    Chicken pot pie and mac n cheese
    YaGirlLauren S.

    Beautiful interior and AMAZING live music, the chicken pot pie was super good the gravy could be better though i will say. Mac n cheese had super good flavor as well. Very nice staff

    Our server was amazing, great sense of humor and on top of everything. The food was really good and the milkshakes "bring all the boys to the yard". I had the PK SIGNATURE BURGER .5 lb. house blend of short rib, brisket, sirloin, smoked bacon red onion jam, fried egg & red dragon cheese. The Red Dragon Cheese really sets this burger off. It was so damn good. Add in great live music and I'm hooked.

    First time here with a group of 11. They had live music playing. Server was friendly. We waited a while for our food. Food was good but nothing special. Everyone at the table felt differently about their food. One person felt their food was bland. While another person enjoyed their salad. I enjoyed my hamburger. The fried green tomatoes were a little disappointing as it didn't taste like traditional southern restaurants. The beer cheese soup was nothing to write home about.

    My friends and I really enjoyed this spot! A variety of choices on the menu. The service was speedy and super friendly. We loved the appetizers - brussel sprouts and fried pickles. I would definitely come back here if I go to St Augustine again!

    This is the Whiskey BBQ Burger.
    Cannon Y.

    Honestly went into this place thinking it was going to be incredible, I left full, just not too impressed. My burger was good, cooked correctly, but was just like any other burger. Nothing special separating it. Fries just like any other place. To be honest the waiting involved for this restaurant made me frustrated. I got the water ( taste how the trash streets of Savannah GA smell) wouldn't recommend getting water. . The service was poor and minimal. I am kicking myself leaving , I tipped 20% feeling like I rewarded poor workmanship.

    OH MY GOODNESS! When I tell you I know EXACTLY what I would choose if I were to be stranded on an island..it's this drink! I ordered the Hibiscus Spritz and safe to say it was the best drink i've ever had! It was the perfect amount of sweet without being overbearing. We sat at the bar and service was great as well! The vibe is soo fun and really brings you back in time. I love how the menus are newspapers and don't forget to check out the milkshake bar!

    Had a great lunch while visiting downtown St. Augustine. Prohibition is located in a trendy tourist shopping area. They had quite a line but we were able to secure a reservation and walk around to shop while we waited. They text us when our table was ready which is very convenient. The restaurant is themed from the prohibition area and we lived all the dark moody vibes. Had an amazing server who was knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Food is bar/tavern food and was really good. I loved they had a separate fryer for gluten and shellfish allergies so I could eat the French fries. We both had burgers and they were very tasty. Great bar and a lot of beers to choose from. It is quite noisy but it was part of the fun. Solid place to eat.

    Grilled cheese with short rib & peppers & onions & fries.
    Donna L.

    Went here for early supper & glad we did. We received recommendation from couple friends. I had the short rib beef grilled cheese with peppers & onions & fries. It was alot of meat & the cheese was melted perfectly & the buttered grilled toast was crunchy & delicious. We also ordered their version of deviled eggs. There were 6 pieces but we ate 2 before the pics were taken. They had a small piece of beef on top & a sauce. Waitress said they change what they put on top. They were pretty good, but a little overwhelmed with the steak & sauce on top, but still yummy. Hubby had shrimp & grits. It had 8 shrimp & a creole type sauce over the grits & a yummy biscuit along side. He said lots of flavor but the grits could've been a little more sturdy. The sauce was heavy over the grits but they were very good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All & all was a good experience & really cool interior.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our Waitress was super nice Marissa, she checked with us & made recommendations which were good. If back in the area, would definitely go back.

    We planned to go here after looking at lights. I called ahead to make a reservation, but they do not make reservations. I highly suggest that if you are gonna walk around to look at lights or around the city, that you stop by and check in first and get on the waitlist. It was a Tuesday night and they still had over an hour wait. There were some places to sit and wait and listen to music. The waitlist is via text so you can definitely walk around while you wait. There's live music from 6 to 9 PM. When we got seated, we were sitting at some tables downstairs between the bar and the booths. I would not recommend these chairs because they were very uncomfortable. It looks like the booths and the upstairs seats were better. The menus look like old newspapers. Our waitress was very attentive and my food was cooked exactly how I asked for it. I ordered the build a burger and it came out fantastic along with the sweet potato tots. They have Diet Coke and Coke products. There are definitely some other food items on the menu I'd still like to try next time. I'm interested in trying their milkshakes and alcoholic milkshakes as well.

    We were here on a Tuesday for a late lunch, still had to wait for 30 minutes for a table. So come early or make a reservation in advance. I had a super bowl salad with grilled chicken with honey and balsamic dressing, it was good. Big portion for one person, I had to take the rest of the salad. Service dogs are allowed inside the restaurant, but can't be on the seat. Good thing we had a stroller for our service dog, so he stayed in his stroller and took a nap. They serve traditional American food, hubby's favorite. The waitress who waited our table was friendly and attentive. There's a waiting area inside the restaurant, so you don't have to wait outside in the heat.

