"Alamo Drafthouse When husband-and-wife team Tim and Karrie League opened the Alamo Drafthousein 1997, the idea of serving beer and food inside a movietheater felt revolutionary. You can now find locations of the Drafthouse from California to New York. The growth was built not just on the food-and-beverage concept but on the strength of the theater’s programming andalove of film that permeates every aspect of the operation. In addition tocommercial movie screenings, Alamo Drafthouse theaters feature repertory screenings, quote-alongs, sing-alongs, and other playful events, and the South Lamar location also hosts the country’s biggest genre film festival, Fantastic Fest."

The theater seats were very comfortable and the sound in the theater was good. The employees were friendly. The theme of this theater is lame. Little Shop of Horrors? It's nothing more than a decoration in the lobby. They're are two robots outside and a loader from Alien in the lobby. This location lacks an identity. Also the lobby felt like a generic movie theater--if I didn't know I was at Alamo, I wouldn't have guessed. It could be any of its competitors. There's a line set up for tickets that looks like you're getting concessions, which contributes to this.

Say what you want about the changes Alamo has gone through since Covid, it is still the best option if you actually intend on enjoying your movie. Sure, other chains are cheaper, but they are cheaper for a reason. The people are rude and talk throughout, babies and kids or teens are trying to go viral on TikTok ruining your experience. You do not have to worry about that at Alamo, and I have never had a bad experience here. The food is always good and the service is great. This is a place to enjoy movies and I love it!

It’s the best movie theater in the world! I prefer the movie selection at Alamo S Lamar but Slaughter is my neighborhood Alamo, the parking is ample and the service is great!

We really enjoy our visits to the Alamo Drafthouse. Our family has monthly passes so we can see all the new movies for a single monthly cost, about the price of a single movie. The food and drinks are great, but can get pricey if trying to feed an entire family on each visit. We tend to stick to a drink and take advantage of their bottomless popcorn. When you’re done with the bowl of popcorn, they will bring you another. They will even bring extra bowls to make it easier for the family to share.

Theater design is pretty cool. I am an Alamo Pass holder, but may not continue with this movie pass over the AMC A-List pass after this visit. I arrived 30 minutes early, sat at the bar and decided to get a drink. I finished it and the bartender kept walking around me and my empty glass until it was time for me to take my theater seat (30 minutes later). Never offered me another drink, nor any kind of conversation all the while it looked like he was visiting other patrons, offering more drinks, and asking questions about their day and movie interests. Seems like he was especially attentive to the beautiful blond woman that was in the seat next to me. As for the movie and movie experience, it's the only reason I'm leaving 3 stars. If this were an actual bar, it would be a 1 star review. I do like visiting the different Alamos in Austin and this one is now probably my least favorite.

I like the popcorn with butter and the warm chocolate chip cookies. So scrumptious! I also like the no late arrivals policy and the no phone or texting rules. The staff were friendly and nice, but I don't like being asked to pay while the movie is still going on.

My first time visiting here. What a place!!!!!!! You write down what you want to eat on paper . Press your button and they come take it paper away . Then bring your food/drink you ordered. The film was brilliant could have watched it again back to back. The food was amazing & the service was 10/10 . I'll be returning to watch another film and having lunch again.

I’m mute, and while I don’t speak, I do laugh—just not in the way most people are used to hearing. During a recent visit to Alamo Drafthouse, I was told to “be quiet” for laughing. Not talking. Not being disruptive. Laughing. It felt unfair and isolating. The policy around “no talking” is something I respect—it’s part of what makes the Alamo experience enjoyable. But when that policy is enforced without awareness or flexibility, it ends up policing people with disabilities just for existing differently. I wasn’t being loud or distracting. I was enjoying the movie the way anyone else would. If my laugh doesn’t sound typical, that doesn’t make it a disruption. It’s still just laughter. I hope this is a wake-up call for Alamo Drafthouse staff to receive better training in handling guests with communication differences or disabilities. Inclusion isn’t just about ramps or captions—it’s about recognizing that not everyone experiences or expresses joy the same way. Let people laugh. That’s the point of going to the movies in the first place.

