Stylish theater chain serving cocktails & creative bites seat-side
"A full-service, dine-in theater inside the Bloc on Seventh and Flower Streets that blends new releases and repertory programming, enforces no-late-entry and no-disruption rules, and delivers food and drinks directly to reclining puffy seats. Its bottomless popcorn—served in a metal bowl—stays freshly made with a balanced clarified-butter flavor, and a rotating selection of bold toppings (notably spicy ranch and truffle Parmesan, with recent additions like chile garlic, churro, and dill pickle) makes it easy to sample multiple flavors in one visit; the venue also features an adjacent Video Vortex bar and video store with games and occasional karaoke." - Rebecca Roland
"The Bloc’s Alamo Drafthouse is a full movie‑going experience with assigned seating, cocktails and food delivered to your seat, bottomless popcorn or the churro popcorn tossed in cinnamon and maple, and a menu of fish and chips, pizza, burgers, loaded fries, milkshakes, cold brew, beer, wine, and an Alamo Old Fashioned—exactly the in‑seat cinema service you want." - Eater Staff
"A new multi-story movieplex at the redone Bloc in Downtown Los Angeles (adjacent to Macy’s near 7th and Flower) features 12 screening rooms totaling just under 570 seats and programs everything from rare screenings and one-off debuts to mini festivals, blockbusters, and indie films. Each theater seat provides access to a full menu of food and drink—service begins 30 minutes before trailers so patrons can place initial orders, and additional items can be ordered during screenings by writing them on a slip for staff to collect, a system designed to minimize disruptions. Downstairs, the Video Vortex offers an open bar and dining/gaming area with roughly 150 seats, a Tex‑Mex menu, movie‑themed cocktails, more than 45 craft beers on tap, arcade and board games, movie rentals, and merchandise for sale. Tickets are roughly $17, food and drink are overseen by chef Hondo Houston, hours vary with programming, and validated parking is available at the Bloc; members received early access before the general opening." - Farley Elliott
"The long-delayed Alamo Drafthouse movie theater and restaurant at the Bloc is set to open in July." - Farley Elliott
"An Austin-based dine-in movie theater concept bringing multiplex-style programming with about a dozen screening rooms designed for full food and beverage service, each seating around 80 guests for a combined cinema-and-dining entertainment experience in a major downtown retail complex." - Cathy Chaplin
