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!

Wasn't too sure what to expect here, but wow. So glad we tried it. The lighting, the atmosphere, the decor, even the menus are superb. What a place

Amazing! I don't want to ruin the experience by telling you how to find it, but persevere and it'll be well worth it! Gorgeous drinks, beautiful setting and great entertainment if you catch the pianist in action. The staff were brilliant too, very helpful and accomodating. We loved it!

Ssssssshhhhh this place doesn't exist. Okay, it does and it's very nice. Sneak up those steps, give the door a magic knock and you should be greeted with a very warm welcome and taken to a table to be seated. The Cocktail menu is pretty comprehensive, so I'm sure you will find something nice to sip whilst you enjoy the ambience and your evening. I recommend the Old Fashioned personally, it's fantastic!

Fantastic atmosphere - went for a few drinks with my brother and his girlfriend and we had a great time. We were all super impressed with the vibe and the (strong) cocktails!

What a gem. If you can find it you'll have a wonderful experience. It's very intimate only 20 covers, I'd say. A pianist was playing and singing to help with the ambience. We had 4 cocktails, and each one was special, a work of art. We will be returning when we're next in Chester

Fabulous little bar, very authentic. Definitely worth a visit.

Love this secret bar! The atmosphere is so cool here and the drinks are amazing! The furniture and decor add so much character too! Highly recommend.

By far thee best cocktail bar in Chester. Been visiting every time we’re in the city , for several yrs now never disappoints. The surefire signs of a good cocktail bar is NO 2 for 1 rubbish and also there’s absolutely no worries about going of the grid , they’ll make you anything you desire… superb

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!

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.

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.

Great place! Went out of their way to accommodate us. Drinks are pricey at between £9 and £18 and it's a shame they don't do complimentary nibbles but overall a great fun place to spend an hour or two.

Amazing. I was absolutely in my element here, the atmosphere is fantastic. Apparently it used to be a bit more 'immersive', but with a bit of imagination you can easily take yourself back to the 20's. The service was fantastic and the cocktails were great - thanks very much to the chaps behind the bar and for our parting gift. Wishing you all the best - we'll definitely be back.

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 ⭐🍹🍸

One of the most amazing bars ive been too l. They will mix you a drink that you simply want

Loved my first visit to Prohibition and will definitely be going back. Great classic cocktails. Great atmosphere and very friendly service.

Amazing place albeit a little hard to find and need to knock on a blacked out door in an alley to get in but that adds to the charm Super knowledgeable and friendly people amazing quality drinks and a beautiful intimate unusual setting One of most quirky unusual bars ever been loved it

Such a great place to go, very atmospheric, and the cocktails are lush, if you like cake and alcohol have the black forest it's a cake in a glass, amazing, loved it.

Amazing hidden gem of a cocktail that can be easily missed! Found it by chance as we followed the piano we could hear playing. Located next to Lono Cove, up a set of stairs going through a large door. Looks like a flat, lol. Once inside your whisked away into a different gothic infused era. Great pianist and character! One of the best cocktails I've had, (The Rum & Raisin). Definitely coming back and staying a while, whilst trying other cocktails. Best bar in Chester!!!

The best cocktails I've ever tried!!! 10/10 recommend this place. Great ambiance and very warm and attentive staff!!!!!

Great hidden bar, really nice cocktails, good music and very friendly & knowledgeable staff. Really enjoyed our visit, I had the peanut butter old fashioned which was on as a special which was really good - buttery, salty and all round tasty. Would definitely go back again.
