Alcotraz London: Cell Block Two-One-Two Reviews Summary

Interactive Experience

Pros:

• "Had a fantastic time at Alcatraz for my birthday, really got involved in the interactive experience."
• "It's like being part of a play or movie while drinking nice cocktails."
• "The whole premise of 'Alcotraz' is that you’re a cell mate, undergoing punishment for a named crime."
• "A very cool theatrical bar! From the beginning, the experience has started, they give you an orange jumpsuit and you are playing the inmate."
• "We had a great time here, it's something different and quite fun. They get every group involved in a little task, there's little scenes of acting throughout."
• "I accidentally booked for the Manchester branch instead of London and the staff assisted me in changing my booking on such a busy Friday night."
• "Our party all had a great time at Alcotraz. Definitely something different. The actors were all lovely and took great care of everyone."
• "It was a really enjoyable experience and all the actors were great."

Cons:

• "Honestly wasn’t worth the money. If booze was included, maybe. The actors relied too much on participation and ad libbing from guests."
• "The experience isn’t too engaging, actors are average and their script isn’t funny/entertaining either."
• "It was an alright experience. However, I was a bit disappointed as I thought it was going to be more interactive, as in stuff for us to do or look for or work out."
• "The experience was really fun; the orange jumpsuits, the prison cells, and the staff, who were amazing and kept perfectly in character all night, especially the guards and the warden."
• "It's a great fun idea for something different. I just thought the actors wearing masks spoilt the experience a little."
• "It's a fun experience but quite overpriced for the fact that you're drinking your own alcohol."
• "Despite all the reviews, we were a little worried about booking this experience as we thought that either the theatrical parts would be great and the cocktails average or visa versa."
• "It's a great idea but I wouldn't go again and I would not recommend going."

Cocktail Quality

Pros:

• "The actors were amazing and so professional. Drinks were fantastic and from beginning to end we were payed attention to."
• "The concept is absolutely great. You bring your own booze and they create cocktails based on your preferences and the alcohol you bring."
• "We had 3 amazing cocktails but the last one was disgusting had rosemary in it."
• "This place is just nutts!!! Crazy, fun, extraordinary theater where you take a part and get to drink delicious cocktails, 4 rounds!"
• "The staff were friendly, the cells were comfy enough, and the drinks were amazing."
• "Absolutely brilliant! From smuggling in your alcohol to the orange boiler suits."
• "Great for couples or groups and a lot of fun."
• "Very fun…. not an escape room, very much a show/experience. Great job by the actors and the four drinks were very well-made."

Cons:

• "The drinks were very very sweet and you just got whatever they made you."
• "The drinks were extremely sweet and very average overall."
• "We had a great time here, it's something different and quite fun. The girl that played Cassidy was excellent. We had 3 amazing cocktails but the last one was disgusting had rosemary in it."
• "It's a fun experience but quite overpriced for the fact that you're drinking your own alcohol."
• "Waste of time and money unfortunately. 40 pounds to sit there and drink alcohol which you have to bring. Drinks are weak as is the atmosphere and experience."
• "Such a great experience. You bring your own booze but the staff will make a great mix of cocktails for you."
• "Please be aware and careful!!! Male staff blond hair & beard (not apart of the act at all) used his masculinity to intimidate my friend and I, he was very aggressive in his tone and body language."
• "The drinks they make you are amazing and different each time, the actors were so entertaining and remained in character."
