Our Story

When the concept of a prohibition era themed whiskey lounge and Kitchen for the historic downtown Riverside community was conjured, it was imagined to be a classic yet contemporary venue for all to come and enjoy. The “classic resonates in our cocktails, décor, and nightly entertainment, while the contemporary shines through our carefully crafted menu that fuses international flavors.

The difficulty of harmonizing the contrasting qualities in our restaurant underscores the arduous task of encapsulating that concept in one word or symbol. So we chose to do both, hence, PROABITION. The upside-down A in our “play on words is a mathematical symbol, which means “for all.” We found it quite appropriate, as mathematics is the universal language understood and spoken by all in terrestrial nature, music, and the cosmos.

In combining classic cocktails, décor, and entertainment with a contemporary menu in a venue meant to be enjoyed for all; PROABITION invites you to raise a glass to celebrating old standards and creating new ones.
