Alcotraz is a one-of-a-kind immersive experience where guests get absorbed into a storyline that is brought to life around them through characters including The Warden, the Guards and Inmate Cassidy (all played by actors).

Perfect for every occasion! Boost team morale and foster camaraderie for your next corporate event. Will it be your CEO you pick to be the 'Janitor'? Who is always leaving the office early and could be the 'Escape Artist'?

Whether you are celebrating your Birthday, Hen or Stag, Christmas Party or themed launch, Allcotraz is the perfect setting for your next event. 


Ideally located in Manchester City centre and well connected via public transport.

Those that really want to get involved can really get into character, trying out their American accents and throw themselves into multiple secret missions and storylines.



Those that would prefer to sit back and enjoy are welcome to do that too, whilst enjoying personalised cocktails and mocktails in this unique and fun world.



We know you will have the best time during the Alcotraz activity, where both drinkers and non-drinkers can have a blast!

This is not a physical experience so everyone can be a part of it and we make the best mocktails for those not wanting an alcoholic drink.

    Our visit to Alcatraz Bar in Manchester was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we stepped inside, we were completely immersed in the unique and thrilling atmosphere. The attention to detail in the decor and theme is incredible, making us feel like we had stepped into a different world. The experience was filled with fun and excitement, and we loved every minute of it. The staff played their roles perfectly, adding to the overall vibe and ensuring we were having a great time. The cocktails were creative and delicious, perfectly in line with the theme of the bar. What really stood out was the level of engagement and entertainment throughout the night. Every aspect of the experience was well thought out, making it one of the most memorable nights we’ve had in Manchester. If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, Alcatraz Bar is the place to be. We can’t wait to return and relive the experience all over again! This review emphasizes the immersive atmosphere, excellent service, and overall fun experience, making it clear why Alcatraz Bar deserves a 5-star rating.

    Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The staff/actors were absolutely fabulous and you get drawn in straight away. You smuggle your own alcohol in and it’s turned in to cocktails. I would recommend only taking a could have 35cl bottles we had 35cl gin, 35cl vodka and a 70cl spiced rum. We came out with half the rum, half the vodka and the full gin between 7 of us so not a lot is needed. You get 4 cocktails each over the hour and a half experience. Will definitely be back.

    Such a brilliant experience - would recommend to everyone thinking of going - we went as a hen party and it was a 10/10 experience, absolutely loved it. Fantastic actors and really good cocktails! Well worth it!! For the chunky monkeys, the jumpsuits go up to a women’s 4xl. Loved it guys, thank you so much!!!