    Snagged a table fri night after about a 30 minute wait (less than I was quoted). Our server Joseph knew every single detail of the menu and was happy to help us pick out our cocktails after a handful of questions lol. I liked the option of a make your own old fashioned, although they don't make smokey ones here which is really my fav. Our cocktails did take a long time to come out, I guess you have to be patient on a fri night. We ordered apps- the giant pretzel and fried pickles- those came out quick and were warm and seemingly fresh. Just be warned after a certain time they pull the tables on the floor- so as soon as you are done eating they will ask you to scoot.

    Here St. Augustine doing a walk about stopped for some appetizers and a drink. Had the pork rinds and some deviled eggs with an old-fashioned. Deviled eggs are OK pork ribs are fantastic and the old-fashioned they nailed. It was really good.

    Stopped by during my first trip to Saint Aug, and didn't know what to expect other than a large selection of draft beer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was super cool & the live music was terrific.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was fantastic. I got the German soft pretzel as an appetizer & my girlfriend got the deviled eggs, both were great! I then ordered the whiskey bbq burger and it was unreal! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice dinner in the area with a casual atmosphere and terrific food.

    Ask the Community - Prohibition Kitchen

    Some of the reviews mentioned making reservations. Do they, in fact, take them?

    I am not sure about small groups. I know they day take reservations for private rooms and private areas for groups of 15+ for like parties and such. You can book 2 or 3 areas at the location.

    Is there parking for the restaurant?

    Parking is nearby in lots/by meter but the restaurant itself is a little walk, in the middle of a long street filled with shops and restaurants.

    Do you havea happy hour?

    Ah, while the Prohibition Kitchen may occasionally offer delightful libation specials, it lacks a regularly scheduled rendezvous for jubilant hours, if you catch my drift.

    Do you have music every night? We will be there Monday and Tuesday nights. What time does music start in the nights that there is music.

    Yes... here is the calendar: https://pkstaug.com/calendar

    Is it dog friendly?

    Leave your dog home

    Do they take reservations?

    No they don't take reservations, we just put our name on the list and explored the area.

    Is there a Kid's menu?

    Yes!! There is a kids menu! I ordered a burger from it and it came with fries, I think it was like less than $10 and there were other options as well!

    Should we make a reservation?

    They Do Not Take Reservations. FYI to responders of questionable, Do not answer if you actually don't know the accurate answer because you do not know any more than the person asking. You are doing a disservice by posting incorrect answers and can… 

    Do they offer a good beer selection?

    Yes.

    What time does the kitchen close?

    10PM, Light snacks available after 10PM

    Do they take reservations?

    No they do not take reservations

    Would this be a good place to take a group for a bachelorette party dinner?

    Depends on what vibe you're going for, it gets really crowded quickly and can loud with live music.

    When is Happy Hour?

    Prohibition Kitchen does not have a happy hour

    Do they have a happy hour? When?

    My wife and I have visited The Ice Plant several times over the years, and it remains one of our…read morefavorite dining destinations in St. Augustine. The combination of imaginative cocktails, exceptional food, and a unique atmosphere makes every visit memorable. The cocktail program is outstanding. We enjoy trying a variety of their exotic and inventive drinks, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant bar. The Yellow Submarine cocktail is quite possibly the best drink I have ever consumed. Made with curry-infused Bermuda black rum, lime, ginger, and Asian five-spice brown sugar syrup, it sounded unusual on paper but came together beautifully. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered four of them that evening, something I rarely do. That was three years ago, and despite returning several times since then, I have never seen it on the menu again. The food is equally impressive. Two years ago, I ordered the Skillet Roasted New York Strip served with Yukon Gold potato-anna, roasted asparagus and spring onions, watercress, and black truffle hollandaise. To this day, it remains one of the top five restaurant meals I have ever eaten. Every component on the plate was exceptional. The steak was perfectly prepared, the crispy potato galette was irresistible, and the black truffle hollandaise elevated the entire dish to another level. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plate is cleared. I would gladly drive 300 miles just to eat it again. Most recently, I had the wild mushroom bisque, and it was the best soup I have ever consumed. Rich, creamy, buttery, intensely mushroomy, and perfectly balanced, it was everything a mushroom soup should be. The addition of crispy pickled onions and crème fraîche added texture and contrast that made an already outstanding soup even better. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned the very next day hoping to order it again, only to discover it had already rotated off the menu. My only complaint about The Ice Plant is that some of their greatest creations seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive. While I appreciate the constantly evolving menu and understand that seasonal changes are part of what makes the restaurant special, there are certain items that deserve a permanent home. The Yellow Submarine cocktail, the wild mushroom bisque, and the Skillet Roasted New York Strip with black truffle hollandaise are three of the finest things I have experienced there. The fact that I can vividly remember one of these items from three years ago and another from two years ago says everything. Great restaurants serve good food. Truly special restaurants create dishes and drinks that stay with you for years. The Ice Plant has done that for me more than once, and that is why we continue to return whenever we visit St. Augustine.

