$25 martini!?!? "we charge by the ounce" is the poor excuse to dramatically raise the prices. read more

Disappointing. I had planned a night out with my spouse and had even gone through the trouble of booking a babysitter. However, the morning of, we were told that the showing had been cancelled. We were not offered any kind of compensation for the inconvenience (although we did receive a refund). We were excited to check out iPic for the first time, but we'll be sticking to Alamo for the time being read more

Longtime iPic patron, though we haven't been to movies during the pandemic. With things being a bit more open and my party being fully vaccinated we wanted to venture to a movie at our favorite place. Everything about the experience, though, was awful. We got there 30 min early so we could order food and be able to see it, but upon ordering 10 min after we sat down and 5 after pressing the call button, we did not get even our waters until 45 min later, past the previews and about 15 min into the movie. No popcorn included, no blankets, no pillow, poor service, cold food. It makes me really sad to see a place go down like this...charge a little more for tickets and bring back the differentiating service. For $15, I'll just go to AMC where the seats are heated. At least there I expect bad food and poor service. Somebody send me a message when they fix their ship. read more

Why are you freezing your customers and wasting sooo much electricity? The service, food, sound quality, and seating was great. However, the temperature was almost unbearable. I am rarely cold and had to ask for 3 blankets. It was around 65 degrees outside and the theater was way colder. This feels environmentally irresponsible, expensive for them, and bad for business. I definitely can't bring some of my family members because they would be way too cold. Bring a parka if you want to be comfortable! read more

We only started going here since the Moviehouse is out of the way after we moved. Is service/experience/food worth the price? no, except your first time. Yes, the service is good and the food is decent (although too expensive considering the premium movie tix price). I cannot comment on how clean the seats are since it is always dark/dim in the theater. It is a convenient location, close to home.. notable food items are the calamari and sashimi over crispy rice. The quantity of food is very small compared to the price. You may be able to catch some live music before/after the movie in the courtyard. read more

IPIC Austin - Peach bellini - Cinema Near Me - Austin, Texas

Not your typical VIP service anymore. This one in particular is always running out of something whether is a starter, or a dessert. And quite often something doesn't work on that day, today it was the call buttons last time it was their soda machine. This theater is chronically understaffed so that only makes things worse, Employees would sometimes for others and thus make mistakes. They're slow and get your order wrong. Sometimes you get your main before you get your starters. The employees get stressed out so in turn you get stressed out too out. Customer service leaves plenty to be desired although today the servers were quite friendly. read more

The theatre is super clean and there js a variety of food that's available. The location is awesome. Central. The service staff is on top of it. read more

We recently went this week on a Thursday. They offered us a nice cozy blanket. The seats are premium. The pod was clean. The table was clean and our server explained to us how it all worked. My husband and I had a great time. We were treated very well and our popcorn was good. They had a wild selection of cocktail drinks. We will be coming back here again! read more

I rarely post reviews but last night the service was terrible. The sound was freakishly loud. It was cold , no blankets. The popcorn was super salty , cold and stale. It took 2 calls to get water , arriving 1 hour into movie. None of the checks were delivered. Instead we all waited outside the theatre in a huge throng of parents and unmasked kids surrounding the waiters. I could see the dismay in the staffs eyes. They must be short staffed. read more

The best movie experience I've ever had! Food is amazing, seats are so comfortable, and service was top tier! It's pricey but it's worth every penny. Amazing date spot! read more

Ok. Best thing about this place is no kids running around. I have given this place a chance SO many times. I just cannot anymore. RUDE STAFF! HORRIBLE ATTITUDES. Blames slow food and no refills on no staff. Old dirty blankets piled up from the night before. HORRIBLE! Don't open all theaters if you don't have the staff! read more

Great place to get away and relax to a good movie. The food is delicious and is served within a timely manner. The seats are comfortable and staff is extremely friendly. Highly recommend read more

