    "The Alamo Drafthouse Downtown theater features a renovated, luxurious recliner seating, curated first-run movies, and cult classics. It offers full-service, from-scratch dining, craft beers, and cocktails delivered to your seat, enforcing a strict no-talking/no-texting policy. " Alamo is getting my touchas into the theater! Why? It really is an experience that I'm obsessing over..how could this post COVID, happy to be a couch potato and stream away moviegoer want to see movies IRL? Alamo is delivering first class service.. You enter the theater and you are greeted, yes, old fashioned"Hello, welcome to Alamo" wait where am I? Courtesy? Smiling employees.. I'm Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz! The theater is well designed, elevator and escalators to get you to the multitude of theaters. Here's what I really love.. -the in dining service! Bottomless popcorn, pretzel with queso ( nice serving!) and mustard, shakes, burgers ( The Royale with Cheese!), fries, desserts, bottomless beverages.. whew! A smorgasbord at your fingers! Scan the bar code, employee comes over and let the service begins! The pretzel is my fave! - seating: comfy recliners, no " big head worries"( hey I'm 5'1"! These head blockers obscure everything with all due respect!) - cleanliness -all new movies and classics! - no texting/talking. Yes folks, the kindly neighbor who hears your excessive chitchat, presses a button and as in baseball " Strike three, you're out!" -most Alamos are in malls, Staten Island is in Hylan Boulevard plaza where there's a wealth of shops pre or post movie. Alamo Downtown Brooklyn is in CitiPoint.. there is a Food Hall, Trader Joe's, Joybird and many more! Repeat after me: "ALAMO, ALAMO, ALAMO,where the movie lovers go! Alamo Drafthouse Cinema 445 Albee Sq West Take R train to Dekalb Avenue Station, exit at Fleet Street exit, Citi Point is 2 steps from Dekalb Station. Follow signs to Alamo Theater. Take escalator to 4th floor or elevator. Get those popcorn fingers ready.

    Easy to purchase tickets online! Helpful greeter! Arrived early and they showed old clips of famous actors! We saw the QR code on tables and ordered via phone not realizing that their were humans also taking orders. I wished I was given the option. Ordered the malbec first time it came in a nice sized glass next time a smaller glass. No consistency. It felt almost like bait and switch. Popcorn wasn't give the option of no salt. My friend loved the wings and fries. I would go back but eat and drink before entering. Seats were comfy. Good crowd. The waiters look stressed. They also said when movie starts to write any additional food requests on paper and hold up. The waiters walked pass my waving card a few times.

    Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas at City Point is located in Downtown Brooklyn in what used to be Albee Square Mall, it's now a decorative enclosed space. The lower level has an eclectic food court with so many unique food options it was hard to decide. There is a Sephora, Target, Trader joes and three floors of Primark along with shops from independent brands. The Alamo Cinema is on the 4th floor next to Court 16 a Tennis and Pickle ball court. Movie tickets are $19.99 and there is no concession stand, you order food and drinks from your seat and staff bring it to you. I suggest ordering the bottomless popcorn, it was enough for three of us, and we didn't need a refill. The food menu is reasonable price, the theater is clean. They have a strict late entry policy, our show was scheduled for 3:30, seating started at 3:15, however if you come later then 3:45 you will not be allowed to enter ! The escalators were not working inside the theater and a few were out of order inside the mall. The elevators weren't crowed and came frequently. I will visit again and splurge on a sandwich from Katz.

    For mothers me and my daughter went to see devil wears Prada. Along with the an excellent movie we enjoyed bbq chicken tenders and fries and a cookie milkshake and I had fries and 2 glasses of wine. Cushioned seats and great service, I will be returning!!

    My wife and I have enjoyed this theater several times with the old school ambiance and Great Customer service by sylvan d our server and the tasty wings . A date night out with the wife all in one place.

    My partner and I decided to do dinner and a movie for Valentine's Day. We usually go to nitehawk movie theater, but he decided he'd like to try somewhere different. Turns out most of the employees were striking. They stated Alamo drafthouse had fired 70 employees across all chains illegally. We felt badly, but decided to go in, it was late and there would have been no opportunity to go to any other theater. Once inside, due to the strikes there was no food being served. Which was a no for me, because I hadn't eaten since breakfast and it was almost 9pm. However, because this theater is located in the city point mall, which has multiple restaurants downstairs. They allowed us to grab food and beverages and bring it in. A huge plus. The theater seemed clean and the staff that was present was very nice and accommodating. Going back would be determined on more research regarding this strike and the validity of the claims.

    Comfortable theater seating

    I went once with my husband, and the cinema was clean and comfortable. The attendants were kind and provided good service. The main issue I had was that the bathroom is located in the restaurant upstairs, which is far from the theaters and inconvenient if you need to use the restroom during a movie. Also, the Buffalo chicken wings were extremely salty, which negatively impacted the taste. Reducing the sodium would greatly improve the dish. I would still go again because I enjoyed the atmosphere of the theater and appreciated the service.

