Great for birthdays/hen do’s etc. great interaction with actors, but not too intimidating. Cocktails were lovely!!! Had a fab time celebrating a 40th birthday. 😁
This place is brilliant! Didn't really know what to expect. Thought we'd just sit around in orange jump suits, chat and drink. It is sooo much more. A really fun, emersion experience and quality cocktails! Got to do it at least once 😀
Fantastic experience, was over far too quickly. 13 of us visited during my hen weekend, was a great laugh and was so busy having fun I didn't have time to finish my cocktails but everyone really enjoyed it. Wish we'd had longer in the experience.
What a fab experience. The cocktails made were exceptional. You are fully immersed in the experience from the moment you enter.
I took my partner here as a birthday surprise and he absolutely loved it! The actors were brilliant and stayed in character the whole time, which made the experience really immersive. The cocktails were gorgeous and the staff were professional and engaging throughout. Overall, it was a fun and unique night out — I’d definitely recommend it.
Great different night out! Pricey but honestly is so worth it. The actors were very comedic and the storyline was great! (You can get as involved as you like. And you’ll be given side quests.) Drinks side, I’ve tried a bunch of cocktail bars around bristol and can say these were the best cocktails I've had! Very unique and Tee our bartender knew her stuff!
Very memorable experience, great energy from all actors and fantastic service from our bartender, 1 of our group didn’t like the 2nd drink. But if you mention this they’ll much you a different one no problem!! All around fantastic and well worth the money! We only wish we were there ffor longer,
We went as a group of 4 and had a fantastic time - cocktails were great (we were asked preferences and served 4 different cocktails which were all delicious!) and the actors were a great laugh. 4 seemed a good size group for our cell but they can have up to 6 in a cell I think and if you are a larger group, they’ll split you into cells but position you near each other. Cells don’t actually have doors and you are free to move around (including access to toilets) unless the ‘warden’ is on the block.
The concept promises an emersive and interactive jail experience but the reality is a grim little basement where you are served your own alcohol by low level actors. The ‘manager’ has an ego the size of Bristol and thew us out for throwing a cushion into another cell which bounced off an ‘actor’ - hilarious for all the wrong reasons! Give it a miss and save your money it was a not fun.
Fantastic time , everyone involved made it a night to remember ! Cocktails made also were amazing! Mad Dog shall take on the Warden !!
