    I love this place! It's so cute and a great way to have a movie experience. We saw Marcel the Shell…read morewith Shoes On, and I'm glad we saw it here than at a regular theater, gave the movie a little something extra special. Definitely not a place to go all the time since the pricing is higher than typical for two people, but absolutely wonderful for an extra treat. Staff is right at the entrance and they were super friendly and helpful and got us situated right away. We weren't the first ones there, so we had to park behind some other cars, but that was totally fine. All the cars in front of us were small enough to not be a problem, and we were in a little Prius. A car that showed up just before the show started took a while to turn their headlights off, which was annoying, but a staff member got them together early enough to not terribly impact our experience. We'll be back!

    This is so Austin and I love it Our movie started at 7 and…read morewe arrived around 6:40, which was perfect timing. We parked on the front row and brought our own snacks and beverages. There is a bathroom if needed and everyone abided by the rules and kept their lights off. Great way to end Valentines Day. I did take a star away as I wish the screen was a little bigger and there was also a few screen interruptions which I figured was due to the wind. I'll definitely do it again.

    If you've ever had the pleasure of watching a movie at a drive-in, then you already know that…read morethere's no other moviegoing experience quite like it. Drive-in theaters have been experiencing a resurgence in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic as they allow movie-goers to maintain social distance from others while still having a night out. If you're looking to visit a drive-in. This also holds true for Austinites. The newest drive-in location brought to Austinies by Blue Starlight Central sits on a lot behind the VFW. Locations such as this one will most certainly renew the drive-in outdoor experience. Last night, the Things and a companion and I watched "Imaginary" (the latest flix brought to viewers from Blumhouse). Those interested in attending a movie here must purchase their tickets on-line in advance of the showing. When arriving at the drive-in, movie goers must show their confirmation of payment for the movie either via electronic receipt on a cell phone or printed copy of payment. After showing proof of payment, mover goers are given instructions on what radio station to tune into to hear the movie (long gone are the days of speakers that are able to be affixed to vehicles once parked). I purchased four tickets and a car slot pack for 4. Packs include two canned sodas of choice, two candies of choice and two warm bags of freshly popped popcorn. This location unlike the other Blue Starlight Central does not serve alcoholic beverages. As noted previously, this location sits behind VFW but is also adjacent to an apartment complex. With this being said, the lights from the apartment complex put somewhat of a haze on the second screen, making it somewhat difficult to see scenes that are in low to dim light. Because this location is newish, there were very few movie goers last night for the screen we watched. In fact, we were only in one of three vehicles watching our screen. This was nice as we were able to sit in our truck bed with blankets and a radio tuned to the drive-in station and were also able to put out our lawn chairs next to the truck and not be next to any other cars/vehicles. This location's decor certainly does give a vintage 1950s vibe. As it relates to this vintage appeal, it should be noted that this is not the fanciest drive-in but does make up for ​​lack of the newest this or that by conjuring up nostalgic memories of days gone by. Total for 4 and slot packs $71.50

The staff was pretty cool and accommodating with rescheduling. My favorite part was when the movie screen keeping fading on and off. - they should fix that.

    Overall: 3.5/5 [dine in]…read more This theater is in a great location and is always clean. They also validate parking at the McBee garage which is a nice perk. The seats are a bit older than the Lakeline location and don't seem to recline as much, but the drinks come out faster here. They also have a nice upstairs outdoor patio to hang out on. We got the boneless wings with fries ($18.25). The fries were alright but the wings were not good, the taste and flavor just weren't for me. The portion was also pretty small for the price.

    It's amazing how much private equity can sh*tify something up so badly that you can't even…read morerecognize the original business anymore. 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.

    Kudos to Alamo for being the pioneer in offering food and drink while watching movies. While they…read morestarted with pencil and paper ordering, they have now upgraded to scanning a QR code to order online through the menu. Very .easy and convenient! Not only do they have good food and "bottomless" popcorn bowls, they also sponsor fun preview events to their special Victory fan club members, of which I am one. Last night they previewed the movie "Power Ballad," an excellent film starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas. Often they have special guests to introduce the movie and offer fun contests. At the Power Ballad preview, they awarded a guitar to the first person to jump up and name the director (John Carney). I didn't win. The theater is definitely geared to film buffs and not the normal blockbuster movie goer, with posters from current and classic films decorating the walls. They even have the scary twins from "The Shining" in one of the hallways. You won't see that at any multiplex movie theater!

    Alamo used to be the best in the world, then corporate parasites went to town on it and now it…read morecompletely blows. $160 for 3 people to see a movie. The prices are just insane. You can't order from a menu anymore, only an app, which DIDNT WORK, so I had to leave the theater to order and flag down some random employee in the hallway. I've been going to Alamo since they opened in the 90s, now I'll never go back. The greedy new owners completely ruined it.
