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.
