    Our group of 6 visited on a Friday night, and had a bit of trouble finding the entrance (which I actually appreciated, as it is a speakeasy). The space is sexy and elegant, and the service was incredibly friendly. Our server was very helpful with the menu and recommendations. Their signature cocktails are all fun riffs on classic cocktails. Besides that, they also offer beer, wine, mocktails, and other cocktails. Among the drinks we ordered were the Liquid Gold, Volstead Violations, Poetic Legs, and Lady of the Law. I think the Poetic Legs was my personal favorite (I love the complexity of a jungle bird), but everyone enjoyed their drinks! Prices are also pretty reasonable at around $15 per drink. Would definitely love to visit again next time I'm in town!

    This a great new Art Deco inspired speakeasy in my neighborhood! A lovely addition to Lafayette Square and the City. I love the theme of naming the drinks after prominent women during the Prohibition era. All the drinks we had were delicious! Highly recommend!

    We've been here twice now. The guest time was their opening night and then again last weekend. Absolutely love it. If you were sad when the 21st Brewery closed, you'll be happy to see what they've done with the place. The space is absolutely perfect for a speakeasy. I love that they have the "secret" entrance and password. The decor, which pays homage to the women of prohibition, fits the space and gives it such great ambiance. The service, even on opening night, has been outstanding. Friendly, prompt, attentive without being intrusive. We were offered a bowl of mixed nuts to accompany our cocktails, which is a nice added touch. The craft cocktails have been superb. The balance, the aesthetics, everything. The specialty themed cocktails are $15, which is very reasonable these days for good craft cocktails. This place is a must-do, especially if you dig the speakeasy vibe.

    My first time checking out the new speakeasy, tucked away in the basement, and a little tricky to find, but once you're inside it has a true speakeasy vibe: dark, sultry, and almost cinematic. They offer a mix of classic cocktails and their own signature creations, though there's no food menu. I really liked their house Old Fashioned made with apple brandy. I also thought the French 75/Last Word hybrid was a fun, lighter option, but the Old Fashioned was definitely my favorite.

    We had to call the host to guide us to the proper entrance once inside. There's no signage, true speakeasy. We appreciated the hunt. Greeted with a welcome drink after sharing we were celebrating a birthday - such a lovely first impression. The ambiance is what you would expect, dimly lit. however, the bar is larger than expected for a speakeasy, so you could easily come solo for a drink.

    We went for drinks during their soft-opening and this has the potential to be the next big thing in STL. The bar was designed really well and the "password" concept is a nice touch. The drinks were good. We will come back here again and try more of their menu!

    First time at Prohibition was for my birthday. I did mention this when I made reservations online. It was a little difficult to find the entrance but look for the Gatsby sign then go downstairs. There is a chair in the hallway but I'm not sure if the hostess comes out when it's time to seat someone or if she sits out there most of the evening. I was early but she did go ahead and seat me. The server was very knowledgeable and explained the drink menu. Many drinks on the menu are named after women who played an instrumental part in the Prohibition era. I was given a complimentary "shot" for my birthday. Very cool spot

I think it needed a bit more flavor. The potatoes that came with it were very tasty.

He made some suggestions after I asked a few questions. Ended up with the Denial and Error made with Strawberry Infused Cambio Blanco Tequila, Black Sesame-Miso Syrup, Lime, and Chocolate Walnut Bitters. So different but so good as is always the case! I loved how the miso and sesame came through. My other pick was what my daughter was going to get so I got to try that, too! The So Hip It's Outta Sight made with Blanco Tequila, Green Chile Vodka, Creole Shrubb, Cranberry-Sage Syrup, and Lime. It was sweet and good. I would order either of them again. We arrived late on Sunday, around 9:00 PM and they closed at 10:00 not realizing till we were in and seated that no one else was there, we must have passed the last person that came out as we were coming in. Everyone was very gracious; we had one drink and were on our way. I normally have two but didn't want to overstay. I love this place!

The vibe is classic, elevated, and gives true cocktail lounge energy -- not loud or chaotic, just intentional and well put together. Now let's talk about what we came for: the drinks. We ordered the Old Fashioned flight, and when I say they did not come to play... they did not come to play. Each one was crafted differently, and you can tell there's real skill behind the bar. These are not bartenders -- these are mixologists. Every drink was balanced, strong (in a good way), and thoughtfully made. Quick tip: If you plan on getting the Old Fashioned flight, make this your last stop of the night... because you will feel it. Service was great, drinks came out in a timely manner, and the overall experience felt elevated from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for a true cocktail experience in St. Louis.

One of the coolest touches is the large display of vinyl records, it adds a ton of character and gives the whole place a unique, almost nostalgic energy.

It was a pretty serious drink. I'd probably get a weaker, sweeter drink next time, because that is my taste. The mac and cheese was pretty good. Quite hot! It came packed in this little bowl. I felt so cozy here... It made for one of my preferred eating out in the city in winter experiences.

I tried the Pretty in Pink cocktail, which was well-balanced and enjoyable, though the pour felt a bit light for a martini. Normally one martini gives me a slight buzz, but that wasn't the case here. We started with the onion rings as an appetizer. The portion size was generous, and they were tasty overall, though they had a tangy seasoning dusted on top that seemed a little odd at first. Surprisingly, it still worked. I ordered the Good Burger, and it was honestly one of the most flavorful smash burgers I've ever had. I was genuinely impressed. I got the sauce on the side since it also came with the onion rings, and unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of it -- it was a bit runny and lacked flavor. My friend ordered the vegan burger and absolutely loved it. The inside of the restaurant was cute and had a great atmosphere, though there was an unusual smell indoors, so I was very thankful we were able to grab one of the outdoor tables. Outdoor seating is pretty limited, though, so keep that in mind if you prefer sitting outside.
