We loved every moment. 🍹 - Having previously been to the London Alcotraz and having a fantastic time. Was very excited to also visit the Bristol venue and I wasn’t let down.
I was so impressed with different storyline and the actors. Bristol Alcotraz was more lighthearted and funny compared and i personally felt way more immersed. The staff were incredibly attentive and made the most wonderful, beautiful cocktails.
Actors was so interactive with us and we absolutely loved willmont and gill.❤️
Loved both my Alcotraz experiences they were both so unique. I made so many memories. Highly recommend going if you fancy a different fun night out!

What a show!! - Such a fun comical prison experience. Our bartender made us the most tasty cocktails. While we got to watch a funny light hearted storyline unfold throughout. You can also be as involved with the story as you like, we got involved and helped the characters find clues and dirt on the warden. Worth every penny.💙

Highly recommended! - So much fun!! Surprised a friend with this for her hen do. We all absolutely loved it! I didn’t expect it to be so funny! Couldn’t fault it. Incredible actors and all the cocktails were so, so good! Even with a few groups there, it still felt very personal. They give each group individual attention and it was such a fun and very unique experience. Loved it! Will definitely be recommending this to others and coming back too! Thanks for a great experience!

Absolutely loved the whole experience and cannot recommend enough. - Absolutely loved the whole experience and cannot recommend enough.
We were unsure what to expect and it fully surpassed any expectations. The immersive experience is so much fun, you can be as involved or not as you like. If you stay quiet you won’t be singled out, if you want to be fully involved chat away and be lively and the actors will bring you more into it.
We weren’t sure about the smuggling drinks in, don’t worry about that they’ve got it covered. Just turn up and they’ll tell you the rest.
There’s plenty of time in between the ‘scenes’ to chat, take photos and enjoy the drinks and take in the ‘cell’ experience.
The actors were all fab and so were the support team. Thank you for making it a fun, memorable day.

Prison wasn’t as fun as it was cracked up to be - Not much fun, there needs to be a rethink on how to make this more exciting, for the price it’s really quite poor, cocktails just need to be included as there isn’t a contraband smuggling process as such you just walk in with it and then hand to the “kitchen workers” (myself and friends were excited about this part as we were discussing where we would hide it ect, the information given over sold the experience) Cocktails were very sweet and made two of our group physically sick all night (not because they were intoxicated). Not sure if we were there on a off night but I will not recommend to others
