We're always up for strange, unique, and interesting experiences in Joburg. And recently, we discovered a one-of-a-kind journey in the heart of Greenside. So, without giving away too much too soon, get ready to serve your time at Take No Prisoner Cocktail Bar, Greenside's best kept secret! Prepare to be convicted, get your mugshot captured, smuggle liquor for creative and refreshing cocktails, and enjoy engaging playful interactions.
What Is It About?
Combining a special fusion of atmosphere, skilled mixology, and captivating storytelling, Take No Prisoner Cocktail Bar creatively brings the South African prison experience to life.
Enter their prison-themed "hideaway" in Greenside, where fellow "inmates" serve interestingly named cocktails like Painkiller, Cufftails, and Mug Shots. Get your "mugshot" taken and begin a unique experience that includes everything from smuggling alcohol for custom cocktails to fun and interactive roles.
What To Expect at Take No Prisoner Cocktail Bar?
While sipping on flavourful cocktails, Take No Prisoner provides a theatrical immersive experience that offers insights into life behind bars. Here, the mystique of prisons, crafty mixology, and a speakeasy atmosphere come together to create moments that will be remembered in every glass.
Get ready to be found guilty! After the mugshot and slipping on your matching regulation jumpsuits, the trouble begins as you are formally inducted as an "inmate". This is a one-of-a-kind and entertaining experience for you and your friends. If anything, it'll make your bond stronger! Sneak in liquor to have bespoke cocktails crafted, while playfully bribing guards for special favours.
The cocktails are served by fellow "inmates", and are skillfully created, depending on what you manage to smuggle in. Tucked away in a "cell", savour and enjoy a delectable selection of cocktails that will add even more intrigue to your drinking experience.
New prisoners are encouraged to use their imaginations when smuggling alcohol. And to be cautious and aware of the crooked guards and the Warden's watchful eyes.
