Find yourself in a cell for two. For your next date night in London, escape to the bar behind bars, where you and your date will be sentenced to an evening of cocktails, mischief, and unforgettable fun. Cell block two-one-two at Alcotraz London delivers a one-of-a-kind, immersive experience for your London date night. Just be careful – if the Warden catches those lingering looks, you might find yourselves locked up for good.
Once you bring your date inside, there’s no turning back. Enter a thrilling world of mischief, as you and your date become part of a notorious bootlegging prison gang, bent on smuggling in liquor and serving your sentence with cleverly crafted, bespoke cocktails.
You and your date have just one mission – don’t let the Warden catch you. Work together to outsmart them, using your wits to hide your smuggling operation, all with a little help from the coolest inmate on the block.
Our guards are just as crooked as your crimes. They’ll check you in, hand out your prison-issue jumpsuits, and assist with smuggling in your contraband… as long as you keep them on your side.
The Warden’s always on the lookout, hunting for any contraband. You’ll need sharp ideas, quick distractions, and fast thinking to stay one step ahead at all times. With a little teamwork, you could be running the block by the time your sentence is up.
For an immersive theatrical experience and four bespoke cocktails. Upgrade to “The Associate” for a Prison Record Card souvenir with your photo, or go all-in with “The Boss” for canteen sweets and a branded Alcotraz mug. Some perks are worth the extra time.

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.

An immersive experience

It’s a night full of fun, suspense, and surprises, making it the ideal adventurous date! There’s more going on at Aloctraz than what meets the eye, so we suggest keep yours wide open…

Prepare to escape the everyday and immerse yourselves in an unforgettable night in a prison you’ll be talking about long after your release.
What do I wear to Alcotraz?
For your prison processing and conviction, we recommend wearing light clothing, as you’ll be issued an Alcotraz orange jumpsuit (provided) to wear throughout your sentence. Whilst dresses and skirts aren’t ideal, they can be tucked in if necessary.
How long will I spend at Alcotraz?
Your immersive date night sentence will last 1 hour and 45 minutes, during which inmates will be provided with a prison-issued Alcotraz orange jumpsuit to wear while serving their time behind bars.
What size jumpsuits do you provide?
Our prison-issued Alcotraz jumpsuits come in sizes ranging from XS to 4XL, ensuring a fit for all inmates. The rules are flexible when it comes to how you wear your jumpsuit, so feel free to style it as you like, such as tying the arms around your waist.
Is alcohol included?
Inmates are tasked with smuggling in their own liquor – one bottle per inmate, no matter the size – though cocktail mixers are provided on-site. If you’re after a sober date night, feel free to sneak in some alcohol-free drinks or skip the smuggling altogether.
What alcohol can I bring with me?
The seasoned inmates you’ll meet behind bars are actually skilled mixologists, and they craft their best cocktails with smuggled spirits. However, if you or your date prefer wine or beer, you can sneak that in as well… if you can get it past the Warden.
Is food provided?
Food is not provided during your immersive date night at Alcotraz, unless you’re exclusively hiring the venue for a party of 30 or more. But honestly, who would want prison slop anyway?
Is there a drinks reception?
Oh, it gets even better! Our cell block features a hidden bar with expert cocktail makers, ready to serve you and your date, tailoring drinks to your exact preferences. And, if you’re not into alcohol, don’t worry – we’ve got delicious mocktail recipes for your smuggled-in alcohol-free drinks (if you decide to bring anything at all).
Can I book Alcotraz for another occasion?
Totally! Alcotraz London isn’t just perfect for date night activities – we also lock up Hens, Stags, birthdays, Christmas parties and even entire companies! It’s the ultimate adventure for a night out.
What if I don't drink?
Not a drinker? No problem! The Alcotraz experience is just as exciting for non-drinkers. A big part of the fun is the immersive storyline unfolding around you, with plenty of opportunities to engage with the plot and actors. If you’re skipping the liquor, there’s no need to smuggle anything in – just enjoy four expertly crafted mocktails, all included in the ticket price!
Is Alcotraz London wheelchair-accessible?
Our London Cell Block is wheelchair-accessible. However, it is best to book the following sentences to ensure it’s fully step-free: 11:30, 13:45, 16:10, 18:35 and 21:00.
