Work Nights Out in London
Your next work night out just got criminal. Alcotraz Penitentiary is the bar behind bars and an exceptional immersive theatre experience for the whole office – a perfect corporate team building activity located in the heart of the capital. This iconic experience invites your whole team to go to prison for all the right reasons and enjoy cocktails and mocktails throughout the sentence.
A different kind of team night out
This is one meeting you’re not going to want to skip. Swap your shirt and tie for an orange jumpsuit, and your briefcase for smuggled contraband, and step through the metal detectors into Alcotraz Penitentiary for your latest team building activity. The only task on your to-do list today is to successfully sneak the liquor of your choosing past the Warden – with a little help from some corrupt guards, of course. You and your fellow fugitives – ahem, we mean colleagues – will be escorted to your cell and offered bespoke cocktails made from your smuggled booze. Whether you want to spend your work party sentence scheming against the Warden, or simply enjoy a drink in the clink, Alcotraz offers the perfect packages for you and your teammates with personalised missions and plot lines that completely incorporate you and your whole company into the story. With real jail cells, a full immersive experience and talented actors, plus a world-class cocktail drinking experience, you’re in for a night out team bonding you never thought possible.
Become part of the story
No two colleagues are the same, and we want to give everyone a great night regardless of their tipple of choice. Alcotraz ticks the boxes for drinkers and teetotalers alike, because we’re so much more than a bar.
From the moment you step inside, you and your colleagues will become fully immersed in a story that will play out before your very eyes. Everyone “working” in the penitentiary – the guards and the Warden are all trained actors who will put on one heck of a show for you and your teammates. Whether you’d prefer to stay in your cells and chat, take part in some escape room bonding, or plot against the Warden, there’s nowhere quite like Alcotraz.
