If you’re looking for a night out that’s completely different from anything you’ve tried before, Alcotraz is an absolute must. This immersive cocktail experience brilliantly blends theatre, comedy, suspense, and mixology into one unforgettable evening behind bars.
Alcotraz Cell Block Three-Six
From the moment you arrive at Alcotraz, you’re plunged straight into the world of contraband smuggling and prison roleplay. Guests bring their own alcohol, which instantly becomes “contraband” that you must sneak past the guards with the help of a few shady (and very entertaining) prison staff. This alone sets the tone for the fun that follows!
Join the Cassidy Gang
After years of dodging the law, infamous moonshiner Clyde Cassidy and his gang of bootleggers finally met their match. Their decade-long reign as America’s most notorious liquor smugglers came to an end when they were locked away for life inside the newly formed Alcotraz Penitentiary.
Little is known about this mysterious prison — its true operations are kept tightly under wraps by a handful of Government Officials. What is rumoured, however, is that Alcotraz has multiple hidden Cell Blocks scattered across the country, each one housing the nation’s most dangerous and troublesome criminals.
But even behind bars, old habits die hard. The Cassidy gang have managed to corrupt several guards on the inside, bribing them to help fresh inmates sneak contraband liquor past the ever-watchful Warden.
The only question now is…
Are you brave enough to join the Cassidy crew and smuggle booze into Alcotraz?
An Interactive Attraction
Once inside, you’re issued an orange jumpsuit and assigned your prison cell, a great photo moment and a big part of the immersion. You hand over your alcohol to the kitchen staff, who craft four creative cocktails for you throughout your stay using whatever you’ve brought along. The drinks are consistently impressive, and watching the staff stay in character while making them adds to the charm.
The experience is filled with unexpected moments, including the loud sirens that sound whenever the warden is on the way. When that happens, all prisoners must stay completely silent, a rule that leads to plenty of laughter and tension as the warden stalks through the cell block delivering sharp lines.
Encouraging Interaction
Throughout the evening, you’ll take part in mini tasks, visit different areas like the laundry room, and even find yourself summoned to the warden’s office to try your luck at securing parole. It’s all part of the storyline, and the actors fully commit, making every interaction believable and genuinely entertaining.
By the end of your sentence, any leftover alcohol is handed back, and you walk out with great memories, plenty of laughs, and maybe even a newfound appreciation for staying on the right side of the law!
