Alcotraz Prison Cocktail Experience in Manchester
Manchester, United Kingdom
1 hour 45 minutes
What You Will Do
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.

Disgusting way to treat people & customers.
3 days after the event I am still upset by how we were treated.
It is ok for the “acting staff” to stereotype Americans & verbally abuse the guests.
We were called a bunch of geeks/nerds & an inappropriate comment was made about a member of my groups lip piercing.
It is not ok for customers to attempt to get involved with the so called “story”, if you do the manager makes up a lie that they have heard you make an abusive comment on the CCTV and you will be asked to leave. Security were even called!
Never in my life have I been treated so badly by an establishment.
This is not an isolated incident looking at the other reviews. To make up lies about customers is absolutely disgusting.
Aside from the above this is not an interactive or immersive experience. You basically sit in a small cell where you are served the alcohol that you’ve taken in with you, whilst paying for the privilege.
There are plenty of better options available whilst in Manchester so avoid this one!
