Alamo used to be my special fancy theater that I went to when I wanted to splurge on some cocktails while laughing my butt off or crying my eyes out. Then UA Court Street closed ... (brb sobbing) ... and somehow my fancy splurge spot became the only theater in Brooklyn that I would agree to go to lol. Where else can you get those delicious little buffalo cauliflower bites and a themed margarita while you devastatingly watch Thanos snap away half of the planet? Nowhere else I tell you! I have started to love Alamo Downtown Brooklyn so much that I signed up for their Victory rewards program, follow them on Instagram, and even hosted a birthday party showing there. Every now and then I'll trek out to Manhattan to get some Regal reward points (or meet a non-Brooklyn resident lol) but I would watch movies at Alamo every week if I could. I hope they continue to host special screenings and offering themed menus because I love it dearly and am grateful that Alamo raised the bar for my movie going experience. If I can't enjoy a beverage and or real food (not just m&m's) while the trailers are playing, count me out lol. read more

Alamo Drafthouse - Churro Popcorn - Cinema Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here on a Saturday night. I purchased the movie tickets online, giving that it was a new movie. Movie tickets were $18.99 with a convenience fee of $1.89 per ticket. Came to see in 2D GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE. This movie theatre is located in downtown Brooklyn at Albee Square Plaza. Theater is located on the 4th floor. There are spacious elevators and escalators for you to go up. They allow customers 30 minutes prior to show time to go inside the theater. Early birds enjoy a curated show before the show and a chance to order some cold drinks and unlimited popcorn before the movie starts. At 4 p.m., the House of Wax opens. There you can have cocktails, beers etc... Perfect for date night. Theater is spacious. Love the seating. For every two people, you share a table. I wish the seats all reclined. I believe only the front row seats recline. However, seats are spacious and comfortable. I wish all movie theater had a table where you can put your food on. I loved that the table was spacious,definitely a bonus when you take kids to the theater. Makes life easier and less of a mess. On each table, you have a menu and paper cards with a pen. You can fill out your order. Once you fill it out, you push it down, and you press a light button. This will alert a server to come take your order. Staff is friendly and helpful. We were in theater 7, and this theater held about 200 guests. I was impressed with how quickly our server came to take the order and how quick the food was coming out. Do not expect everything you order to come out together. Some foods take longer to come out. All seats seemed to have a good view. The bathroom has multiple stalls, so there is no big line. The movie theater is kept cleaned. The menu has a variety of foods to choose from they also have a kids' menu. You can order cocktails and beers. We ordered a cheese pizza, chicken tenders, queso with chips, milkshake, margarita cocktail, mozarella sticks, and a Caesar salad Everything tasted good. Definitely would recommend trying out this theater if you are in downtown Brooklyn. read more

I have always loved Alamo, but the recent menu changes are definitely a bummer! There is no such thing as "beer queso." There is "beer cheese" and there is "(chile con) queso." Queso is a Texas staple, and Alamo's used to be decent. (Something the TX founders likely took pride in.) Now they serve "beer queso" with chips, which is not what you even should or would serve with beer cheese. Sigh. read more

I'm following up on a review I posted a month ago regarding the unacceptable service I received at Alamo Drafthouse. As a frequent and loyal customer, I expected a response after being directed to email the company about my experience. I've now emailed three times using the email address provided, and weeks have gone by without any reply. It's disappointing to be met with silence after being encouraged to reach out. I truly value the experience Alamo typically offers, which is why I took the time to share my concerns and hoped for a resolution or at least an acknowledgment. I'm hoping this follow-up prompts a response and that the company takes customer feedback and loyalty more seriously. My email is Mvcheatham@gmail.com read more

I'm so sad to write this review, but there has been a noticeable decline in Alamo since Sony bought the brand. The quality of the food has gone downhill (pizza this visit tasted like a frozen supermarket pizza) and the service has gotten significantly worse. We waited 30 minutes for our drinks and, when we tried to order another, our waiter saw the card, turned off the order light, and walked away without taking it. Our bill was half of what we typically spend simply because we weren't able to get service. We used to frequent Alamo but it isn't the special movie experience that it used to be. From the strike, it's clear that their staff aren't taken care of; between that and the decline of the overall experience, we will be taking our dollars elsewhere from now on. read more