My husband and I decided to go to the movies during the day. We chose to watch The Naked Gun at Alamo Drafthouse so that we could eat good food and watch at the same time. We parked, walked in, and walked up to the ticket stand. The man behind the counter pulled up the screen and asked us to choose our seats. After we chose our seats we paid and headed to the theatre. My husband hadn't been to the movies in years and was surprised by the changes. He liked the lobby area, the food, and he enjoyed the reclining seats in the theatre. He said that with the way the seats are set up now you could sit anywhere in the theatre and still see the screen comfortably. After finding our seats, we wrote on the paper what we wanted to eat and pushed the button for service. Shortly after our waitress came and introduced herself, she took our order cards and placed our order. We gave her a credit card to keep on file in case we wanted to order more. She was very friendly throughout. I ordered the Baked Pretzel that comes with Queso and Mustard. I also ordered a Fried Chicken Sandwich which comes with a fried chicken breast, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, aioli, and your choice of sauce or dry rub. I chose the Mustard BBQ sauce, and I added Avacado and a Fried Egg. It comes with a side of fries but I requested tortilla chips instead. My husband also got the fried chicken sandwich but he got his as it comes with a side of fries. The pretzel was warm and soft. The queso and mustard were yummy and great with the pretzel and with the crispy and thin tortilla chips that came with my chicken sandwich. The Fried Chicken Sandwich was really tasty. The fried chicken was a good size, the avacado and fried egg made for an extremely filling sandwich. The other ingredients added texture and the mustard BBQ sauce added flavor. My husband enjoyed his meal. Overall Alamo Drafthouse is a great option to go to watch a movie. It has a really cool atmosphere, the theatre and seating are comfortable, and the food is good.

An awesome location with well lit and open interior, but lacks the character of some of the other Austin locations. Solid service from the staff and the food was good. The pricing is still ridiculous and is the only reason I don't frequent it more often. Special occasions or their special events will be the only reason to return.

First, I will never patronize a Sony-owned company again. They are stealing employee tips, charging a mandatory 18% gratuity and putting it into a fund to financially help other Alamo locations. Because of severe understaffing, and taking food orders in the dark, you are guaranteed to experience very slow service and no resolution to incorrect food and drink orders. In my case, I do not want spooge on anything (i.e. no mayo, no aioli, no sour cream, etc). The food comes with it by default, and forget special orders. Based on the above, you are guaranteed a poor and overpriced experience. You are better off going to a regular theater, ordering from their menu and perhaps smuggling in items they do not sell. Hopefully someday they will take all the orders up front, so they can get them right the first time and in a timely fashion. Best of luck, and remember, buyer beware!

We went to Alamo Drafthouse slaughter to watch the new Superman movie. I love seeing movies at Alamo with their uniquely curated previews. It's always recommended to get there 30 minutes before so you don't disturb others and you don't miss any of the previews. Seat numbers are easy to find and the seats are very comfortable recliners. They have food and drink specials for the movie. We had their Superman supreme pizza with mozzarella sticks And fried chicken sandwich in mustard barbecue sauce with fries. Everything was delicious and the staff are gracious and service is quick. The theater is conveniently located in South Boston and has ample parking.

The Slaughter location has personal use stationary tables in the theaters with a bag hook on the underside. All tables do also have a small light on the bottom however quite a few are non-functional. The Slaughter location offers baby shows, movie parties and lots of fun one-off showings. The staff is usually helpful when food-related issues arise, such as when a food item is delayed for more than 30 minutes. (Unfortunately, this has become a semi-regular occurrence.) The food prices have certainly increased, and this location adds an additional 18% service fee to every order. It's quite easy to spend $20-$30 per person on food, not including alcoholic beverages. It's also worth noting that you can't order a half order or a "side order" of fries for an entree like a wrap. The staff informed us that they can only do half orders for the loaded fries specifically. The unlimited popcorn however is a great deal and can easily be split between several people. The right side of the Slaughter building entrance has an accessible door with a push button option and both sides of the theater have an accessible bathroom stall in the Women's or Men's bathrooms. There are limited accessible parking spaces on the front left of the building but the spots fill up quickly on weekends. I've seen a few people utilize a caption device during shows provided by the Drafthouse. Accessibly helps everyone!

