    "The Alamo Drafthouse Downtown theater features a renovated, luxurious recliner seating, curated first-run movies, and cult classics. It offers full-service, from-scratch dining, craft beers, and cocktails delivered to your seat, enforcing a strict no-talking/no-texting policy. " Alamo is getting my touchas into the theater! Why? It really is an experience that I'm obsessing over..how could this post COVID, happy to be a couch potato and stream away moviegoer want to see movies IRL? Alamo is delivering first class service.. You enter the theater and you are greeted, yes, old fashioned"Hello, welcome to Alamo" wait where am I? Courtesy? Smiling employees.. I'm Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz! The theater is well designed, elevator and escalators to get you to the multitude of theaters. Here's what I really love.. -the in dining service! Bottomless popcorn, pretzel with queso ( nice serving!) and mustard, shakes, burgers ( The Royale with Cheese!), fries, desserts, bottomless beverages.. whew! A smorgasbord at your fingers! Scan the bar code, employee comes over and let the service begins! The pretzel is my fave! - seating: comfy recliners, no " big head worries"( hey I'm 5'1"! These head blockers obscure everything with all due respect!) - cleanliness -all new movies and classics! - no texting/talking. Yes folks, the kindly neighbor who hears your excessive chitchat, presses a button and as in baseball " Strike three, you're out!" -most Alamos are in malls, Staten Island is in Hylan Boulevard plaza where there's a wealth of shops pre or post movie. Alamo Downtown Brooklyn is in CitiPoint.. there is a Food Hall, Trader Joe's, Joybird and many more! Repeat after me: "ALAMO, ALAMO, ALAMO,where the movie lovers go! Alamo Drafthouse Cinema 445 Albee Sq West Take R train to Dekalb Avenue Station, exit at Fleet Street exit, Citi Point is 2 steps from Dekalb Station. Follow signs to Alamo Theater. Take escalator to 4th floor or elevator. Get those popcorn fingers ready.

    Easy to purchase tickets online! Helpful greeter! Arrived early and they showed old clips of famous actors! We saw the QR code on tables and ordered via phone not realizing that their were humans also taking orders. I wished I was given the option. Ordered the malbec first time it came in a nice sized glass next time a smaller glass. No consistency. It felt almost like bait and switch. Popcorn wasn't give the option of no salt. My friend loved the wings and fries. I would go back but eat and drink before entering. Seats were comfy. Good crowd. The waiters look stressed. They also said when movie starts to write any additional food requests on paper and hold up. The waiters walked pass my waving card a few times.

    Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas at City Point is located in Downtown Brooklyn in what used to be Albee Square Mall, it's now a decorative enclosed space. The lower level has an eclectic food court with so many unique food options it was hard to decide. There is a Sephora, Target, Trader joes and three floors of Primark along with shops from independent brands. The Alamo Cinema is on the 4th floor next to Court 16 a Tennis and Pickle ball court. Movie tickets are $19.99 and there is no concession stand, you order food and drinks from your seat and staff bring it to you. I suggest ordering the bottomless popcorn, it was enough for three of us, and we didn't need a refill. The food menu is reasonable price, the theater is clean. They have a strict late entry policy, our show was scheduled for 3:30, seating started at 3:15, however if you come later then 3:45 you will not be allowed to enter ! The escalators were not working inside the theater and a few were out of order inside the mall. The elevators weren't crowed and came frequently. I will visit again and splurge on a sandwich from Katz.

    For mothers me and my daughter went to see devil wears Prada. Along with the an excellent movie we enjoyed bbq chicken tenders and fries and a cookie milkshake and I had fries and 2 glasses of wine. Cushioned seats and great service, I will be returning!!

    My wife and I have enjoyed this theater several times with the old school ambiance and Great Customer service by sylvan d our server and the tasty wings . A date night out with the wife all in one place.

    My partner and I decided to do dinner and a movie for Valentine's Day. We usually go to nitehawk movie theater, but he decided he'd like to try somewhere different. Turns out most of the employees were striking. They stated Alamo drafthouse had fired 70 employees across all chains illegally. We felt badly, but decided to go in, it was late and there would have been no opportunity to go to any other theater. Once inside, due to the strikes there was no food being served. Which was a no for me, because I hadn't eaten since breakfast and it was almost 9pm. However, because this theater is located in the city point mall, which has multiple restaurants downstairs. They allowed us to grab food and beverages and bring it in. A huge plus. The theater seemed clean and the staff that was present was very nice and accommodating. Going back would be determined on more research regarding this strike and the validity of the claims.

    Comfortable theater seating

    I went once with my husband, and the cinema was clean and comfortable. The attendants were kind and provided good service. The main issue I had was that the bathroom is located in the restaurant upstairs, which is far from the theaters and inconvenient if you need to use the restroom during a movie. Also, the Buffalo chicken wings were extremely salty, which negatively impacted the taste. Reducing the sodium would greatly improve the dish. I would still go again because I enjoyed the atmosphere of the theater and appreciated the service.

    Alamo Drafthouse used to be fun but when I went here last week, not as much as before. I had trouble finding the correct theater - I initially went to the wrong one - there was no one around to help. During the film, there were frequent distractions with too many people walking back and forth in front of the screen, either guests or staff bringing food and drinks. The screen and sound system were fine. I enjoy having extra space to relax. If you can choose a seat, suggest picking one away from the door, fewer distractions. Alamo is a great theater experience overall.

    Great location inside Albee square mall on the top floor. The theatre is clean. We saw Wicked and I wish the sound system was a little bit better because the music was amazing and I couldn't get the full sound effect for a movie like this. We had wine while watching n service is fast n friendly.

