Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Charlottesville

"The only theater we go to now! The food & drink selections are great - fantastic popcorn (seriously though, way better than other theaters)! The wings are bangin’ and the recliner chairs are a necessity for my early 30’s ADHD fidgeting and lower back pain. We love coming to the Alamo - service is quick and easy, prices are comparable to other theaters and fast-dining locations. Pro tip: their happy hour specials are awesome - and you can carry them into the theater!"

"My first visit was with my family to watch The Color Purple on Christmas day and it was a great experience! Definitely will be back to this theater!"

"My wife and I purchased tickets to a kids show (Migration) that said “Kid Friendly” with our 4.5yo and almost 3yo. The manager stopped us at the door to ask their ages and after we said our youngest was almost 3, he said we couldn’t see the show. When they gave a refund, it was only partial because of “booking fees” they refused to refund. The kids were very upset and it ruined the night out with the family. We realize that if we looked closer we would have seen that the minimum age is 3 for a “Kid Friendly” showing, as we knew they couldn’t go to an adult show, but the wording really threw us off. Saying “Kid Friendly” is very misleading and should just say “Ages 3+” instead. I feel they should have made an exception. Disclaimer: When we go together for date nights we always have a great experience."

"Excellent theater! Order food and drinks while watching your movie. Food is delicious (especially the chicken fingers!). They have a better draft beer selection than most restaurants in town. Discounted tickets every Tuesday. Highly recommend!"

"Alamo Drafthouse was great. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. We did have to use our cell phone flashlights a few times to see the food, menu and bill, but that was not a surprise nor a deal breaker. The grilled chicken salad and lemonade were both delicious. They offer a good selection of new movies and the seats are comfortable, especially the reclining seats. I definitely recommend this theater experience and would patron again."