An upscale theatre located in the domain. We went with 3 couples and their seating accommodations were amazing! 2-person private feeling booths made for a cozy night. The blankets they leave on the loungers were a nice touch. The food was absolutely 10/10. I didn't have super high expectations for the food, but they know how to bring the flavor. Had the biscuits, pizza, chicken, and tres leches for dessert! read more

So the bottom line I spent $72 for one person to see a movie and eat... OUCH!! Here's my breakdown and thoughts on iPic Austin at The Domain. Pros - Seats feel private - Table moves and has a call button and light - blanket and pillow with each seat - AMAZING sweet tea - big screen and very luxury feeling - free popcorn with the seat - awesome service - great menu with a variety to choose from including keto items (see menu in their app) Cons - sweet tea was $6.25 - food was $27 and was cold and tasteless. They charged me $3 to swap to Sweet potato fries that were cold and soggy - not enough room for my legs to stretch out - seat was a little tight - did last call 45 mins into the movie. I wanted more but had already gotten my receipt - $28 to see a movie??? Why?? - $45+ to join the loyalty program and get pretty much nothing in return... - parking is somewhat difficult I'm sorry but I just keep thinking $72 for one person to see a movie and eat a very small amount of food. $27 got me a medium fry and 4 steak skewers and they were small. Ouch that's a lot to just see a movie. Not sure I can get past that regardless of all the Pros. They do offer a Keto Menu which you can access via their app. I do like their app a lot. Was easy to book my ticket and no convenience fee nor taxes. $28 straight which is nice. I rarely ever book online with Alamo, Movie House, Cinemark etc because of the added fees. Judge for yourself and at least come here once. For me I think it's back to Movie House. They have the best seats ($12.99) and a great menu. Hope this helps read more

IPic is the place to go when you want to impress someone, or for a rather lengthy film or for any other reason you choose. Although, it's much more pricey compared to other theatres it justified by the fact that you have a bit of privacy so you're not burdened with noises from the strangers around you. Did you know you also get complimentary popcorn?! Also, reclining seats and clean blanket provided is a nice extra feature. I'm the person who always brings a blanket so I don't have to worry about that when I visit iPic. The reason I give it 4 stars if for the upgraded "pod" type seating as well as the leather seats. I very much enjoyed the plush velvet seats they had originally. They were much more comfortable and seemed a bit larger. It's hard to enjoy a movie with a large group of friends because of the seating. Also, I've noticed the last few times I've visited that the restrooms were not very well maintained. If you decide to visit, I do suggest getting a gold membership, you will save money with food discounts and tickets. read more

The service from the wait staff is my reason for the rating. I have been to other movie theaters of this sort (i.e. Flex, Alamo Draft house) and have had much better service. During my visit to this establishment, I ordered a glass of wine from the waiter, which I asked for more than once and it never came. I paid 98.00 dollars for 4 people to watch a movie for which subpar service was rendered. read more

Seats are uncomfortable - waitress button completely broken - very slow service with all ordered items - food was good though

I am leaving this review just to let the staff know that it STINKS I have been going to ipic for years and never have I seen the place in this kind of shape. The bathrooms were disgusting and the theatre smells like soiled carpet. I didn't get any food this time but the food hardly ever disappoints, hopefully that still stands. On the other hand just based off the lack of cleanliness and covid regulations I think OSHA should probably check this place out. read more

So I recently got a ticket for 2 days before the movie choice that I wanted to see with my date. I got a call for a gig that I have to work so I had to cancel, as I proceeded to cancel my tickets. The website or app says you have to either contact them by phone or come to their location and get a refund. So I called at least eight times. No one answered the phone, full staff and service was in attendance once I arrive instead,due to the reason of me not being able to contact them through their phone. With that said that is very unprofessional in my opinion i assume they tried to keep your money by making it hard to contact them to get ur money back as I assume I try to cancel, I had to drive 30 minutes to their location to even get a refund and as I got a refund, the manager came down to handle my refund and had a very rude attitude as he proceeded to give me my refund, no type of thank you for your business or any of that type of gesture, I see why the vibe inside is very depressing in business is not very decent as any movie theater should be a place of business where you can come to see your movie and the staff having very professional attitudes towards their position . save ur money with booking on app just buy ticket at the door .i deff will not be bring my business back.my 1st experience was not the vibe read more

