Love the salted caramel milkshake ! Fried potato/cheese balls w/sour cream are also delicious! Seats are very comfy and staff is unobtrusive during movies which is a big detractor for me usually.

Cari Gillespie

THE BEST movie theater in town . :) Show up a little early to see the previews that are either the same subject/genre as the movie you're seeing, or have the same actors.

Sarah E.

This theatre is awesome. The preshow are clips, quips, and cartoons pertaining to the movie . No annoying advertisements. Staff are friendly and food is tasty w/ good portions. Pricey , but worth it.

Jessica Martinez

There are two specials not on the menu . Cheap date - 2 salads 2 pizzas and a pitcher of soda for $25. Rich date - 2 salads 2 pizzas and a pitcher of beer or bottle of wine for $35. Ask your server

Scott Hernandez

Use the parking garage ! It's underground parking , around the left of the theater. Elevator right up to box office level. Sad I didn't know about this the previous dozen times I've been here.

Rene Martinez

Remember if you work at H-E-B show them your H-E-B partner perk card at the ticket outlet and get a free large popcorn coupon when you buy a movie ticket and that's all alamo drafthouses in san anto!!

Gabriel Culiat

This is one of the best Alamo Draft Houses I've visited. Gabriel Culiat will definitely recommend them to family and friends. Food was amazing and the staff were super kind

Sam W

The Philly cheese steak is delicious. Try it as a wrap ! Also, the popcorn is awesome with bottomless refills! Get there early for a good seat for popular new releases.

Tiara Shantelle

I like the restaurant like catering , I dont even have to get out of my seat to order. If you get there late enough there will be no one manning the entrance so you can practically enter for free.????

Anne Dunkley

Great service. Great food and beer selection . I won't go anywhere else to see a movie !!!

Alice Chai

Great service! Nice, fast, and very conscious of ducking to get out of the way. ????????

Gerald Watts

I love this place... great food, great service, 21+ (which means no kids) and great seats

Carter Bailey

Apparently, if you purchase your tickets online you can just bring your printed order slip instead of picking up ticket slips at the counter!

Raul Garcia

First time there and I might say I liked it... Love the way you can order almost anything and will be brought out to you..

Dina C

Best place to watch movies , get your grub and drink on and not having screaming kids or people on their phones all the time. Strict no phone policy.

Mario M.

Home to perhaps the best preztel in town . Try it with a side of hatch chile queso blanco .

Max Devon Parrilla

Try the "wild mushroom burger " and substitute the cheese for Swiss and add bacon . Your taste buds will thank you.

Emilio Sada Paz

This location is the newest of the San Antonio locations. In case you feel like changing up the scene from the more "rustic looking" ones in town .

Social News Network

The entertainment before the movie is awesome. This theater is preferable because it's a bit newer than the Westlakes location.

Jaysyn Longoria

Nice to see ADH making a stronger presence in the San Antonio market . Keep an eye out for special features that don't fall into the your "normal" release category of hollywood blockbusters..super fun!

Kelvin Perez

Great experience! Simple and easy if its your first time. Service was very good!

Felicia Banegas

My Favorite theater !! Good food and service! Plus it's one of the only theaters that honor college student discounts !

Jennifer Longoria

Have a pizza & a beer with your movie , but be sure to check-in before your movie starts... The Drafthouse is a true "no texting" theater!

Mario Yanez

Root beer floats are amazing! I love this place. Best seats, best service, best food, best everything.

Clay Chastain

This place is legit. The beer is expensive so either go big and get the Drafthouse ESB or become a hipster and get the 2.50 Blue Ribbon. Not sure how that beer got an award. But anyway order a pizza .

Jennifer Siu-Rivera

Awesome screen and surround sound! Great layout inside theater. This by far our favorite theater! Don't think we want see movie anywhere else in SA!

Nick Hankins

Love this place. Sometimes the wait staff can be a little a little slow though.

Matt

Call ahead for show times. They never match their own website, let alone Google, Yahoo, etc. Seems like its intentional to get you to spend more at the bar before the movie starts. Smart, but lame.

Karen Tartt

The cheese plate is legit, but could use a few more pieces of toasted bread and a knife for goodness sakes..it was delicious, but kind of a mess!!! Lol

Sarah Penrod

Excellent midnight special showings of the big pop culture movies like Harry Potter, Twilight, etc. The waiters dress up and they decorate the theaters.

Lucas Roesler

Show up before even the previews start, otherwise the food won't show up until half way through the movie and will be cold. (this happened to me for cowboys & aliens at 7 pm August 12)

Emily Starnes

Saturday's and Sunday's they do bunch until 2 pm! And you can save money with the matinee priced tickets!

A Train ????????????

The growlers are awesome!

Jorge I. Figueroa

There is a very good reason for the low temperature with the A/C, it prevents the food odor to be overwhelming

Ashley Peaches

Best theater in san antonio!!! Supaaa dupaaa clean and i love getting real ale in a pitcher - popcorn in a real bowl!

Adrian Bretado

Best place in SA to catch a movie . Hands down best theater popcorn and best of all - no kids!

Kaitlin Magno

I've been going to this place a couple years and they must have changed management or something... food used to be A+++++ but now it suckszzzzz

Jaysyn Longoria

Ask your server/usher about specials that may not be on the menu, you'll be pleasantly surprised about what they may have to offer!!

Cin R

Ask for the ”brandy ” root beer float ! Abita draft root beer with ice cream a la mode!!!!!

Sam

Flash was awesome! It'll be interesting to see where the DCEU goes from here.....

Melinda Diaz

Service was great. Clean theater. Cold beer and hot food.

Kori Ashton

Be sure to bring a jacket or blanket. The theaters are always very cold!!

Mayra Alexandra

Their salads/wraps have tofu options ♡♡♡

Amanda Riojas

Great place for date night . Love the atmosphere

keith largo

Food and beer is as expected for drafthouse but the theatres are disgusting. Went to go see star wars and it smelt like a dive bar . Skip this one and go to the stone oak location

Samantha Lee

Popcorn flavored are delicious

Bryan Green

They have Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA on tap . Get that if you love your taste buds at all.

Damian Glasgow

Best theater in the world. Great events every month. Check there website often.

Briana Perez

Order the basket of fries with queso , you will NOT be disappointed!

Heidi Teasley

Queso Magnifico Andalusia Snakebite or Black Velvet is the best!!!
