This is a spot tucked away in a corner in Hutto that will not disappoint you. I visited this location during the week for a 4:30 movie and had a great experience. Tickets are available for purchase online in advance and of course that is where you will select your seats. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Iliana, who was super sweet and directed us to the self service kiosk and answered all questions we had. The tickets were printed quickly, and then we were off to get food before the movie. The concession stand appeared to be stocked and it was fairly quiet with not many people which was also a plus. Although we did not purchase any snack items, I did notice that the popcorn and soft drinks were unlimited and you refill everything yourself which is also a great addition. Happy Hour is from 4-7 Monday-Thursday, and because I arrived at 4, I was able to take full advantage of it. Hooky offers a GREAT selection of drinks and small bites during this time, which was impressive to say the least. We sat at the bar and Trace immediately greeting us, and gave more insight into Happy Hour. We ordered two drinks, and they were super strong and refreshing. Our food order consisted of the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Loaded Waffle Fries, and Dynamite Shrimp. Everything was fantastic and cooked perfectly!! The actual theater that our movie played in was super clean, and the chairs were comfortable. I also visited the restroom and that was also clean which impressed me as well. After the movie, we got one more drink before the end of happy hour and this time Elias the new bartender was also extra nice, knowledgeable, and professional. We moved on to the games and had a great time with no wait to play anything. You will need a digital card and load money, which equates to points. Each game is a reasonable amount of points, and some games offer tickets after winning which can be used for prizes once you're all done and ready to head out. Connor helped in the prize area and I selected a cute little commemorative lip gloss for my first Hooky prize. They also offer bowling, which we did not partake in, but the lanes were clean and not crowded, so I will definitely be back !!! Overall this location offers good food, great drinks and a nice atmosphere which can be enjoyed by all. read more

I visited the place for the first time for the early premiere of Wicked: For Good. The establishment itself is very nice. The chairs are comfy, and the theatre is spacious. Now, the food was not great in my opinion. I had the elote fritters and a shrimp Caesar salad. The elote fritters were fried too hard and dry, so I wasn't a fan. The Caesar salad with grilled shrimp was not good at all. I believe they waited too long to bring it out, so the lettuce was extra soggy (like cooked spinach) and warm. Warm salads are not my thing. Anywho, Wicked: For Good was amazing! read more

Hooky Entertainment is a fun spot here in Hutto. The game room is not big, which I appreciate because it's not overwhelming for little kids. If you like a big variety of games you may feel limited in what games they have. They have a movie theater and bowling as well. I can't speak for the movie theater side since I haven't used it yet, but I can say the snack area is super convenient. You fill up your own popcorn and add your own butter, which is great. They offer a big bucket or a kid-size popcorn. Thankfully we all share the popcorn. It's a lot of popcorn. I've heard the food is good, but I haven't tried it myself. I mainly come for the games and my favorite is the little kids' game where the balls come down. We enjoy it for a fun time. read more

Hooky Entertainment - Snow ball game - Cinema Near Me - Hutto, Texas

This was my 2nd visit at Hooky. Since it was spring break week, it was a little crowded but wasn't too crazy. My 5 yr old enjoyed the arcade games especially the racing ones. All games are in very good condition and maintained very well. The bowling alley was full so couldn't do that but we enjoyed the arcade and the food. There is a happy hour from 5-7pm on weekdays with shareable being half off. We availed that offer for the dynamite shrimp and elote fritters. Honestly, I enjoyed the shareables much more during my 1st visit. This time they didnt taste as good. But the Texas melt was absolutely amazing. Juicy and tasty. Hope the taste is consistent when I visit next. read more

Just wanted to give Lola and Jackson, the floor attendants, a huge thank you for being so kind to my son Kash and Chavis. They made their experience so much fun and went above and beyond to make them feel welcome. Their kindness and energy truly stood out. We really appreciated them and wanted to recognize the great job they did! read more

