Great experience here. You can smuggle in some drinks as you go to prison. Things get crazy in here and you get some drinks based on what bottle you bring in. This is definitely a great spot to visit when in London. I highly recommend this place.

The actors were patient, were lots of fun to interact with, and the 'chicken soup' (drinks) were good.
Just for reference - we brought a new 70cl bottle for the two of us and a third of it was given back to us at the end!

Went with 2 other friends for a birthday. Overall the actors were brilliant, the warden really made the whole thing, really funny guy and was able to bounce off of what other people said.
The story was okay but the prequel to it (the western themed one hosted by the same company)was a lot better.
Unfortunately we were also joined by a Hen party who had no respect for the actors. They would proceed to heckle and scream whenever something happened, which is fair enough but doing it to a point where the security guard disguised as a character had to intervene and tell them off.
Our cocktails were really tasty but were handed out quite fast and weren't spaced out very well. Apart from this we had a really good time.
Frequently Asked Questions About Alcotraz London: Cell Block Two-One-Two
What do I need to bring?
As part of the Alcotraz Experience, guests are required to bring their own liquor which you will smuggle into the Penitentiary. Please bring base spirits such as Vodka, Gin, Rum, Tequila or Whisky. The bootlegging gang inside Alcotraz have found that a 35cl bottle of spirit per two inmates or 70cl bottle per four is the easiest to get past The Warden. If coming in larger groups, please bring as few variations of spirit as possible within the group.
Alcotraz operates a closed bottle policy meaning we will not accept any bottles previously opened. Please only bring new, unopened and sealed bottles.
All bitters, purees, juices, syrups, liqueurs and other ingredients that go into making delicious cocktails are included within entry price so please simply bring your own choice of liquor.
What happens if I am running late?
Please bring ID and arrive promptly for your sentence slot.
If you are late to your sentence and have a ticket you will still be processed, as long as you arrive within 30 minutes of your experience start time. Unfortunately, if you are running over 30 minutes late for your experience you will be unable to enter.
Will I be in a Private Cell?
The Alcotraz Prison Cells vary in size and can hold between 2 to 6 inmates. If attending in a small group of 2 or 3, we will do our best to ensure that you are kept separate from others and receive your own cell but on occasion this is not always possible and there is a chance that you may end up within the same cell as another couple or small group.
