Prohibition - Private Cigar Lounge
The Prohibition Era
The Prohibition Era from 1920 to 1933 in the U.S., prohibited the production, importation, transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages. The Volstead Act, enacted in 1919, was a U.S. law that provided for the enforcement of the 18th Amendment, which established Prohibition in the U.S. Prohibition ended with the ratification of the 21st Amendment which repealed the 18th Amendment on December 5, 1933.
History
It's difficult to draw conclusions about Prohibition's impact on crime at the national level, as there were no uniform national statistics gathered about crime prior to 1930.
Organized crime received a major boost from Prohibition such as crime that tripled in Chicago tripled during Prohibition. Mafia groups, other criminal organizations, and gangs had mostly limited their activities to prositution, gambling and theft until 1920, when organized "rum-running" or bootlegging emerged in response to Prohibition.
Prohibition ultimately failed to achieve its goal to curb social problems associated with alcohol consumption and was repealed in 1933 due to widespread disregard for the law, the rise of organized crime, and the economic hardship it caused.
Why Prohibition? Why now? Why in Downtown Corpus Christi?
The Prohibition Era was a time in America that brought many challenges and helped shaped the way the U.S. is run today with bars, restaurants, law enforcement, and the liquor industry.
We created Prohibition to give homage to this era & beyond and to provide our members with a safe, classic, upscale, and timeless cigar lounge. We realized the local Cigar Society didn't have a place to call their own. Therefore, we took the liberty to fill that void for like-minded people.
Downtown Corpus Christi is the heart & soul of the city and we want to evolve with it, while honoring our past. We desired to create a place where other Cigar enthusiasts could safely smoke cigars indoors, relax, and socialize in peace.
We hope Prohibition becomes your home away from home and a place for business, pleasure, and relaxation come together in the heart of Downtown.
