I had a great time at Violet Crown this weekend! Elf is such a fun movie, and the pizza and popcorn was super tasty. It was fun meeting fellow YES members and seeing a film together in a really nice venue. Thanks to Destiny and Violet Crown for putting together a delightful event! read more

I was originally introduced to this place thanks to a yelp elite event and decided to make a purchase here on my own. I just had to post about the food experience I had. The Brussels sprouts at violet crown cinema were absolutely to die for! They were crispy on the outside and slightly crunchy on the inside while bursting full of amazing flavor and dressings. I honestly give it a 10/10, it couldn't have came out better. I also want to mention they had a drink called the red delicious, all puns aside, it was incredibly delicious indeed! Haha The staff was super friendly and I had a great time. I can't wait to go back for more! read more

What a theater! Visiting SF (or live here) and want a fun night? Family outing? Date night? An enjoyable night to yourself? You can stop by for a drink, food, a movie or all three. The food is not to be missed here. I was so surprised by how good it was! Had the pizza and it was delicious, especially loved the sausage and green chili. Seriously, people come here just to eat. Check out the menu and drink list. And you can take anything into the theater with you. There's a huge bar with lots of craft beer and also your regular sodas and yummy popcorn and candy. The seats are comfortable in the theaters (super wide) and there's plenty of seating for eating and the bar too downstairs. The manager, Gabe, is so kind and welcoming and knowledgeable. The staff truly love movies. The theater hosts events regularly and shows indie films and blockbusters. The sound and the screen for the movie were top notch. You'll love this local business in one of the best parts of SF, the Railyard district. read more

They offer so much to drink from beer to wine and normal fountain drinks. The popcorn was delicious and the theater itself was very comfortable. read more

This place has comeback. After the closures it seemed to struggle in finding it's footing. Like many of us. The last handful of experiences I've had here have been exceptional, mostly due to the level of service I received. I must mention one staff member particularly, Gabe. He takes care of customers like they're honored guests. In small things and big he owns our concerns like they're his. What he provides is not customer service. It's human service, community service, service to the soul. I watched him carefully take care of guest after guest as I waited for a cup of coffee to brew. And, I took note that & how other staff members followed his lead. Violet Crown, I hope you take note too. This guy is a blessing to your business. May you always grow in the direction of greatness, Gabe. I trust The Cosmos will reward you beyond your imagination. Thank you for your care. And if you haven't seen "A Complete Unknown" yet, it's more than worth your time. If there's any part of yourself you've lost or forgotten, it may be returned to you in the experiencing of this film. read more

This is a higher end movie theater located in the rail yard district. They offer 4 hour parking validation in the garage across the street, which is nice. There is a concession stand with your typical popcorn and candy items as well as another counter you can order hot food, beer and wine. I loved how ample the seating was throughout the building and patio seating as well. For food, I had the Ava dog which can be customized so make sure you mention which toppings you want, otherwise it'll come out plain. I assumed everything would be included like on the Chicago dog but was mistaken. It comes with fries and is an extra $2 for the "crown" version which has truffle oil and Parmesan. These were really tasty. The pretzel was a lot larger than expected and nice and soft. I liked the queso and mustard it came with. Matinee tickets are $10 each and evening shows are $15 with a $1 service fee if you purchase online. This is a nice option since you can pick your seat ahead of time. The seats do not recline but they are a comfy faux leather style. However, some of the chairs are super squeaky which was a little distracting if you happen to be by someone who fidgets a lot. read more

Good service, and really good food. The venue seemed to play a range of movies, and the theater was sizable and comfortable. I enjoyed stopping through! read more

Theres a worker named Tyler that works at the ticket checker booth, such an amazing dude and made the fantastic four experience amazing. Glad I started the new marvel phase with this worker ! read more

94 degrees outside, drove two and a half hours to sit in a cold theater and the air conditioning was broken. Over 90 degrees in the theater and sweated while sitting still in a t shirt and shorts. FOR $18 A TICKET!! Absolutely awful. If your air conditioning is broken when it's that hot outside then you should cancel the movie and refund money. Temps inside were unsafe. This place must be run by greedy fools. read more

Love this theater- they show great selection of movies. It is easy to book and pick your comfortable seat. They have really great food and drinks selection to eat in their main room or in the theater. And the service staff is friendly and fun- especially Jen- she knows her beers! read more

I left my very expensive Chanel sunglasses on the counter and Gabe found them. He is a very honest and dedicated employee. I am extremely grateful for his honesty. read more

The best place for cinema in Santa Fe. Wonderful concessions with good food, beer and ciders. A guy at the register suggested the chicken tenders, and I tried them. They come with a great dippng sauce, and they were delicious! I might add that it is not easy finding good fried chicken in Santa Fe. And my husband loves their frito pie. It's nice going to the movies with just one stop for dinner and a show. read more

Absolutely the best movie theater in town. Craft beer, great food, friendly staff. It's hard to go anywhere else anymore. Love this place.

