Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas
An Alamo Drafthouse Cinema venue combines first-run movies with in-theater food and beverage service in a multi-screen theater/restaurant format. We serve guests looking for a more complete movie-going experience, with luxury seating, seat-side service, craft beer, wine, cocktails, and a menu of food and drinks. Our locations are typically large-format venues of about 35,000 to 45,000 square feet with 8 to 12 screens. We show a mix of mainstream, independent, and classic films. We operate in urban markets and pair the movie experience with a distinctive dining and entertainment environment.
