Alcotraz London: Cell Block Two-One-Two, Themed cocktail bar in Shoreditch, London, United Kingdom.
This immersive cocktail establishment transforms guests into inmates within a meticulously designed prison environment featuring authentic metal cells, regulation orange jumpsuits, and professional actors portraying guards and fellow prisoners throughout the theatrical experience.
The venue draws inspiration from classic Hollywood prison films and television series, capitalizing on the public's long-standing fascination with underground criminal worlds and clandestine activities to create an entertainment concept that emerged in London's innovative cocktail scene.
The experience reflects contemporary British nightlife culture's embrace of interactive entertainment, combining theatrical performance with craft cocktail artistry while encouraging social media documentation and group participation in role-playing scenarios that challenge traditional bar conventions.
Located at 127 Hackney Road, the venue operates Tuesday through Sunday with varying hours, requires guests aged 18 and over to bring sealed alcohol bottles for smuggling scenarios, and offers multiple ticket tiers with experiences lasting approximately one hour and forty-five minutes.
Guests must successfully smuggle their own alcohol past fictional corrupt guards to have it transformed into bespoke cocktails by inmate-bartenders, creating a personalized drinking experience where each visit's narrative changes based on individual choices and interactions with the cast.