    The Ice Plant is one of those places where the experience starts before you ever take a bite of…read morefood. The decor fits St. Augustine perfectly. Antique, rustic, comfortable, and full of enough character that you almost feel like you've stepped 200 years back in time. Then the drinks arrive, and suddenly you realize you've been transported into the future of cocktails. I wish I could remember the name of the drink I ordered because it was spectacular. Whiskey, a little sweetness, mint, and crushed ice. That's about all I can tell you. What I can tell you is that I could have happily consumed about 30 of them, tumbled down the stairs, and been perfectly happy about the whole experience. My wife went with the Mojito, and it was brilliantly constructed. The crushed ice and layered mint made it look almost too good to drink. Almost. The drinks absolutely deserve five stars. Then came the blue crab beignets, and they were spectacular. That's the kind of appetizer that makes you stop talking for a minute because everyone at the table is too busy enjoying what's happening. Unfortunately, the rest of the food didn't quite live up to the cocktails. The fish dip was very average and lacked much flavor, and the menu itself felt pretty limited. So here's the deal: if you're coming to The Ice Plant for drinks, I would have no problem giving it five stars. The cocktails are that good. This is a highly recommended stop for a drink in St. Augustine. But I have to review the entire experience, and the limited menu and average fish dip bring the overall experience down a notch. Four stars. Come for the drinks. Stay for the atmosphere. Definitely order the blue crab beignets. And if you happen to find yourself three cocktails deep, admiring the antique decor while contemplating the stairs, maybe just take your time.

First, the seating. The tables are unusually tall, making us feel like little kids trying to sit at the adults' table. It wasn't comfortable for anyone in our group. Then there were the lights. They continuously blinked above our table, and it was so distracting that we asked to move. Unfortunately, the second table had the same issue. I know St. Augustine is famous for its ghosts, but I wasn't expecting them to be playing with the lights at 7:00 p.m. while the sun was still shining! The biggest frustration was ordering. We were told menu items could be modified, but after placing our order the server kept returning one item at a time to tell us they actually couldn't make the requested changes. It would have been much better to know that before ordering. The pickle appetizer was another disappointment. Based on the description, I expected a pickle-forward appetizer. Instead, it was mostly kimchi, pickled onions, and other pickled vegetables with only five slices of actual pickles. I honestly don't have the words to describe how disappointing that dish was. I was also excited to try the tzatziki green beans, but the crisp pickled green beans tasted more like fermented green sticks than an enjoyable side dish. The baked Brie arrived with what I initially thought was melted cheese inside the croissant, but it turned out to be undercooked raw dough. Imagine my surprise when I realized I had just taken a bite of raw dough. I actually started feeling sick before we even left the restaurant. My younger son ordered the house root beer, which tasted extremely watered down. He also had the pasta with added grilled chicken, but the chicken was dark meat, overly shiny, and completely unappetizing to him. I ordered the non-alcoholic Velvet Slippers mocktail. One sip was enough--I honestly can't find the words to describe how unpleasant it tasted. My friend ordered the steak sandwich and requested the peppers be left off. After ordering, she was told they couldn't accommodate that request, so she had to pick the peppers off herself and still didn't enjoy the sandwich. My older son ordered the lamb sirloin. Even though lamb is often served medium-rare, this was so rare it looked like it was still bleating. We paid our bill before dessert because my stomach was already upset. I ended up making one last stop in the restroom before catching up with my family, who were already halfway down the street, ready to forget Forgotten Tonic. Sadly, this was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've had. Between the uncomfortable seating, blinking lights, inability to accommodate simple modifications, disappointing food, and getting sick before leaving the restaurant, we won't be returning.

Also you will get comforted, dismissed and talked down by what I'm only to assume, was the the owner; lates 50s white woman with white tank and an old cowboy hat & her overly buff older dude! The kicker, I was told, " I must not be from the "area" because folks here are ok with being touched and displaced by "The Girls!". So we left and will never return; told my finance that spot was definitely off our bar crawl for the wedding! Just upsetting that folks still act so pretentious and rude to people they don't even know! I felt targeted both racially and because of my sexual orientation. IT A LOCALS ONLY HANG OUT PERIOD! JUST WALK ON OVER TO "NO NAME" and thank me later!

    There's so much to do in STA and so many different types of bars, restaurant and lounges. This…read moreplace just isn't my jam, but that doesn't mean others don't have fun here. There was live music the weekend we went, and it was super loud and you couldn't hear your friends at all. The drinks are simple and easy and the prices are super reasonable. If this is the kinda spot you like to hang, you won't be unhappy.
