Unique Date Nights in Brighton
For a date night in Brighton like no other – one that’s certainly going to stick with you for years to come – Alcotraz promises to deliver. It’s BYOB, but your smuggled contraband will be used to craft delicious, bespoke cocktails for you and your date. Swap your smart attire for orange jumpsuits, and step this way through the metal detectors – welcome to Alcotraz.
A date with a difference
Alcotraz in Cardiff gives you something completely different. You can skip the small talk of first dates and create amazing unique memories (even if you’ve been together for years). Once you arrive, you will be issued your mission for the evening: smuggle your liquor of choice past the Warden, with the help of the crooked guards, and into the hands of our “serving” mixologists. Spend the evening in your highly realistic jail, and get ready to be entertained.
Perfect for non-drinkers
Not everyone’s a drinker, and we get that. You can smuggle contraband spirits into your cell, but if you prefer to stay teetotal, our mixologists will craft you delicious mocktails – for no extra charge. And you’ll still be in for one incredible evening; from the moment you enter the Penitentiary, you’ll become immersed in the Alcotraz storyline. Everyone here is a trained actor, whose job it is to entertain you, whether you choose to remain in your cell or plot against the Warden. It’s our world, but entirely your storyline.
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.
Take Home Apparel
Visit the Prison Commissary to shop for merchandise and apparel to buy in advance or on the night to remember the special occasion.
