Don an orange jumpsuit, navigate hidden cell blocks, and enjoy specially tailored cocktails while keeping your contraband liquor hidden from the corrupt guards and the prying eyes of The Warden. Immerse yourself at the ‘bar behind bars’, where the serving inmates are your bartenders, the guards are crooked and you become a part of the story. Bring your own bottle of liquor and work with the guards to keep it hidden from the Warden. See your smuggled liquor transformed into 4 bespoke cocktails in front of your very own eyes. Receive your identity and backstory in a fully-immersive experience with real metallic cells, orange jumpsuits, and more.
All ingredients to make you cocktails such as liqueurs, bitters, syrups etc.

Successfully smuggle your liquor past the Warden and serve your time with a covert supply of personalised cocktails.

Immersive theatre at it’s finest

A very good time! The drinks were customized to our taste and the actors were incredible. They gave my friends and I lots of individual attention as well.

What fun is to be had...

A great experience, loads of fun and excellent cocktails. was a little nervous going on one of the hottest days of the year but the venue was a lovely temperature!

Toilets were available throughout until 15mins before the end but we were given a warning! the experience was immersive and enjoyable...

Great cocktails, hilarious actors and amazing memories.

Brilliant experience, every detail was planned perfectly and the staff/actors were brilliant. The cocktails were delicious and we all laughed from start to finish.
