Classic American Fare with a Speakeasy Twist in Downtown LA

With a Prohibition-era theme, exposed brick walls, and moody lighting, this spot offers a unique blend of old-school charm and modern energy. It's a favorite for those looking to enjoy elevated comfort food, craft cocktails, and a lively atmosphere before or after a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short walk from several major music venues, Proabition DTLA is a convenient stop for a pre-show dinner or post-concert nightcap. Guests love the quick, attentive service that gets them in and out in time for the main act.

l Good atmosphere and nice service, nice people. The food is not really special but it is okay (pasty was a bit to spice). More of a club to have a drink than a restaurant.
