Prohibition-Era Charm in Modern Times
ProAbition Restaurant by Davis Ink, located in the historic downtown Riverside community of Los Angeles, California, captures the essence of the Prohibition era while embracing contemporary culinary trends. The establishment is designed as a whiskey lounge and kitchen, blending the classic allure of vintage cocktails, décor, and nightly entertainment with a modern, internationally inspired menu.
A Play on Words with a Deeper Meaning
The name “ProAbition” is a clever wordplay, featuring an upside-down “A” symbol that represents the mathematical concept “for all.” This symbol reflects the restaurant’s mission to create an inclusive space where everyone can enjoy the harmonious blend of old and new.

Raise a Glass to New Standards
ProAbition invites patrons to celebrate the timeless appeal of classic standards while embracing the excitement of new culinary innovations.
