Another restaurant on the unusual list is the prison themed restaurant. Alcatraz is a prison themed restaurant based in Tokyo, Japan. In this restaurant, as the customers come in, they are handcuffed and taken to their prison cells for their dining experience! The cells are dark and equipped with low tables and chairs, which look like they are very uncomfortable to sit on, and you might leave the restaurant with a backache! The waiters are dressed in black and white striped clothes to resemble the inmates in real prisons. Once you are in your cell, you are locked in there till you finish with your dinner. If you want the waiter to get something for you, customers have to bang cups on the prison cell bars to get his attention, which I cant imagine would be easy. Their menu consists of dishes such as “Adultery Dish”, “Incest Salad” and cocktails named “Lethal Injection.” I don’t understand how anyone would enjoy eating in a place like this, but I guess it depends on people’s personalities and interests. In my opinion this type of restaurant is a very depressing place to go out with friends and family to enjoy a meal together. All the banging of cups on the prison cells to get waiters attention would get too noisy and annoying after a while, and I am sure it wont be noise from just your cell that you have hear. Some people say this restaurant was developed to show people the brutal side of prison life so they would steer away from committing crimes and ending up in jail for real, however I think there are much better ways to stop people committing crimes and getting the message this restaurant is supposedly doing.