    Alamo Drafthouse used to be fun but when I went here last week, not as much as before. I had trouble finding the correct theater - I initially went to the wrong one - there was no one around to help. During the film, there were frequent distractions with too many people walking back and forth in front of the screen, either guests or staff bringing food and drinks. The screen and sound system were fine. I enjoy having extra space to relax. If you can choose a seat, suggest picking one away from the door, fewer distractions. Alamo is a great theater experience overall.

    Great location inside Albee square mall on the top floor. The theatre is clean. We saw Wicked and I wish the sound system was a little bit better because the music was amazing and I couldn't get the full sound effect for a movie like this. We had wine while watching n service is fast n friendly.

    Ask the Community - Alamo Drafthouse

    Do they serve alcohol?

    Yep! Huge menu of it as well.

    Do you have to order the food online with the tickets, or can I order food in person?

    You order in person at your seat. You can order anytime, before or during the film.

    What time does the box office open? I know the ticket machines can be used even when no one's at the front desk. But what if you want to speak to someone at the ticket booth?

    It should be open about 11am

    How can I tell which of the 7 theaters has reclining seats? Those straight seats are plush but are so uncomfortable after 2 hours!…

    All of the theaters have reclining seats, but the catch is they're only located in the first row.

    Do you need a ID to go In?

    Minimum age of six years old at the Alamo with an adult. 17 and up to buy a ticket solo. https://drafthouse.com/nyc/theater/downtown-brooklyn/admission

    Is there a break given between movies during a marathon? If so, how long?

    Um..it depends on the movie lol...

    How early should you get there before your movie?

    I like to get there at least twenty minutes beforehand since it gives me time to use the restroom before I head into the theater. Then you have enough time to put in your food order before the movie starts so you don't have to worry about doing… Read more

    Are there seats which a disabled person with trouble sitting/standing to fit comfortably? I've got knee/hip replacements...

    They do have some seats for wheelchairs in each theater, if that is what you mean. Otherwise, rows are more spaced than your average theater as there is a table every two seats, meaning that you will be able to stretch your legs completely without… Read more

    What would be the best row(s) to sit at in these theaters?

    Anything a few rows back is good. The front row is a bit too close, but it's tolerable, and it has the bonus of an extendable footrest. The theaters are pretty small, so even the back rows are fine, although I always think the middle is best.

    Does this place have loveseats?

    No love seats, but there are seats that are grouped together in pairs.

    What is exactly on ALAMO menu?

    They have an extensive menu from burgers to hotdogs with varied toppings, flatbread, wings both hot and Thai, salads (huge), fries (also huge), chicken sandwiches, and my favorite the truffle parm popcorn. They have warm cookies (stop drooling) and… Read more

    Does the Alamo serve breakfast/brunch options for the early showings?

    Management told me that Alamo does a special brunch menu for the first two showings of each movie on Saturdays and Sundays.

It offers a more intimate, neighborhood cinema experience with comfortable seating, staggered seating arrangements in some theaters, and often features discounted tickets on certain days, making it a popular local spot. ' Cobble Hill is a landmark, and yes, love supporting an independent theatre. There is a time and a place for "stadium seating" however, there is something to be said for a small theatre. I really like the idea of just 50 people sharing this intimate space. I really feel as if I'm in my living room watching the movie. The theater has been renovated over the years and I must say the seating is comfy, a bit elevated thus no " big head" issues, very clean especially the bathrooms. The popcorn is still delicious and I see they have an add butter "faucet" which has been recently added. CH still offers discounts on Tuesdays and Thursdays; used to be $9 back in the day. I love supporting this theater and you can't beat Cobble Hill neighborhood which offers a wealth of restaurants, shopping and just a cool area to stroll and view the beautiful brownstones.

Then they failed to refund the full amount paid, which included a "service fee". Wasted 2 hours of my and my 5yo son's day in transit, and getting the refund, as well as paying for overpriced popcorn and candy only to be partially refunded for their failure. Unbelievably bad customer service. No shade on the staff (they actually asked me to write this review because "the management doesn't care about them") who were obviously placed in a bad spot. This is all on the management who are running the theater with unethical business practices. Do not go here. Update: They refunded me the service charge, but failed to answer any of my questions as to whether they'd refund others who didn't complain or would change their policy.

The staff came across as nonchalant and not very engaged, which set the tone right away. The food didn't help either--the spicy tuna was completely flavorless, not crispy and the drinks were underwhelming. We also weren't told ahead of time that you have to pick up your food and drinks yourself, which was surprising since we're used to full service at your seat. On the positive side, the popcorn and truffle fries were decent, but everything else fell short. The seats were just okay--not particularly comfortable. The bathroom situation was also frustrating--it's located upstairs near the restaurant and wasn't well maintained. There were no paper towels, and overall cleanliness was lacking. Overall, this felt like a subpar experience, and I won't be returning. My cousin mentioned the New Jersey location is much better, so maybe it's just this one--but based on this visit, I wouldn't recommend it.

I haven't been a regular moviegoer as I used to be, COVID unfortunately impacted that habit.
