    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!

    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.

    Large theaters and comfortable chairs

    The Santa Fe railyards has a reliable and enjoyable theater with Violet crown Cinema. Staff was very helpful, good variety of movies and an enjoyable menu for many different pallets.

    I was hungry before a movie so I order a frito pie and elote ! Both a delicious the Frito pie was perfect for two people. I love the back area to longe and chill. The vibe is so cool here. 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.

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

    Violet Crown has both of these, and, if you sit in the front row of the theater, there are even ottomans to rest your feet on.

    This review is based on my experience trying to purchase tickets on line. I don't consider myself…read morecompletely technologically challenged but I had a nightmare of a time trying to purchase tickets to the Gay Men's Chorus for tomorrow evening. I wasn't sure if I already had an "account" with the theater so I tried opening one. Had to identify the pictures with motorcycles. I clicked on a wrong square by mistake. Then had to identify all the squares with things made by humans. So that got me to the log in screen. "That email is already associated with an account" Tried logging in with that email but didn't remember the password (it's been years). "Incorrect password. Create new password." Tried creating a new password. "Password must be at least 13 characters, an upper case and lower case and a number and a symbol. Typed it in. Kept getting incorrect password message. There was no little eyeball to click on to see what I was doing wrong. Closed the screen. Had to start over again. "Select the squares with images similar to the one at the top" I selected all the basketballs. Was that blurry squirrel holding a basketball or is he holding an acorn? It must be an acorn. Wrong. "Select the squares with images similar to the one at the top" Ah, the squirrels again. I got this. So I clicked on all the pictures of basketballs and squirrels with basketballs. "Choose a new password" I typed in very carefully, then realized the caps lock was on. WELL IF YOU TICKET PEOPLE HAD PUT A WAY FOR ME TO ACTUALLY SEE WHAT I WAS TYPING I WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE CAPS LOCK!!! For your security, an eight digit security code will be sent to the email address you supplied. No email. Went back to the previous screen. Clicked on send code again. Two emails arrived with codes. Entered the newest code. "Welcome to your account." Meanwhile other windows are popping up asking if I want to save this username and password. Clicked them away. Not now. So I navigated to the show I wanted to buy tickets for and finally got to where I could select our seats. But the thingy went round and round and round - no seat selection screen. Clicked on the back button. "Click here and we will assign the best available seats." Click. Click to view price. Click to continue. Click to view cart. Where is the pay now? Went back to previous screen to see if I missed something. Selected the tickets again. "Continue" Now I have selected 4 tickets instead of 2. Delete 2 tickets. Continue to cart. Two tickets plus fees. OK. Continue to check out. Enter credit card information. Did something wrong. Credit card info disappeared. Entered credit card again. (I'm sure there was another security code but I really can't remember as I was so angry and frustrated.) Continue. Order Confirmation: Showed customer number etc. Then this note: If you selected digital tickets as your delivery method (default option) you can access your tickets within minutes after purchasing them at (website) Log in with the same email and password you use for (the theater) account, or you can request a one time access code via email. From there you can share tickets with your guests and save the tickets to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. I DON'T HAVE APPLE WALLET OR GOOGLE WALLET! I went to the ticket website to access my tickets and viewed the tickets. They had all the info except a QR Code and this Note: Your refreshing QR code will display at 5:30 PM on Sat, June 20, 2026. DISPLAY WHERE? I AM NOT GOING TO TRY TO ACCESS MY ACCOUNT ON MY PHONE! I WILL BE AT DINNER AT 5:30 AND WON'T HAVE MY COMPUTER AND PRINTER. I printed EVERYTHING out (5 yes FIVE pages but are any of them valid tickets? I doubt it.) By this point I had cursed, swore, screamed and yelled so loud they could have heard me across town. It was more than an hour trying to buy two tickets. NEVER AGAIN. I tried calling the Box Office to make sure I could use my receipt and print outs, but of course they were closed for the holiday. I can go on other websites, select an item, place it in the cart, choose "Pay Now", enter my credit card and I'm DONE. No pictures of motorcycles, or basketballs, or squirrels holding basketballs that look like acorns, no security codes, no QR codes no Apple Wallets or Google Wallets. This whole process was ridiculous and a waste of time. And dare I say "PRETENTIOUS".

    My friend and I found the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts while exploring downtown Santa Fe…read moreand decided to stop in for a visit. Fortunately for us, the museum was running a free admission Friday! Because of this, the museum was very busy, especially with a large group of students roaming around. The museum has two floors with several galleries to explore. On the first floor, I was captivated by the murals and hanging panels portraying the seasons and migration of tribes and herds. A separate downstairs gallery featured modern art pieces, and there was one particularly sobering piece on sexual abuse perpetuated by the Catholic Church. These pieces were quite heavy as you could feel the grief expressed by the artists. Upstairs felt different, showcasing Native pride through their regalia, bolos, and handmade jewelry. The upstairs galleries felt more celebratory of Native culture, drawing attention to their accomplishments and craftsmanship. Overall, the museum offers an eye-opening experience, and I left with a greater appreciation for Native art, culture, and collective lived experience.
