About this tour
An immersive theatrical cocktail experience where you're cast as a prison inmate and work with bartenders to create bespoke drinks. Lasting 1 hour 45 minutes, this London venue uses real metallic cells and costumed staff to stage a film-inspired heist narrative — you'll smuggle in your own spirit, which the bartenders combine with house-made syrups, liqueurs and bitters to craft personalised cocktails tailored to your taste.
Highlights
- Real metallic prison cells and orange jumpsuits set the immersive scene
- Bespoke cocktails mixed to your taste by costumed bartender 'inmates'
- You bring your own base spirit; house supplies liqueurs, bitters, syrups
- Theatrical smuggling narrative woven through the 1h 45m experience
- No preset menu — each drink designed around your preferences and creativity
- Inspired by Hollywood prison films and TV storylines
- Intimate yet theatrical environment with working actors
What to expect
You'll arrive at the venue and be dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit, establishing the theatrical premise. The space itself — fitted with real metallic cells — serves as your backdrop. You'll then interact with costumed bartender 'inmates' and 'guards' who guide you through the conceit of smuggling in liquor and having it transformed into cocktails. The bartenders will ask about your tastes and spirit choice, then craft one or more bespoke drinks using their house ingredients (liqueurs, bitters, homemade syrups) combined with what you've brought. The experience weaves playful theatre throughout — guards, wardens, and the contraband smuggling narrative frame the cocktail-making itself. The session wraps after roughly 1 hour 45 minutes.

Good to know
This suits anyone who enjoys interactive theatre, wants a novelty cocktail experience, or values personalised drinks over standard menus. It's best for groups of friends or celebration occasions. Fair warning: you must bring your own base spirit (gin, rum, whisky, etc.) — the bar doesn't supply it, only the mixers and garnishes. The theatrical elements are tongue-in-cheek and costume-heavy; if you prefer straightforward cocktails without performance, this won't appeal. Suitable for most fitness levels. Public transport is nearby. Group size and exact pricing aren't specified; book ahead to confirm availability and whether booking is per person or per group.
