    There are systems are down. They don't communicate online. You can't buy tickets with cash either as you can see they have a 230 and 3 PM Spider-Man I can't see in their customer service doesn't answer their phone calls either.

    Starting going to IPIC and we really enjoy it! The theatres are really nice, and love that they give blankets and have full recliners. Their drinks are really good too! They have billiard tables in front and a good happy hour need to come back for that

    Date night. 9:30 showing, arrived 9:12, friendly service from entry. I was a little nervous because my man hadn't pre reserved the seats, but we were good (luckily) We were able to get great back row seats. Y'all, I love the intimate seating pods for two so much, But do not go here if you are tired because you will be out like a light. Each seat has a blanky and reclines all the way back. The only drawback, the reclining seat does not have the best head recline experience You either go all the way back or all the way up there is no head up feet out option.. If you recline, you'll be laying all the way back ready to go to sleep, speaking from experience maybe. Anywho, I was able to stay awake through the entire 3 and 1/2 hour movie. We ordered a bottle of Cabernet because it was cheaper to get the bottle than two glasses each. We ordered a large popcorn with some cheddar seasoning. I ordered the Green goddess turkey sliders and they were pretty good! My man ordered the lobster roll, But It was super small for $30. To him it was like a lobster slider. So of course I shared mine with him. Overall, We had a great date night, some good food and good wine. There were only a couple of not so perfect call outs: The upper body recliner laying you all the way back and our food came out before the popcorn. Anywho, We will definitely be back for another movie date night. Cause I need to try the things on that menu.

    We love coming to the iPic. The service is always consistent and food is surprisingly tasty. It is a little pricy but I don't mind that. The only downside is the seats are only two in a cubby so it's difficult for my husband and daughter to go at the same time or one of us has to sit alone. The seats are comfortable and recline like you're sitting in your living room. Also get a small throw blanket. Regardless it's our movie theater of choice.

    Love the theater but this doesn't make things appetizing.

    They need to clean!!! The theater is great but this was kind of a turn off! Overall we enjoy it though.

    We grabbed a cocktail from the bar and the bartender with the pink hair was the worst. She walked away while I was talking and just was so disdainful and rude about everything but it felt like it was my presence at the bar. Maybe some other stuff was going on for her but dang! Ordered the Ube cocktail and it doesn't taste like anything but bad rum and milk. Don't order it. As someone in the service industry, I always tip even if it's not the best service, but the fact I was forced to tip 18% to this person who obviously wanted nothing to do with me sucked. Top 5 worst bar experiences I've had in Austin.

    The popcorn was fresh and tasty! Thank goodness for the blankets as their AC was somehow set to 60 degrees and even with jeans and jacket, I was cold. The service was prompt despite not getting our order accurately but it worked to our favor so no biggie. Let's keep the temperature at least 70 degrees, otherwise a pleasant time.

    Having been to o an iPic Theater before, I was really looking forward to experiencing the iPic in Austin. I went to see Paul McCartney's film "One Hand Clapping". The film itself was alright, mostly footage of the band Wings in studio in 1974. However, this review is not about the film but, rather the iPic Theater experience. If you've never been to an iPic Theater, the experience is all about comfort and luxury. In the lobby is full bar serving an extensive array of beverages, alcohol and wine. You can also order from their menu, appetizers, snacks and main meal options. The service is top-drawer, black cloth napkin level. There's also a lounge area to meet up with friends which is very upscale / trendy. I would suggest NOT bringing the wee-little ones, especially if they tend to cry a lot. This is more of a mature venue, a place where you can bring your date to empress or, have an Adult night out. Also NOTE: The theater will ask you to shut off or, silence your cell phones. Please this to be respectful of others. Seating is intimate, most of which are paired in twos with surrounds so you don't have to bump elbows or share the cup holder with strangers. The chairs are clad in leather and recline at the touch of a button. Each seat has a blanket in case you get chilly. There is also a table with a QR code to scan for food and drink options. Hard bound menus are available on request. Then press the call button on your table and a Ninja Server will appear to take your order and serve it to you when it's ready. As mentioned, the decor of this theater is upscale and trendy. Not knowing how long this location has been around some of the seating and decor is beginning to show its wear. Discrete lighting under the bar was drooping down a bit, some of the chairs in the lounge were beginning to show wear on the leather. My date noted, the first restroom she went in was well kept and has plenty of stalls while the restroom on the other side of the lobby near theater 1 & 2 had three stalls and on did not work. The restrooms were otherwise clean. This may seem a bit nit-picky however, at this price point I would expect more. There is free garage parking adjacent to the theater. I did not see or notice if there are charging stations available. Expect to arrive a 30-45 minutes early so you have enough time to enjoy everything this theater has to offer. Hope this helps & I'll see you at the movies.

