This is by far my favorite Alamo in Austin . I love the seating set up, the staff is friendly , and the food is always fresh and tasty. I love all the yummy gluten free options at Alamo ! Try the pizza !

Austin Chronicle

The Alamo expands to tony Circle C with all its charm intact, with inventive programming and a tongue-in-cheek menu that confirms whey we love the Alamo : Because they love movies as much as we do. Read more

Kyle James

Alamo is a fantastic company but this location is the hands down BEST drafthouse. Great lobby, and the tables that two chairs share instead of the long bench-style ones at other locations.

Tyler Perroux

New all reserved is nice, but know which tables match which seats. All rows start at 1. So the odd number and the even abve it share a table. Watch out for the handicapped rows!!!

Justin Martin

What a venue for a movie ! The visuals have Sony 4k projectors & great accompanying sound (not sure if Atmos). The draft beers were "hoppy" & the food tasty. Great place for the family or a date!

Elizabeth Hall

Loved the FREE Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Boy Scout popcorn sample, training for the upcoming popcorn sale plus dinner ! Super comfortable seats & awesome food! Try chocolate pb shake = worth buying!

Sven Johnson

Help your friend out of their seat. They are awkward AF. Your center of balance is obstructed by the mounted table. They are nice and comfortable , but once the movie is over, help your friend.

Dianey Sandoval

Great movie theater and great service!!Sat at the 400 bar next door while we waited for our movie . They have a variety of games you can play while you wait.... :)

Social News Network

This applies to all of them, these places are for people who love movies . They put on special events all the time with special features going on. The food is good too considering it is a movie theater

Gina R.

Best place to see a movie ! special events & food/drink specials for certain movies . Only complaint is they don't have any BBQ sauce ! Otherwise perfect movie going experiences!

Imelda Carrisalez

Best Alamo Drafthouse in Austin. I would definitely reserve the tickets online because chances are you won't get tickets an hour before the movie if you show up. Love the chips and queso !

Anthony Youhas

Out-of-towner here. SO glad my Austin friends took me here; loved the experience. CANNOT WAIT for them to expand out to a theater in my chunk of the world.

Mark Gouldsmith

Full bar plus great food. Big fan of the salads as well as the green chile pork stew .

Sara

Get there early for parking . Great service and large theaters. You can't beat endless popcorn .

Linda Baer

Seeing a private showing of "Star Wars" the day before it officially opened was awesome. The food and beverages are excellent.

Mike Wrbsky

Loved the pre movie entertainment. A refreshing break from ads. Also appreciated the hard stance on no talking/texting.

David Pitts

Arrive early and watch a strange compilation of videos and previews that are ostensibly related to your feature film . Also eat fried pickles , they're ballin'.

Katherine Sánchez

Pizza if you're starving, fried pickles if you're in a snack mood and always go with one of the limited beers !

Chris J

First timers: get there early, hang out in the bar , and get in your theater with plenty of time to check out the menu.

Damian Bayona

Even the front row seats offer a good view . Don't be dissuaded by your normal movie theater experiences ????

Andres Elizondo

Great movie experiences here. At least order one of their spiked milkshakes if you're turned off by the other food options, which are typically $$

Randall

This Drafthouse has tables for two, instead of one long bar table per row, so keep that in mind when reserving seats or else you'll be sitting at a table with someone else's significant other.

Jeff C.

Awesome service and the bar is great for happy hour too!

Jiesu Lee

Popcorn with Parmesan is a great go to if you don't want anything heavy but still want a snack ????

Andy Wilson

The green chili mac is heavenly. Pair with fried pickles . Check it out and try one of their seasonal specials which always rock.

Nicholle

Refrain from eating the chips and queso . It's guaranteed that the sounds of you chewing and digging around for that perfect tortilla bit WILL carry.

Katherine Sánchez

Pizza is a must, fried pickles if you're not too hungry and always a limited run beer !

Sheetal Bongale

Pizza , Chicken wings , Popcorn with herbs and cheese

Cole H

Can somebody let the blue hairs know that there's a light under every table and that they can leave their flashlights at home?

Aly Collins

We actually didn't mind/notice the servers walking around like many others have mentioned. It was cool to go to such a nice, new theater!

Joveth Gonzalez

Love this place. Be sure to get here at least 30 mins before to enjoy the pre-show clips :)

Joe Knize

The menus are under the table, where there is also an unobtrusive little red light so you can see what you're writing during the movie .

Bekah Dallman

Try a drink next door at 400 Rabbits before your movie , great mix of cocktails and tequilas !

RexAnn Shotwell

Best Alamo in town because of the couples tables. I hate the whole bench thing... Makes for an uncomfortable meal

TY H

You'll never want go to a regular theatre ever again. Get the green chile cheese fries !! And a Paloma.

Dan Mateer

The building is an elaborate optical illusion. It can actually hold 1,000 more people than there are parking spots outside.

Faris

(The menus are underneath the tables, as are the reading lights)

M J

3rd movie experience at Alamo Slaughter location - we LOVE the new digs but the service (again) is HORRIBLE. Hopefully these are just growing pains!

Anna Grothaus

way better than the drafthouse on s. lamar. there is actually enough parking , they show more movies and its not sold out every stinkin night.

Aaron Vincent

Order a Live Oak Hefeweizen while you watch a movie !

CentralTexas RoadRelics

Just FYI, all Alamo Drafthouse's are now assigned seating! Make sure to either order online or be here early.

Jaguar Land Rover Austin

Leave a tip. Literally for your server. Alamo in Austin has the best & friendliest service !

Topher James

Comfy reclining chairs and good beer selection

Mohd Irteza

Get the Brie & Onion Jam Burger . It's heavenly!

Tim W

Best Alamo in Texas, so far. Every new location seems to improve on their standard.

Mike Z

You gotta get your tickets early if you're going in a group. Great theatre though.

Megan Sherer

The spaghetti squash marinara is new and delicious!

Mina Adame

The Bacon , brussels sprout , & goat cheese pizza is my new favorite!!

Wendy

The tables are better than the other locations. I don't have to sit on the edge of my seat to eat.

Kevin R
