Avora immersive cocktail experience in London

Avora is an immersive cocktail experience from Inventive Productions, the company behind Alcotraz and Moonshine Saloon, at Unit 5C, 127 Hackney Road in Shoreditch, three minutes' walk from Hoxton station. Fever labels it a Fever exclusive, and the producer’s own site says official tickets are sold only on Fever. The story: a corporation called Roscorp has opened a gateway to a newly found planet, Avora, and is sending recruits through to study Luminol, a substance it says could change medicine and energy on Earth. You are one of the recruits.

The evening starts in the Roscorp lab. You check in, put coats and small bags in a belongings box and are fitted for an Avora jumpsuit, in sizes from S to 4XL, so there is no dress code. After a briefing from the expedition team, the first cocktail arrives in a lab flask to carry through the gateway. On the other side is the Avorians' world: a full-scale set of glowing plants, hanging growth and fibre-optic light that Fever says is designed like a film set, with tables of about six.

From there the cast plays the story out around your table, and each table is taken in turn into the shelter, the Avorians' own space. The second cocktail is served on a tree log and the third glows; the three stand for the three states of Luminol. Every drink has a mocktail version at the same price, and all are vegan-friendly and nut-free. Roscorp’s AI, CODA, runs on your own phone so you can investigate for yourself, and the producer says you can join in as much or as little as you like. No food is served.

Every session lasts 1 hour 45 minutes. The producer opens Tuesday to Sunday: 18:00 to 21:45 Tuesday to Thursday, 17:00 to 22:45 on Friday, 12:00 to 23:45 on Saturday and 16:00 to 19:45 on Sunday. From 3 November to 10 January the winter edition, Avora: Frozen Realm, replaces the regular show, with new cocktails, set design and storylines. On 11 November 2026 Fever had sessions on sale to 31 January 2027.

This is the cocktail night to book if you want a story and a set as well as a drink. It held 4.4 from 4,300 reviews on Fever on 11 November 2026, the largest review count of the cocktail shows in our London set, and recent reviews keep returning to the same things: actors who draw every table in, drinks that are strong and well made, and how different it feels from an evening in a bar. Unlike Moonshine Saloon you bring nothing: the three cocktails are in the ticket.

Prices on Fever on 11 November 2026, fee included: Intern 48.06 pounds (44.50 plus a 3.56 booking fee) for the experience and three cocktails; Researcher 53.46 pounds, which adds a flowering tea bud to take home; Doctorate 58.86 pounds, which adds a fourth, secret cocktail. The Intern ticket is the full show, and the one we would book; choose Doctorate if a fourth drink is worth about 11 pounds to you. Booking direct costs the same and leads to the same place: the producer’s site lists the three tickets at 44.50, 49.50 and 54.50 pounds before the fee and sends you to Fever to pay.

The closest rivals are the same company’s other two shows. Our cocktail show, Moonshine Saloon, near Liverpool Street, was from 41.04 pounds with 4.7 from 1,384 reviews on Fever on 30 October 2026, but you bring your own bottle of spirit; choose it for the Wild West costumes. Alcotraz, the prison version, is from 51 pounds on its own site with four cocktails, again from a bottle you bring. Choose Avora for the set, for drinks that are included, and if anyone in the group does not drink: the mocktails follow the same story.

If you would rather eat, our murder-mystery dinner, The Murdér Express, is a short taxi ride away in Bethnal Green. For a cheaper night, our comedy night, Soho Comedy Factory, is in the West End.
