I hate to leave this kind of review because not all Alamos are bad but I want this to reach out to them for purposes of improvement. There was so much going on around the theater, no fault of theirs, but the construction and multiple detours already started the night off bad. I don't know why it was so hard for us to get to the theater and it's literally right off the highway! We went to see Practical Magic 2; so excited for Alamo's themed movie night. We absolutely love attending these! They have a host that goes and hypes up the crowd and we love a themed cocktail menu-- so all that was great as usual. The theater itself was nice and clean, but it kinda stops there. When we walked in there were no attendees at the front to let you know where you needed to go, we found the theater ourselves and went in to find our seats. The host came out and hyped everyone up; while I was placing our food/drink orders. We ordered the midnight margaritas & the margarita spritz. We also got a tenders baskets, a wrap, some popcorn and fries. Our food and drinks did not arrive together. We each just kept getting 1 thing at a time. It was so odd. And it took quite a bit of time before everyone got all their stuff. I get the wait times and there were a lot of ppl but I noticed the same thing with everyone else getting 1 or 2 items at a time because their staff was constantly walking by thru out the entire movie-- this was not the best experience for us and we live too far to consider going back. They did not have any cute set up/props for this movie and did not sell any merch if you were wondering. I spent $143ish dollars. $20 of that was a service charge and then I also got charged 5% gratuity on top of it-- not sure why that was not the same charge!

Great theater for movies, several food and drink options however they started charging a service charge which is absurd to me. Will probably not frequent Alamo any more.

I went here to see Ballerina with a special coupon i had. I spent some time beforehand at the bar and enjoyed some samples of local beer before having a very nice hefeweizen. The bartender was friendly and let me hang out for a bit while i waited. Afterwards, i saw the movie in an empty theatre (it was the last showing, i think people were seeing a different movie premiere on the other side tho) but still had a server come through occasionally to check up on me. Ambiance could not have been better all around. Made my experience that much better

Woohoo, Alamo Drafthouse is back, baby! They've moved beyond the closure of the previous owner, and they are open again. We went to see Alien: Romulus here. They were doing a promo for coming back, so the tickets were under $7! Comfortable seats, though they do not fully recline the leg portion elevates. Theaters wasnt too packed, still had their full food/drink menu on offer and generally had a great time. Will definitely be back to my favorite theater the next time I want to catch another flick on the big screen.

Went to watch the premier for Toy Story 5, I was so disappointed because they didn't have souvenirs for the kids even though it was announced on their website. When I asked the server, she just said "I'm not sure" and walked away. The movie and theatre were great, just wish they wouldn't advertise something they didn't have available.

Entrance to venue

Bought tickets for a 3:30 Jurassic movie unknowingly purchased at wrong venue. Customer service was no help & rudest attendants. Requested a refund- since felt no assistance was offered & felt unwelcomed. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Honestly I was really hoping the Alamo Drafthouse would up its game since it was basically given a second chance after re opening. But my visit was extremely disappointing. The drinks were mediocre, the bar staff kicked us out at 9:00 even though online it says they're open till 11. Our server at the actual movie theater was so rude to us. Our card was only checked once, and they snapped at my date saying they did it wrong and never checked back on us. I used to love coming here, but this was probably the last time I'll go.

The bottom right white dot? That's the seat where I sat. Solo table. No shared space. ChArger port right there.

Pretty sure this is the "Cedar" location off Botham. Same phone number I called listed here, and it says "Lamar street" Anyway. Parking : ew. Small parking lot BEHIND the venue. I say behind, because the doors are exit only, and you'll have to walk around. There's street parking (limited) and another parking lot across from the parking behind the venue. I ended up parking here and walking to where I thought I could get in. Nope. Exit only, so I had to walk around the side. Entry: it was different. There was no one there to check my pre- bought ticket. I did approach the ticket area and told her I already purchased. She told me to go ahead. Didn't really verify anything. I just walked right on in. Maybe short staffed idk. Theater : old. Seats were peeling. Sat at the top row at the ONLY single seating. Others are SHARED SPACES. There is ONE eating table per two seats. I just happened to view the searing and saw one seat by itself, so I grabbed it. There was a charger by this seat too. I don't know if it worked. I couldn't imagine sitting with a stranger, sharing a table, so I'm glad I got this seat. You just walk right up the stairs and directly to this seat, no having to say excuse me or anything. Service: ehhh. I only tipped because it's standard. There is no button to press for service. It's very old school, writing your order on a paper and putting it in the little "paper holder" and hopping someone pays attention. When I got there, the papers were already there, so I'm not sure how a waiter can differentiate if you want to order or not. Very archaic. No one checked up on me after I was served. Food: Royale with cheese. I didn't know it was a burger. Limited brisket on it. It was dark, so idk. $17. If was decent enough. I was hungry. I would opt for something different next time. No picture because it was dark in there. Movie was great. Wakanda Forever. This location is a little raggedy, though, so I wouldn't come back :) Bathrooms clean.

Went on a date there we had so much fun. The food was pretty good menu is very carb dense so don't expect much on the healthy side. We had truffle popcorn and it was pretty good I recommend. Sometimes servers were a little busy but they eventually got to us and gave us everything we needed. I love this place and it was a really good experience for my first time.

Came here to watch the Barbie movie. The place was decked out with photo opportunities, and brand merchandise. The theater was okay, the chairs were a bit worn out, and not the most comfortable. I didn't like that was a little confusing to order food, especially having to write in the dark. The food however was bomb. I had the pizza with jalapeños and it was so good, I ordered another. I shared loaded fries with my cousin and they were also really good. For the Barbie movie they had a pink cocktail, which was average but it was nice and pink and came with its own themed menu. One thing I do appreciate is the complimentary water on table. Overall I would come here again.

The guy wouldn't let us in the movies even though we got there 15 minutes after showtime. Talk about taking your job too seriously

Is parking adequate? I am attending a film festival there.

There's a decent sized parking lot and there is also a DART metro stop nearby

Came here on a Monday at 5:15 - it was happy hour…read more Mitch the bartender was super personable, educated me on several gins and took me on a mini tasting tour of some unique gins - really nice guy. Had two martinis here and left with a smile Highly recommend

Parliament posted their rainy-day happy hour on Instagram the same day I visited, so I was…read moresurprised when the tall bartender with glasses told me the special only applied if it was actively raining at that exact moment. He literally told me, "If a drop of rain comes, then I'll give it to you." It had rained for much of the day, and multiple customers were asking about the same promotion. If the requirement is that rain must physically be falling while you order, that needs to be clearly stated in the advertisement. Otherwise, the promotion feels misleading. I've been to Parliament several times and have never had a bartender interpret the rainy-day happy hour this way. I ended up ordering a smoked Old Fashioned from another bartender I've had before, and it was great. He was friendly, engaging, had great energy, and even did tricks while making the drink. I still enjoyed my cocktail, but it would've been nice to have the option to order from the happy-hour menu as advertised that day. I'm including the Instagram post for reference. I'm very disappointed as I've never not had a good time at Parliament. I really think that the owner should look at the Times stamps around 930 to 10:15pm part night and see the difference of business and traffic flow from when the taller bartender with the glasses versus the shorter Bartender with the glasses was at the front as it was instantly more business. Oh and lastly, I left my Betsy JOHNSON purple umbrella. I'm so sad and they don't have a number to call.
