    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.

    An always great theatre with amazing atmosphere and staff…read more That being said, I want to highlight, particularly, how genius the new QR ordering system is. Although my phone has trouble picking up the dimly lit code, it's simple enough to ask a nearby patron to shine their phone light for me. Easy peasy! The exposition doesn't matter to most of us anyway. There is, however, a new problem unique to the Mueller location! The cell service is abysmal in Mueller, and Alamo Drafthouse's elegant solution is to graciously funnel guests onto their unencrypted public wifi network. To me, this shows a indominable commitment to helping the tech-savvy less fortunate. It's now easier than ever for some of the more determined patrons to access the financial information of anyone ordering this way (so everyone!). As someone who loves to donate but hates receiving praise for it, I really appreciate a system that may allow people more deserving than me to benefit from my bank card details anonymously. Another thing, I LOVE the new layer of audience participation Alamo has introduced by inviting patrons to police one another with their cell phones during the movie. It's nice when everyone gets to be both the problem and the solution. Finally, nothing completes the premium experience like getting a text from Alamo in the third act reminding me to close my tab. I've always felt the emotional climax of a film could use a small, administrative, interruption. 10 billion stars if I could. Ps. I got a great idea I'm willing to share... We should fully replace the pre-show anti-talking & texting warning with a live customer satisfaction survey everyone has to complete on their phones before the movie even starts. Feedback is invaluable.

    This was my first time watching a movie at Alamo Drafthouse Mueller. While this was one of the…read moresmaller theatres I have frequented, it felt cozy and intimate. You can order food and drinks via a QR code at your seat, which is a nice perk. I chose our seats and in retrospect, I should have selected seats in a higher row. The auditorium did not have a steep incline as I anticipated, however, the seats were fine. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of the communal bathrooms, which is the design at the Alamo Drafthouse. The good news is that you have a urinal or restroom option with associated signage. Like all movie theatres, the food and drinks are overpriced. In addition, you have pay a 18% service charge along with a tip. I ordered bottomless popcorn and unsweet tea and paid over $20. Interestingly, the popcorn came in a metal bowl...perhaps a sustainability measure. The popcorn was fresh and buttery. Now for the best part...we went to see the Devil Wear Prada 2. Amazing movie with many salient themes... as a side note, I know every single line of the original Devil Wears Prada. Definitely will be watching this movie again...
