Now that the infamous lockdown restrictions are starting to be lifted, you are being presented with an increasingly-difficult choice when the weekend begins to inch ever-closer. Whilst there will likely be part of you that is content to stay at home and enjoy a few quiet drinks, another part will advocate that you have been doing this for the past year, and that now is the time to get out and live your life. Here at Alcotraz, we side with the latter line-of-thinking. In our opinion, a night out is always superior to remaining within the comfort of your own home, and our reasoning for this can be found down below.
Regardless of whether you are young or old, it is important that you set aside the necessary time to catch-up with friends. Socialising is a key part of anyone’s life, and you would do well to remember this. Keep in mind that there will be plenty of time for you to recharge your batteries at home, whilst the chances of seeing your loved ones will continue to decline. If you are someone that is within a tight social-circle, why not organise a night out for the coming weekend?
Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, we as a population have been forced to remain at home so as to try and prevent the virus from spreading. Thankfully, this is starting to come to an end, meaning that you are free to explore the world outside of your home. Therefore, we believe that rather than staring at the same walls that you have been trapped within for months on-end, you should grab at the opportunity to see new places, and enjoy immersive experiences.
No matter how much you try to meticulously plan a night out, the likelihood is that there will be something which causes the evening to take a different turn. This, however, should not cause you to second-guess whether or not your choice was the correct one. Instead, this offers you the chance to embrace the unknown. This may be the occasion that you meet your new best-friend, or you find a bar that will soon become your local drinking establishment – until you venture out, you don’t know what you may find.
If you watch some tutorials on the Internet, it is possible that you are able to concoct a cocktail that is, if not tasty, drinkable at the very least. However, these homemade drinks will pale in comparison to the ones that can be found when you visit professional bartenders at high-end bars and other nightlife establishments. If you are ready to try new things, it will not take long to discover beverages that set your mouth alight with intriguing and delicious flavours.
Who Are We?
Have you been trying to organise a cocktail experience with your closest friends, but have remained stuck on where you should book a table? Do you believe that you deserve to have a memorable night out, and subsequently are determined to discover a bar that will exceed all of your expectations? If you think that either of these statements apply to you, the likelihood is that the number that you need to call is 02031 090488. This will put you in touch with a member of the Alcotraz team. As a renowned themed bar based in the heart of London, we have everything you need to have a night that you won’t be forgetting in a hurry. With interesting drinks and exceptional actors, you can be rest-assured that it won’t be long before you’re back.
When you have been friends with someone for an extended period of time, trying to choose the perfect gift for their birthday should be relatively straightforward. However, in actual fact, this is an obstacle-laden process that can cause quite a few headaches; after all, you will have likely exhausted your list of good ideas. Here at Alcotraz, we offer gift vouchers to our customers, and we believe that this could prove to be the perfect solution. If you need any convincing as to why a nightlife gift card is a good idea, feel free to continue reading.
There are some gifts that are available which, although may seem like a good idea at the time, are a little restrictive. When you buy tickets for a particular event, for instance, you are making the assumption that the person that you are buying for will be available. If they are not, it can make for a rather awkward interaction, which is not a situation that you want to be faced with. In contrast to this, a gift-card usually has an array of potential dates, which will be greatly appreciated by the recipient.
Although some may argue that this is a point that mirrors the one that has been made above, we believe that it is one that is worth reinforcing. When you buy a gift card, you are allowing the recipient to choose when they would like to take advantage of it. Case-and-point, it could be that a few months down the line, they have received a promotion and want to celebrate in a special way – the experience that you have bought them will come in handy at times like this.
There are some people that believe that choosing a gift card is something of a cop-out; this is not an opinion that the Alcotraz team shares. After all, this is not an experience that you will be purchasing blindy. Before coming to a firm decision, you will have undoubtedly done a significant amount of research into what the package includes. Once you have concluded that this is in-line with what your recipient enjoys doing in their spare time, you can then proceed. There is, then, an element of thoughtfulness involved in purchasing a gift card.