We were very excited to be back to at the movies and we were truly disappointed on how dirty our pod was. You think that they would Sanitize the seats between showings.. cup holders were sticky, seats had food and was sticky as well. We were going to order food but we didn't feel comfortable with the experience so far. C'mon IPIC, we thought you hold a higher standard. read more

The food was okay, it didn't really blow us away, but the service was terrible. We were well into our movie before our food arrived and we got there early. The seats were a little uncomfortable for me but the movie experience wasn't bad. read more

If you're looking to make going to the movie theaters an *experience*, then look no further! This is essentially the most upscale movie theater adventures can be with reclining seats, privacy pods, complimentary blankets, and a small table for two to share. The menu is big enough where there is a good variety of finger foods and proper meals. Service was pretty decent there as well; it does take a bit of time to get food out especially if they are full but for the most part they were pretty efficient. NOTE: it cost me in total $95 for 2 people both for the tickets and food that we paid for there. This place is meant to be an experience and I would likely not go see every movie here simply because I can't justify spending that much every time a new movie comes out. Additionally, if you're a visual eater like I am then this might not be the greatest as the theater gets extremely dark and you will need your phone as a a brief makeshift flashlight. If you're looking for a fun date night though, something new and exciting, this is a great place to go! PS: they have some interesting rules such as placing a $75 hold on your card for the entirety of your movie until you leave and not letting you into the theater if you're later than 15 minutes past start time. I can understand the late one to an extent, but the hold for me personally I don't see much point in. read more

They went and done it. You can no longer walk in and waste time with a game of pool, you now have to be a sapphire Member. As if paying $20 to watch a movie and another $20 to eat and drink isn't enough. The free pool tables where actually a bonus for choosing to give you my business now I have to give you more money. I get it, things cost and those pool tables are taking up real estate. But seriously, you've been open for years, making dew. Now I sit and wait for my movie at the bar while the pool tables aren't being used. Sure I could pay another $8 but seriously.......... we've pay to come why pay to stay. I may sound like a rambling grumpy customer but I'm more shocked than I am grumpy. Lol IPic......... if you need money, then the Domain is not the place for your business. I digress. Correction, it's now $30 to eat and drink but wait, they have new seats. Ipic is clearly for the rich and famous. Our quesadillas were bland and we had to remind our service we were gold members. I don't see a plus side to being a member. I will not be renewing. read more

If you are looking for an intimate experience to watch a movie here is a way to do that. You have your own private pod area for two. Complimentary popcorn. The seats go all the way down and feet up, complete with a cup holder in the wall that you can pop out as you pull your blanket over you, fluff your pillow, and snack on whatever you ordered to eat. Expensive but worth it to treat yourself once in awhile. read more

It's so loud it hurts your ears and the food is absolutely horrible. The pizza tastes like it comes from a frozen pizza box.

Retracting my previous review.... Our original visit fell well below expectations but the theater manager went out of his way to make it right. I applaud him for corresponding with me and giving my wife and I a fun evening out. I still say the website needs to be clearer about what is included in the non reclining seats but I realize that's a corporate level decision. I only hope my feedback makes it to the appropriate decision makers. read more

The idea behind the experience at IPIC is great, but the prices are really high and the food is mediocre. Depending on the day, the service can be slow. The actual movie watching experience is great and there isn't a more comfortable way to see a movie outside of your living room. Great date night experience! read more

Everytime I go the employees do not look satisfied. I also heard they are not being treated fairly by their management. You can't take care of us until you take care of your own employees first. very disappointed. read more

