A bit of history

The bar is inspired by the Prohibition era (1920-1933) in the United States, when the sale of alcohol was illegal. Speakeasies, secret bars where people could drink, flourished during this time. 'Prohibicija' recreates this clandestine atmosphere in Belgrade, a city with its own rich history of underground culture.
