Alcotraz is brilliant fun and was the highlight of a great weekend away. We were well taken care of by funny, engaging actors and talented mixologists who produced a variety of delicious cocktails throughout the experience. I think so much was well considered - from fun photos ops, to set design, and not making anyone more involved than they wanted to be (I know not everyone enjoys audience participation, but can still enjoy watching others and feeling comfortable). My friends and I came away laughing and wanting to recommend it to everyone. We wish there was one closer! Highly recommended - hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

We visited as part of a girl’s trip to Brighton and weren’t really sure what to expect. However, we had a great time and this was actually the best part of our trip. From the moment you walk through the door you are immersed in the story. The actors are great, the cocktails are amazing and a great time was had. If you’re visiting Brighton we would highly recommend this!