Review is specifically about the theatre experience, we did not try the bowling or arcade. But, Omgosh IMO HOOKY movie theatre suuuuuuuucks. Never again!!! I'll come back for bowling, but not movies. It's so weird how they did the theaters and the seats don't actually recline, they like sink but don't go back, it's all so awkward. Moviehouse remains number 1 in our house even with the drive . Things we liked, the unlimited refills on sodas and popcorn, the food was pretty good for a movie theatre we liked the crispy pepperonis for sure. We also like that everyone was super nice! No one really explained how anything worked but if I asked a question everyone was super helpful. We were even able to love our seats. So the seats are elevated, it's basically a flat room with rows of chairs. If you look closely there is a very slight incline but in the further back rows for the kids the backs of the chairs in front were blocking the bottom of the screen. The brand new smell also gave me a terrible headache. Only mentioning as there may be others that are also sensitive to smells, maybe avoid this place for a few months until the offgassing ends idk. 2.5 stars because it's really nice and new, a good addition to Hutto but personally will not see another movie here. It's just so awkward read more

We got a movie theater in Hutto before McAlister's. Ain't that crazy. I wanted to go to Hooky a few times before formulating my thoughts on it. Originally planned to be an EVO Entertainment, through some sort of way, the brand of Hooky Entertainment was born out of the rubble with the inaugural location in Hutto, a city yearning for more. An entertainment destination within our city limits is a huge upgrade to the city's energy. No longer shall we have to drive to Austin. No longer shall we have to drive to Pflugerville. No longer shall we have to drive to Round Rock. Right? Something I think Hooky does really well is cultivating a place that is not "a theater and..." and instead being "... and a theater." That may not click, but let me break it down. Many times, I've gone to a movie theater that has a bar, dining space, or arcade. Those always feel like an afterthought. Hooky wants to be an entertainment destination. Bowling without the need to see a movie. Hanging out at the bar without needing to see a movie. Playing some intense games of Skee-Ball without needing to see a movie. Some places try this, but they still feel like destinations only for movies, with extras tacked on. Hooky feels far more welcoming as a place to hang out and leave without ever thinking about a movie. Here are a few experiences I've had so far: The arcade I love a quality arcade, and Hooky has a pretty good-sized one balanced with ticket games and standard arcade games. I don't always want to win a prize. Sometimes I just want to play NBA Jam. Hooky has plenty of both. The bar From what I've had, their full-scale bar is great. They have plenty of drinks and options. I also love their projector dartboards. I can best compare them to Topgolf for darts, with different minigames while also allowing for standard dart play. The bowling I haven't bowled at Hooky yet, but I hope to soon. I really like their huge projection screen that hangs over the bowling alley. Floating sporting events and graphics make the space feel modern and dynamic. The concessions Hooky has your standard sodas, ICEEs, and more, but their self-serve popcorn machine is incredible. I went in one night and just bought a bucket of popcorn, filled it up, and left. The American Dream. You can layer your butter, and it works very well. I'm a fan. The food At the bar and in the theaters, it's easy to order food via QR code. Honestly, the food feels a little more "elevated" than other full-dining concepts like Studio Movie Grill, Flix, or even Alamo Drafthouse. You're not coming here just for the food, but it's well done for what it is. The movies Hooky's IMAX theater is incredible. Plenty of space, a huge screen, and immersive sound. It rocks. The other theaters are alright. When I saw The Materialists, the room had no stadium seating but did have plenty of space in front of you, so the chairs ahead didn't block the view. I'm not the biggest fan of that setup, but it's not an overnight fix. The chairs were standard leather recliners. I rock with it. If Hooky is reading this review, I want one point to come across. If you want me, a Hutto resident, to rely on your theater instead of the many established theaters in Austin, you need a bigger pool of films. Hosting all the big blockbusters like F1, Mission: Impossible, or Superman is awesome, but we've reached a point where smaller movies by studios or distributors like A24, Neon, Focus, and Searchlight are just as important to see in a theater. Me and plenty of other Hutto residents are willing to make that drive to see those movies, and the Hooky in Hutto hasn't offered them, besides The Materialists. I wanted to put my money where my mouth is, so I saw The Materialists at your theater. I want to stay in my city and support my local economy, but you gotta help me out in return. Other Hooky locations like Waxahachie are already offering these kinds of screenings. Allocate a theater in Hutto for them and I promise you, I will cancel my Alamo Season Pass for the convenience you can offer. Older movies too. Don't hesitate to do limited-run showings. I'd love to see Dirty Dancing on the big screen in Hutto. Don't be afraid of the smaller screenings. Don't be afraid to show The Phoenician Scheme by Wes Anderson. Let Hooky be THE theater of Williamson County. Hooky has potential. It's already a great family-driven space, but there's room to become a true one-stop shop for entertainment in Hutto. Hutto deserves a centerpiece for entertainment. Hooky can be that if it takes the chance. read more

