They have similar movie theater/restaurant places in other cities but Austin and the Alamo Drafthouse have it exactly right! They have a great beer selection, good movies, and the seating here is really comfy. Definitely get there an hour to 45 minutes early and get in line for a good seat and put an order in as soon as you sit down because this place gets crowded fast. The waiting is no problem though because the pre-show entertainment is almost as good as the movie! The servers do a good job with the lighting they have available and of course the food is amazing (even though it is overpriced, like it is at every other movie theater!) The Alamo is my favorite place in Austin, by far.
Pros: Great food, cold beer, comfy seats, good preshow, fairly fast service, no babies allowed!
Cons: Food is a little pricey, crowded
