Bar Prohibition!
The Golden Gate's original bar has been renamed Bar Prohibition! It had no official name before.
It also added several new drinks to its menu, all of which are served in a coffee mug to honor its Prohibition theme.
The rebranding comes on the heels of a $15 million renovation of the downtown resort.
Bar Prohibition! is open 24 hours. The Golden Gate has two outside bars, as well.
