Alcotraz Cocktail Bar: London’s Immersive Prison-Themed Bar

Ever wondered what it’s like to be an inmate in a prison while sipping on a bespoke cocktail? Alcotraz Cocktail Bar offers an immersive experience like no other. This interactive bar in Shoreditch (with locations in other areas too) plunges you into a fully themed, theatrical setting where you play the role of a smuggler, sneaking in spirits for the prison “inmates.” It’s not just a bar—it’s a night of immersive experience and entertainment.

What’s the Experience Like?

Step into Alcotraz and expect:

  • A completely unique way to enjoy a drink, combining cocktails with roleplay and theatrics.
  • A dramatic prison-themed storyline where staff (playing guards and inmates) create a fully interactive experience.
  • The chance to sneak in your favourite spirits, which the expert “inmate” mixologists will turn into custom cocktails.

Here are some of the photos we took on our visit:

A great experience and the immersive actors transported us to Alcotraz! You bring your spirits and they make cocktails out of them which is a really cool idea. The best advice would be to get into the spirit of it and be part of the fun.

Venue and Vibes

Alcotraz captures the gritty yet fun vibe of a high-security prison. From the steel bars to the orange jumpsuits, every detail immerses you in the theme. Whether you’re there for the drinks, the drama, or a mix of both, the venue delivers an unforgettable night.

If you’re looking for a bar that’s anything but ordinary, Alcotraz Cocktail Bar will have you raising the bar on nights out. If I had one wish, it’d be that we had longer there, but that’s a testament to the experience itself. – They make the nicest cocktails!
