Part speakeasy, part interactive play: a 1 hour 45 minute prison drama where you can join the plot or sit back and sip.

Getting Cocktail Classes Right in Chippendale

Chippendale sits just south-west of Central, around the Central Park precinct and the laneway dining of Kensington Street, which makes it one of the easiest places in Sydney to get a group together for a night of drinks with a twist. The cocktail option here is Alcotraz on Chippen Street, and it is less a class than a piece of theatre. Guests swap into orange jumpsuits, get handed a character and a backstory, and spend the night as the newest inmates of a mock prison built with real metal cells. Actors play the Warden, the crooked guards and fellow prisoners, while inmate bartenders mix the drinks.

What a group should know before booking Alcotraz in Chippendale:

Getting there: Central station is a short walk away and parking in Chippendale is limited, so public transport is the easier choice, though there is street and paid parking nearby.
The experience: the show runs 1 hour 45 minutes and the plot turns on smuggling contraband into cocktails, so you can play along, side with a gang, snitch to the Warden or just sit back in your cell.
Group size: cells seat up to six, so four to six guests keeps a cell to yourselves, groups of up to 30 book online and private events take up to 60.
Booking ahead: larger groups and dates more than three months out go through the enquiry form rather than online booking, so allow time for that step.
Food and drinks: every ticket includes four drinks, cocktails on the Guilty ticket or mocktails on the Innocent ticket, with beer or wine available and snacks for sale during the show.

Tickets start from $65 per person, and the venue is strictly 18 and over with valid ID. Wear something light, because the jumpsuit goes on over your clothes. Once the show wraps up, the Kensington Street laneways are close by if the night is going to continue over dinner.

Birthday and hens or bucks packages are aimed at groups of 30 or more.
The guest of honour can be booked in as the Janitor character, which puts them at the centre of the story.
Guests who would rather not perform can watch from their cell while the actors carry the plot.
The Innocent ticket with four mocktails means non-drinkers get the same show and the same number of rounds.

Work events and private hire in Chippendale

Private events and team bonding packages cater for up to 60 guests.
Venue hire is available for two or four hours, with drinks selections and catering on offer.
Booking the boss in as the Janitor is an easy icebreaker for a team that does not usually socialise together.
The venue is indoors and air-conditioned, so it works in any weather and any season.

Answers to Common Cocktail Class Questions

Is Alcotraz a cocktail class or a show?

It is an immersive show rather than a sit-down class. Inmate bartenders mix your four drinks while actors run a prison storyline around you, and how involved you get is entirely up to you.

How many people can come to Alcotraz in Chippendale?

Groups of up to 30 can book online, and private events and team bonding packages cater for up to 60 guests. Cells seat up to six, so booking in fours to sixes keeps friends together.

Can under-18s come along?

No. Alcotraz is strictly 18 and over, and every guest needs valid ID, including anyone on the mocktail ticket.

Should we drive to Chippendale?

Parking in Chippendale is limited, so most groups are better off on public transport, with Central station a short walk away. There is street parking and paid parking nearby if someone does need to drive.
