Date night activities in London
Whether it’s a first date or a special anniversary, Alcotraz London is the perfect spot for a pair of fun-loving criminals eager to put their skills to the test. After all, what better way to get to know your date than by becoming cell mates and conspirators against the system?
Serve your time
Once you bring your date inside, there’s no turning back. Enter a thrilling world of mischief, as you and your date become part of a notorious bootlegging prison gang, bent on smuggling in liquor and serving your sentence with cleverly crafted, bespoke cocktails.
Your mission
You and your date have just one mission – don’t let the Warden catch you. Work together to outsmart them, using your wits to hide your smuggling operation, all with a little help from the coolest inmate on the block.
The guards are crooked
Our guards are just as crooked as your crimes. They’ll check you in, hand out your prison-issue jumpsuits, and assist with smuggling in your contraband… as long as you keep them on your side.
Just watch out for the Warden
The Warden’s always on the lookout, hunting for any contraband. You’ll need sharp ideas, quick distractions, and fast thinking to stay one step ahead at all times. With a little teamwork, you could be running the block by the time your sentence is up.
Immersive date night behind bars
Drawing inspiration from Hollywood prison dramas, Alcotraz London offers an unforgettable, immersive experience for your London date night. More than just a themed cocktail bar, it blends immersive theatre with a world-class cocktail experience – perfect for couples who enjoy using their creativity to shape the story whilst having a blast along the way.
With high spirits and plenty of “hooch” to go around, you’ll adopt a prison alter-ego (or even get to play a unique Alcotrax character) and get inventive as you try to smuggle your liquor past the ever-watchful Warden to the cocktail-making convicts. It’s a night full of fun, suspense, and surprises, making it the ideal adventurous date! There’s more going on at Aloctraz than what meets the eye, so we suggest keep yours wide open…
What to expect
At Alcotraz London, you and your date will dive into an exhilarating prison storyline, becoming inmates in a one-of-a-kind immersive experience.
This isn’t your typical date night activity. Alcotraz invites couples to break away from the ordinary, plotting against the Warden, smuggling contraband, and savouring expertly crafted cocktails behind bars.
With everything from playful missions to personalised plot twists, Alcotraz throws you right into the action, where you and your date are part of the unfolding story. Talented performers guide your journey, and each cocktail smuggled past the guards heightens the thrill.
Prepare to escape the everyday and immerse yourselves in an unforgettable night in a prison you’ll be talking about long after your release.
Special Add-On
Make the experience extra memorable by surprising your date by assigning them the character of the Janitor, and watch them play out an integral part of the immersive storyline. Whilst it may appear this individual draws the short straw, it may just be they have the key to help all the inmates escape once and for all.
Includes their own costume pieces during the show.

FAQs
For your prison processing and conviction, we recommend wearing light clothing, as you'll be issued an Alcotraz orange jumpsuit (provided) to wear throughout your sentence. Whilst dresses and skirts aren’t ideal, they can be tucked in if necessary.
Your immersive date night sentence will last 1 hour and 45 minutes, during which inmates will be provided with a prison-issued Alcotraz orange jumpsuit to wear while serving their time behind bars.
Our prison-issued Alcotraz jumpsuits come in sizes ranging from XS to 4XL, ensuring a fit for all inmates. The rules are flexible when it comes to how you wear your jumpsuit, so feel free to style it as you like, such as tying the arms around your waist.
Inmates are tasked with smuggling in their own liquor - one bottle per inmate, no matter the size - though cocktail mixers are provided on-site. If you're after a sober date night, feel free to sneak in some alcohol-free drinks or skip the smuggling altogether.
The seasoned inmates you'll meet behind bars are actually skilled mixologists, and they craft their best cocktails with smuggled spirits. However, if you or your date prefer wine or beer, you can sneak that in as well... if you can get it past the Warden.
Food is not provided during your immersive date night at Alcotraz, unless you're exclusively hiring the venue for a party of 30 or more. But honestly, who would want prison slop anyway?
Oh, it gets even better! Our cell block features a hidden bar with expert cocktail makers, ready to serve you and your date, tailoring drinks to your exact preferences. And, if you’re not into alcohol, don’t worry - we’ve got delicious mocktail recipes for your smuggled-in alcohol-free drinks (if you decide to bring anything at all).
Totally! Alcotraz London isn’t just perfect for date night activities - we also lock up Hens, Stags, birthdays, Christmas parties and even entire companies! It’s the ultimate adventure for a night out.
Not a drinker? No problem! The Alcotraz experience is just as exciting for non-drinkers. A big part of the fun is the immersive storyline unfolding around you, with plenty of opportunities to engage with the plot and actors. If you’re skipping the liquor, there's no need to smuggle anything in - just enjoy four expertly crafted mocktails, all included in the ticket price!