Apparently they don't let you in 15 minutes post the movie start time? Straight up denied us entry. I've never been to a place that does this. insane

I really want to enjoy eating here, but the setup makes it difficult. I'm tall, yet the trays are positioned so far away from the seats that it's awkward to use them. It would help if the trays swiveled or were placed closer, because right now it's almost impossible to eat without sauces or food falling onto your shirt. These days I only order popcorn since it's the easiest to manage. Please consider updating the tray design, it would make the experience so much more enjoyable!

The speed and service of the team at Alamo Drafthouse is second to none! They were very accommodating for our work group, and we always enjoy the opportunity to come visit this location. My favorite part about their menu options is that you can find something for everyone - kids, adults (plenty of cocktail/wine/seasonal draft beer options), and all dietary needs. They do a great job with marketing their selections based on the latest movie features and what's coming soon (e.g., themed drinks/food specials). My one knock is that it's been quite a few years since the furniture was refreshed, so I imagine that they're due to make some updates in the near future (our seats/armrests were quite warn/torn).

We went to see Wicked last week and our experience was pretty cool. My carnivore pizza was delicious. The cookies were a little burned though. I did get a cocktail and it was okay. The service was great! They were fast, friendly and correct. Most people seemed to get there earlier than the movie which I'm sure helped them to order and eat before the movie started. We arrived right went the lights went down because we are used to 30 minutes of previews in other theaters. The seats in the back were set at reclined so it made eating a little tougher but not impossible. Then of course you can press buttons and recline more. We sat in the last row and the drinks on the tables can get in the way of the screen but not terrible. Just know that it's an "eating at a table" theater experience and you should be fine.

I love alamo drafthouse ! Service was super fast and friendly. Had their chips and queso with beef and as always it was amazing . My favorite thing on the menu is their cauliflower bites they're incredible I wish I could have them everyday! We also had one of their pizzas and it was okay, wish the thin crust was a bit crispier. Its always such a great time coming to the drafthouse !

In related news, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, WT-everloving-F. Your menu shrank, I accepted that. But now your portions have gotten ridiculous. I ordered a Classic Double, and I got two patties so small they were about the combined size of a simple burger from P Terry's. If you're going to charge about three times as much for a burger, it better be gluttonous. Last time we went, it was the nacho portions that shrank enough that we both made a face. On top of that, you charge an 18% surcharge, AND ask for tips? It's been a great three decades, but the best parts of you died of Covid, and what is left is a shell. I think I'm done.

This is a review about service. I ordered fish and chips, watched the previews, and the movie came on. I was enjoying the movie when I suddenly realized my food hadn't arrived yet. :( I hit the little button and the server came over and he went to check on the order. He said the order had been dropped in the kitchen and they were making another one. I know that's probably code for...oops, I never put the order in but I don't care about that stuff. I waited tables in my youth. I got my bill and they had charged me twice for the fish and chips. Considering I had waited about 45 minutes for my order he took both orders off and my bill was zero!!! I had him ring me up a side of ranch and left him a decent tip on that since I didn't have any cash. Waiting tables isn't easy and I have been in his shoes before. :) Thanks for the good service and training your waiters well. :)

I love the app but I wish there was a way to preload giftcards. Buffalo cauliflower is my go to, SO good!! We also split a burger. Good but super messy. It was supposed to come with waffle fries but we got regular fries with a cold waffle fry thrown in. Overall, we love Alamo Drafthouse. The food is good, the seats are comfy and I like how they don't tolerate talking or cell phone use.

