    I didn't really know what to expect going into this experience, as I'd deliberately avoided reading too much about it beforehand. I bought tickets for myself, my wife, my mum and my dad as a Christmas gift, and we finally went this past weekend. From the moment we arrived, it was fantastic. Even the member of staff who welcomed us in was brilliant. She was funny, friendly, approachable, and made everyone feel comfortable straight away while giving us all the information we needed. Once the experience started, it just got better and better. The actors and actresses were outstanding throughout. The Warden was a particular highlight and absolutely stole the show. Their performance was hilarious and had us laughing from beginning to end. The cocktails were delicious too. We took our own drinks, with one member of our group bringing beers while the rest of us shared a 70cl bottle of vodka. Everything was really well organised, and we were pleasantly surprised that we still had a good amount of our bottle left by the end. The whole experience was incredibly well put together, funny, immersive, and entertaining throughout. I would highly recommend it to anyone. We all had an amazing time and would happily do it again. 😊🍸🎭✨

    What an amazing experience thank you! We booked for a birthday celebration and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. The cocktails are next level every single one was absolutely delicious. In fact, I want to go back just for the drinks! 🤭 The staff were incredible such talented actors who stayed in character throughout and made the whole experience so much fun. We laughed, we drank, and surprisingly it was an absolute pleasure being locked in a jail cell! 😂 If you’re thinking about booking, do it you won’t regret it. Highly recommended! 🍸🚔🎉

    The gentleman that first greeted us was very good and explained things well. The actors were realistic and played along well even when you tried to talk with them they never came out of character. Unfortunately the experience itself was a little boring and I wouldn’t go again.

    OMG, I booked this for my daughter’s hen. I had heard good reviews, but it was so much better than I thought it would be. The drinks were amazing, the atmosphere was spot on and we came out laughing so much, it really made our night. I would definitely recommend and I will be going again

    Bring your own booze but leave your sense of humour at the front door, Where to start, Firstly the whole idea of smuggling your booze in Is very lazy at best, your bottles are checked before you even enter and that kind of sucks the fun out of it, you could walk up with it in your hands and not even get a second look at The drinks (or drink in our case) could have been made with anyone’s smuggled in booze (we got kicked out after 15 mins and received our bottles back with both bottles half empty one rum and one vodka so not entirely sure where the rum went) The guards and warden don’t have a sense of humour and we was booted out after one of our party made a joke to another person in the party, they over heard and didn’t like the sense of humour and kicked us out (just to clarify this joke was not racially or ethically or derogatory in anyway) I’d sit this one out if you have any sort of funny bone in your body as you’d just be wasting your money and time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Alcotraz Manchester: Cell Block Three-Four

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.
