What People Are Saying About Prohibition Tap Room

Featured Review

Tara Nurin

In Short – With all of the capacious and polished gastropubs that opened around the same year as Prohibition Taproom, one might expect it to be a little more, well, yuppified. But there's not a yuppie within shooting distance of this hipster dive that, considering its bona fide gastro menu and a beer list that holds its own against the better beer bars in town, might actually take exception to a "dive" designation. But despite its name, there's nothing retro or speakeasy about the interior and the gigantic outdoor neon sign that sets its abandoned warehoue neighborhood alight to announce…

Editor's Tips

Where to Sit:
The bar is oddly shaped to provide more seating room and a greater ability to converse.
Save Money:
Beer and cocktail specials lure in cheap drinkers every day of the week.
When to Go:
The kitchen serves food until midnight Sunday through Thursday and until 1am on Friday and Saturday.

Best Burger By Far

by aleman123 at Citysearch

I went to Prohibition for the 3rd time last night and decided to research there blog cred on the internet. It seems that everyone feels the same way I do about this place except the guy here before me seems odd. I have eaten nothing but perfectly prepared burgers time and time again. Some other things that stand out are the beer battered green beans, french onion soup, and grilled cheese with apples, arugula, and bacon, wow. As far as the beer is concerned they have whatever your pleasure is, I think there is 60 bottles on a well thought out list. The drafts are always different and always award winning ales, oh and they have a hand pump. As far as service goes the staff is great nothing but informed, and friendly. Perfect place cant wait till these guys open up a taproom in my hood.

Too much attitude for a local bar

by Bwine at Citysearch

The food is good pub fare, it's a cool setting, and the juke box is great, but the staff and friends of staff cliente (their only clientele it seems) make this place too cool for school and extremely unwelcoming. Could be 4 or 5 star establishment with even a slightly courteous staff.

  • Pros: Food and Juke Box
  • Cons: Service
