    Banana pudding and coke.

    I always get so happy for movie night here. What I love most about Alana Drafthouse is how they screen throwback movies. The food is incredible and I love the snacks and apps. The service is pretty fast, the theatre is clean. I highly recommend coming to Alana drafthouse.

    Even with 19 years of going to Alamo for movies across the country. Truly a massive fan, I went in open minded about the new QR codes and it ended up being as bullshit as I expected. TLDR: FUCK the need to use phones in the theater. Insane decision. Repeal it. First off, once I sat down...I watched the employees walk past as if I didn't exist, typically I'd have a water right away and a nice greeting. Took the human experience right out of it. Then it was too dark to put in my credit card number. Dropped my credit card into the crack of my seat in the meantime. Then I order my pretzels and of course one of them comes out raw inside, which is unfortunate, so I "requested service" on my cell phone -- no one came for 15 minutes. (Reminder the button used to take only moments.) Eventually I chirped at a server in the row below, enraging the woman next to me (reminder, there used to be a very satisfying button, which I tried to press and saw it had a fucking child lock on it and I felt like an infant that couldn't get into a pantry. Nuts). Then I try to order my dinner and somehow double order pizzas and have to explain to the woman that I cannot eat more than one pizza. All the while, I'm fumbling my cell phone and trying not to lose it and I see the woman next to me ordering and a tinder notification pops up. The details are streaming back now. Anyway... Way to take the human experience completely out of the only novel movie-going experience out there. Will be organizing to get my friends to leave reviews as well. We were all annoyed even with open minds.

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich

    Alamo Drafthouse - Wrigleyville is my go-to date night spot for my husband and I! The decor inside of Alamo Drafthouse - Wrigleyville reminds me of an arcade from the 80s. They have a ton of throwback 80s movie posters along the walls and the sitting area by the bar has a lot of retro decor. Alamo Drafthouse - Wrigleyville has changed the way I go to the movies. It's made it nearly impossible for me to go to a movie theater that doesn't have recliner seats and table side food delivery. The biggest draw of Alamo Drafthouse - Wrigleyville (for me) is the comfortable seating and table side ordering. The food at Alamo Drafthouse - Wrigleyville is surprisingly delicious for it to be a movie theater. I've had a few of the entrees and I can say the top entree is the chicken club sandwich but a close second is the burger. The portion sizes are pretty sizable so you could easily share one entree with no issue. The one downside of Alamo Drafthouse - Wrigleyville is that it's small in comparison to other theaters so you have to stay on top of buying your movie tickets early. They typically show movies for one week to make room for other movies coming out. I've seen them have a movie available longer than a week but it has to be a big movie, like Superman.

    Prices of items

    Yeah, I'm sorry. This is absolutely unacceptable. This is how much getting a pizza, loaded fries, and a Coke zero was. If the food was good, I wouldn't be writing this, but the price is still unacceptable. I go here often, the food has gotten progressively worse. The center of my pizza was chewy and undercooked. The queso is a new recipe? It was inedible. $8.50 for a Coke Zero? No one made me hit submit, but I will never buy food here again.

    The hubby and I have date night at the Alamo a few times a month. It's perfect because you not only go there to watch a movie, but they serve food and drinks. They menus has the typical popcorn, plus much more. Burgers, pizza, candy, shakes, coffee, drinks! They also have game nights and karaoke nights it's not just a theater. Everyone here is kind and friendly. Server's are experienced and knowledgeable. Always a great time here.

    Chicken sandwich

    Came here to see the new Superman movie. The theater has a lot of nostalgic posters and some memorabilia. I like that they have a gift shop as well. We had pretty nice seats & the staff was very friendly. I ordered a chicken sandwich with lemon pepper. It was pretty tasty, I was surprised it was so juicy, fresh sand flavorful. I got the bottomless Diet Coke. It was super easy to request more. It was very worth it. A great experience overall.

    Favorite movie theater in the city located right next to Wrigley Field of all places. While it used to be a standalone theater, it was recently acquired by Sony. I can't say I've noticed any difference in quality of food or price personally, it is kind of sad in a sense. Their food is actually really good. I usually order the Chicken Tender meal and we usually get the Churro Popcorn. I would actually recommend getting there prior to the ads, because then you can get your order taken and food delivered prior to the start of the movie. The theaters are also well kept and the seats are new recliner seats. I haven't noticed any damage yet which is nice. They also have a cool retro theme to the movie theater where they will be playing clips from old movies and you can actually rent movies at the front.

    Alamo Drafthouse is such a fun place for a movie themed party or event. I've watched several movies here now, including a recent "Elf" movie watch party. The host and servers make the atmosphere fun and enjoyable all while coming in and out of the theatre with drink and food orders without disturbing your movie experience. Patrons often dress in characters aligned with the show (Like we did)! Food and drinks are expensive, but very tasty popcorn and chicken tenders with French fries. During themed events you can also order special movie themed cocktails and entrees. Singing along to movies is not required, but not frowned upon either, during special screenings. Afterwards, there are many fun bars you can "crawl" to and see the cute Pop-Ups during the holidays.