I came here for the first time a couple of weeks ago to see the Tears for Fears Tipping Point concert movie. If I would have known how fantastic this place was, I would have been coming here a long time ago! The location is fabulous. In the heart of Downtown Brooklyn in the City Point mall all the way on the top floor. Subway or bus, you have it all here! I took the Q38 and it left me right on Fulton 2 blocks away. I purchased my tickets on the Fandango app. If you do that, you have to go up to the ticket counter, show them your confirmation code on Fandango and then they print your ticket for you to show. They have a bar and a little museum that looks like fun. I was by myself when I went but I'll definitely stop by those places when I come the next time. My movie was in theater 1. Wasn't huge, but wasn't small. Was just right. The lighting was not like at other dine-in movie theaters. I could actually see what I was writing down! The place is sparkling clean. Sleek. The recliners and tables were comfy and brand new. They have the menu, paper and pencils stored in the table. You write down what you want and the you press the button which tells them your order is ready to be taken. Friendly waitress came to take my paper. I ordered a cocktail and a salad with grilled chicken. Both were yummy and reasonably priced. I believe the movie ticket was more than both of those items! They have a pretty large menu with many different items. Huge drink menu. For both those items, I paid about $40. Tax and tip included. Not too bad. The sound and picture were incredible. Nice and crisp. Since it was a concert movie they had a disclaimer that you didn't have to be silent, but be respectful. My food came out pretty fast, but the drink took forever to come! That was pretty annoying. The bathrooms were spotless. I'm really looking forward to my return. The ticket prices are comparable to other theaters so why not come here for that extra special experience! read more

AWFULL!! I wouldn't recommend this place to nobody. I came 2 minutes late and was not allowed entry. Staff was extremely rudeee and overly aggressiveeee for no reason. Instead I had to see a later showtime and the food I ordered was cold and tasted like a gas station order... Seats are very tiny as well and they liedddd about the "no talking" policy as the audience was very distracting. If you care about your money you should not come here. AT ALLLL!!! All of this could've been avoided but since I came ONLY TWO MINUTES LATE and THEY DONT OFFER REFUNDSSSSS. They were not willing to work with me at all. Terribleee experience I would give them negative 5 stars if I could. read more

This was THE best movie experience I have ever had. The venue is beautiful and very well-maintained. The seating is incredibly comfortable reclining while you watch a movie is like being home in your favorite comfy chair. I enjoyed browsing the menu in my seat and having a server cater to what I needed. The popcorn size was incredible and prepared exactly as we requested. We ordered wings, loaded fries, and kale salad. Every item was delicious. The absolute BEST treat we had was banana pudding in a cup and we were floored!! I was scraping the bottom of the cup upset that it was finished. Do yourself a favor and enjoy a movie experience here. read more

This theater is located on the 4th floor of City Point in downtown Brooklyn. I came here for the first time with a bunch of friends to watch Woman King. The interior is really lovely and spacious. In addition, the seats are comfortable with plenty of table space, as well as a full food, drink, and snack menu. The method of ordering is writing it down and placing the paper in the little box near the front of the table. However, since we sat down before the movie started, I just ordered directly with one of the waiters walking by. I really wanted to try the Cookie Milkshake, but they didn't have the cookies to make it. So, I settled for the Salted Caramel Milkshake. For my meal, I went with the bacon burger, along with French fries. The Salted Caramel Milkshake was decent, and had a nice, sweet, sticky caramel flavor. It was also delightfully creamy, milky and thick. The meat part of the burger was a blend of sirloin and chuck patty, and the sandwich was loaded with cheddar, bacon, caramelized onion, lettuce, tomato, as well as lemon garlic aioli. The high quality meat was juicy, succulent, and well seasoned. The fries were quite addicting and very crispy, and full of potato taste. I like that this theater has no tolerance for disruptive guests and states that they will be removed and not allowed to come back. I really enjoyed my time at this theater, and would be open to returning. I might try out the Manhattan location next. read more

I do not know what took over alamo but it used to be great. Now it is disgusting and a pigsty. Workers walk in front the screen during your entire movie read more

Damn such a great Cinema very comfortable seats, love the location, the screens are fine but my only grievance is the food and the service. I know it's Brooklyn but damn! Nobody wanna work? The food was trash. The lemon pepper wing had no lemon. Pizza taste fresh outta target freezer. Bottomless sprite was good though they can compete with micky dz. iPic is better. read more

