Theatrical Cocktail Experience for Two at Alcotraz, The Prison Cocktail Bar
Overview
Don your orange jumpsuit, hide your liquor and dive headfirst into life behind bars, at this unique immersive theatrical experience.
Hidden in London and Brighton you’ll find Cell Blocks of Alcotraz Penitentiary, a secret prison home to speakeasy cocktail bars. With the help of Alcotraz’s team, put your stealth skills to the test and successfully smuggle your own liquor past the Warden and into your cell.
Once behind bars, you’ll meet the inmates, who’ve spent plenty of time wising up in the art of mixology. They’ll serve you a range of delicious, personalised cocktails with their secret supply of liqueurs, homemade bitters, fruit and syrups. Just avoid the beady eye of the Warden! Get ready for a night of thrills, with plenty of your favourite flavours thrown in too.
Following the recent outbreak, The Wardens have re-developed the prison to ensure maximum security for inmates and staff. Grab your gang, sit in your own private cell and safely enjoy this unique cocktail experience.

Really fun couple of hours
Thankfully got to use this gift before lockdown2!! The actors are all committed to their roles of warden/ guards. Cells depend on how many their are in your group, I think we did have the tiniest one. Cocktails are delicious but everyone gets the same so don’t bring something expensive thinking you’ll get to chose & have them made with that.

An amazing theatrical cocktail experience. Had a blast here with my husband, the actors do such a great job. 'Smuggle' your own booze past the warden and submerge yourself into prison life!

Alcotraz - great fun
Our son bought the experience s a Xmas present last year - just got round to doing it. Well organised and Covid-safe. Good humour and the Warden and Guard actors were great - remembered our inmate nicknames and adapted to the cheeky comments we dared to throw their way. Got a really good cocktail mixer top smuggle us what was declared as Chicken soup - in our case, was Kracken rum in a Dark n Stormy cocktail. Thoroughly enjoyed the session :-)

Really good fun
Alcotraz is a fun few hours to have with friends, where cocktails are brought to you using the alcohol you smuggled in! The set up to cope with Covid is brilliant we felt totally safe. The actors really go for it which is waht makes the whole experience. Prepare yourself for drinking laughing and a little bit of acting from you too!!

So much fun, as long as you play along!
I didn't know what to expect going in so was a little nervous. We waited outside to be greeted by a guard, who was in character from the start. She was full of energy, getting everyone prepared for the fun ahead. We snuck in our booze and were brought our first cocktail which was delicious. Later we met the warden and several different sequences played out with more drinks and a lot of laughs. We really enjoyed it, the actors were brilliant and stayed in character the whole time. Great evening!

An unexpected brilliant night
I genuinely wasn’t expecting much more than just being put in a cell and overalls with cocktails, but what a spectacular night! It was one of the best nights I’ve ever had! The actors, the experience, absolutely everything was amazing! We are already planning on bringing all of our friends back! Thank you :)

Great Evening
Fantastic evening bought for a friend's birthday. Staff/actors were excellent, very convincing! Great fun night. Only downside, would have liked to have been asked about preferences for cocktail ingredients as all ours were not very sweet - but that may just be personal preferences. Would definately return!

Prison life, my favourite way to get drunk!
I cannot praise this experience more highly! I wasn’t too sure what to expect upon arrival but was quickly impressed, not only did we get some fab drinks but a whole load of laughs and an experience that will never be forgotten! Big shout out to “Warden Gordon”, “Lesby Ann” and the innate who made the drinks for making the experience so unforgettable. It turns out that you can smuggle alcohol into a prison just don’t get caught as you don’t want to get taken down to the hole.. Can I get an amen!

Amazing experience!
I went to Shoredith Location with 3 friends and it was amazing! The actors are really good and they create an amazing atmosphere and very realistic! The prison is amazing and the drinks were just great! The only thing I would change is that concktaols comes really quick one after anither and some of friends theybwere stryggling to finish them all before leaving! However evry single one of then were so tasty! I would xome back for sure! Thanks to the prison warden and our guard Phil! Amazing! :)

Unexpectedly great day!!
My boyfriend and I went to Covent Garden and I can honestly say I cannot fault the actors or the experience, it was bloody brilliant and it was such a laugh. Didn’t know what to expect apart from we had cocktails made for us from the alcohol we bought ourselves to “smuggle” in and they were delicious! Overall, amazing and I’m not the type of person to leave a review unless it really deserved it.

Hands down the best night I’ve had in a long time!
Was a bit sceptical when we arrived as from outside it looked very uninviting but from the minute the doors were opened we and the guard stepped out it was absolutely amazing! I won’t spoil the fun for you but every member of staff played their part perfectly and we laughed from start to finish whilst enjoying the most beautifully made cocktails. If like me you enjoy prisons and alcohol this is one not to be missed!!!
