Prohibition Public House excels with "great food and service," a cozy atmosphere, and a unique menu featuring standout dishes like venison burgers and brisket.

    We love the pork belly, sausage, cheese, especially the blueberry jelly with a yogurt-like texture, not sweet, just keeps the natural flavour of blueberry, a little surprise!

    Truly a great spot. Not cheap, but worth it. Sam (BT) is an absolute delight. Would recommend they look at bolstering the cellar with some Canadian wines, but overall, 10/10 would recommend!