I actually went there to avoid EVO and younger folks and their phones. I didn't take into account that I'd be seated next to 2 60 year old women who were day drunk...which is one of the negatives of theaters serving booze. After they wouldn't shut up for 20-30 mins of the movie my husband said something to them. They proceeded to calls us names (we gave as good as we got) and eventually a manager removed them. It was like watching drunk fools get removed from a flight. So good job Alamo. I hope you didn't give them their money back seeing that we didn't get discounted food or tickets after being called various profanities all for the crime of wanting them to be quiet in the movie. I wish nothing but bad things for the two women who are way too old to act in such a way in public. Anywho - I bet these 2 karens went off to Chico's and had a drunken shopping spree afterwards. I hope their bladders prolapse and they develop a condition that requires them to wear compression socks for the rest of their lives. I look forward to seeing the movie streaming so I can watch the 30 mins that I missed.

The slaughter lane location has the same great features of every Alamo and has a great horror movie theme. As usual a great place to watch a film, my only negatives are a crowded parking lot even for weekdays and the recliners could use replacing as they are old and not as spacious as others! But otherwise the great service and good Alamo is known for.

Alamo Slaughter Lane - doesn't it sound like the perfect spot to see endless horror-themed movies?! I have seen well over a dozen of movies here (not all of them were horror ones) and this location is easily one of my favorites in Austin to come to. It is one of the best locations to be able to see a new releases without stress or having to sacrifice getting a good seat. Service here is always one point, as all other Alamo locations, and attentive. We are always greeted by friendly servers who are super cool and often quirky which just stamps the Alamo uniqueness of seeing movies. I love the Alien photo opportunity in the lobby and any other special showing or backgrounds for the latest movies showing. The bar next door is also a great way to show up early, grab a drink, and wait around until you can get into your movie screening. It's all about being early to ANY Alamo screenings as their signature curated movie and video clips are worth coming in for alone. The mini tables in the movie theater is the highlight, for me, here. It is SUPER easy to get in and out of your seat regardless if you come in with someone, friends, or just by yourself. Having the half tables for each seat is so so ideal for anyone who may need to get up (to dance if you are at one of those screenings, go to the restroom, or need to stretch your legs). Oh and parking here is always easy and so many spots. Never an issue getting in and out of here as we never have an issue finding a spot to park even for sold out shows.

I love Alamo drafthouse. By FAR the best movie theater experience ive ever had. this location on slaughter lane is actually my favorite across the whole city: its theater rooms have 'bigger screens' than the other ones ive found, and more importantly, its not as packed as the others, due to its far south Austin location.

I don't like writing bad reviews but this was annoying. The idea of having a waiter in a movie theatre sounds nice, but we would rather get our own popcorn refills at the counter than deal with this. We paid nearly $10 for mediocre "bottomless" popcorn, but got our original bowl a half hour into the movie, and never got a refill even when we verbally asked for one and had up an order card asking for a refill. Our waiter walked by multiple times after we asked, as well as him and two other waiters walked past and saw the card up. Also, we ordered the chocolate chip cookies and they all came out burnt. Way overpriced for bad snacks and bad service. The salted caramel shake was the highlight of this experience.

I am a fan of all of the Alamo locations but this one I would consider our "home" location. It's closest to the house and has some good theming in the lobby. The food is always good, the popcorn is by far the best i've had, and I really enjoy their vegan burger. The service is always friendly and prompt and their chairs are super comfortable. 10/10 would recommend.

This was my first time ever at an alamo drafthouse! I really liked the Experience of ordering food right at your seat! We had the pepperoni pizza, side Caesar salad, and popcorn. The popcorn bowl was huge! It was only Jeff and I and only needed one bowl. We loved how tasty the pepperoni pizza was. The salad was spicy! I actually couldn't eat it because it was making my lips burned. Service was great and loved how nice our waiter was. It was a fun experience and we will definitely be back again!!

