Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at Prohibition Rooftop Bar & Grill runs deeper than its rooftop setting suggests. The Libations menu carries 12 craft cocktails at $13-$14, a six-martini Monday happy hour, and a house barrel program. A spirits list spanning bourbon, scotch, tequila, gin, rum, and cognac includes allocated bottles poured by the ounce. Wine and beer selections are broad and conventional, and the mocktail section is unusually thorough for the format.
- What should I order?
- Start with The Enchanted Gin-A-Pear, the Empress Gin and pear nectar cocktail that carries a Rocket City Cocktail Festival WINNER 2025 banner. For a whiskey-forward route, the Prohibition Old Fashioned lets you choose among Prohibition's Select Barrels of Old Elk, Maker's Mark, or Knob Creek. The Rooftop Rita and Clean Getaway round out the $13-$14 craft list.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups drawn to a wide cocktail list with clear entry points, whiskey drinkers interested in allocated pours by the ounce, and anyone who wants a full mocktail menu rather than a single token option. The Monday martini list and Wednesday half-price bottles give weekly regulars a reason to return.
- When should I go?
- Monday happy hour for the six $5 martinis, Tuesday for $5 margaritas, Wednesday for half-priced wine bottles, or Thursday for draft discounts. Brunch is when the Mimosa Flight and Carafe are listed.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Craft cocktails run $13-$14, with the Prohibition Old Fashioned at $20-$25 depending on spirit selection. Draft beers are $6-$9 and bottled or canned beers $5-$10. Wine by the glass is $10-$13, bottles $27-$45. Mocktails are $7 each. Spirits selections $50 and up are served as 2 oz, with 1 oz pours available on certain liquors.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A rooftop restaurant with a downstairs lounge, a rooftop bar, and a space called The Hideout. The bar keeps Prohibition's Select Barrels of Old Elk as a house barrel selection and pours allocated whiskey including Parker's Heritage Collection and Pendleton by the ounce. The Enchanted Gin-A-Pear carries a Rocket City Cocktail Festival WINNER 2025 banner.
