The Latest

Prohibition paused public trade a few months into 2026. In very good news for drinkers, the bar is reopening on September 18 for a limited run. Pop down 4pm–10pm every Friday and Saturday throughout spring and summer for cocktails, G&Ts, gin flights and a special events calendar that includes drag bingo, gin blending classes and more.

“We’ve genuinely missed having our doors open for our city-based customers at Gilbert Street,” Prohibition founder Adam Carpenter wrote in an email to Broadsheet. “We wanted to bring it back in a way that feels special – two nights a week, with great drinks, good food and plenty happening. It’s a different way of experiencing the distillery, and we can’t wait to have people back through the doors.”

Founded in 2015, this small-batch gin distillery operates in the city and at a second site in Seppeltsfield. Drop by and you’ll find distillers are often in the process of serious production while punters enjoy a drink out the front. Gin sits in oak barrels (which previously held shiraz) alongside the bar.

The tasting room’s gin flights come on paddles with garnishes, tonic water and ice. Drinkers can geek out on what’s there and why, or get a basic blow-by-blow before mixing their own G&Ts. And snack on pizza or a cheese board.

Each flight has at least one of Prohibition’s gins for comparison, but there are upwards of 50 bottles on the bar from other mostly local makers. Naturally, gin-based cocktails reign supreme; but other options include a Mandarin Paloma and Espresso Martini.