Overpriced seats but privacy is nice. Headrest of seats suck had to put their blanket behind my head to be able to help support my head. No hot dogs got 4 mozzarella sticks for 15$ which they were good. Service is kinda slow but two tickets 40$ is a bit much. Don't go see civil war movie sucked. 3/10. read more

Awful experience at Ipic Domain. The theater was extremely warm. It was over 100 degrees outside and the theater was about 75-76 degrees. Never in the history of my life have I been to a theater that was warm, they are always ice cold. They recommend showing up 30 minutes prior to start time of the movie to get your food and drinks ordered. They didn't open theater doors until five minutes before start time. Movie started at 4:20 and they opened doors at 4:15. I could overlook these two things but then our drinks (water and Sprite) came out 30 minutes after our food. I had to leave the theater and request a manager because of no assistance from wait staff and our help button being on. We'll be sticking with Alamo Drafthouse from now on. read more

Okay so I didn't pay for the tickets so I can't say whether the cost is worth it but this is definitely a premium experience. I was in town for NYE and after 48 hours partying, we were done. My buddy woke my up and said "get dressed, we're going to the movies". What a perfect plan it was... big comfy chairs, blankets, pillows, dark room, and servers bringing me mozzarella sticks! Plus the little walls on the side of your chair... in my hungover state it was perfect walking in and not even having to look at another human being. Mozz sticks were good. The server was there when we needed him. And I really enjoyed my afternoon of darkness. Now that I know what the price of the tickets, I would not be able to make this a regular thing, but sometimes it's nice to splurge on a date night... or when you're super hungover :) read more

Some of the theaters have now been renovated (look for the seat maps that have all premium plus seating). Yea! The seating is all private pods with two seats. Enter each pod from one side only. Less armrest space, storage space for purses, etc, is gone, but a lot more private. Bumps up the romance factor for date night, but I'd be a bit uncomfortable to share a pod with a stranger. The handicap seating row is more open, the only non-pod row, if you're wanting to score just one seat. Recliners are leather; a huge step up from the old broken worn cloth recliners. Table between seats in the pod swivels a bit, which is nice. Call buttons for wait staff have not been installed. They cutely mention, saying their ninja staff will check on your needs. "Ninja" apparently means silent and invisible, as I was visited only once, and that was after the movie had started. So A+ on the comfortable new seating and additional privacy. A little sad to see the arm space so shrunk, and a little work to do on consistent service (or to finish with the call buttons). Solid 4 star now with potential for greater. read more

I have been coming here for years and loved it, but our last experience was so bad we will probably not ever go back. We arrive about 45min before to grab a drink at the bar. After standing there for 10min (in front of three bartenders and a manager) we were finally offered menus, and immediately ordered two cocktails and an order of fries. It then took 30min for those two cocktails to be made, we never got the fries (that we were charged for) so we ended up paying $40 for two half filled martini glasses, I told the manager that we were charged for fries we didn't receive and she said "ok" left and never came back. I asked several other employees about it and no one ever handled the issue. Since our movie at this point had started we just had to just leave it and planned to deal with it after the film. In the theater the heat was on full blast and really oppressive. We and several other people around us asked to have it turned down but it never was. We sat for 30min and were never approached by a server, when my Boyfriend finally left the theater to find a server we were told the call button at our seat was broken (which ok, that happens but if that was known then why did a server never approach us?) we ordered two (large) glasses of wine an appetizer and some popcorn. The appetizer came out immediately but the tuna smelled bad so it was inedible and half the items in the description were not on the plate. (Now an hour into the movie) our glasses of wine arrived but they were the wrong wine. The server never returned.... I went out to find a server and could see them all sitting in the staff room but no one came out to serve me so I eventually just went back to the theater. Now with about 20min left on the movie our ticket comes and we inform the server that we couldn't eat the food and that our popcorn never came and at that point she tells us the popcorn machine is broken (maybe could have been mentioned before when we ordered the popcorn) I was not offered a refund or credit for the un-eaten app and we pointed out that the popcorn was on the bill but no one ever came back to refund it. With the food we never ate, two half cocktails, two wrong orders of wine and tickets we ended up paying almost $200. And when I went into the woman's bath room there was over flowing trash, water everywhere, and several backed up toilets which is gross. I get businesses have bad nights but that was ridiculous. I asked on multiple occasions for someone to help us fix the situation but no one ever came back after going to "get help". Normally when a business has one bad night after many good nights I just try to resolve it and move on. But I've tried contacting the theater repeatedly and no one contacts me back so it doesn't seem like they care to fix the issues. read more

