Serve your time
There’s no special treatment for the birthday boy or girl here! Once you enter Alcotraz London, you’ll be locked up with your fellow inmates, ready to party in the bar behind bars. But the story doesn’t stop there, as our longest-serving inmates are running a notorious bootlegging gang – which you’ll be invited to join, if you dare! Sneak in your favourite liquor and our inmates will serve you delicious cocktails as you serve your time.
Your mission
Conspire with the coolest person on the block – Inmate Cassidy – to smuggle in your alcoholic contraband without alerting the fearsome Warden. Get creative with your smuggling and conspire with your inmates to avoid getting caught!
The guards are crooked
Don’t forget there’s an ace up your sleeve – the guards are crooked and on your side! Trust our guards and they’ll help you smuggle in your contraband as they sign you in and give you your jumpsuits.
Just watch out for the Warden
The Warden is your only obstacle, but they crack down hard on rulebreakers. Make sure you hide your contraband well and use your organisation, communication and creative skills to outwit them. Alcotraz is all about teamwork and adapting quickly to unexpected plot twists in your storyline. With any luck, you’ll be able to stay one step ahead – or even run the block!

FAQs
Your birthday sentence will last 1 hour and 45 minutes. During this time, you’ll don your prison jumpsuit, smuggle in your contraband, conspire with fellow inmates, and enjoy delicious cocktails – all while evading the watchful eye of the Warden!
We would recommend light clothing because you’ll be given an orange prison jumpsuit to wear whilst serving your sentence. Whilst dresses and skirts aren’t ideal, they can be tucked in if necessary.
All inmates are welcome! We provide prison jumpsuits in a wide range of sizes – from XS to 4XL – to ensure that everyone feels comfortable during their sentence. You can also get creative with how you wear your jumpsuit, such as by tying the arms around your waist.
Alcotraz tickets are £42.50, plus a £3.80 booking fee. This price includes approximately four personalised cocktails made with your smuggled-in liquor, plus a fully immersive experience involving highly talented actors, unique storylines and impressive set design.
Your mission is to smuggle in the alcohol, but we’ll provide cocktail mixers, liqueurs, bitters and syrups (included in your ticket price) to create delicious cocktails with your contraband.
It’s your birthday, so sneak in whatever you want! Our talented bartenders work best with spirits, but they can create delicious drinks from a huge range of ingredients – including wine or beer.
Alcotraz accommodates both boozy and sober nights out. Non-drinkers don’t need to smuggle in any contraband, and you’ll receive four expertly crafted mocktails instead during your sentence – all included in the ticket price! You’ll still be fully involved and immersed in the prison storyline, so this shouldn’t impact your overall experience.
Whether you’re hosting a big birthday bash or an intimate celebration with a couple of friends, we’ve got you covered here at Alcotraz London. There’s no minimum group size, but we have a maximum group size of 30 for a public experience. For groups with 30+ guests, you can privately hire the venue.
For small groups, we will do our best to ensure you have your own cell, but this isn’t always possible. Cells can seat a maximum of 6 or 7 guests, so if you have a larger group, we will do our best to seat you in adjacent or opposite cells.
