Experience highlights Highlights
Bar behind bars
Serving inmates double as your bartenders and the guards are in on it too — you're not watching the story, you're part of it.
Outsmart the Warden
Team up with the corrupt guards to keep your contraband hidden from the Warden's patrols.
Four cocktails, prison-canteen style
Handcrafted cocktails — or beer, wine, or alcohol-free mocktails on request — served by the convicts of the prison canteen.
Full immersion, right down to your cell
Real metallic cells, an orange jumpsuit, and your own prisoner identity and backstory for the night.
Built for groups
The ultimate group night out — birthdays, buck's & hen's, team bonding or private events.

In short Overview
Don your orange jumpsuit and step into Alcotraz Penitentiary: the world's first immersive, prison-themed cocktail bar. Step into the canteen, meet the convicts, and let our crooked crew keep the cocktails flowing while you serve your sentence in style.
Choose your sentence: the 'Guilty' ticket includes cocktails, beer or wine; the 'Innocent' ticket swaps in alcohol-free mocktails — both get the full theatrical experience.