    I absolutely love love love this movie theater. I have a monthly seasonal pass which is worth it if you're a regular. They have some fantastic appetizers, a loyalty program, super comfy seating and great service every time. I think it's cool they always have throwback movies showing. I will always choose Alamo over any movie theater :)

    My wife is disabled. So I try to minimize the distance she needs to walk whenever I can. When parking in the garage or street drop-off, how far is the walk? We had a bad experience in the Los Angeles ADH, and I want to plan a fun date night here.

    The garage is about a block away, but I got lucky in this crowded area and got a spot across the street.

The staff was super attentive and kind, checking on us frequently. My friend and I stopped by for happy hour, and this should absolutely make it onto the list of the best in town. They have delicious wine, cocktails, and bites for nearly half of the regular price. I opted for the happy hour prosecco to drink, which was light-bodied and not too sweet. We split the meatballs and dates for bites and both were outstanding. I was super impressed with how tender the meatballs were, and they did not skimp on the flavorful marinara and cheese! The dates, which were topped with a white wine cheese sauce, were mouth-wateringly delicious and a must order. There was also complimentary focaccia with olive oil, which was greatly appreciated. With sea salt on top and a crispy exterior, I could easily have eaten a whole loaf. The only note I have is that the portions are small, so if you don't come during happy hour the prices are a bit steep for what you get. Will 100% be back soon to try more of the menu and highly recommend making the trek over here!

The staff were super friendly too and gave us some awesome recommendations, which definitely helped because there were so many things I wanted to try. I ordered the Harissa Shakshuka, it came with roasted peppers, onions, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, goat cheese, and two poached eggs, served with sourdough toast. When it came out, the presentation immediately caught my attention. The two poached eggs were sitting right on top of this beautiful, rich sauce, with the goat cheese scattered throughout. Once I cut into the eggs and that runny yolk mixed into everything underneath... wow. The flavor was outstanding. The tomatoes and roasted peppers gave the dish a deep, slightly sweet and savory base, while the harissa added a warm, smoky heat that slowly built with each bite. The garbanzo beans were soft and tender, adding this really nice texture. And the sourdough toast was perfect for this. I could scoop up the sauce, egg yolk, beans, and peppers all in one bite. That's when the dish really came together. This was a seriously delicious breakfast. Every bite had something going on, and I'd definitely order it again.

They have some big circular tables to accommodate larger groups. Fully wheelchair accessible. Good cocktails - my noble bourbon boozers will like the Brown Dog Old Fashioned. Cheese curds are supposedly good, so I was told, if you are into that sort of thing. Eggs Benedict is solid.

The location is great and easy to get to, which is one of the reasons we decided to stop in. The atmosphere was fun, and the restaurant was very quiet that evening. Since it wasn't busy, we expected quick service and were looking forward to relaxing for a bit. Unfortunately, that's where our experience fell short. We were seated right away but then waited about 15 to 20 minutes without ever being greeted by a server. Multiple servers and bussers walked past our table several times, yet no one acknowledged us or even let us know someone would be with us shortly. It honestly felt like our table had been forgotten. Because we were never able to place an order, I can't comment on the food or drinks. We ended up leaving before anyone came to our table. The wait time itself wasn't the issue. We were seated immediately. The problem was waiting 15 to 20 minutes after being seated without receiving any service, especially at a nearly empty restaurant. As for value, it's hard to judge since we never had the opportunity to order anything. However, spending nearly 20 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge us made the experience feel like a waste of time. It's unfortunate because the atmosphere and location were great, but the lack of service completely overshadowed the rest of the experience. I hope this was just an off night, but based on this visit, I can't recommend it.

He's been certified for 3 yrs* Upon walking up to the establishment with my fiancé and service dog, there was an officer there wearing a badge. He acknowledged how cute Rory (my service dog) was and stated he was a service dog. He then asked if he could pet Rory, I said yes that would be fine with me. Another gentleman, not sure what role he played at the establishment, approached us while the officer was still there. He began questioning me and Rory's legitimacy on being a service dog since he just saw the officer pet him. I informed him that the officer had asked and I said it was ok. He then said "we have a lot of people that pretend their dogs are service dogs to get them in"; I replied I have his badge and the dog trainer's(dog training elite) number to contact her. He allowed us in. Less than a minute latter when my finance, Rory, and I were walking to a table, the bouncer/manager re-approaches us and says we have to leave predicated on the notion I let an officer say hi and pet Rory after the officer had asked. The law allows establishments to only ask 2 questions when it comes to service animals; 1) Is it a legitimate service animal? 2) What service is the service animal providing? I was only asked #1, if Rory was a service animal, I am allowed to give my service animal a break on occasion and I decide who can and can't say hi to him.
