Prohibition Chicken - Dine Like It's 1933
At Prohibition Chicken, you can dine like it's 1933... and drink like it's 1921.
It's a full Texan "supper" affair at this downtown Lewisville restaurant, complete with family-style meals and a stellar bar program. You can drink out in the open (even on the patio with live music!) just like when Prohibition ended in 1933, or drink in secret like it's 1921 (more on that later).
The Volstead Act and Eighteenth Amendment never saw the likes of Prohibition Chicken, but I'm sure glad they inspired this place.

Chicken is the name of the game, obviously, at Prohibition Chicken, but there are several other things that you definitely should not miss. Case in point: The Hickory Grilled Trout. So fresh, served with lemon and sea salt, this Trout will have me returning again and again. There's also a Beeman Family Ranch Akaushi Tri-Tip on the menu, which I'm betting is equally fantastic.
Once you choose your meats and sides, your meal will be brought out to you family style, along with 4 milk jugs of their homemade "sops" for dipping.

For a buck per person, you can begin your meal with their "Big Salad", topped with a crunchy beet chip, bacon grit croutons, smoked onions, corn nuts, and your choice of tomato Dijon vinaigrette or buttermilk green goddess dressing.

The drinks at Prohibition are throwbacks to classics, plus some creative modern twists. Truly one of the best bar programs I've encountered at a new restaurant lately, the bar manager, Tyson Sparks, is absolutely one of the best around. The menu he's created has more than a few options for every type of drinker.

The cocktails might take a minute to arrive to the table, but they're well worth the wait – expertly hand crafted to order.

The Cherry On Top (of your cocktail)
Since you've made it all the way to the end, I feel like we're friends now, which is why I feel comfortable sharing this super top secret information with you: There is a code-word-access speakeasy inside Prohibition Chicken with an expanded cocktail menu beyond what you'll find in the main restaurant, and also a limited bar menu. Hidden inside the faux telephone booth in the back of the restaurant, the adults-only room is like stepping into a secret 1920's hideaway. Just enter the phone booth, pick up the phone, press any number, and tell them the pass code you were given when making your reservations. You can also take your chances without a reservation – just pick up the phone and tell them how many are in your party to see if there's room in the charming, dark speakeasy to accommodate your party. The speakeasy at Prohibition Chicken is open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights from 5pm to close for your exclusive enjoyment.You're welcome and *shhhhhhhhhh*.