My best friend frequents this place and thought I'd give it a try. Came here to see inside out 2. The place is very different. The bar has a museum in it... it's kinda creepy but also cool. The bartenders were dope and the drinks were strong. I loved the food!!!!! Overall it's a cool movie theater. I can't wait to return for the food honestly. read more

The actual movie-viewing experience is solid: pretty comfy seats and good sound. There's room for improvement for service and quality of food. Nitehawk, a theater that similarly offers the dining in seats, they're superior to Alamo in both service and quality. I've found the service at Alamo to be impersonal and cold, and certain menu options are watery. It's unfortunate. read more

I came here for a 6:15pm movie. The theater is a few flights up in the City Point Mall. Alamo Drafthouse is known for the "dinner and a movie" experience rolled into one. Each pair of seats has a table with menus. You right down your order on a paper pad and turn on your indicator light and a server comes to pick it up. The food is then served to you at your seats while the movie is playing. The servers walking back and forth are not as distracting as you might think. In addition to bar food favorites like nachos and loaded fries, they also have entrees like burgers and pizza, as well as a full cocktail menu. They only have one size for popcorn which is the unlimited bowl for $11. It's not a bad price and one bowl will be more than enough for most. It arrived satisfyingly warm and buttery. For an appetizer, we shared the vegan cauliflower bites. These were okay, but I didn't care too much for the texture or flavor. They were bready more than crispy. For my main, I got the hellfire burger with a beyond veggie patty. I was expecting the burger to be spicy, but it was dry and bland. Had a bit of a sour flavor too. The fries were unseasoned. I only had a few bites. For drinks, they were out of the first two cocktails I tried to order so I ended up getting the watermelon mezcal margarita. It was tart rather than sweet so I enjoyed the taste, but it had a bit too much ice. This particular location seems a bit older than some. The tables were rigid and wooden. The seats were not adjustable and did not recline. The flushing in the bathroom didn't work well and the soap dispensers were broken. Our server was very warm and friendly. So overall, not the best dining experience, but it's a nice idea. Next time, I'll stick to the simpler appetizers and skip a full meal here. read more

Good theater. Decent food. The last time I was there, one of the elevators was broken. The lobby bar doesn't open until the afternoon. Service was good but I was there for a special screening and we had to wait forever to get our credit cards back after paying. I guess they were short staffed that Saturday early afternoon. read more

Alamo Drafthouse - Movie poster - Cinema Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Always the best. Would be nice if they upgraded the recliners at some point! They don't go far enough back for my taste. Outside of that, my favorite theater in the city. read more

The service here is horrible!!!! Came as a family to see Beetlejuice. The movie started at 3:05. My Food came at 3:00. My drink? 3:45!!!!! I was done with my food by the time the beverage came. I had to get water just so I could have something to drink with my food. Then he brings the drink and spills it on my leg. Lol. I haven't been to this theater in years. It was nice to see the improvements. Like each seat having their own table and Reclining seats. The buffalo wings were fantastic! But the service turned me way off! read more

This theater was our go-to for a while. Service is really great and the food is good as well. However as we were getting ready to leave we saw a roach crawling on one of the tables we left our food on in theater 2. Turnt off from the whole experience and for that I would never return read more

I haven't been in about two years and - boy - has it gone downhill. Four of the women's toilets were clogged and unusable. A hotdog with 13 fries (I counted) cost me $20, and the waiter told me to use the mobile app instead of ordering and reminded me to tip - as if I wouldn't. Not rushing back. read more

I've only been to one other location (Yonkers). I love the vibe of Alamo Drafthouses. This location has a large cool bar inside. It's great that Dekalb market is downstairs in the building. Movie times and choices are varied given you plenty of options. Sometimes however I find the sound challenging. Otherwise all good. Seating does not offer reclining due to possibly the food tables that are at your seat read more

Alamo Drafthouse - Cinema Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If I could rate this a zero I would. This was quite literally the most hostile and overly aggressive movie theater i have ever walked into. The security guard was one of the kindest people we ever met, but once we walked inside, the theater is when the hostility began, we sat down about 15 to 20 minutes late as the movie was starting, the previews had just ended. When the title screen came on, a man approached us and proceeded to interrogate us as to why we had to come so late and tell us he was going to have to make us exit the premises, but decided to do us a favor and let us stay. He also informed us that he was not going to allow us to get any food or drinks, and we had one warning before he'd ask us to leave. we had already paid for everything which was the craziest part. read more

