Alcotraz Prison Cocktail Experience in Manchester

Overview

1 hour 45 minutes

Mobile ticket

Inspired by Hollywood Movies and TV that have brought to life America's infamous prison stories, Alcotraz is London's first immersive theatrical cocktail bar. From the orange jumpsuits upon entrance, to the real metallic cells, Alcotraz becomes the perfect backdrop to a drink within an epic yet intimate environment. You won’t find a set menu of drinks here…after all, it is prison! The working inmates of Alcotraz will be serving unique, personalised cocktails behind bars using the liquor that visiting convicts will have smuggled in and your personal tastes. As new inmates you can expect to see your illegally smuggled liquor combined with liqueurs, bitters and homemade syrups to make bespoke, contemporary and classic cocktails perfect for your time behind bars. Be as creative as you can with your attempts to smuggle-in liquor. Alternatively, Inmate Cassidy has got the Guards on your side who have their own system for hiding contraband. Just make sure the Warden doesn’t catch you.

We visited for our Christmas party and it was brilliant. The actors are great and stay in character all times, we loved all of the 'soups' that we tried and thought it was great value for money. The cell block, wardens office and general setting was ace. We had so much fun... Thanks!

Great experience, fun night. A little too much searing for my taste. But all in all a good night.. Good atmosphere and just the right amount of people.
