  • Cuban Swizzle, a combination of Rumhaven, Green Chartreuse, lime, demerara and pineapple.


The new drinks are supported by a menu categorized by spirit and more cocktails that highlight the San Diego’s sunny mindset, such as

  • Orange Julias Ceasar, made with You & Yours Sunday Gin, lemon, honey and Magdala egg white.
  • Strrraarrgghhmmy Navy, a combination of Rives Pink Strawberry Gin, lemon, orgeat and R&D house bitters.

To add extra buzz to the evening, Prohibition hosts live music performances by B-Side Players’ Karlos Paez and Friends on Wednesdays, Lightning Room Sessions hosted by Shane Hall on Thursdays, and Sunday Solos Sessions hosted by Shane Hall on Sundays, each beginning at 9PM.
