    I'd originally purchased just a single ticket, but my plans changed and I wanted a different seat…read more I gave them a call the day before the movie and Daniel was so kind as to assist me in changing my seat for the movie. When I arrived, the person at the front still saw my old ticket in the system but found an envelope with my new ticket--yay! The theater itself was very well kept and clean and everyone we spoke with was so warm and friendly. The truffle popcorn was good but quite messy to eat with the seasoning getting all over, so the napkins are definitely a must. All in all, this was a fantastic experience and I thoroughly enjoyed watching Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings on the big screen!

At first I didn't think it would be a big deal, but it's so clunky and it takes away from the old school experience. Everyone shining their phones to try and order food - and then they hit you with 18% auto grat which is annoying, and then try to ask for a bigger tip. In fact, if you don't go into your app to select no additional tip they automatically add a bit more. I kinda did like the mozzarella sticks and popcorn, but not the salad. Picture quality and sound was good. I would return but not in a rush. I think I prefer Evo & Cinemark.

    What an amazing show! This Tony-award winning musical was filled with great comical timing,…read morebeautiful choreography, wonderful performances, and more Dad jokes than you can count. A feast for your eyes and ears, directed by Jack O'Brien, who directed Hairspray. I'm still thinking about the stage design, and how it blended with the choreography. Joe did they balance on the wooden slats?! Lulu (Miki Abraham) stole the show. "Independently Owned" was my favorite song, and she was great in every way. Broadway In Austin made ticket pickup easy. Also they've removed the clear bag policy. Bass Concert Hall now offers additional restrooms past the foyer on four floors in a separate building; there were two people in front of me in line and zero behind me. The pedestrian traffic was well organized by the ushers and helpful volunteers. Her your corns up Austin, and take my kernels of wisdom to motivate you to see the Broadway show of the year.

Clue was comedic from beginning to end - like actually funny. The writing was witty and smart, the entire cast completely talented from head to toe. I love this venue because its clean, the aisles are spacious, the seats aren't as compact, and the staff members are so friendly and welcoming to the guests. 11/10, I would recommend seeing Clue to all my friends and to those I don't even know.

We laughed, we clapped, we sang, we booed, "we" as in the whole audience participated in this interactive show. The kids that decided to sit on the floor in the front that night made the show so entertaining with their cheering and chanting... oh their parents taught them well! Legends of the West Dinner Theater is located just north of New Braunfels and just a few miles west of IH 35 off FM 306 & Hoffman Lane, take a left on Rolling Oaks Dr., pass by a few residences all the way down to the end of the road... then you drive right into Triple R Ranch. You pass by the rodeo arena, the stables, the plantation house, to the airport runway for parking. Once parked, you will be directed to the former airplane hanger which has since turned into a dinner theater. We checked in at the door, then stopped by the bar (as of now only beer and wine available), then proceeded to find a table to sit at (seating for 200!). We were told the brave ones sit in the front, so we did! I definitely suggest sitting as close as you can... just do it! Our meal was catered by Harmon's BBQ out of Cibolo which included brisket, chicken, beans, potato salad, all the fixins and iced tea. We walked through the line, then back to or table. The acoustic cowboy sang to us for about an hour for their preshow entertainment. This evening started out beautifully. The show we saw was their seasonal Halloween Spectacular which included a gang of Vampire Old West Outlaws which included my great uncle, the infamous John Wesley Hardin! One of the song and dance numbers was Michael Jackson's Thriller which started the show... it was very well done! Bravo! Ladies were called up to help play a game. Children were called up to become a part of the Vampire gang which also included story telling. The cast really gets the crowd involved in the story line.. we loved every minute of our time at the theater. The producer and main actors have all arrived in the Texas Hill Country after spending many years in California, and around the world, in the entertainment industry. Their long time friendship brought them back together to build this amazing adventure for all of us. We spent some time with them after the show and all are amazing people. Hubby and I are looking forward to seeing their annual Christmas show in Dec as well as their year around shows and events in the future... Hollywood comes to New Braunfels! *Note* my phone died big time, wouldn't charge and wouldn't turn on, so my apologies for the lack on photos at this event.

I asked to have another sandwich made with hot French fries, and the second sandwich came back the same exact way as the first. And cold French fries again! This last time I went to the movies. They couldn't find my account where I've been collecting points for several years. Something happened between June 2 when I went to the movies and they found my account with my phone number. Come June 9th, just a week later, my phone number doesn't bring up my account. My email doesn't either. Completely gone. When I got home from the movies I sent an email, asking what happened. They said they can't see anything. I ended up creating a new account. But I lost all my reward points. Now I'm starting from scratch. I did send another email asking if they can search for my original account, or what happened with the points I accumulated over 4 years. Got nothing back and now it's the weekend, so maybe I'll hear back this next week. Who knows. Maybe we are seeing a fall in movie theaters. I have now started ordering at the bar because the food has been incorrect. At least I can talk and explain the food to someone without whispering in the theater, and disturbing others watching the previews or the movie. I ordered The lemon pepper wings with chips and salsa. The chips were stale. Which whatever. I really just wanted the wings, which were great. Nice strong lemon flavor, and the pepper was perfect. Wings are good. French fries are cold, and chips are stale. Mojito was great. My experience just gets worse. There is another movie theater near where I work. So maybe I'll just switch theaters.