Hooky Entertainment - The human experience. - Cinema Near Me - Hutto, Texas

This is a new entertainment facility that offers movies, bowling, arcade, and food. I came here recently to watch a movie in their theatre. Since this place opened a few months ago, I was glad to find that it is still very clean. Their seats do recline, but your bottom does sink in deeper the further you recline. However, this didn't bother me since I tend to adjust how I sit multiple times but others might find it uncomfortable. My only issue was that the movie experience was not as smooth as I wanted it to be. When the trailers started playing, the lights turned off (as it normally does). But as soon as the movie started, the lights came back on. I was confused and thought that it was on because of a reason (like the waiters needed to deliver food to someone seated in the audience). However, no one came in. So after 10 min, I had my partner run outside to alert a staff member. Then towards the end of the movie, the lights came on again before the movie ended. Luckily it was only the beginning and end where this was disrupted, but it's still annoying because those are key parts of the movie. read more

Very nice, family friendly or date night facility. We only did bowling, however there's a ton of other stuff to do. We ordered pizza and wings, both was pretty good. We were so hungry I forgot to get a good before picture of the food, however the small pizza could feed about 3-4 people. My only complaint is how long it took our waiter to get back to us for everything. We waited 20 mins after our bowling time was up just looking around for the waiter. It was nowhere close to busy, he was just simply walking around talking and laughing with colleagues. Overall it was a good time and will be back. read more

Hooky was a very fun visit! We saw a movie and showed up early to try the games. Their claw games actually give kids a shot at winning which my daughter loved. Food was good and prices were reasonable. The IMAX theater was awesome and food service was fast. I'll be visiting again for sure. read more

Fast, friendly service! Full bar and food menu including square style pizza. Brand new bowling lanes, balls, shoes, etc -- Fun games that are a twist on typical bowling while still offering the OG. Reasonable bowling rates if you are looking for a group / hourly rate. Ample parking! read more

We were able to check in quick for our reservation. Rate reflects only on our experience today as we've been here a couple times. We booked for one hour and didn't have a server come by til we had about 20min left in our bowling time. I also feel that with hooky being a family welcomed space, there should definitely be more than just 2 bowling ramps for all the lanes to share. read more

Today we watched a movie in an IMAX theater. The movie theater was clean, seating numbers/letters were a little off (we were in theater one and the last row is labeled J but online it's I which was confusing). The food was actually very good. We had the Eloties Fritters and the Texas Melt. I was very pleased with both of them. Husband had bottomless popcorn and a bottomless ICEE. This movie theater is very close to our house and we will definitely be going back. The only things we have tried yet are the alcoholic drinks and the bowling alley so that'll be on the next visit. read more

I went to Hookey to watch Final Destination and the experience was a bit underwhelming. Unlike most theaters, there were no trailers or previews before the movie, so my friend and I sat in awkward silence with just a few other people in the room. We arrived around 9:50 PM and got some popcorn, but when we went back for a refill, we were told they weren't doing any more -- even though the last showing was at midnight. That was disappointing. The seats were recliners, which was a nice touch, but the theater floor wasn't elevated, so all the seats were on the same level. I found myself having to look up at the screen the entire time, which wasn't the most comfortable viewing experience. I think i'll stick with the Round Rock cinemark in the outlets. read more

Loved the establishment, but the food was expensive and not good. I got a lettuce wrap burger. I was served a burger without a bun. No utensils with one wilted piece of lettuce. I will definitely return for movies, but I will eat before I go. read more

