Alcotraz Manchester: Cell Block Three-Four

You'll hand over your contraband spirits at the door, get processed like a proper criminal, and find yourself seated outside actual jail cells. The orange jumpsuit-clad 'inmates' behind bars are proper mixologists who'll craft bespoke cocktails from whatever you've smuggled in – vodka, gin, whisky, whatever's your poison. The whole thing is delightfully absurd but brilliantly executed, with guards barking orders and prisoners pleading for better ingredients through the bars. It's not just theatrical nonsense though – these cocktails are genuinely excellent. The 105-minute experience flies by as you watch your booze transform into elaborate drinks you'd never think to make at home. Book well ahead because everyone's cottoned on to how entertaining this place is.
