but then my wife's drink arrived and same thing...her martini was served in a brandy glass...and was not made correctly. Could be an off night? The bacon on my order was also burned...I had to take it off. Will give them another shot as the first visit was so amazing. Maybe we need to eat inside and not the garage? If you have not been its worth a try.

This place is my favorite restaurant right now. The food is literally amazing and bursting with flavor. The Brussel sprouts are the best I have had. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. The owner is super cool and chill. I can not recommend enough.
Such a nice looking place, but what a disappointment,its almost impossible to get in the barn to enjoy a drink.The employees are completely indifferent and the music wasn't reminisce of the name and era. The 1 positive the Old Fashioned was good.

This was the biggest disappointment after hearing people recommend this place. Service was horrific. Almost every employee was indifferent, unprofessional and treated customers like they were a nuisance other than the blonde hostess who was very kind. We had to flag down our waitress to tell her we were ready to order because she never came to our table. She didn’t know what the taco options were for the day which would be understandable but for the other service issues. We spent nearly two hours there and it took 45 minutes after we finished our food to get the check. Despite it being nearly 90 degrees our waitress struggled to refill our water. We got pretzels, loaded fries and a rice bowl with Korean chicken. All of it tasted frozen and reheated in the microwave. The rice bowl had carrots which were served raw but slightly warm and the chicken wasn’t Korean chicken by any stretch of the imagination, but tasted more like the frozen Trader Joe’s orange chicken. The fries were somehow scorching hot but floppy and tasted like they’d been sitting out. The employees stood around a lot despite multiple people around us being agitated by the wait times, including the people directly next to us who were so upset that when they finally got their food- after ordering before us and getting their food long after us- they handed the waitress their card and told her to just settle the check right then. Overall it was a bad experience & we definitely wouldn’t go back or recommend anyone try this place.

Decent food and drink selection-nothing that will wow you but tasted good. They stock some good whiskey/bourbons. My main complaints-bathrooms were not well kept, sometimes when you go in they burn the STRONGEST smelling candles that I can't deal with-way to pungent. This is more of a personal thing. Overall, we go back since we live close- but seems like the place could use a little spruce up inside. Outside area is nice.

A wonderful place with wonderful food and vibes. We were super hungry late at night and having a hard time finding anything with food open. We got there a few minutes before the kitchen closed and our server Mason was super understanding and accommodating. He took our order super fast and literally ran to the kitchen to put it in. What a legend. If you’re in the area it’s a must!

We have been going to Prohibition since it opened years ago. We have never had a bad meal, the drinks are always amazing, and the owner Elton is always welcoming and warm. If you are looking for some great food & bourbon- look no further. One of the best places to go in Powell!