I give them a 1/2 a star they at least answered a question that being they are short staff. I was in my theater and was buzzing the button to order food for 30 minutes and nothing. Alamo Draft house as soon as you sit someone is in your face to take your order. They are understaff and cannot hold up there end on getting you your orders. You would do better by bringing your own food and drink. Service is HORRIBLE!!! The side of the seat has sticky stuff stuck! YUCK! Do they even clean the seats. I ask for a manager, he was clueless. He told me Togo back to my seat and someone would come. Still waiting. read more

It had been a few years since I went to the Domain IPIC. My last visit here was in mid 2019 and it was a sub par experience overall because the food was downright bad, so I had avoided this place for a time. I am happy to report that I had the fish and chips at my latest visit and it was really good, it was hot and crispy and delicious. read more

We chose a time that wasn't too late in consideration of meal time. We arrived 30 minutes early, as requested both online after ticket purchase and per the posted notice at the check-in desk. At check-in, we were informed that we could not enter the theater for another ten minutes. Once we were finally seated, we waited approximately 30 minutes until we were approached by a worker for our order. We expected that we would order well before this time and had selected the help or service button at our table. We waited for about 15 minutes for our drinks after ordering and a total of 30 minutes for our fast food of nachos and chicken tenders. The menu did not say chicken tenders, it said buttermilk chicken which led us to believe it was a chicken platter, a meal you eat with a fork and knife. Had we wanted fast food, we would have ordered Sonic or Taco Cabana. I went to the restroom for a bathroom visit before our food arrived and saw a server bringing in a dessert plate! This is poor and unreliable service. I will not return. read more

Hostage situation: beverage service is terrible or non-existent. But if you leave to go get food or water you will miss part of the movie. So you sit there for an hour dehydrated after eating some mediocre buffalo wings without any water refills. Be advised they have shortages on 25% of the food menu. Just stick to the basics and you should be fine. If you go, just sneak in your own food and drinks and do NOT expect any wait staff to assist you. read more

Ipic has remodeled! Gone are the stinky cloth recliners! Now leather and not bumpy!!! Service was impeccable- no waiting :30 for service - they were right on the spot. Food was delicious but the bun was a bit big for the slider burger. Spring roll was VERY spicy. Look: Going here is an event. It's a great date nite place - cozy and comfortable. It's still a bit pricey for dinner and a movie - so save it for that time when you need to make an impression, need to say you're sorry, need to fall in love. Save it for the first night out post baby, for when you need to arrange mom moving in, to announce another deployment. It's special. And it's very nice. We're lucky to have it. Make it your special "go to" place. read more

Our theater was dirty when we entered to seat. The staff asked us to wait outside while they cleaned it. We missed all of the trailers waiting outside. The servers were slow and inattentive. Very disappointed with the staff and my experience the first time here. read more

We chose to try out IPIC tonight to get the "amazing experience" we always hear of. Absolutely not, never again. Thank goodness the movie was great because that was the only redeeming factor. Food was cold, pop corn was bland because they were "out of seasoning", never received our drinks. It took until that last 30 minutes of the 2.5 hour movie to get a glass of water. The theater smelled strange, but was being pumped with some artificial air freshener to cover it up. And the bathrooms were a mess. The staff was disorganized and unfriendly, unfortunately they're probably short staffed. Better to save a few dollars at Cinemark or Alamo Draft House because this place is a mess! read more
