The team behind Prohibition Charleston announced that they are expanding to the capital city later this year. This opening comes as the team celebrates 10 years since James Walsh and Jim McCourt debuted along King Street in Charleston. Located downtown at 1556 Main Street, Prohibition Columbia is slated to open in late fall.
Beverage Director Jim McCourt will create the cocktail menu and the new bar will be equipped with a plethora of taps, which will pour select beers, wines, and cocktails.
In the kitchen, Chefs Greg Garrison and Analisa LaPietre will create the menu of “refined, Southern-inspired cuisine that features fresh, local ingredients whenever possible” The menu will include some of Prohibition's signature dishes – including the Crispy Brussels Sprouts with chili-lime sauce, the Shrimp & Grits made with heirloom grits and red curry butter, and the Whipped Ricotta Toast with Roasted Broccoli and Hot Honey – while also introducing new dishes. Upon opening, Prohibition will serve lunch and dinner daily.
Inside, the space features a spacious, full-service bar that runs the length of the dining room leading to an elevated stage for almost nightly live music. Near the stage, a lounge area allows for relaxed couch seating. Overhead, a private mezzanine area overlooks the space, giving an unobstructed view of the stage. It will also be available for private events and larger parties.
More details will be announced at a later date.
