Moonshine Concerts 2024-2025

Great little basement club. Bar staff very friendly and helpful. Been here for Southern Exposure club nights.

Really realllyyy terrible security guards they didn’t check our bags . Got kicked out because my friend threw up IN the toilet?? I don’t even know WHY but this security guard literally tried to trip me up. Weirdos

Very cool tribute band, toilets were a little flooded but honestly not too bad.

Love this place, I love my house music, SternsRaversReunion & Southern Exposure have hosted here with some top top Dj's.

The most incredible experience I've had in Portsmouth. Finding the Prohibition is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Me and my friend was walking along the beach feeling lost about where to go for a drink, we determined that Portsmouth has a lot of pubs and clubs which is just not comfortable for us anymore. Clubs are too much energy, and pubs have been rinsed out of any soul or passion only purposed for convenience. We looked online on my phone for "jazz bars" and was advertised moonshine nightclub & prohibition bar. We was going to go home and drink there instead but we decided to be adventerous. We stumbled upon the bar, and felt curious and uncertain if we actually found the place. Being difficult to find; we eventually walked in through the door and down the steps realising we found our first genuine speak easy. I'll spare the details of what the place looked like as you should experience it yourself, I will only say that the decor is genuinely authentic and indistinguishable to a 1920s lounge. The night was filled with laughs and passion. We spoke to Alex the cocktail master as we went through the entire menu. He explained to us drink by drink about how he made it, what he made it with, what inspired him and the history of how he got his ideas. He truly is an incredible person to meet, clearly destined for success due to his unrelenting passion for bartending! The staff are really lovely and just as passionate, the chef made our charcuterie and came out to say hello with a big grin on her face, and we chat plenty with "loz" a charismatic lady who made us laugh and helped me and my friend feel like we could express ourselves. We felt like we were home being well looked after by close friends. The cocktails are expensive but it is utterly paramount to note that the cocktails are not over-priced, but in fact are under-priced. To have the chance to experience something that is meticulously made with love and passion, untouched by the restrictions of the demographic is a rare commodity. I will cherish and support this establishment for years to come!
