Christmas Parties 2025 at Alcotraz Cardiff

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). 

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 this Christmas. 

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.

KEY ELEMENTS
- Get into costume, become an inmate and be a crucial part of the story
- Fully immersive, from the real metal cells to the prison radio
- Tin cans serving “chicken soup” as your contraband drinks
- Live actors
- Movie-like prison set

CHOOSE START TIME
Our regular start times for private hires: 
Sunday - Friday 12:00, 2.15pm, 4.40pm, 7.05pm, 9.30pm. 
Saturday - Private Hire not available

We offer different packages and add-ons to choose from. 

ADD ON - PRE ARRANGED LIQOUR
Feel free to smuggle your own bottles (alcoholic or non-alcoholic spirit for cocktails, beer or 0%, wine and fizz) into the Prison for us to create cocktails or mocktails from. Once smuggled in, we then do the rest, serving 4 drinks pp on the shorter hire and 6 drinks pp on the longer 4 hour hire. No additional cost here beyond your hire cost. 

Alternatively, at an additional cost, allow our team of trained bootleggers to pre-arrange a secret stash of drinks hidden in your cells.

ADD ON - PRISON RATIONS
Our longer duration for a 4 hour hire you have the option to have pizza delivered by our prison canteen. This will be a 50/50 vegetarian and non-vegetarian split unless you state otherwise. We can also accommodate Vegan and Gluten free requirements.

ADD ON - SPECIAL CHARACTERS
Make the experience extra memorable by assigning your boss or CEO their own unique character. Perfect for those looking to get a little more out of their experience or to stitch up one of the gang. Watch them play out an integral part of the immersive storyline and get given extra costume items.

PURE VENUE HIRE
If live actors and a storyline put you off, why not hire Alcotraz for your event simply as a unique venue hire. You can choose to still use our orange jumpsuits and we will provide a contraband menu of drinks for your guests to choose from and pay as they go.

In the heart of Cardiff's thriving city centre is a top-secret immersive experience like no other. Step into Alcotraz Cardiff – a covert speakeasy-style cocktail bar where rule-breakers are welcomed with open arms. Do the crime, smuggle in your liquor, and settle in for a night in the clink with bespoke cocktails and your favourite deviants.
