Welcome inmates! It’s time to enter Alcotraz in Manchester where you’ll need to successfully smuggle your liquor past the Warden and serve your time in jail with a secret supply of delicious, personalised cocktails.
Do you and your group have what it takes to avoid getting caught?
This immersive and theatrical experience is a bar behind bars, where you’ll become part of the story, with talented actors playing the Warden and crooked guards, helping to bring this new world to life. It's the perfect activity for anyone celebrating a special occasion, or those simply looking to try something different in this amazing city!
On arrival to Alcotraz Manchester, you’ll each be provided with an orange jumpsuit to wear, which will be sure to get you feeling the part! Don't forget to sneak some selfies of you and your group during the experience!
Your group will need to bring your own bottle of spirit along with you for your session, so that the serving inmates can create four mouth-watering, bespoke cocktails for you. We recommend 1x 70cl bottle of gin, rum or vodka per 3-4 people.
Just make sure that the Warden doesn’t catch you, otherwise you'll be getting told off! You've been warned!
This exciting cocktail themed experience is a great choice for any groups marking something special, such as a Manchester stag do, hen party or birthday. But you don't need to be celebrating to head to Alcotraz - it's also perfect for those looking for fun things to do in Manchester!
Important information
Age restriction: 18+. Bring ID.
Please note, you need to bring your own spirit as a sealed, unopened bottle.
