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.

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.

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

Toy story 5.

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.

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.

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.

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

I remember coming here a few times before many years ago and the show was so much more exciting. Now let's talk about that food... Campbell's tomato soup (I kid you not), half a roasted chicken (that was good), half of potato roasted (dry as hell with no ketchup or anything), and half a corn cob. Dessert was a Little Debbie's eclair. Are you so serious?? Two adult beverages with tip were $100. Oh, but you get to keep the glass! I paid for double shots in our drinks and I don't think there was even one. It felt like the service portion of the event was so busy and frequent that it was distracting from the show. You can't hear a darn thing the king and queen say. Muffled voices so no one really knows what's going on. They took our photo at the beginning but never told us how we could go about getting this photo printed. I can see how children would absolutely love this. As adults... not so much. The service was good so I have two stars but I would never ever pay that price again for what we got. I brought my husband here for his birthday because he has never been and I think we are both in agreement that that was a one and done.

You kick up your heels while solving a murder mystery, that's what! Here's what you get: $129/pp includes a cheese and crackers reception (cash bar), dinner, drink ticket/pp (cash bar after that), the game, a DJ, prizes for the winning table, champagne and a balloon drop at midnight and NYE party favors. $130/hotel room and breakfast for two the next morning. Worth it? Absolutely! Here's the lowdown: ~The actors make this show worth it. No, you're not seeing Oscar winning performances but they're so sincere that you just can't help but get caught up in the cheese of the whole thing. The Detective was perfect at leading us through the night and making sure we were paying just enough attention to grasp what the hell was going on. The victims and suspects all played their roles fantastically and never once broke character, even though they mingled with the crowd all night. **Tip - pay attention, there's a ton of info to absorb. There are pens on the table, use them to take notes before the hostess/detective suggests it. You're welcome. ~There was just enough action going on to make the night breeze by, while still being calm enough to enjoy the evening with my date and our tablemates. I never felt rushed through the process and was absolutely shocked that 3 hours had gone by and it was past 11:00. I credit the hostess and actors 100% for their dedication to time management and keeping us all in line. ~The DJ was freaking awesome! She kept the night hopping with an eclectic mix of music that had even the oldest amongst us shuffling their feet on the dance floor and had couples pressed cheek to cheek. She busted out old bar line dances that had the younger crowd perplexed and the older crowd smiling at the memories. ~The bartenders worked their asses off and kept the drinks flowing (yes, we were paying for them but still). It was frustrating to see so many people not tipping them but I guess that's how it goes. I just know the few times my fella went to the bar and tipped generously, they took very good care of us. ~The dinner crowd played their part perfectly! Everyone took the attire suggestion (suit and tie/cocktail dresses up to tuxedo and evening gowns) seriously and we were one fancy looking crowd. We worked the mystery as tables of 8 and were given plenty of clues and background info to solve the crime. Some tables were more serious than others - and some were very serious - but it really felt like the entire ballroom was a part of the story. ~The food wasn't Nick and Sam's but it was good. (not even gonna lie, I'm about to C&P the website) *Baby mixed greens with gorgonzola, candied walnuts and cranberries, served with a shallot vinaigrette. *Raspberry sorbet garnished with fresh berries. *Beef tenderloin with lack shallot sauce, grilled shrimp and scallop (website says pan seared halibut, which didn't happen), potato gratin and roasted winter vegetables (asparagus and carrots). *Warm dinner rolls and butter. *Triple chocolate mousse cake with fresh fruit sauce and chocolate garnish (this was so rich I couldn't even finish it and I'm a serious chocolate whore). *Regular & decaffeinated coffee service with cream and sugar (I missed this part but I wasn't paying attention very well by this point). ~The Omni Park West wasn't quite up to what I consider Omni standards but it was still a nice hotel and the staff worked hard to make sure we were comfortable. The best part of the hotel was the free parking garage around back. Don't get suckered into paying $14/night for valet, drive around to the back of the hotel and park for free! Breakfast the next morning was typical hotel buffet (powdered eggs and all) but it was free and the service was outstanding so who can complain about that? Thanks to Keith and Margo, I found a creative, fun way to have have a contained NYE celebration with no DWI, no drama and a bed upstairs just waiting for us. Happy New Year to all of us!

This was extremely uncomfortable for me and a few of my Sorors! We decided to just hold up the wall and people approached us to ask questions. Afterwards, we were allowed to take a seat at our assigned tables and were given instructions. Immediately we were introduced to "Detective Duffy" who began the story before we were instructed by table to go to the buffet. Overall, the food was great, the entertainment...meh and I think the cost should be $40-50 max instead of the $70 paid. Our table was able to solve the murder mystery which did make things somewhat worthwhile.