    Everything was so good, especially the crispy spicy tuna rolls! My boyfriend and I are hooked. It was the perfect date!

    We rarely go to the movies anymore because there are so many great films available to stream from…read morehome. However, while my brother-in-law was visiting, we decided to take him to see Supergirl at Regal Gateway. It wasn't our first choice, but there weren't many other options playing at the time. To be honest, the movie pleasantly surprised us. It was very well done and went beyond the typical sci-fi storyline. The film explored themes of revenge, friendship, protection, and compassion. One unique aspect was that Supergirl didn't actually put on her iconic costume until the very end of the movie, which was an interesting departure from the usual superhero formula. By the time the credits rolled, our family left the theater happy with the outcome. One thing that really stood out was the ticket-buying experience...it was completely people-free. Instead of purchasing tickets from a cashier, we used kiosks located in the theater lobby. You simply select your movie, pay with a credit card, and receive your ticket. In fact, you can even order concessions through the kiosk. Times are certainly changing! Gone are the days of standing in line at the box office to buy tickets. Today, you can purchase them online or at a kiosk when you arrive. I have to admit, though, that I miss the personal interaction. There's something nice about speaking with a real person and not having to navigate the technology yourself just to buy a movie ticket.

    Went to the Odyssey Seat C-10... I'd avoid it for Row A-D…read more The perspective for any row before Row D is really off and comically skewed. The IMAX format doesn't fit well in this room as seating is too low, it's too small and the screen is too big. It compromises the huge screen poorly compared to a proper Imax with more distance, and rake of the screen for optimal viewing and listening angles. I asked for another seat but it was sold out so I just bailed before it even started so I can watch on a screen where people's faces and legs don't look 2X as long and skewed with odd perspective. Should have asked for a refund. If you do go here for IMAX try for seats in row F. Seating was very nice, it was clean, and people were friendly, but that IMAX format simply doesn't work in this smaller room format.

I purchased movie tickets through my account as a gift for my brother and his girlfriend to celebrate something special. When they arrived, they were stopped at the concession stand and accused of committing fraud because the tickets were purchased on someone else's account. To be clear, I bought the tickets myself and sent them to them. There was absolutely nothing fraudulent about it. The employee who confronted them handled the situation in a very aggressive and unnecessary way. As an A-List member, I've never been questioned or harassed like this at the front concession stand. It felt like the situation was blown completely out of proportion. Instead of focusing on real issues, my family members were put in an uncomfortable and embarrassing position over tickets that were legitimately purchased. They did speak with the manager, Miguel, who was polite and tried to help, and I appreciate that. However, the situation still wasn't fully resolved and the tickets were not refunded despite the negative experience. AMC needs to make sure employees understand that tickets purchased through an account can be shared with friends or family. Customers shouldn't be accused of fraud for using tickets that were legitimately purchased. This was very disappointing, especially as a loyal A-List member.

Couldn't decide at time of ticket purchase and upon arriving to the theater you could place and order for it to be delivered to your seat. Ended up going with the classic popcorn, drink and candy.

Overall the theater was great for image, sound and temperature. Not too hot or col. Ample parking as well.

