Unique Date Nights in Cardiff
Skip the awkward small talk and go straight for a date night you’ll be recounting for years to come. Don your orange jumpsuits, hide your booze and slip past the Warden; once safely seated in your cell, the “serving” inmates will deliver delicious cocktails crafted from your smuggled contraband. Welcome to Alcotraz, for a date night in Cardiff like no other.
A date with a difference
If you want a date night in Cardiff that you’ll never forget, you’ve certainly come to the right place. Your challenge for the evening is to smuggle the liquor of your choice past the watchful eyes of the Warden and into the hands of Alcotraz’s mixologists, who will use your contraband to serve your bespoke cocktails. We’re here when dinner and drinks just doesn’t cut it.
Perfect for non-drinkers
Not every date needs to involve drinking; Alcotraz is perfect for those who like a tippler and teetotalers alike. Because we’re so much more than a bar – offering an immersive and theatrical experience that everyone can enjoy, and that you won’t find anywhere else.
From the moment you enter, you’ll become a part of the Alcotraz storyline, because everyone from the Warden to the guards are trained actors whose job it is to put on a heck for a show for you and your date to enjoy. You’ll be served delicious mocktails for no extra charge, and you decide how much you get involved, whether you’d prefer to sip in your cells or plot against the Warden – the choice is yours.
Venue Hire
Perfect for the ultimate lock-in, hire an Alcotraz Cell Block, giving you and your fellow convicts the chance to exclusively experience life behind bars.

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 Cardiff Cell Block is fully wheelchair accessible. If you’re attending with a wheelchair user, please contact us after your booking with your booking number.