We went to the Alamo Drafthouse over the weekend with the intention of buying tickets to see The Little Mermaid on Saturday but ended up buying tickets for the Sunday showing and seeing Transformers on Saturday. Apparently, they are doing a test run of "Silent Service" at the Slaughter Location. Basically, you are just ordering and doing everything yourself before the movie. You scan the QR code at your seat and it brings up the menu and you select everything and then input your card. You are only able to use it until the last trailer stops and then you have to buzz them to come. They informed me that this way they aren't giving checks in the middle of the movie but you are still delivering food during the movie. I did have a gift card though and was unable to do the "Silent Service" on Saturday. On Sunday we were able to use "Silent Service" and I did enjoy it. The reclining seats were very relaxing, and my daughter noticed that you could raise one of the armrests. That was a nice surprise also. When we were at the Saturday movie we were in row 2 and I thought it was going to be very close to the screen but in reality it was still a good distance. The Sunday movie we were in row 9 and I'm not going to lie I liked row 2 more. But that is just me.

Even if you love movies if you are watching one in 2025 at this place you really don't. How am I gonna have an enjoyable movie experience when I have waiters coming back and forth in my aisle making noise blocking my view...LIKE MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!!! This place is not cheap either. Hell no never again.

Food is good and staff are friendly but its expensive. We went to the opening night of Godzilla vs Kong as our daughter loves these films. We tried to get a couple of the pint glasses on opening night "SOLD OUT" we were told due to poor sales on Indian Jones they made a limited amount of these. I call BS the staff took them for them self's so if you want one of these commemorative glasses you may have to slip them a few $$ on top of the automatic 18% gratuity. Yelp is asking for a photo but I already threw away my $202 food receipt. Love, a really disappointed movie family

Although Alamo was the original movie theater to have full service food and alcohol drink service at your seat, and it was exceptional, they can no longer compare to the other theaters in town that offer the same service. Food is mediocre, drinks are the same. The seats are somewhat comfortable but not the most comfy in town but the tables are awful. No one wants to continually lean forward, sideways to eat, or drop food on them selves if they choose not to eat over the table. This is the main reason I will no longer go to Alamo. At least until they update the table to swing over the seats like their competition. They did update the seats but come on, do the tables! Also, I ordered a glass of wine and it was not quite 3oz! This was the biggest disappointment! Especially for the price. And yes, I know prices are frequently marked up 3X but this was way beyond that and I knew it but expected a 4oz pour minimally but really should have been a 5oz pour minimally. The server just blamed it on the bartender and said he could not do anything. Whatever!

Boy do I love movies with table service! After a Friday night, I don't wanna do NOTHING!!! So, I took my friend to his first rendezvous at the Alamo Draft House! Dinner and a movie with reclined seats and no clean. Yes & more please. I love that the have options for all pallets. Anyone can dine here. The cauliflower wings, yum. My friend got a Cob salad and he loved it! I got a burger which was super tasty! And when I asked if I could sub the fries for popcorn (what's a movie in a theatre without popcorn!), they said YES! The food is pretty good, especially because I had LOW expectations. This is such a fun concept and I love that this location has reclining seats... I always bring a blankey cause you're girl likes to be comfy! Alamo is a total GO!

Why is the shake machine always down? This is for both locations (S Lamar). I don't know if it's when it's slow the machine is "down". Tbh we only go for the shakes. The popcorn is alright and the food is overpriced for the quality. Even though there's no food over all we like Cinemark more especially the popcorn, candy and seats. but we come to Alamo for the shakes bc they're sooooo good. We even tried calling ahead of time before we buy tickets to ask if the machine is working but no one ever answers.

Went here tonight for $7 Tuesday shows and watched Avatar. We picked up our ticket's yesterday which was easy. Went to today's 615pm show and the theatre was clean and we were waited on quickly and our food arrived quickly and it was warm and tasty. We had the Royal cheeseburger with fries and the all meat pizza with a shake to top it off. The seats are a little hard to get in and out of but I guess that's expected so you can have a small table to eat on. Parking was ample and the people are nice, come on out to see a movie.

