Highlights
  • Rosewood Building - 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.
What's Included
  • Immersive theatre show
  • All ingredients for cocktails: liqueurs, bitters, syrups, purees (liquor not included)
What's Not Included
  • Please bring your own base spirit such as gin, rum, whisky if you are wishing to enjoy cocktails.
Additional Information

Alcotraz, London’s premier immersive theatrical cocktail bar, draws its inspiration from the infamous prisons of America as depicted by Hollywood films and television shows. Upon entering, guests are presented with authentic metallic cells and put on orange jumpsuits, setting the perfect atmosphere for a drink in a setting that manages to be both epic and personal. Visitors should not expect a standard drinks menu - this is a prison-themed bar after all! The prison’s ‘inmates’ will whip up unique, customised cocktails, using the spirits smuggled in by guests and aligning with their individual preferences. All ‘new inmates’ will see their covertly acquired alcohol mixed with liqueurs, bitters, and homemade syrups to create tailor-made, state-of-the-art and traditional drinks fitting for their ‘incarceration’. ‘Inmates’ are encouraged to employ their creativity to smuggle in alcohol. If you struggle with that, ‘Inmate Cassidy’ has bribed some Guards to help store your illicit goods. Careful not to get caught by the Warden though.

Lots of fun in prison - Loved the experience. Lots of fun, great set up and excellent cocktails. Really enjoyed having tasks given during the time in there. Two hours flew by and we want to do more immersive experiences like it in the future. Thanks to the team involved you were great

Good way to celebrate friend's birthday - Overall was a good experience, it was fun, enjoyed the immersive acting and drinks were great. Only complaints were that our group had 2 hen parties. They were both very loud and spoke over the actors, even though they ask you to stay quiet whilst they are performing. They were also so loud throughout that I couldn't hear what my friends sat opposite me in the cell were saying throughout the whole experience. Unfortunately this did ruin the immersive experience slightly for us, but I don't think this is a fair comment for Alcotraz overall as I just think we got unlucky having to share our booking with 2 large hen parties! Staff were kind and involved us where possible, coming over to speak to us in our cell. There are great bits to be involved with all the way through and is quite funny. We booked the basic package and honestly can't see what other groups who booked more expensive packages got more, other than their mugshot printed on card. I wouldn't say it's worth paying for any additionals.