Second time visiting and glad I waited to write this review. As far as dine-in movie theaters is considered, this isn't iPic but it will do. Consider how much location plays a role in the service that is provided. Arrived around 6 PM on a Friday to see Oppenheimer (a 3 hour long show), hence the need to have some level of comfort while we enjoy the movie. As far as ambiance is concerned, it was surprisingly not as loud as expected. Workers were professional - greeting patrons at the top of the stairs and ushering them into the theaters. The seats are not as nice as AMC or Regal. They were stiff and didn't provide much reclining comfort. Customer service could be improved- everything food wise moved very slow. We placed our food orders around 6:15 and didn't get our starter or drinks for another 44 mins and the food came out about 30 mins later. I had the chicken tenders and fries, Bae had the wings ( don't recall the flavor) but they were decent. Overall dining and viewing experience was decent. I wasn't thrilled but again I'm comparing it to iPic. For the cost, (we paid $42 for our tickets) and spent another $67 on food you can go else where for a better experience. read more

Alamo Drafthouse puts a nice twist on the moviegoing experience, and is worth the slightly higher ticket price in my opinion. The Downtown Brooklyn location has pretty nice theaters -- not the newest seats, but they are in good shape and comfortable. Each pair of seats also comes with a shared table, so you're guaranteed plenty of space/elbow room. The fact that you can order food and drinks from a full menu is very convenient, though during busier showings service has been a little slow. Still, it's a fun way to combine dinner and a show, and a great option for the movies if you are considering theaters in the area! read more

Visited Alamo Drafthouse on a Tuesday night and the tickets were just under $11 - a steal compared to what they would have costed on any other night. What makes Alamo Drafthouse unique is that they have food service during the movie so if you're ever catching a film during dinner time, fear not - they've got you covered. The menu is quite extensive, with tons of drink (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) options, as well as a variety of food options. The staff were thorough in explaining how to navigate the ordering system and they brought out the food pretty quickly. We ordered the loaded fries, popcorn, caesar salad, and buffalo wings, all of which were mediocre but it did the job. As for the theater itself, the seats were clean, comfortable, and reclined nicely. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I would come back! read more

First time in a theatre in two years! My boyfriend loves the Alamo Drafthouse. He's been wanting to take me for so long, and now it's finally open! We saw Dune, and the experience was definitely above your average movie-going experience. Seats: Comfy and not too narrow. Armrests but no footrests. Staff: Very friendly. Our waiter was great at explaining how everything worked, and the front-of-house staff were very inviting. Food: Pretty good. I was jealous of my boyfriend's cheeseburger. I ordered the Bavarian pretzel pizza, because it sounded so unique. However, it was very greasy and salty. I ate most of it (after dripping off all the grease I could), because it was decent and I don't like to waste food. I also ordered the bottomless coffee, since I wasn't in an alcohol mood. They were pretty stingy with the cream and sugar, and I had to fill out an order card to request they bring me more. They had forgotten completely the first time around to bring me any cream, so I had to wait maybe 10 minutes before I could drink my coffee. They also brought me a coffee refill (in a disposable cup) before I asked for one, so it pretty much sat on our table for half the movie getting colder. My boyfriend ordered a milkshake, and this is definitely what you want if you have 900 calories to blow. Worth it. Movie/theatre quality: Very good. We didn't experience any audio or visual problems during the previews or the main show. They also tell everyone explicitly that if they make any noise during the movie, they will be warned once and then kicked out on the second offense. You can complain about people by writing on one of the order cards at your table. If you're kicked out, I believe they said you're refunded the ticket price but not refunded for food you ordered. So, don't be a jerk! We'll definitely head back to the Drafthouse to see another movie. I'll just stay away from the Bavarian pizza next time. read more

So Monday afternoon my wife and I decided to go to an afternoon showing of After The Hunt. We walked to the theatre at Albee Square, which was a good 20 minute walk. We rode the elevator up and went into the theatre lobby. At that point, there was a handwritten sign to the effect that the theatre was not selling tickets. We asked the rather bored young lady whether the show was sold out, and she said no, but that the theater was not selling tickets. I have been going to the movies for 60 years. First time a theatre refused to sell a ticket to a paying customer. That old saying "The show must go on"? Not at the Alamo. read more

This place has gone down the toilet and corporate does not care. Laying off all those workers at a time of record profits. I was a day 1 season pass holder at this location and I canceled it. I'll be going to Nitehawk. Don't cross the picket line. read more

