Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Charlottesville

Great food, comfortable seats, friendly staff and I just signed up for their "Season Pass" which, in my opinion, is one of the best deals any of the movie theaters have for unlimited (with stipulations of course) movies. Only thing they need to work on is the odor. It's not horrible, but it definitely has a slight old alcohol smell... which is probably to be expected in theaters where alcohol is served. The combination of darkness and drunkenness apparently only works for a few things ;)

Chairs are comfy and plenty of space to sit criss-crossed. The tables give you a place to set things and the popcorn refills are dangerous, especially with alcohol. You will not stop eating because the popcorn is buttery and delicious. Service is lovely; the employees are good at their job and bending down to help guests focus on the movie must hurt their backs. Thank you for the wonderful experience! So much different than AMC.

Great place to catch a movie. The seats are super comfy and the sound is top notch. What I love the most is the customer service and how accommodating they are. Really great variety of films including occasional classics from past decades. Their website conveniently shows all the films they're showing, including upcoming stuff and you can buy tickets right from the website. Nice bar area with great beer selection to grab a cold one before or after your movie. I believe they also have trivia night once a week. I recommend ordering whatever you want at the beginning of the movie when they first come over to you because the few times I've tried to order something 30 minutes or more into the movie (like a 2nd beer), it usually takes at least 15 minutes for the server to even notice if they notice it at all. The last time I went I couldn't order anything from the menu because I only had cash on me and the server told me they don't take cash. It would be helpful to mention that somewhere on the website. Other than those couple of things, this is my favorite place to catch a flick in town!

Now THIS is how you watch a movie! Recliners that include putting your legs and feet up, and DELICIOUS food! We ate the loaded fries, which had plenty of bacon, cheese, and other flavorful toppings - the best loaded fries I ever ate. We also had tasty mozzarella sticks. And the sodas tasted like they're supposed to - ginger ale and coca-cola. The staff is friendly too. I definitely recommend this theater.
