Locked Up and Loving It: My Night at Alcotraz’s Immersive Prison Bar
When I heard about Alcotraz, an immersive prison cocktail bar in Brighton and Hove, I knew I had to experience it for myself. As someone who thrives on unique after-hours adventures, the idea of smuggling in my own liquor and interacting with talented actors was too enticing to pass up.
Behind Bars: A Night to Remember
The moment I stepped into the world of Alcotraz, I knew I was in for an unforgettable experience. The anticipation had been building ever since I heard whispers of this immersive prison cocktail bar, and as a DJ and music producer, I’m always on the lookout for unique after-hours adventures. The idea of smuggling in my own liquor and donning an orange jumpsuit was too intriguing to resist.
Upon arrival, the Warden greeted us with a stern yet playful demeanor, setting the tone for the evening. The transformation was immediate as we were handed our prison suits, each tailored to fit our diverse group. The thrill of sneaking in spirits added an element of mischief, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at the creative ways my fellow inmates concealed their contraband. The staff’s commitment to the theme was impressive, and their orchestrated scenes in the canteen area had us all in stitches.
Cocktails and Cunning
Once inside, the real fun began. The talented inmates behind the bar took our smuggled spirits and crafted bespoke cocktails that were nothing short of spectacular. Each drink was a testament to their skill and creativity, blending liqueurs, bitters, and homemade syrups to perfection. The absence of a set menu meant that every cocktail was a surprise, tailored to our tastes and preferences.
The interactive nature of the experience was a highlight, with the staff engaging us in various scenarios that felt straight out of a Hollywood movie. From staged photo opportunities to clever interactions, every moment was designed to immerse us in the prison world. The laughter was contagious, and the camaraderie among our group grew stronger with each passing scene.
A Taste of Freedom
As the night drew to a close, we were pleasantly surprised to find that any unused alcohol was returned to us, a gesture that spoke to the authenticity and honesty of the experience. It was a fitting end to an evening that had exceeded all expectations.
Alcotraz is more than just a cocktail bar; it’s an adventure that transports you to another world.
