Overview
Prohibition is a well-known Long Island live music bar and grill located on Front Street in the heart of Massapequa Park. It has built a reputation as one of the area's most reliable rooms for live music thanks to a strong sound system video screens for viewing from anywhere in the room and a kitchen that stays open late.
Music Programming
Tuesday Open Jam
Every Tuesday starting around 7:30 PM Prohibition hosts a long-standing open jam that runs until midnight. The jam is known for attracting genuinely talented players including seasoned Long Island musicians who treat it as a regular hangout rather than a casual open mic. Hosting duties have rotated over the years among local musicians which keeps the lineup varied while the core group of regulars stays consistent.
Original Music Wednesdays
Wednesdays are set aside for original songwriters and bands performing their own material giving local artists a stage separate from the cover-heavy weekend shows.
Karaoke Thursdays
Thursday nights bring karaoke with a resident DJ turning the room into a sing-along party that reviewers frequently call one of the best karaoke nights on Long Island.
Weekend Live Bands
Fridays and Saturdays typically feature full cover bands and acoustic duos playing rock blues and classic hits with no cover charge for entry.
Atmosphere and Amenities
The venue holds over 100 guests and features an outdoor bar area. Reviewers highlight the never-a-cover-fee policy attentive bartenders and an owner who is often on hand greeting patrons. Some reviews note the restrooms are limited for a room of its size so weekend nights can get busy.
Practical Information
Prohibition is a Music Venue category business on Long Island and as of the most recent listings remains open and active with a full weekly events calendar. The kitchen stays open during live music making it a good stop for food drinks and entertainment any night of the week.
