Alcotraz: Immersive Cocktail Experience

 From the moment you step inside Alcotraz, you're transported into a thrilling, prison-themed world where alcohol is the number one contraband. You're checked into the prison, given an orange jumpsuit and shown to your cell to play inmate for the evening.

This unique cocktail bar offers an interactive experience like no other - as you're asked to smuggle in your own sealed alcohol past the warden and directly into your cell. The inmate mixologists transform your illegal hooch into four personalised and delicious cocktails over the course of the 1 hour and 45 minute experience. Each drink is a masterpiece, crafted with creativity and prison flair, using mixers and ingredients provided by the venue. 

While you drink your sorrows away, take in the ambiance behind prison bars, experiencing the dim lighting and enthralling storylines as you interact with the characters and fellow inmates. The experience is not just about the drinks; it's about the whole narrative as you delve deeper into the prison system. 

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or looking for a unique experience, Alcotraz promises to be an unforgettable night out. 

Spend some time behind bars at the best bar in town.
