Highlights
Hidden behind unassuming doors on Seel Street lies Alcotraz, a spekeasy prison staffed with crooked guards to help you smuggle liquor past the Warden and get it into the hands of the "longest-serving" inmates. Inspired by Hollywood Movies and TV that have brought to life prison stories, Alcotraz is Liverpool's first immersive theatrical cocktail bar. From the orange jumpsuits upon entrance, to the real metallic cells, Alcotraz becomes the perfect backdrop to enjoy delicious, bespoke cocktails within an epic yet intimate environment. You won’t find a set menu of drinks here, after all, it is prison! Alcotraz creates a range of tailored cocktails every night based on the liquor you bring and your tastes. Luckily, Inmate Cassidy has the Guards are on your side who have creative ways of hiding contraband.

5Brilliant laugh - excellent experience
Brilliant idea experience from start to finish, so much fun, very interactive and a good laugh ! Unforgettable memory !
1Not fun at all!
Extremely disappointing experience at Alcotraz Liverpool. What was supposed to be a fun experience with friends turned into a frustrating and upsetting evening. Throughout the experience, we were encouraged to interact and get involved, so we followed those instructions. However, we were then told to be quiet, which was confusing and contradictory. The situation escalated when one member of our group briefly undid her boiler suit. We were subsequently removed from the experience because of this. We have a video showing what happened, which I will include with this review so that people can judge the circumstances for themselves. We paid for an immersive experience and participated as we were instructed. Instead, we were made to feel uncomfortable and were asked to leave, leaving us feeling that our money had been wasted. I understand that venues have rules and that staff must enforce them. However, the way this situation was handled felt disproportionate, particularly as we were trying to engage with the experience as instructed. Sadly, this was not the enjoyable night out we expected, and based on our experience, we would not return. I would not recommend Alcotraz for hen parties, stag parties, or similar group events.
5Review from Inmate “Bee Sting”
What a wonderful time we had being in Alcotraz. A definite “must do” if you are in the Liverpool area. The Actors are fun and interactive with everyone. The inmates that have “kitchen duty” are the best bartenders. We smuggled a bottle of gin into the prison, they made 4 very different drinks with it. Trust me, let them do their thing! Again, kudos a MUST DO!
5Absolutely brilliant experience!
Upon booking & then realising you have to take to own spirits for the cocktails I thought what a rip off. Actually worth every penny! The booze you smuggle in is part of the experience. Just the funniest! Loved every minute. Well executed with the actors & your involvement in the acting. I will definitely return! Totally fabulous, funny experience if you are looking for something different to do!
5Absolutely amazing...

About Liverpool
Liverpool is a maritime city on the River Mersey in north-west England, known for its docks, two cathedrals and as the birthplace of the Beatles.
Liverpool grew into a major world port in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the Pier Head still shows it: the Royal Liver Building and its two neighbours, together called the Three Graces, stand side by side above the Mersey. Behind them lies the Albert Dock, a former warehouse complex of red brick and iron columns that now holds galleries, shops and the Merseyside Maritime Museum.
