Corporate Team Building in Bristol
Get ready for a team building experience like you’ve never seen before. Swap the cubicles for cells as you step into Alcotraz Bristol. Perfect for drinkers and non-drinkers alike, the whole office can get involved with this amazing and immersive theatre experience. Whether you’d prefer to sit in your cell and chat, or plot with your cell mates on how to get past the Warden, there’s a way for everyone to get involved.
A different kind of team night out
Want to know how a team bonding session at Alcotraz would play out? Let us paint you a picture.
You’ve made it through the metal detector, been escorted by our guards, and handed your standard issue orange jumpsuit. You’ll then be given your instructions: smuggle your liquor of choice safely into Alcotraz, where it’ll be used to craft delicious, bespoke cocktails for you and your colleagues. (Not a drinker? Not to worry, there’s still plenty for you to enjoy…)
Need a helping hand getting your contraband inside? You’ll be pleased to know that the guards are on the take and will help you out with any smuggling. After all, they’re here to enjoy your work night out just as much as you. Just be on the lookout for the Warden; keep your contraband squirrelled away whenever he comes to patrol the cells. Will you be the team that comes out on top?
Become part of the story
No two colleagues are the same, and we want to give everyone a great night regardless of their tipple of choice. Alcotraz ticks the boxes for drinkers and teetotalers alike, because we’re so much more than a bar.
From the moment you step inside, you and your colleagues will 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 one heck of a show for you and your teammates. Whether you’d prefer to stay in your cells and chat, take part in some escape room bonding, or plot against the Warden, there’s nowhere quite like Alcotraz.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
Alcotraz operates a closed bottle policy, meaning we will not accept any bottles previously opened. Please only bring new, unopened and sealed bottles.
Inmates get approximately 4 personalised cocktails delivered by our expert mixologists, using the liquor you smuggle in with you. All liqueurs, bitters, syrups and other ingredients that go into making your cocktails are included in the ticket price, so all you need to bring is the liquor of your choice.
Alcotraz is an immersive experience where guests get absorbed into a storyline that is brought to life around them through characters including the Warden, the Guards and inmate Cassidy - all played by actors.
Those that really want to get involved will soon be trying out their American accent and telling the Warden what they are in for!
Those that would prefer to sit back and enjoy are welcome to do that too, whilst enjoying personalised cocktails in this unique and fun world.
Alcotraz may be an immersive experience, but is not scary. We have actors working inside the prison who help bring to life a fun, lighthearted experience for guests. However, if at any time guests do not act respectful and polite towards actors and the venue then they run the risk of their experience being cut short.
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!
Our Bristol Cell Block is fully wheelchair accessible. If your party is attending with a wheelchair user, please contact us after your booking with your booking number.
