Alcotraz Covent Garden: Cell Block Six Eight is an interactive cocktail experience set in a mock prison. Guests are processed as 'inmates' and escorted to a cell where they are served smuggled cocktails by 'guards' and 'fellow prisoners'. The venue is designed to look like a 1920s penitentiary, complete with barred doors, graffiti, and dim lighting. Each visit includes a welcome shot and three cocktails made from a selection of spirits. The experience is highly theatrical, with actors staying in character throughout. It's a popular choice for hen parties, birthdays, and groups looking for a unique night out in London's West End.