In truth, there is no-shortage of bars and pubs that you can turn to when you are on the lookout for a first-class gift card experience. This is especially true if you are trying to find an establishment that is situated in London. That being said, you could do a lot worse than to put your faith in Alcotraz. With countless high-quality testimonials published on our dedicated Tripadvisor page, it should be clear that we are a themed bar that takes our entertainment work seriously.
If you have come to the realisation that rather than host a dinner party, or buy your friend a set of wine glasses, you would prefer to choose a gift card for them, you have come to the right place. Here at Alcotraz, we have made it our mission to offer an experience which takes the traditional cocktail party, and turns it on its head. Our bar, in case you didn’t know, is based upon the prison of the same name, and you can be sure that your friend will love each-and-every moment that they spend amongst our talented performers. If you would like to make an initial inquiry regarding our packages, we ask that you give us a call directly on 02031 090488.
When you have a friend’s birthday fast-approaching, it is only natural that you will want to go above-and-beyond to try and make the celebrations exceptional from a quality perspective. Unfortunately, this is a task which is easier said than done, not least due to the fact that there are numerous factors that you need to take into consideration. Thankfully, you do not have to shoulder the responsibility all by yourself. In Alcotraz, you have a themed bar which can offer you tips and tricks on how to organise the perfect night-out with immersive experiences in Brighton, Manchester and London.
Before you even get to the night-out itself, there needs to be a large amount of time devoted to planning. If you are in charge of organising your friend’s birthday, for instance, you will surely be aware of some of their favourite hobbies. Perhaps there is a particular sports team that they love; it could be that they are an avid fan of a certain television show. Whatever the case may be, we recommend that you try to incorporate this into the occasion. Outfits, for example, will be an excellent way for you all to bond.
Though you might originally think that an intimate group could heighten the birthday celebrations, we are of the opinion that ‘the more the merrier’ actually rings true. A birthday night out focuses on one person, and their life up until this point. In order to ensure that the individual in question is not disappointed, we suggest that you put together a rather large guest list. Once you have organised the venue hire, it could be worthwhile going down the surprise party route – the look on your friend’s face will be priceless, especially with an immersive experience in London, Manchester or Brighton to enjoy.
Though it is certainly true that you do not need alcohol to have a good time, there is nothing wrong with indulging on a birthday night-out. This is a time to splash out, and get out of your comfort zone. When you are organising, you may want to look and see if the cocktail menu lives up to expectations. Rather than restrict yourself to one-or-two options, try to make sure that there is a seemingly-endless list of drinks to choose from throughout your immersive experience in Manchester, London or Brighton. This will keep everyone happy, and can help to make-sure that everyone is kept smiling-and-satisfied as the night progresses.
When all is said-and-done, there is only one thing that truly matters in regards to first-class birthday celebrations, and that is laughter. This is a time that is meant to bring unbridled joy to everyone that is in attendance. In particular, the person whose birthday it is should be able to recall only positive elements of the day. Once the night-out comes to an end, you can sit back, full of food and drink, and think about the various memories that have been created, and have a huge grin on your face.
Have you been searching high-and-low for an immersive experience in London and Brighton which can accommodate large groups with ease, and has a track-record which ranks alongside the finest nightlife establishments in the city? If you find yourself in-need of a venue, the only name that you need to be aware of is that of Alcotraz. We are consistently praised for the level of excitement that we can generate amongst our guests, and we would love to do the same for you. If you wish to make an inquiry, your best-bet would be to give us a call on 02031 090488.
Over the past twelve months, it is perfectly understandable for you to have begun to miss the excitement and anticipation that is experienced in the build-up to a night out. The various lockdown restrictions that were imposed in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic have meant that you have had to make-do with drinking in the comfort of your own home. Thankfully, you can now start planning for the future. Below, the Alcotraz team have taken the liberty of highlighting the cities that you need to see for yourself.