I really like this theater. Great seats, validation for parking, and it even has a bar! What more can you ask for in a theater? I've even seen people bring their dogs to the movies (it's Santa Fe, after all) and they don't seem to mind. (And personally, I like animals more than most people, so it's fine with me.) read more

Great service, great prices, good size for concessions. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Seats were comfy and loved the ability to drink in the theatre. Wish there was more of these around. read more

Please absolutely go elsewhere, me and my friend were out enjoying an evening, while watching the movie my friends watch went off and the woman behind us thought it was okay to kick, yes kick my friend and her seat. I immediately told management and nothing was done. When we were leaving same woman said something to us, as an American with free speech I said something right back, but guess who side the manager took? She cried wolf and everyone came to her rescue when she was the one that kicked and verbally assaulted us. Management quickly went to her rescue and offered a refund while we were told to leave. Like I said please go elsewhere where you business and bodily safety will be taken seriously. read more

If you want to get treated poorly when you order a pizza and two ciders with your girlfriend. Come to Violet Crown Cinema. My bestie and I were running late for the movie, finally found their parking lot and approached the counter laughing as we ran in. Upon ordering the young man said, " I don't feel comfortable serving you alcohol. My girl and I were astonished and thought the young man was kidding. He wasn't. He didnt give me a reason,when I asked the manager, she said I can't do anything if "the young man doesn't feel comfortable serving you!? than why is she the manager. I have NEVER being treated in such a manner and will be emailing their corporation tonight! The reason we came was to enjoy a scary movie,pizza and a cider with my girl. what a disappointment! Maybe because I am mexican and my girl is native American! but wait the guy was also mexican american. won't be going back, I was treated so poorly! good night. read more

The lobby was so loud that I was constantly distracted from my movie. It didn't help that the doors needed repair and would bang! When anyone came and left! So frustrating! This might not be a problem on an off day but I'm going to avoid weekends from now on. The parking garage is another issue! It takes for! Ever! To leave that thing since they took a live person away from the gate. Evidently no one read that you pay at the kiosk before you get to your car! Such a dumb system Santa Fe. read more

Poor customer service and substandard equipment. Went to see a movie while visiting. Only one showing for the day. Movie wouldn't play. Waited 35 minutes for them to try to fix it. Then still wouldn't play. It was their fault but they refused to give a full refund that included the processing fee. The least they could have done is offer a coupon for a free popcorn or something. It was their fault that we could not watch the movie. But they still did not care. Their policy is not very customer oriented when you're out money for something that was their fault. read more

First time ever going here. Trevor, one of the ushers, was so helpful and patient when I lost my phone. It fell out of my pocket during the movie. read more

Sadly, tonight we had very bad service and they were out of many items for dinner. The cashier was very rude as was the woman we picked up the food from. Sorry to see the service be so bad as that hasn't been a problem in the past. And never having been out of at least three main dinner choices. read more

The sound quality in this theatre is terrible. The dialogue is always muffled and impossible to hear regardless of which part of this theater you are in (and my hearing is perfect). You would think someone would have addressed this problem by now! It's been this way for too long! read more

Not customer friendly. Too expensive. Would not give a little more salad dressing. Salads not worth the money.

This is a really neat theater! Located in the rail yard arts district. Tickets are decently priced and they were showing all the new movies. They also serve food. The theater itself is also nice. The chairs are really big and comfortable. You choose your seats upon buying your tickets either online or in person. (We opted to buying in person to avoid the online fee). Also, if you park in the rail yard parking garage they will validate your garage ticket so you don't have to pay for parking. read more

Sadly, this place has gone downhill to the bottom. It used to be well managed and staffed, but now on a Friday night with a big headliner at the music festival outside the place had about 4 staff. The staff were overworked and totally uninterested in service. Two of the 4 cash registers were operational. The staff were moving like sloths. The place is filthy with food on the floor. Sad to see such a great location and unique venue go to hell. read more

This place is incredible! The food is to die for! My husband had the frito pie and raved about it. He is a huge chile critic and loved the red chile. It was a true New Mexican frito pie. For me, it's really hard to eat out because of my dietary needs and the manager said they have a ton of options and had the kitchen whip up a delicious plain chicken breast with salt and pepper with mustard on the side for me. It was delicious! They also had different complimentary infused waters. One was cucumber and the other was lime and orange. Yum! My husband also opted for popcorn and a gourmet pickle. The prices were fantastic too! The only two slight issues were parking and seating. Parking is a bit of a bear, especially for those with handicap needs due to the urban setting. Also, the online system for picking seats ha some issues. It doesn't show the stairs like it indicates, which can cause some issues. Also, the seats that show as wheelchair are also full seats, which weren't indicated online. We ended up having to walk down the stairs to our seats with my walker, which was quite painful, because the handicapped seats were taken by able bodied people by the time we figured this out. read more

I don't understand movie theaters that make you pay for parking or don't have an option for validation. Otherwise, a regular/decent theater option. read more

They messed up. The wrong movie was playing in the theater. We asked to talk to a manager and we were returned with strange looks and defensive attitudes. Mistakes happen and we weren't mad about the accident but the employees weren't kind or helpful. We did get a comp, but I'm not really wanting to go back. Poor customer service. read more

Use to love this place,but there is these new guys who are completely awful they make my group of 6 feel so uncomfortable every time and there extremely rude and close the kitchen on us last night at 8:30! We have been coming here for 4 years now and that has never happened, also it's super dirty no one ever cleans anymore like they use to and sadly I think it's time for us to look for a different movie theater from now on read more

I loved this movie theater in Santa Fe! It seems brand new, the tickets were cheap (being from LA, $12.50/ticket is a STEAL!) and their bar/restaurant area is super cute. I wish we had one of these in LA... read more

Well it's been a few years since my last review. They made changes to the bathrooms and no more dryers disturbing your movie. This place is so clean and well maintained. GREAT food and drinks and courteous staff. This has an inviting atmosphere and is a great place to grab a bite, have a drink and watch a movie with friends. They even have cauliflower crust options for their pizzas! The seats are comfortable, sound quality is on point. Great movie experience! Highly recommend. read more
