Your next work night out just got criminal. Alcotraz Penitentiary is the bar behind bars and an exceptional immersive theatre experience for the whole office – a perfect corporate team building activity located in the heart of the capital. This iconic experience invites your whole team to go to prison for all the right reasons and enjoy cocktails and mocktails throughout the sentence.
This is one meeting you’re not going to want to skip. Swap your shirt and tie for an orange jumpsuit, and your briefcase for smuggled contraband, and step through the metal detectors into Alcotraz Penitentiary for your latest team building activity.
The only task on your to-do list today is to successfully sneak the liquor of your choosing past the Warden – with a little help from some corrupt guards, of course. Next, you and your fellow fugitives – ahem, we mean colleagues – will be escorted to your cell and offered bespoke cocktails made from your smuggled booze.
Whether you want to spend your work party sentence scheming against the Warden, or simply enjoy a drink in the clink, Alcotraz offers the perfect packages for you and your teammates – with personalised missions and plot lines that completely incorporate you and your whole company into the story.
With real jail cells, a full immersive experience and talented actors, plus a world-class cocktail drinking experience, you’re in for a night out team bonding you never thought possible.
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! 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.
A unique team building experience
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be drawn into the immersive world that is Alcotraz London. Guards – each of them trained actors – will check you in for your stay and hand you one of our standard issue jumpsuits, and lead you to your highly realistic jail cell. Everyone else you see from then on – the Warden, the mole and even our mixologists – are all actors, dedicated to giving you a team building experience like no other.
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 London?
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.
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!