When you are doing some research into possible destinations that can offer you a good time, do not be surprised when Brighton pops up as one of the first results – especially when it comes to immersive experiences for you to enjoy. Whether you are someone that appreciates the bitterness offered by an espresso martini, or you need somewhere that gives you 90 minutes to consume as much alcohol as you can, Brighton will more-than live up to your expectations. This is a city which takes pride in being able to cater to the needs of anyone-and-everyone, and this is not something to be taken for granted.
It would be impossible for us to talk about top-tier nightlife scenes within the UK without pausing to mention London and its range of immersive experiences. This, after all, is the capital of the country, and it more than lives up to its title in this regard. When the sun begins to go down, and the numerous skyscrapers begin to illuminate the skyline, we guarantee that you won’t be disappointed with the quality of experience that can be had. Cocktail masterclasses can be found scattered across the city, all of whom will be ready-and-waiting to stir-up some cocktails that will tingle your taste-buds.
Should you be sick-and-tired of visiting the same-old bars for cocktails, and wish to try something new, it could be worthwhile making your way over to Manchester. Part of what makes this such an appealing destination is that the possibilities are seemingly-endless. From dive-bars that are small and exclusive, to chain establishments that will provide you with all of the bar snacks that you could ever want – you are blessed with too many options to count. If you crave variety, Manchester may be the perfect city for you.
Although you might not realise it, there is one thing which all three of the cities that have been mentioned above all have in common. In each of them, you will be able to find a first-class Alcotraz establishment which offers immersive experiences for you to enjoy. Regardless of if you are in a large group, such as a hen party, that is committed to drinking cocktails all night long, or you are a couple that want to sample some premium spirits over a short period of time, you can be rest-assured that we won’t let you down. As far as cocktail bars go, we are by far-and-away one of the country’s leading authorities on the matter.
For those of you that are determined to enjoy a cocktail experience in Brighton, or one of the other cities that has made it onto this list, we promise that in Alcotraz, you have found the solution to all of your problems. Since we first opened for business, we have had the privilege of hosting thousands of customers, and we would love to have the opportunity to put a smile on your face with our immersive experiences. If you would like to look into the possibility of booking onto one of our sessions, we suggest that you call our support team today on 02031 090488 – they will do everything in their power to help you.
It is fair to say that immersive cocktail experiences are becoming increasingly popular in big cities like London and when you’re wanting to have an evening out, whether this is dinner or a few drinks and cocktails, you will be spoilt for choice if you’re looking to go somewhere slightly different. However, not all immersive experiences in London are the same and as you may expect, some are much more unique, interactive and enjoyable than others.
When you’re wanting to immerse yourself in a different world for an hour or two then, arguably, there is no better place to go than the Alcotraz Cell Block Two One Two prison which is hidden behind unassuming shutters on London’s famous Brick Lane. Alcotraz really is more than just another immersive cocktail experience in London and here’s why;
Whilst Alcotraz could simply be described as another unique cocktail bar, the fact that you have to bring your own liquor with you makes it so much more exciting. Once you’re convicted, you’re taken into an immersive world of mischief as you’re instructed by a notorious bootlegging gang to smuggle in liquor which will then be used to make your bespoke cocktails.
This is prison, so there isn’t a set drinks menu and the “serving” mixologists will provide you with a range of cocktails that are based on the liquor that you bring with you and your tastes. You can smuggle a 70cl bottle of vodka, gin, rum, tequila or whisky, for example, whichever is your tipple of choice and if you come in groups, you can even smuggle a few different bottles too.
Of course, you can’t go to prison without looking like an inmate, so before you enter Cell Block Two One Two you will be required to put on an orange inmates jumpsuit over your clothes to ensure that you’re easily identifiable to avoid escape until you’re released. You will then look the part of a convict as you spend your evening sipping cocktails.
You won’t just look the part, but you will also be taken into a realistic-looking old fashioned prison where you will spend your time in real metallic cells. Alcotraz really is a theatrical experience of the highest kind and it is more than just a themed cocktail bar. It combines the very best of immersive theatre with a world-class cocktail experience.
