A bar with a twist
Hidden behind unassuming shutters, you’ll never assume what’s going on beyond the doors of this discreet spot. Walk in casually, as though you’re just here for a quiet drink, but when you enter, leave the real world behind as you find yourself slipping through metal detectors and getting locked inside a penitentiary. Say goodbye to friends or colleagues, your companions are now your fellow inmates.

If you like cocktail bars and you like escape rooms, this experience takes things up a notch on both, with trained actors who will put on an incredible show for you – no two nights at Alcotraz are ever the same. Mingle with the guards or the warden, and if you’re planning an escape or you’re compelled to plot against the establishment, gather in your cells and chat. There are missions to get involved in, and seriously cool plot lines to get in the middle of.
The UK’s longest-running immersive experience
With six locations in the UK, this is London’s longest-running immersive experience for a reason – there’s nothing quite like Alcotraz. Whether you’re looking to bond with colleagues over a Christmas party that’s not just dinner and drinks, or hang out with friends and step away from the ordinary, Alcotraz has something for everyone.
The great part about this experience is that you can completely make it your own.

Bespoke drinks for the group
The experience is great for drinkers and non-drinkers alike. If you like your cocktails, “smuggle” in your spirits and the mixologists at ‘the bar-behind-the-bars’ will craft delicious bespoke cocktails for you (not your average prison experience). And, of course, there will be mocktails prepared for those who’d rather not drink. It is recommended to pick base spirits like vodka, gin, rum, tequila, or whisky, and remember to bring only new, sealed bottles. All the bitters, purees, juices, syrups, liqueurs and other ingredients that go into making cocktails are included with your entry price.

A one-of-a-kind experience
Alcotraz is perfectly suited for big or small groups and there are options for private hire for groups over 30. For smaller groups, you can book the experience online, and choose if you’d like to bring your own liquor or opt for the all-inclusive package. Plus, you can go ahead and book a longer experience that has a food menu you can get with the private hire option.
Mischief and notoriety await, in a prison experience that you won’t actually want to break out of.