    Simply not good. Its literally two "actors" walking around a room full of tables talking as loud…read moreas they can. They don't wear microphones or have speakers so dependent on where they are standing at the time in the room, you can or cannot hear them. The "clues" made no sense and you really have no idea what's going on or what part of the "show" you are in. You also have no idea what to do with any of it. The actors tried their best but you could barely hear them. Food was decent though - give them that. Overall not worth the money and the experience was dull. Better off just going to a comedy club or to a movie theatre that serves food. At the beginning of the night they give you a sheet of paper and you are supposed to walk around to other tables asking random folks who are there like you for the experience random "questions" to see if you can figure out "clues" as to who in the crowd might be the hidden actor (killer). So if you have family members or members of your party that do not want to do something like this, then you are better off going elsewhere. They also randomly pick folks from the tables to do random silly stuff - like "re-enact" the death scene at the beginning of the experience. We left at the second "break" and went across the street to Stubbs to enjoy the live music. The show was at Hotel Indigo.

The presentation of the facts of the murder was disjointed and the whole evening just seemed choppy and incoherent. The "big reveal" of the murderer at the end was just loosely based on all of the "evidence" we were given to review. Expected the whole "solving of the mystery" to be a bit more clever. Don't get me started on the food......terrible

Scoped out the venue which was bigger than anticipated and really enjoyed the fish tank TVs. So fun! The show was entertaining and up to date with references all relevant to the current times.

They do a mix of comedy, magic, music , and just overall great entrainment for their shows. It's mainly themed around local and world politics + the LGBTQ community. Tickets are approximately $40. The show is about 90 minutes, with a 5 min break halfway through. They have a bar on site, and a taqueria that's connected to their building as well. Highly recommend the taqueria, it's authentic and delicious! Absolutely recommend for locals, visitors, and those who just want to enjoy a great show in the best city in the country!

    I'm a big fan of IPIC Theaters, it's a great little theater in The Domain and one I really enjoy…read more It's feels very inclusive to me because of its wheelchair accessibility. It's always clean and the people working there are so nice and it makes a difference in the whole vibe of the place. They have a good drinks menu and food too. The recliners are comfortable, but they do run a little short. My feet hang off the end and I'm only 5'7". Thankfully they offer cozy blankets, which I love and definitely helps. Service is easy and convenient. You can push a button if you need something or just order from your phone without missing anything. The lobby is also a nice place to hang out before or after your movie with a full bar, a pool table, and plenty of family games to play. Prices are pretty comparable to other theaters of the kind, so it doesn't feel like a big splurge. Just a really enjoyable spot for a movie night.

By the time I found my seat, the lights went out right as I settled in. From there, it was much harder than it needed to be to just order a cup of coffee. Three stars is for the design. I could not use my phone to scan the QR code to order the coffee because it was dark. I pressed the button and waited forever for someone to come and take my order. Then my friend arrived and went through the exact same thing. Even when I did finally get a menu on my phone, it was overcomplicated to order. Seems like something that should be easy by now. Considering the number of other theaters that do in seat ordering. I'd go back and perhaps have a better time now that I know the lay the land.

While they…read morestarted with pencil and paper ordering, they have now upgraded to scanning a QR code to order online through the menu. Very .easy and convenient! Not only do they have good food and "bottomless" popcorn bowls, they also sponsor fun preview events to their special Victory fan club members, of which I am one. Last night they previewed the movie "Power Ballad," an excellent film starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas. Often they have special guests to introduce the movie and offer fun contests. At the Power Ballad preview, they awarded a guitar to the first person to jump up and name the director (John Carney). I didn't win. The theater is definitely geared to film buffs and not the normal blockbuster movie goer, with posters from current and classic films decorating the walls. They even have the scary twins from "The Shining" in one of the hallways. You won't see that at any multiplex movie theater!

Teenage attendees were also engaged so it felt family friendly. Event Space was plentiful...chips/queso and salsa were good. Servers were good but it took time to get drinks,etc. Prices for drinks were on average and they offered theme cocktails. Fair:. Sound... space was the back area of a large, fun restaurant with no physical separation so our event was interrupted by noise and choruses of 'happy birthday' more than once. The actors tried to compensate for that by scattering themselves around the room and repeating clues/information. Dinner of southern chicken was plentiful... chicken was a little dry but rice was good. Veggies were slightly overcooked but we did not expect great food at the experience. Con: There was a lot of data to process and 2 hours start-finish was simply not enough time. The QR codes to access for the clues was convenient and there was a lot of data to comb through. The main issue was at the end we were told to access the last set of clues and were also told at that time that the QR code was also listed there for submission of our final answer. After reading and processing the final clues we were pulling up the sheet to make our guess, when the actors came out and resolved the mystery for us. Those at my table all agreed they should have given us a 3 minute warning to submit our answers and felt a little left behind as we didn't get to submit our guess and one of our people had the correct answer. Three stars because the whole point of it is to get to solve a mystery and there needs to be time for that. If they adjust a few little things, this will be a great time for all.
