Staff is great, but the theater layout is older and not as comfortable as others. It’s like an old school theater, with a slant, and you’ll share a table with the person sitting next to you unless you’re the aisle seat.Last time I visited, the person sitting next to me was on his phone with the ringer on multiple times and staff did notice and immediately told him to put it away.
Love alamo! The village is a bit older, but the movies are just as good, the food is just as good, and the beer is just as good! The season pass is a steal if you live somewhere like Austin with lots of Alamos, and you love movies.5 stars, and would give more if I could. Im not sure if I could ever go to an AMC or Cinemark ever again.Also the prickle fries are back!
One of the older ones so not quite as amazing as the mod ones in a few ways (1st row seats here are actually the first row, unlike Slaughter where they took out the actual first row, but still have recliners), but as always, just awesome. Alamo is an Austin standard, the previews, little details, the service, the whole experience is unlike any other theater in the country. Alamo rocks
As a cinema, it ticks all the boxes. Comfortable seats and a great screen and audio. Service was shocking. We had our oder clearly displayed for 45 minutes before it was taken. Food was ok but not worth that sort of wait
Went to see a popular first run movie. The staff are on point for your questions and food requests. A fun atmosphere with beer on tap.
I love this place and always have great service INSIDE THE MOVIE THEATER.I’m giving it 4 stars because the folks up front just don’t acknowledge you. I’ve never once been greeted. When you make eye contact they just kind of avoid you.
So happy they survived the pandemic!! Love this place the servers always do a phenomenal job and seem to be in such a good mood. Neighborhood treasure
Great service and food. The only thing that sucks about this theater is there arent double ailes like other theaters. So if your sear is on the far left, you are right next to a wall.
You pretty much need to plan ahead to go here, but it is a beloved Austin institution. Movie theatres that serve alcohol and a full menu are no longer a new concept, but this is the original.
Great experience and great food seeing a double feature of Escape from NY and Escape from LA. Love that we have a local theater that puts on older movies and makes an event out of it.
Ive been coming to this location for decades. I like the small theater feel. Nice cozy and incredible staff.
Teri (the GM) is professional and very welcoming, but seems to be have a near psychotic fondness for cats. The floor manager (Beth?) is a stone cold FOX (she also seemed good at her job or whatever). I wouldnt kick her out of bed for eating crackers! Projection was on point! Image was crisp, sound was fantastic! My server Kevin was super helpful and made the experience very enjoyable!
Great staff and fun experience! Full menue and bar to kick it another notch for your movie!
This is my go-to theatre! So happy it’s opened back up. This location has the best food and service out of all of the Alamos I’ve been to in Austin. Everything is always hot and comes our quick. The servers are also super helpful and attentive here. My favorite thing about this location is the recliners in the front row. I always go for these seats, they are amazing!! Such a fun experience to sit in the recliners, I would highly recommend it. This is not something that is at all Alamos, so it makes this location special! Also they strictly enforce the no talking policy. I love how quiet and respectful the audiences are at this theatre too. The sound is always at the perfect volume and the picture always looks great. This is my favorite theatre in Austin.
Terrible experience, great movie tho(sonic2). First our waiter had a hat on🤔, really counterintuitive when you dont want to block the screen. I watched as he made rounds twice and didnt see our white paper in the dark(he didnt pick up the ticket until we made eye contact, felt like if I didnt he would have never picked it up, btw). He also hit every chair in the row behind us, Im sorry but is it your first night because that can only explain THAT. Ask for a tk go box after I leave the bathroom thinking, man was I rude? You know what i see our waiter let me ask him so he doesnt have to bother. My response was, him on the phone saying hell bring it in(another 10 min wait).
The margarita pizza is always my favorite. Comfortable seats so long movies are no problem. And easy viewing
Alamo Drafthouse is bar none the best place to see a movie in Austin. Its great to see a theater with a true passion for cinema. The themed menus are always fantastic and they have a great selection of new movies and classic films along with themed showings.
It’s just a “Meh” for me. If you don’t have time to grab a meal elsewhere, the food isn’t bad but it isn’t very good either… and way over priced
Amazing place to watch movies. great good. great drinks and great service.
Good way to watch a movie, sadly when I went a power outage had spoiled most of the food options, but staff was good at providing what they could
Great to be back at the movies. Love ya, and that avocado toast is all that: crunchy, creamy and a bit of bite.
Alamo has the MOST fun movie parties, events and staff. They are super creative with what they find and show before the previews; there is a deep appreciation of films across all genres, and darn good food. I love my local Drafthouse. #alamomovieparty
For being one of the smaller, older Alamo’s this one is by far my favorite. Great staff, comfortable seats and a very nice set up for not being stadium seating. Super happy this location stuck around.
Alamo Drafthouse is the only way we watch movies because they have perfected the movie theatre experience. From when the staff takes your order, to the timed food deliveries, we dont feel any distractions while watching whatever film we are watching. The food is good and they have great options for any diet. Love this Austin staple.
Such a great establishment and experience for my son I while celebrating his 13th birthday (we saw GREENBOOK a great movie btw)! Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. That along with the classic cozy feel of the theater made for many amazing memories. I will definitely be visiting here again when I return. *All food and drinks are freshly prepared onsite (we had pizza pepperoni and I think the goat cheese one and it was MINDBLOWING). They have a multitude of items you can choose from along with a ADULT BEVERAGE MENU!!!I can not stress this enough: get the banana split drink! The only regret you will have is the hangover!Purchase your tickets online and you get perks and bonus points.
So glad the Village is back! Its my favorite location by far. Majority of patrons are not pretentious. (At least from my experience.) Love the staff. My server a couple times has been Mike, and he is awesome. I even had my wallet fall out of my purse one time and a manager, Bridgette, found me to message me! I didnt even realize it was missing. The Village is the best.

