Alamo Drafthouse Cinema: Grab a Pint with Your Picture

November 25, 2014 by

Tim and Karrie League started simply, by repurposing an old parking garage into a movie theater using only their hard-working hands a bit of creativity. They dubbed it the Alamo Drafthouse, and started showing second-run movies on its single screen while they served beer and food to their patrons. It wasn't long before their modest endeavor starting garnering buzz in Austin, from legends like Richard Linklater, Harry Knowles, and even Quentin Tarantino, who hosted marathon screenings of his personal movie collections there.

Today, that first theater has expanded to include a few other locations, including one near Retreat at Cross Mountain in San Antonio. The offerings have expanded, as well. Now in addition to first-run features, the Alamo Drafthouse also shows lesser known, classic, independent, and international films. Their list of beers encompasses many local brewers, and the serving process has been streamlined to minimize distractions during the film. In addition to beer, the theater also serves burgers, wraps, snacks, and dessert.

Visit the Alamo Drafthouse website to learn more about this unique movie theater!