The theater is beautiful, with spacious and comfortable seating. They were apparently understaffed when we went, so they were cleaning the theater almost up into the previews coming on with tons of waiting in the hallway. The sandwich was extremely bland and the fries were not hot when they came out. Definitely not in a hurry to try more of the food. Taking kids the unlimited popcorn and slushy is a godsend on the pocketbook. Overall I think once they get things together it will be a great addition to the growing hutto area. read more

super fun games, inexpensive food, and great movies! Highly recommend going during happy hour! Monday-Thursday 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm

We went to see Superman in IMAX. This theatre is super clean, the staff is amazingly friendly, they were on top of keeping the floors free from popcorn in all areas. The popcorn is bottomless self serve or better yet you can order from your super comfy recliner seat with swivel table top, you do this by using a QR code. You can order anything from menu including bottomless popcorn, pizza and chicken tenders with Fries at the end of our movie we were prompted to closing out tab. The food is then delivered to your seat, Very convenient. We only experienced the theatre but this location has a restaurant, arcade, bar and bowling alley. I will revisit this establishment in the future. Met my expectations! Thank you Hooky!! read more

Beautiful movie screens and theater, however, the overly puffy and uncomfortable seat headrest make it a 'never again' movie visit for me. The bowling lanes have fabulous and huge screens. read more

Fun nights in this place. The arcade games are always fun. The points build up quickly and pay off. Personal Favs atm are f&f and angry birds. I like this location for watching new movies with the extra space, tasty menu and quality service. Only thing I would change is adding more recline on the theater seats, they will be more comfortable. read more

Nice place to check out first time here. Drinks are kinda pricey almost 17 bucks for margarita

Underwhelming, when compared to IPIC for great food, comfort, and movies...seemed small for bowling, arcade games compared to the bar, which was empty. It was worth trying, but I will do Cinemark or IPIC instead. read more

We love having this theater so close to home! Nice recliners, great prices, decent snacks, good food and good service! We have been here 4 times in a month! It was a little strange in the smaller theater that all the recliners were not raised stadium style, they were all on the same level, but it did not affect the ability to see your movie. Another thing was we wanted to purchase a gift card and at that time, they did not sell gift cards at all. I definitely recommend checking this out. read more

The arcade needs a massive rework. Very expensive games for very broken equipment. I just spent 100.00 with my son on a Wednesday at 11:30 am in about 25 min. Played maybe 10 games, half of which were not working properly. Extremely overpriced compared to Dave&Busters and they have an arcade 5x the size. I was going to stay for lunch and bowling but I probably would have spent 250.00 just for my son and I to hang for a couple of hours. read more

It's a safe place for kids to play. Serving hard liquor is iffy with me. Just because you bring your kids in isn't an excuse to get trashed. I work in the bar business and I've seen the " professional" drinkers many times. They come in from their house happy hour first and then go for the high alcohol drinks and you can't tell they've been drinking at all. Most don't become aggressive but some do. Mostly they get loud and obnoxious. I'll cut them off but they just wait and go to another bartender. I think serving alcohol at a kids place isn't a good idea. Chucky Cheese did beer only and had to stop serving because of liability. read more

Great service. IMAX style theater is awesome, with lots of food, drink, and snack options.

C'mon now. This place was begging for a soft opening as they are not nearly close enough ready to actually open. We started off by going to the dining area took about 15 mins to get my wife and I's waters. Had to move to the bar to get a drink. Took about 60 mins to get our 2 appetizers and 1 entree plate. While we were at the bar there were numerous complaints that people didn't get drinks or food AND some people didn't get their food when they ordered it while IN the movie theater. They were out of many beers and the speciality food items that the menu was promoting. Most employees/managers looked in disarray. Has to be an upper management problem. They didn't have enough staff to clean the theater so we were let in nearly when the previews were starting. Movie started at 1:30 and we were ALL lined up and outside the theater only able to be let in at 1:25. I had to leave the theater and go to the bar to get our drinks while we watched our movie. Just an insanely unprofessional and disorganized opening weekend. I really hope this place gets better but for now we are not going to be returning anytime soon and I would suggest staying far, far away. read more

Brought family and friends and stayed most of the day. Bowling, arcade, restaurant and bar were amazing. The movie theaters are state-of-the-art and the picture and sound quality are amazing.
