Work Nights Out in Cardiff
Hidden amidst the spoils of Cardiff city centre is a unique after work drinks venue we just know you’ll love. Escape an office-day sentence and let loose in our immersive, theatrical prison speakeasy, that’s a team building experience you’ll never forget.
A different kind of team bonding
Get to know your colleagues on a whole new level, and away from the confines of the 9-to-5. Step into Alcotraz Cardiff where your daily to-do list has only one item on the agenda: smuggle liquor of your choice through the metal detectors, past the Warden (with the guards’ help, of course) and into your jail cell.
The only one getting to rain on your parade is the Warden; they’ll be rooting around for any rulebreakers and be ready to pounce on any contraband they find. You and your colleagues will have to put your heads together and come up with a water-tight strategy to stay ahead of the game. Ready to win Team of the Month? Now’s your chance.
Team building for everyone
We get it; drinking isn’t for everyone. And neither is being the centre of attention. But there’s a way for every inmate at Alcotraz to take part.
Choose from cocktails made from your smuggled liquor, or mocktails included free of charge, and settle in for a theatrical, immersive experience that promises to be exciting and thrilling. You may prefer to sip in your cell and watch the events unfold, or you may choose to leap into action and win the favour of the crooked guards; earning you access to secret areas. However you choose to spend your time behind bars, we guarantee you and your colleagues will leave closer than ever.

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.
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 gang delicious 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 who really want to get involved will soon be trying out their American accent and telling the Warden what they are in for!
Those who 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 Cardiff Cell Block is fully wheelchair accessible. If you or a member of your party is attending with a wheelchair user, please contact us after your booking with your booking number.