Visited for the second time last night for a preview. The lobby and wait area are big. As we got seated we had to wait a bit to place our order since the theater was packed. The seats are comfortable and you have a clear view of the screen. Theater was clean. We ordered and food was brought up fairly quick. I ordered the Chicken tenders with fries with the Hatch chili gravy sauce (that sauce was bomb). These were probably one of the best crunchiest tenders I have had (from a movie theater). My guest ordered bottomless popcorn and it was refilled about 3 times. We ordered drinks they are also refilled a few times. Staff was attentive and courteous. Besides the Lamar location, I'd say that this is my other favorite Alamo Drafthouse Location.

I really enjoy the Alamo drafthouse experience of headed to the movies, and this location represents! Whether it's one of the more mainstream movies that's just coming out, or an older flick (think Rocky Horror during Halloween), this place knows how to capture the interests of many! One of the original places to grab good food and boozy drinks while watching a movie, I've yet to have an Alamo meal that wasn't amazing. I really enjoyed their pepperoni or meat lovers style pizza. Contrastingly, the veggie plate is also really good (hummus, carrots, etc.) Neat place to go to for the movies and right in S Austin!!

Going to see movies at the Alamo Drafthouse is the ultimate experience. They have a full menu of food and drinks. Everything ends up tasting much better than anticipated (considering it's a move theater). The reclining chairs and efficient service left me feeling incredibly relaxed and entertained. Check them out (and be sure to verify if the Alamo location you pick has the recliner's...they're the best!)

Been here many times and I love this place. Great service, great food and a quiet place to enjoy a movie. I especially love the matinees when I am off so that I can enjoy a movie while the kids are in school. What sets Alamo Drafthouse apart from other movie theaters has always been the service, quality of the food and an overall movie experience that allows me to shut off the world for a couple of hours and be entertained. Lately, Alamo has tried to have patrons use a QR code to order food which I don't like at all. I don't mind the 18% that you all have added recently to our bills and to which I also add an additional tip, just keep your wait staff. If I have to use a QR code to order food I might as well go somewhere else to watch a movie, stand in line and get it myself..

My fav location! I'm from Florida and they have a similar experience called Cine Bistro and Alamo is wayyy better. My second fav movie experience is AMC Dolby. The menu is always great, the quality is always great and the service is awesome. Don't forget to tip your server well. I once accidentally went to the location on S. Lamar and the seats are so narrow to the counter that sits in front of you that someone knocked their drink on me as they got up to walk past me, so I'm never going back. Plus the location on Slaughter is newer and just better seating. The recliner is spacious and comfy. It's just a much better movie experience and reminds me of being at home. The loaded fries are just an appetizer but they are my fav. The beer, wine, and cocktail menu are impressive. I also buy people gift cards to this location for many occasions. There's not a bad seat in the house. If you get here early there's a beautiful bar outside of the theater. We'll be back for every Marvel movie slated this year, LOL.

I had yet to visit the Alamo Drafthouse on SoLa since it reopened after all of the construction. I was able to buy my tickets online and show them to my server from my phone once we were seated. The seats were super comfortable and service was quick to grab us waters and take our order. I got the fried pickle fries with a side of ranch and they were so worth my cheat meal! It was actually a pretty big portion for being an appetizer. Something to note- you can park in the parking garage near the drafthouse for free.

What a venue for a movie! The visuals have Sony 4k projectors & great accompanying sound (not sure if Atmos). The draft beers were "hoppy" & the food tasty. Great place for the family or a date!

From customer service to ambiance, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this theater. This particular theater has reclining seats and personal desk tables rather than the high bar table at other Alamo Drafthouses. I got the pizza with Brussels sprouts and goat cheese -- delicious! The fried pickles were good too. Don't expect the fried pickles to be chips, they're spear shaped... if that matters. If there's one negative critique, it's how loud the speakers were. It seemed insanely loud. I consider myself more on the hard of hearing side... and I thought the sound level was ridiculous. It was a good thing I wasn't watching an action movie, I don't know if I would have been able to handle it the whole time. All in all, a good experience and if in the area, I'd go again.