Come June 9th, just a week later, my phone number doesn't bring up my account. My email doesn't either. Completely gone. When I got home from the movies I sent an email, asking what happened. They said they can't see anything. I ended up creating a new account. But I lost all my reward points. Now I'm starting from scratch. I did send another email asking if they can search for my original account, or what happened with the points I accumulated over 4 years. Got nothing back and now it's the weekend, so maybe I'll hear back this next week. Who knows. Maybe we are seeing a fall in movie theaters. I have now started ordering at the bar because the food has been incorrect. At least I can talk and explain the food to someone without whispering in the theater, and disturbing others watching the previews or the movie. I ordered The lemon pepper wings with chips and salsa. The chips were stale. Which whatever. I really just wanted the wings, which were great. Nice strong lemon flavor, and the pepper was perfect. Wings are good. French fries are cold, and chips are stale. Mojito was great. My experience just gets worse. There is another movie theater near where I work. So maybe I'll just switch theaters.

Needless to say a lot has changed since our last review of this Alamo location from 2017! Even though we hadn't written updated reviews, we nonetheless noticed (of course) that Alamo had consistently gotten worse over the years. However, our experience last week has confirmed that we will never ever be back here again. This place is the pits. The only reason we went is because someone got us a gift card. We bought our tickets, and there was a $7 "convenience fee" like we are in 1998. But then, we get to the theatre, and--JOKE'S ON US because we had no idea that this had happened--you do everything through a QR now. Are you kidding??? How much soul can you suction out of a business!?! The whole point of this whole enterprise was to use the fun little pencils, write your order down, and have the charming experience of HUMAN INTERACTION. Now, you have your phone out--yes, haha that they mention the irony after the bazillion ads we had to sit through!--and there is an automatic 18% tip included. Wowza! We were so disgusted that we only ordered beers. Our daughter had to get TWO kids pizzas because the portions were so small. The menu is way more limited and even more overpriced than one could imagine. Hope you liked Toy Story 5! Oh, AND FYI, if you forget to close out your tab, they add a 5% ADDITIONAL tip within 20 minutes of the movie closing. I mean, this place truly, truly hates its customers. And what greets you at the main desk? A Gen Z'er on her phone the entire time who can't be bothered to look up when folks come and go. We hate this place so much and we are SO excited for the day that we hear that they will have to shutter their doors because, honestly, no business deserves to go under more than this one. 1 star only because we can't give zero.

During the movie, my mom's blood sugar dropped and we needed to order a Coca Cola quickly. We tried using the QR system but had issues with it. We then flagged down a server, but the Coke still never arrived. In a situation like that, relying almost entirely on a QR code isn't just frustrating, it can become a real problem. I also arrived early because I wanted to order food before the movie started. I assumed my order had been placed, but it hadn't, and no one came by to check. I ended up waiting much longer before I realized nothing had been submitted. The old paper order cards made it much clearer that your order had been received. Other theaters, like movie house and eatery , use QR ordering but still have servers available to take orders if needed. That hybrid approach makes much more sense. The QR system at Alamo is distracting, takes you out of the movie, and feels like it's replacing customer service instead of improving it. I also noticed the menu seems much more limited than it used to be, with several favorite items no longer available. On top of that, I ordered a frozen margarita and it was delivered without a straw. Drinking a frozen margarita without a straw isn't exactly practical. I've always enjoyed coming to Alamo Drafthouse because of the service and the overall experience, but this new ordering system takes away from what made it special. I sincerely hope you'll reconsider relying so heavily on QR ordering and bring back the option to order directly from servers.

They don't wear microphones or have speakers so dependent on where they are standing at the time in the room, you can or cannot hear them.

The actors tried their best but you could barely hear them. Food was decent though - give them that. Overall not worth the money and the experience was dull. Better off just going to a comedy club or to a movie theatre that serves food. At the beginning of the night they give you a sheet of paper and you are supposed to walk around to other tables asking random folks who are there like you for the experience random "questions" to see if you can figure out "clues" as to who in the crowd might be the hidden actor (killer). So if you have family members or members of your party that do not want to do something like this, then you are better off going elsewhere.

Don't get me started on the food......terrible
