Why go
Inlet Prohibition Company is a practical Murrells Inlet choice when the group wants an easy local meal rather than a heavily planned special-occasion restaurant. It is harder to assess for cuisine, price, or awards because those details are not verified, so cross-shop Hot Fish Club or Gulfstream Cafe if you need a clearer coastal dining profile before committing.
About Inlet Prohibition Company
Inlet Prohibition Company is a Murrells Inlet venue with a casual dress code and hours from 11:30 AM to 9 PM Monday through Saturday; it is closed on Sunday. It is a practical option rather than a restaurant to choose on the strength of documented awards, named dishes, chef pedigree, pricing, or a clearly defined cuisine category.
That limited public detail matters for planning. For comparison, you might also look at Hot Fish Club or Gulfstream Cafe, or consider other dining in and around Murrells Inlet according to the kind of meal you want.
A practical Murrells Inlet option when flexibility matters
The schedule is a key planning point: Inlet Prohibition Company is open from 11:30 AM to 9 PM Monday through Saturday, with Sunday closed. That gives diners a broad same-day window on most days of the week, especially for casual plans that do not depend on a documented tasting menu, published price tier, or formal service cues.
For a relaxed get-together, the casual dress code and Murrells Inlet location are the clearest signals. For a more specifically defined meal, compare it with another option such as California Dreaming, Gulfstream Cafe, or Hot Fish Club.
Who should choose it, and who should cross-shop
Choose Inlet Prohibition Company if the group wants a casual Murrells Inlet option with Monday-through-Saturday hours and does not need details on cuisine, pricing, awards, or service style before deciding. Cross-shop if the meal is a milestone dinner where those details matter in advance.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Inlet Prohibition Company leans into a coastal, unpretentious energy that feels very much of the Marshwalk. The name winks at Prohibition-era history and gives Inlet Prohibition Company a grounded, historic character. At the same time the setting (sand, salt air and the steady flow of foot traffic along the inlet) keeps things relaxed and scenic. Expect a laid-back, informal room where seafood and spirits meet local lore rather than a highly polished dining theater.
Best For
This is a spot built for relaxed, sociable evenings along the Marshwalk: groups of friends stopping in for drinks, families grazing on seafood plates, and visitors chasing authentic Low-Country coastal flavors. The venue’s place in the inlet’s drinking scene makes it a natural after-work or casual-night destination, and plates range from shareable bar bites to heartier entrees. Seafood lovers who appreciate local sourcing and a venue that nods to regional history will find it especially appealing for dinner and informal gatherings.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the signature seafood and shareable items listed: the flash-fried shrimp with Bourbon BBQ sauce and smoked wings make approachable starters, while the Lobster Bomb and blackened mahi-mahi with creamy grits read as mains built around coastal ingredients. Beer short ribs and the chicken pot pie show the menu’s range of hearty options. Given the venue’s social, bar-focused setting, order a few plates to share so the table can sample multiple highlights from the kitchen.

Restaurant context
How it compares in Murrells Inlet
Inlet Prohibition Company is the flexible pick when ease matters more than a clearly defined dining lane. Hot Fish Club is the stronger choice for a more established Murrells Inlet seafood meal, while Gulfstream Cafe is the better cross-shop when ambiance is a bigger part of the decision.
For value planning, Inlet Prohibition Company is harder to judge because verified pricing is not listed. If the group wants Italian instead of a Murrells Inlet casual meal, compare Malibu Of Surfside Italian Restaurant and Casa Calamari. If a broader, familiar dinner format is safer for mixed tastes, California Dreaming is the more conventional alternative.
The practical verdict: choose Inlet Prohibition Company for an easy local plan, Hot Fish Club for a more seafood-centered Murrells Inlet meal, Gulfstream Cafe for a stronger setting-driven night, and the out-of-metro peers when the group wants a different cuisine direction.
