"Functions as SXSW's secondary, film-focused hub across the river on South Lamar, forming a key part of the festival footprint during the film portion of the schedule." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Is Alamo Drafthouse the best movie theater chain in the country? In Austin, we say yes. But weâre biased: Alamo started here as a modest dine-in theater showing second-run movies. That was back in 1997. Itâs since become the quirkiest alternative to whatever your local outdated AMC has to offer. (Does AMC have a creepy projection of the Grady twins beckoning people into corridors that look like the hotel from The Shining? Didnât think so.) Even if the food isn't going to blow you away, Alamo is a good time. photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL Pause Unmute" - Matthew Jacobs
"Of course you can always get hitched at the events-focused movie theater, complete with screenings and food. The staff will work on themes as well, like Princess Bride or zombies." - Darcie Duttweiler
"After undergoing a major renovation in fall 2023, the South Lamar Alamo remains one of Alamoâs five Austin locations and hosts the Highball, a cocktail bar and karaoke spot; the South Lamar team also formed the union Drafthouse United in February 2021 and has been involved in the chainwide labor actions and negotiations." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The Alamo Drafthouse location on South Lamar (theatre 5 and theatre 6 at 1120 South Lamar Boulevard in Zilker) hosted additional SXSW screenings across formats, including a narrative brunch short, animated shorts, and an independent television pilot classified under the festivalâs food track that follows someone getting a job at a pizza spot presumed to be called Tossers." - Nadia Chaudhury