Comfortable seats. Food is fine. Service works. I like a place I can watch a movie and have a cocktail. It's very worth supporting imho

More like 3.5/5 stars Movie theatre was clean; friendly staff. My pet peeves were that none of the seats reclined and the arm rest didn't move so if you were with someone, you couldn't even snuggle up comfortably, all the way. I ordered a club soda (seltzer) and it arrived thirty mins later and towards the end of the movie (the guests next to us received their items and even finished by the time I got my soda.) But I'm always in great company with my friend :) we seen the Teyana Taylor movie .... read more

First of all, any place I can enjoy a beer and movie has got my vote! Clean theater, perfect for dates, families and friend groups. Awesome menu and drink options. Service is on point and discreet ( meaning you can order and not disrupt the movie MOOD). We enjoyed the Godzilla staged area for fun pics and laughs. This is a great place!

Recently went to Alamo drafthouse. Saw their layoffs employees outside striking. Service was ok, food was ok but it was ghost town in there. Took away from the ambience and allure of here. Better get it together. read more

Great concept, but for the person who wants to just sit and watch a movie, maybe not the best place. The facility is really nice. There's a full-on bar inside, before you go into your theater. Inside, seats were set up to have a table in between each chair and menus with pencils and a pad to write down your order. Before the move starts, this is great. The servers come by to take your order, you leave a credit card with the server, the drinks were pretty good (I didn't try any food) and that experience is quite good. But service stays open throughout the movie. There's a small light below each table, i guess so you can look at the menu while the movie is playing. And you can press a button to call a server over (you have to write down what you want). But, it's a little distracting - more so depending on the movie, I guess? Especially when a server walks through the aisles with a sign saying "last call". Again, great concept. But if you're really into movies and just want to watch without any distractions, maybe not ideal. read more

The movies were great!! The service sucks!!! I had to write out my order on a paper and the still messed up my order. I asked for ginger ale they gave me lemonade, I asked for grilled chicken in my salad I got no chicken but massive croutons. At least the food was good. Then there was a crying baby in the theater!! Like why?! The last time I came to this theater I order food and the movies were done before the food came. Alamo needs to get it together!!!! This is a great place for kids and teenagers!! I rather go to I pic movie theater!!! read more

I like it here. While its definately not your big box chain cinema experience, its really the reason I like it. First, the popcorn is the best popcorn - I dont know the magical ratio they determine but it works and makes me happy. The chairs are comfortable and the quality of film and sound work. I think the crowd just might be different, not a ton of kids and families, the environment doesn't seem to lend to it based on the films I have gone to see there. The service (they deliver) was great, got my food, my drinks, and everyone was happy. I'd def recommend and go back. You can also do pre- or post- foodie experiences in the food court - while not as expansive as Timeout Market, its still a good bunch of options. read more

Still my fave. Sometimes there are off visits where there's a service problem, or an audience issue, but all in all it's my top place to see movies. Especially movies you can't see elsewhere. read more

This one was my favorite location. Alamo got bought out by Sony and immediately had layoffs. Cancelled my season pass. It was nice while it lasted, but behaving that way has a noticeable impact on both their employees lives and the product they're selling. read more

This was amazing movie theatre, and i went for the first time, and i have to say it was interesting & impactful at the whole time. I haven't been to the movies in a lot of years, but this was well the money doing, because it's so different from the traditional movie theatre. & it's less people...Plus the seat functions were pretty unique as well. Definitely well worth the money on going too. read more

I did not care for how we were 9 minutes late for the movie and could not be let in but. Servers are coming out every 5 minutes to binge u food.

We were located a block across from where Alamo Drafthouse was. We've never been there, needed to just get out of the hotel for a bit and decided to go watch 65. The tickets were cheap (went on a Tuesday for $9 per person). Food was a bit pricier than we were expecting, but surprisingly tasty! Disappointed that the only reclining seats were the front row. Would have liked to have that. Slow on refills with the bottomless soda. If you're not coming out every 20 min or so to check on the drinks or answering calls, then there's a problem. Also, since it was our first time, it felt like we were being talked down to about how to ordering/call/request things. Sorry, you didn't really explain what we needed to do before the movie started. Anyway, go on Tuesday's for the cheap movies. read more

Theater seems pretty clean, and every time I've placed an order 10 minutes before showtime I've gotten it before the movie starts.
