If you’ve ever popped into Prohibition Gin for a cheeky after-work G&T or spent an afternoon enjoying the best of the best with your crew, this Easter is your moment to do it one more time, all while raising a glass to what’s next.
The much-loved Adelaide distillery is inviting locals in for a final weekend of walk-in drinks at its Gilbert Street venue, before pressing pause on casual bar service and stepping into a fresh new phase for the business.
The move is a strategic and positive shift for the brand, as the team refocuses on the parts of the business that continue to grow and evolve. Like many in hospitality, Prohibition has been navigating rising costs and changing customer habits, but rather than scaling back, they’re choosing to adapt.
“Like so many others, we’re feeling the impact of the rising cost of doing business,” said Co-founder Adam Carpenter. “After a lot of thought, we’ve found the best way forward is to pause walk-in service at the city premises. It’s not a decision we’ve taken lightly, but it’s the right one to protect our team, our product, our shareholders and our future.”
The Gilbert Street venue isn’t going anywhere. Moving forward, the venue will operate as a dedicated events space, continuing to host the tastings, celebrations and private functions it’s become known for over the years.
Throughout this time, Prohibition is doubling down on other areas of the business, including its online store, external festivals and pop-ups, wholesale partnerships, and a measured approach to exports.
A big part of that future sits at its stunning Seppeltsfield distillery, where production, bottling and visitor experiences are the priority. The recently renovated space is fast becoming a must-visit destination, offering gin lovers a more immersive, behind-the-scenes connection to the brand, while also serving as a premium setting for gala events, weddings and private functions.
For now, the focus is on celebrating the Gilbert Street chapter and all the moments that helped shape Prohibition into one of Adelaide’s most recognisable gin brands.
“We’d love people to come in, raise a glass with us, and celebrate this chapter,” shared Adam. “And we want our community to stay close, because there’s so much more to come as part of the Prohibition family.”
So, consider this your sign to head in for one last time before they call stumps on walk-in service after Easter Sunday and toast to the next era of Prohibition, because this story is far from over.
