Unique Date Nights in Bristol
Looking for a truly unique date night? Something completely different than a trip to the cinema or bowling? How does smuggling your own booze behind bars followed by bespoke, handmade cocktails sound to you? Whether it’s your third or 30th date, a trip through the metal detectors and into Alcotraz is guaranteed to keep things fresh, exciting and intriguing.
A date with a difference
Skip the awkward small talk of a first date, and get right into the nitty gritty with a date night behind bars. You and your partner in crime will be led through the metal detectors and handed your orange jumpsuits, you’ll be given your mission of smuggling the booze of your choice past the Warden and into your jail cells. Once inside, your liquor will be used to craft delicious and bespoke cocktails just for you to enjoy.
Perfect for non-drinkers
If neither you or your date is a fan of drinking, not to worry. Alcotraz ticks the boxes for drinkers and teetotalers alike, because we’re so much more than a bar – with something for everyone to enjoy!
From the moment you and your date step inside you’ll become fully immersed in a story that will play out before your very eyes. Everyone “working” in the penitentiary – the guards and the Warden are all trained actors who will put on an incredible show for you both. Whether you’d prefer to stay in your cells and get to know one another or plot against the Warden, there’s nowhere quite like Alcotraz for a quirky date night.

FAQs
For processing and conviction, we recommend that you wear light clothing as you will be required to wear a standard-issue Alcotraz orange jumpsuit (provided) for the duration of your stay.
Your experience will last 1 hour 45 minutes, and inmates will be provided with their own orange jumpsuit for the duration of their time behind bars.
If attending as a couple we will do our best to ensure that you are kept separate from others but on occasion this is not always possible and there is a chance that you may end up within the same cell as another couple or small group.
Our standard-issue Alcotraz jumpsuits cater to all inmates, with sizes ranging from XS to 4XL. Please note that you are free to wear your jumpsuit as you wish to make it more comfortable, such as tying the arms around your waist.
The inmates you come across behind bars are highly skilled mixologists, and they work best with smuggled spirits. But, if you prefer wine or beer, this can also be served to you… If you can get it past the Warden.
We recommend 1 x 35cl of base spirit per couple.
If drinking isn't your thing, don't worry. The Alcotraz experience is exactly the same for non-drinkers as a huge part of your time behind bars is the immersive storyline that unfolds around you where you can interact with the storylines and the actors. For those not drinking liquor, there is no need to smuggle anything in and instead, you will receive x 4 expertly crafted mocktails included within the ticket price!
No not at all, the experience is great for both couples and groups.
Our Bristol Cell Block is fully wheelchair accessible. If you’re attending with a wheelchair user, please contact us after your booking with your booking number.
