Not every night out begins with a jumpsuit and a smuggled bottle—but at The Lock-Up Lounge, that’s exactly the plan. Step inside Bristol’s most notorious secret bar, where the inmates run the place, the guards turn a blind eye (for the right price), and you’re part of the story. Sneak in your chosen spirit, dodge the Warden’s watchful eye, and watch as your contraband is transformed into four tailor-made cocktails crafted right inside your cell.
