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.

I'd quite like to go to prison if it was like that.

Thought it was a lot of money to begin with BUT it was worth every penny. The venue setting as very apt, the guards warden characters were brilliant and impromptu with a very quick memory etching in yourselves into the plot. Don't know what they do to the cocktails as I've never really liked them, well, I could drink them all day everyday and quite happily become an alcoholic. Funny brilliant welcoming.
Fabulous

Actors were good, Just about the right length of time. We had a fun night What would have been good is a bar area where you could stay for another hour after and have your drinks made with the rest of your alcohol, even if it cost a bit more.
Alcotraz is Amazing

This is a brilliant experience. My daughter bought me this as a present and from booking to leaving, the whole team are helpful. On the night we were given our prison jumpsuits and told the rules! The story, characters and setting are perfect and there are even little tasks to try and complete. Shout out to Squid, (who we renamed Calamari on the night) doing his penance on the bar, his cocktails were amazing. Each one bespoke made to your taste and they just kept arriving. Hats of to the whole team - wonderful fun and experience!
Brilliant night
