Prohibition Kitchen, American restaurant in Saint Augustine, Florida.
Prohibition Kitchen is an American restaurant in the old town of Saint Augustine, Florida, spread across two floors of a historic building. The upper floor has balcony seating that looks down over the performance stage, while the ground floor holds what is said to be the longest bar counter in the city.
The building goes back to Saint Augustine's colonial period, making it one of the oldest structures in a city that has been continuously occupied for over 450 years. During renovation, original heart pine floorboards from that era were uncovered and reused for the bar top and booth tables still visible today.
Local musicians play on the ground-floor stage most evenings, giving the space a lively feel that draws both locals and visitors. The menu draws on ingredients from nearby farms and producers, which makes the food feel rooted in the region.
The restaurant sits in the heart of the historic district, so it is easy to reach on foot if you are already exploring the old town. On Fridays and Saturdays the kitchen and bar stay open very late, which makes it a practical stop for those ending the evening in the area.
The name refers to the 1920s ban on alcohol in the United States, and the cocktail menu takes that theme further with drinks named after regional spirits and the smuggling culture of that time. Some of the spirits used come from small distilleries in Florida, connecting the theme to a local supply chain.
