Tired of movie stadiums with teenage drones working the register and concession stand? Then get to know the Alamo Drafthouse chain. A true movie experience awaits you with colorful people, a diverse movie selection and best of all, a full menu that is served to you at your seat. Ever had a glass of real French Champagne at a movie theater? I did with a big salad and warm cookies towards the end. My family and avoid going anywhere else. Once you have taken your kids to the Alamo they will be disappointed going to a place which does not serve French Fries and popcorn in a real metal bowl. It?s, of course, very easy to run up a decent tab but when you consider that you get a meal, movie, and dessert it is not such a bad deal. My family (2 adults, 3 kids) does the whole thing for about $60. It is worth noting, Mom and Dad, that the crowds and even the previews tend to be ?edgier?. Anything movie rated PG-13 or higher might have previews that could be objectionable. But any kid movie is generally safe. See you there!!
Pros: Good food, above average wine and beer, great movie variety, staff that knows and cares!
Cons: Though generally family friendly ,staff sometimes not totally comfortable with kids. No kid pricing.
