Latest review 2024: Recently service seems to have slightly improved and we had an enjoyable evening. We got our drinks in a reasonable time but had to remind the server that we were waiting on water and snacks. We had an enjoyable time. Another review 2024: Prohibition used to be one of our favourite venues, but lately it feels far more "mainstream" and less exclusive. This means that it accepts rowdy, loud parties that don't respect the "speak-easy" theme that's intended. We waited over 20mins to receive our drinks and snacks, and didn't receive (but were charged for) items on our bill. Previous review from 2020: One of our Chester favourites for a brilliant cocktail (or three or four or too many). Nice vibes, quite high prices but they reflect the quality and service.

Great drinks, lovely atmosphere. Can be hard to find if you don't know where to look. Would recommend going here if you're in Chester. Recommend getting the smith and western cocktail.

14/09/24: loved the experience. It was everything a Speakeasy should be. However, i felt very let down by some of the clientele that was permitted entrance. One chap insisted on asking the waiter if he was gay and then continued to quiz him, and then turned to my friend and I who and equally pursued the same line of questioning. It was only appropriate to shut him down. On another table, an extremely drunk lady could not contain her noise and loudness! Very disappointing! I can only add that the cocktails were very good though and the barman very knowledgeable!

Unfortunately last couple visits have been below average, which is a shame as my first visit was a good experience, I am will to improve the score and edit the review if improvements are made, service had been unmotivated and dull and atmosphere seems to have dropped considerably, which I'd very unfortunate, I would honestly recommend another bar on the street at this moment in time.

Possibly could of walked past without knowing wer it was. Bt was a planned trip amougsted others. On arrival the door staff wee brilliant and welcoming. The whole experience from start to finish was awesome. The atmosphere was brilliant. The surroundings wer brilliant the staff wer amazing and knowledgeable about the the drinks the wer advising us to have. The service was top notch. We planned just to stop for 1 drink bt spent the whole night ther. I would give the experience 10/10. This place is a must when visiting Chester. I think we ate them out of cheese and pickles after washing them dwn with 5-6 cocktails each. Could not of asked for a better night.

Ailis provided us with amazing service, serving us some stunning and beautiful drinks. Her attention to detail was amazing. Ailis served attention grabbing drinks with exceptional service. She offered to shine our shoe, which was very kind, and in our opinion she should be paid 3-5x her current rate. She had great banter and catered to us with the best of service. Cant recommend better for a chester evening

Wow… a fantastic cocktail bar created with the history of alcohol prohibition. Hidden within offices on Watergate Street and when you walk inside you absorb the feeling of illegal alcohol drinkers back in this historical period. A large menu of a variety of different drinks… all with a story behind them. When you visit Chester, then you need pop in here.

Beautiful drinks and friendly staff always greet you at the door and seat you. For the best experience, try to go there at a quiet time for a nice atmosphere. Though they sometimes do have live music at busier times! Edit: Just wanted to add for caution. If you suffer from a PEANUT ALLERGY, be aware that the pretzels contain peanut butter. ⚠️

They've captured the atmosphere of a Speakeasy from the prohibition era. Absolutely fantastic; their old fashioned (and festive old fashioned) were awesome. Best I've had. They also have rarer drinks like a 15 year old Pappy van Winkle bourbon for example. Plenty of choice from Bourbons and Whiskeys to Gins and Vodkas. People saying it's tough to find... it's not sign posted, but, all you need to do is find Lono Cove and its signage, go up the steps to the door with 66 on it, prohibition is on your right.

An absolute hidden gem, came to find this wonderful place last night and were treated to the most fantastic service, from every member of staff but a special mention to Oliver who was the most incredibly attentive person whilst still running the fast paced bar smoothly. My partner and I were fortunate enough to be sat at the bar and had the opportunity to chat with staff and watch as these incredible cocktails were being made. We never had to wait for any drinks, all of which were impecably crafted. The atmosphere of the whole place was inviting yet made you feel like you were stepping through time. I couldn't pick my favourite cocktail as they were all sublime! A fantastic experience, fantastic service, fantastic cocktails! we will be back!

Love this little speakeasy. It's quite difficult to find unless you know where to look (hint, go up the white steps and the door is at the end). The decor is unique trying to keep in with the American prohibition era. The drinks are lovely and our bartender Oliver was very considerate and hospitable.

Once we found it, we were trying to look through the door and it was opened just a crack we were welcomed by Mark and shown to a table. At first it's very dark until your eyes become accustomed. The atmosphere was great, 1920s speak easy vibe with great blues music mixed with jazz etc. Mark gave us a rundown of the cocktails and made recommendations. I had the Banana foster and a black forest. Both were delicious. Going back tonight for another drink! Highly recommended!

Nicely tucked away but still gets all the attention. Went here and tried two cocktails each with my wife. We were lucky enough to have seats available right away, but expect a 15 to 20 mins wait if you arrive later without reservation. The choice of cocktails is ample, with something for everyone's taste. If you're out in Chester for the weekend, this should definitely be on your list of places to visit.

Chester da gördüğüm oldukça enteresan bir mekan. Gizlenmiş sadece bilenlerin gittiği bir yer. Müzik sesi rahatsız etmiyor benim orda olduğum süre de caz ve Blues agarlikli bir liste vardı. Muizk seviyesi yanındakine duyabilecek ama yan masa da konuşulanları duyamayacagin bir seviyede. Kokteyl fiyatları 9 pound dan başlıyor ama çok keyifli ve zengin bir kokteyl menüsü var. Ben çok beğendim. Tavsiye ediyorum.

WOW what an incredible experience! Prohibition is secreted away at the top of a flight of stairs, the doors close behind you and you enter a darkened room where you are seated at a table and handed your cocktail menu, hidden in the centre of a hardback copy of Lady Chatterley's lover. The atmosphere is fantastic with blues music playing gently in the background and a cocktail mixer who is out of this world with precision and craftsmanship. Absolutely could not recommend Prohibition highly enough ⭐🍹🍸

Unhelpful and can’t tell the time… took a friend over from the US there for a quick sandwich last Saturday. Had bought bread there before (sourdough from Bear bakery) but never eaten, and had heard lovely things. In we go. ‘Sorry, the kitchen’s closed’. Oh! What time did it close? ‘We close at 2:00 on a Saturday’. What a shame, we just wanted a quick bite. There was no wriggle room here, it was very clear. As we depart I note that it is actually 1:55pm, not yet 2:00. So wriggle room shouldn’t even have been necessary. On principle won’t return. Had to give stars for food even though obvs wasn’t lucky enough to be awarded any…