So many immersive cocktail experiences are over just as you’re beginning to enjoy them, but when you visit Cell Block Two One Two, you will have plenty of time to enjoy your surroundings. All sentences last 1 hour 45 minutes and the working inmates will smuggle you approximately 4 rounds of drinks within your time in prison. So, you will definitely get your money’s worth.
For bigger groups of up to 40 who are wanting to enjoy an immersive cocktail experience in London, you can even privately hire the whole prison. When doing so, our team of trained bootleggers can pre-arrange a secret stash of liquor hidden in your cells and our canteen can deliver food to your cells too. So, you can easily have an amazing time all together.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, going on a hen or stag do, mixing things up for date night or just looking for something fun to do, being locked behind bars at Cell Block Two One Two will be a quirky yet brilliant night out. This prison is undeniably the perfect backdrop to enjoy a few cocktails and you can guarantee that you will have an incredible time. So, don’t waste your money on any other immersive cocktail experiences in London.
To find out more about visiting Alcotraz, be sure to explore our website today. You can easily book a cell at our unique cocktail bar in London via our website, but if you have any questions at all about this immersive experience before doing so, feel free to contact us and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We can assure you that you won’t regret choosing Alcotraz when you want an immersive cocktail experience in London.
Before last year, you might have been someone that was prone to partying and making the most of the London nightlife. However, this will not have been possible over the past twelve months, with all of your favourite bars and pubs having closed due to the lockdown restrictions. This does not necessarily mean that you will have had to stop having fun – it just means that you need to change your course of action. Here at Alcotraz, we are firmly of the belief that you should give online cocktail ordering online; if you need any convincing of this, take a look at our thoughts below.
Priced Reasonably
One of the main reasons that people cite when asked as to why it is that they have avoided using a cocktail delivery service, is in relation to the price. A popular misconception is that these pre-mixed drinks are extortionate from a price perspective – we are pleased to inform you that this could not be further from the truth. Whilst the overall costs might be slightly more than it would be if you were making the cocktail at home from scratch, the convenience that this offers you, and the time that it can save you, will certainly outweigh this negative.
Delicious Flavours
When you are attempting to follow a cocktail recipe in the comfort of your own home, you might find that the final outcome is a little further away from the taste that you would have enjoyed in a dedicated cocktail bar. As you would expect, this is because you do not have the equipment or knowledge that is possessed by seasoned mixologists. Should you want to make sure that your taste buds aren’t forced to endure a sub-par experience, it could be worthwhile looking into the possibility of buying expertly-crafted cocktails.
Quick And Convenient
Whilst you may not be adverse to the possibility of creating your own cocktail, the issue that might cause you the most bother is in relation to the sheer amount of time that you must spend making them. This can certainly ruin the relaxing atmosphere that you are trying to create in your home. The best possible solution to this is to buy the cocktails ready-made. From a convenience point of view, this is second-to-none, and not something that you will want to miss out on.
Greater Choice
As is to be expected, the most-prominent benefit associated with purchasing cocktails online is the different flavours available to you. For those of you that are sick-and-tired of drinking the same alcoholic beverages week-in, week-out, you might be open to the idea of mixing things up so-to-speak. During your research, you could find anything from award-winning Cosmopolitans to exciting and intriguing Espresso Martinis. Realistically, these are cocktails that you will not be able to replicate without the necessary training, hence why purchasing them in their final form can save you a significant amount of hassle.
Breaking Down Our Options
In traditional circumstances, Alcotraz is considered to be one of the leading themed bars in London; as you may have already deduced from our name, we have drawn inspiration from the American prison of the same name. Unfortunately, the nightlife industry has been adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic; as such, we have sought to broaden our horizons. Now, we are pleased to be able to provide our customers with fantastic cocktails straight to their front doors – our costs are reasonable, meaning that you won’t have to worry about emptying your bank account. If you would like to learn a little more about the flavours that feature in our catalogue, you might like to complete and submit the enquiry form on our website.