What a cool looking theater!!! Small, but spacious. Great service and their menu had so many great options to choose from. I highly recommend the churro popcorn! I really enjoyed watching Black Panther here and would definitely go back.

Food service 5 star Best I've ever seen. Popcorn had just the right amount of butter and Salt. Seats comfortable and for a minute I thought I was at home. Quality of projection perfect.

Great layout, lobby, and staff! It's only missing a bit more AD substance. Great experiences all around.

The Half Baked movie was great, but the food was so disgusting! The popcorn mix was good, but the Mac and cheese with pork was sweet and it tasted gross! Nobody seemed to like it. The dessert was also gross. I paid way too much money to get such a gross dinner that I didn't eat. Very dissatisfied! We have all been sick from the small amount we did eat! We loved the movie, but the food was horrible!

***PREFACE: IF YOU ARE PLUS-SIZED OR WELL-ENDOWED ON THE BACKSIDE, CONSIDER GOING TO ANOTHER LOCATION OR THEATRE*** I called a little while ago and spoke with the Manager on Shift named D about some feedback I had, but wanted to provide it in writing in the hopes that it will assist in improving your overall customer experience - I'm a plus-sized woman and haven't been out to an Alamo Drafthouse since before the Pandemic began. I was extremely excited to see "The Batman" film and upon entering the theatre for our 2:30PM showing, was immediately concerned with the way the seating is now designed in the theatres at the Slaughter Lane (and possibly other) locations. The seats are extremely cramped, the tables so close together that an individual that is either plus-sized like myself or well-endowed on their backside have trouble getting into, but more so, out of the seats. While I appreciate the change over to nice loungers with elevated leg-rests, but the spacing is incredibly tight. Once our movie was over, I had an extremely difficult time getting out of my seat and I hurt my back as a result. I don't know about you, but I don't exactly expect to go see a movie at a theatre with the expectation that if I'm bigger than other people, I'll be hurting myself in the process to get in and out. Manager D told me that there've been several complaints about this from other people, but this is a concern for anyone larger like myself. Had I known that the the seating situation would be so difficult to get in and out of, I would have sought out another theatre to go to. While it is possible to select a seat from the handicap area to better accommodate my larger existence, if I went to see a film with a group of friends of my partner (both of which I did today), doing so would force me to be apart from my group and likely take away from the overall experience. I know that it's no one's problem that I'm fat, but I know for a fact I'm not the first - nor last - fat, plus-sized individual who will enter your theatre. When it's time to remodel your location (or others), I hope that you will take into consideration that larger people deserve to be comfortable and enjoy their movie-going experience without risk of embarrassment or injury in trying to get out of their seats. Please take people of all sizes into consideration when remodeling and arranging your seating - it's already difficult being larger if a person has medical issues that contribute to their weight-struggle, and it's even more difficult for some of us to find the courage to go out with people and not feel like you stand out like a sore thumb for your size and the space you take up. We plus-sized folks want to go see a movie sometimes, too - please remember us when making seating arrangement considerations in the future. Thank you for your time, and I hope this isn't something that gets overlooked.

Saw Indy 5 here,m while visiting on opening day! We go to Alamo in Houston frequently and I thought this one was clean, good, and service was quick. Can't ask for much more from a movie theatre.

Feels more like an AMC than an Alamo. In general, I've been disappointed with vibe of Alamo Drafthouses here in Austin. They just aren't quirky, fun, or lively compared to those I've visited in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Cocktails are always disappointing. Good chocolate chip cookies.

Alamo, what happened?? Tonight was the worst experience. My server forgot my food order. No one came by to take my card and get refills. We waited (the entire theater) for 15 minutes AFTER the movie was over to get our checks. Complete chaos Tonight. Very dissapointing!!
