Movies, Food, and Beer
The first movie I saw at the Alamo Drafthouse was Rock and Roll High School. It was the beginning of a long and meaningful relationship. I could have beer served to me while watching a movie. That alone was a great reason to go, but you could also pick from a menu, and finish off with dessert. The Alamo Drafthouse also shows UT football games on Saturdays, a treat on their big screen. The attitude is very Austin; laid back and fun. The wait staff does their best to stay out of your way and tend to your needs as soon as they can.    [19 Oct 2000 11:45:04]

Dinner and Beer and a Movie, Oh My!
I don't know how it could get much better than this, unless maybe you got a foot massage while you were eating your dinner, drinking your beer, and watching the movie.

My favorite dish on the menu is the chicken pesto pizza with black olives and roma tomatoes. The salad and focaccia bread is quite tasty, too.

One of the many times I've been there, there was a mixup with my order and I didn't get it until very late in the movie. The waitperson was very apologetic, and our whole meal was free (including the appetizers that did arrive on time). But besides that one incident, the service has been perfect every time!

Oh, and my favorite aspect about watching movies at this theater in particular: If anyone's talking during the movie, just tell your waitperson and they'll be escorted out. In fact, they show a clip before every movie that ends with "Don't talk during the movie or we'll take your a** out."    [22 Jan 2003 18:27:24]
