Imagine someone from out-of-town comes in and asks where's a good place for continental cuisine in the city. He is told to go to the Prohibition Room, and you can see the response. .....

To me, speakeasy is just for drinking and things you can't do in mainstream. Prohibition Room leaves the mind looking to discover 'exactly what this place is.'

And if the food is good and decor is great - it should become an OKC institution worthy of its location.
Thank you Hotrod

Prohibition Room was also a term used to desribe a room of a house which was set up for drinking and such back in the 30's and 40's. When guest would come over for a visit the host might say something like "let's all sit down and relax in the Prohibition Room and enjoy each others company." I have never seen the term around this part of the US, however it is used in the north and north east a bit more.

The website is Prohibitionroom.com
The site is under construction

Look forward to giving OKC a new experience in service and cuisine.