    Ask the Community - Alamo Drafthouse

    Do they serve alcohol?

    Yep! Huge menu of it as well.

    Do you have to order the food online with the tickets, or can I order food in person?

    You order in person at your seat. You can order anytime, before or during the film.

    What time does the box office open? I know the ticket machines can be used even when no one's at the front desk. But what if you want to speak to someone at the ticket booth?

    It should be open about 11am

    How can I tell which of the 7 theaters has reclining seats? Those straight seats are plush but are so uncomfortable after 2 hours!…

    All of the theaters have reclining seats, but the catch is they're only located in the first row.

    Do you need a ID to go In?

    Minimum age of six years old at the Alamo with an adult. 17 and up to buy a ticket solo. https://drafthouse.com/nyc/theater/downtown-brooklyn/admission

    Is there a break given between movies during a marathon? If so, how long?

    Um..it depends on the movie lol...

    How early should you get there before your movie?

    I like to get there at least twenty minutes beforehand since it gives me time to use the restroom before I head into the theater. Then you have enough time to put in your food order before the movie starts so you don't have to worry about doing… Read more

    Are there seats which a disabled person with trouble sitting/standing to fit comfortably? I've got knee/hip replacements...

    They do have some seats for wheelchairs in each theater, if that is what you mean. Otherwise, rows are more spaced than your average theater as there is a table every two seats, meaning that you will be able to stretch your legs completely without… Read more

    What would be the best row(s) to sit at in these theaters?

    Anything a few rows back is good. The front row is a bit too close, but it's tolerable, and it has the bonus of an extendable footrest. The theaters are pretty small, so even the back rows are fine, although I always think the middle is best.

    Does this place have loveseats?

    No love seats, but there are seats that are grouped together in pairs.

    What is exactly on ALAMO menu?

    They have an extensive menu from burgers to hotdogs with varied toppings, flatbread, wings both hot and Thai, salads (huge), fries (also huge), chicken sandwiches, and my favorite the truffle parm popcorn. They have warm cookies (stop drooling) and… Read more

    Does the Alamo serve breakfast/brunch options for the early showings?

    Management told me that Alamo does a special brunch menu for the first two showings of each movie on Saturdays and Sundays.

Unfortunately this place fell very flat. Leading with what we liked: Their mocktail offerings were good, promising a 0.0% ABV which is hard to come across when mocktails are offered. They serve oysters, which adds to that aphrodisiac experience of the oh so 'wow this is a former brothel!'. The bartenders and servers were fast and very sociable with the more sociable customers. The immediate entrance is very tight, and it was uncomfortable navigating the space. We expected there'd be more seating in the back, which there was, but it was limited and not offered to us until we asked for it. We honestly had no clue where it would be and only asked because of how this place was advertised. While it was comfy once we made our way back there, it was reminiscent of a lounge style bar space that almost any bar could replicate with the right room and budget. We didn't feel as though this hit the spot and were let down by this experience. I'm not sure if I can judge the menu of drinks/ foods as expensive, but we left hungry bc we couldn't justify some of the prices. In addition, I've seen a lot of complaints about the volume of the music: it's definitely loud at the front but a lot lower in that back lounge space. It's as loud as any bar's music level would be, but truth be told we were expecting music that matched the vibe of what was advertised and yes, at a lower volume.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

It's classy but not too fancy and has enough space but doesn't get too loud. They have a nice happy hour menu from Tuesday-Friday from 5 to 7 as well as all day on Sundays which has very decent prices such as an $8 old fashioned among other things (see the photo.) the bartenders I've had before have been friendly with some good recommendations. Outside of their wide selection of cocktails which run the gamut of liquors, they have a nice wine selection, a handful of craft beers, and a very small food selection. The first time I was here, I had one drink which was the excellent Star of The Ice Snow for $17 with Iwai 45 whiskey, brie-washed Carpano Antica, Fernet Branca, barrel-aged orange bitters, and sassafras bitters. It had a a bit of bitterness, some sweetness, some spice, and some light mint from the fernet and was a pleasant complex drink and was certainly worth it from the price. The second time I was here was just this evening where I had two drinks. I first went with something that I was thinking of getting the first time which is their outstanding Vivian Darkbloom for $15 with Union mezcal, lime, pineapple, charcoal, Velvet Falernum, and lime bitters. The drink has mild citrusy sweetness as well a bit of smoke from the mezcal and is probably my favorite drink I've had here though the other drink I had the first time gives it stiff competition. I asked the bartender what he recommends and after a small discussion, he said either The Bell Witch (which is a gin and chartreuse cocktail with a strong herbal flavor) or what I went with. Said drink was the Under a Cosmic Cloak for $16 with rhubarb infused rum, Trois Rivieres rum, Smith & Cross rum, yerba mate, lime, grapefruit, and whey. The bartender said that it wouldn't be overly sweet as the rum was milk washed and this was indeed the case with just a mild sweetness and some fruitiness. There was a light herbal flavor otherwise presumably from the mate as well as a light citrus note and overall, it was good though definitely the least complex of the drinks I've tried and probably my least favorite but was definitely not a bad drink. The drinks here are reasonably priced for the quality, the bartenders are friendly, and it is classy but not overbearingly so. I can see why it's popular and I wish I stopped in more.

Also, they have a mezzanine which is more quaint and chill when it's very busy on the ground floor. Although they also offer cocktails and some bites as well, everything on the menu is on the pricey side. I'd only come back for the vibe with girl friends.