2022-07-15Ive had positive experiences at every Alamo location. Their menu is fantastic, and their service is excellent. The idea of dinner with your movie is a fantastic concept and is executed well. However, I understand that the workers are treated poorly by corporate with incredibly low pay. I will be looking for a worker friendly alternative (unionize!), but until then Alamo is my go to theater.

2022-06-02Buffalo cauliflower is amazing! But they ran out of it 🤨also the one menu item weve loved since inception is the fried pickles because they were spears not chips. That is no longer the case which is disappointing. Service is always great and beer selection is on point. Clean and comfortable seating.

2022-07-13Obviously couldnt take pictures in the theater but the service was amazing and Ive never had a cinema experience like that. Menu and table at your seat so you can order before or during the movie at anytime. We got an order of chocolate chip cookies to be delivered in the middle of the movie. You almost forget that youve ordered them so its like a nice surprise. Also all the little clips before the movie that pertain to the movie was so much better than regular advertisements.

2022-05-27This is not my favorite Alamo Drafthouse location. I really think this franchise is the bees knees but this theater is just OK. I hate even saying that. The seats are OK, the screens feel small, and I dont even know if they are smaller than usual but they look like it to me. The service is top notch as always and the food and drinks are too! Overall its an OK experience that even great service and food doesnt make up for. Glad to see it busy regardless.

2022-03-05My favorite of all the Alamo theaters simply due to its small size. I love the cozy feeling of smaller theaters. Food was good as always and I cannot get enough of their carefully created, themed pre-show entertainment. So much better than sitting through 30 minutes of advertisements in normal theaters and is enough to ensure I always get there early just to see what theyve put together.

2022-07-02We have loved the Alamo since the day it opened. This was the first movie out since the pandemic & other than a smaller menu with a few less choices not much has changed. Clean space, friendly staff, and enough options to please just about anyone, movie or food & beverage wise. Good times & So glad it has survived!

2022-06-09The Alamo continues to please, even under the new management. I hope its quirkiness never gets watered down.The food was good, as always, as was the service. My only complaint on my last visit was the unusually small portion of fish I received with my order of fish and chips. Hopefully not a trend.

2022-03-08I love the Drafthouse, and with this being the closest location to me I am there semi regularly. The service is great and the lobby accessable bar is a treat. The seats are a little worn and cracked, but its cozy. In all, its the Drafthouse. What else do you need?I will say they have dropped a few notches for me with the truncated menu, while their competitors offer a wider selection, and I am wondering if the old menu is ever returning. Being able to eat in the theater has always been a big draw, but now that it is just pizza, burgers and chicken tenders, it is starting to make more sense to just eat on the way rather than pay double for a selection I could get from a drive through. Or go to one of the other theaters in town that do offer a pre-COVID selection.

2022-04-08Ive always enjoyed the Alamo drafthouse, from every location Ive been to in Austin. Great food, drinks and the customer service will leave you waiting to tip your waiter for a lack of a better word 😅. No but frfr go to a your local Alamo and if youre around Austin, go to the cinema village location. Promise youll love it

2022-05-02We came to see Hot Fuzz as Alamo Drafthouse was holding a 15th Anniversary Movie Party. The Host was lame, but she got the people involved.I had the Royale with cheese, it was delicious and the fries were hot. I was disappointed with my Shiner Bock, did Not taste like it was supposed to. Was more bitter, like another brand Bock, than it was meant to be, do either the beer was compromised or it wasnt Shiner. I did order a second one to make sure that it wasnt just a mistake the first time, but nothing different then either.My partner enjoyed her food and was happy to see the plastic straw for the soda.
