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.

5.00My friend and I attended The Alcatraz Experience last night and had the best time! It was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. The actors were absolutely brilliant, especially the Warden (Lauren), who really brought the story to life. The cocktails were delicious, and we were definitely well looked after all evening 😋 I’d 100% go again and will be recommending it to all my friends and family!
Absolutely fantastic

5.00Had a brilliant time at Alcotraz in Manchester. First time in an immersive theatre setting and it didn't disappoint. The actors were brilliant and the whole show is hilarious. There's a bit of swearing but it fits with the characters. The way the actors adapt and improvise is fantastic and we never stopped laughing. Special mention to the governor who was so funny. Highly recommended.
Fab date night
