Get ready for a corporate team building activity like you’ve never seen before. Swap the office cubicles for cells as you step into Alcotraz Bristol. Perfect for drinkers and non-drinkers alike, the whole team 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.
You’ve made it through the check-in process, 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?
No two colleagues are the same, and we want to give everyone a great team building night – regardless of their tipple of choice. Alcotraz Bristol 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.
The whole point of getting the team out of the office and into an activity is to get everyone to bond and interact – and Alcotraz does just that!
A unique team building experience
Drinkers and teetotalers, wallflowers and budding actors alike, there’s a way for everyone to take part in Alcotraz – we’re not all about the booze.
Locked up together
Whether you want to stay in your cell and get to know your colleagues a little better, or you want to leap into character and be part of a plot to overthrow the Warden, or take part in a little team bonding activities, you won’t find anywhere else that gives you so much variety.

The Janitor
Perfect for those looking to stitch up one of their gang. Includes your own costume pieces during the show. The Warden has made the external janitorial team redundant and has off-loaded the task to the inmates. Whilst it may appear this individual draws the short straw, it may just be they have the key to help all the inmates escape once and for all.
The Mole
Perfect for those looking to get a little more out of their immersive experience. Includes your own unique storyline path. Your identity will help build some relationships and destroy others, so choose wisely who to reveal this to. Remember, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
The Escape Artist
Perfect for those looking to get a little more out of their immersive experience. Includes your own costume piece used throughout the show. Having successfully broken out of their last three Penitentiaries the Warden will be keeping a watchful eye on this person but there may also be some inmates who are interested in their particular set of skills.
What do I wear to Alcotraz?
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.
How long will I spend at Alcotraz Bristol?
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.
What size jumpsuits do you provide?
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.
What alcohol can I bring with me?
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.
Can I bring opened bottles of alcohol?
Alcotraz operates a closed bottle policy, meaning we will not accept any bottles previously opened. Please only bring new, unopened and sealed bottles.
How many drinks are included?
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.
Do I need to get involved if I don't want to?
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.
Is it scary?
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.
What if I don't drink?
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!
Is Alcotraz Bristol wheelchair-accessible?
