Best movie theater in Charlottesville! Staff is great and the experience is always positive. Definitely try to go for the reclining chairs in the front if you can!

Went on a Tuesday and tickets were $7! Ordered the chicken sandwich and popcorn with butter. Everything was very good!

I absolutely love going here! They have great events -- the Movie Parties and Rowdy Showings are so much fun!! -- and the reclining seats are the best! I saw some complaints about the food being overpriced... um, have you been to a movie theater before? I don't think it's priced any different from anywhere else, and if I don't have to get up mid-movie to get a refill on my popcorn or drink... WORTH IT! This is definitely my go-to movie theater -- it's awesome!

Brian at the front bar helped us have such an incredible time when we came in. He made delicious drinks and was very knowledgeable on his bar. Will definitely be coming back. ?

Update: 5 years later this is still the best managed, run and cleanest place to view a movie in Charlottesville.This is now my preferred place to see a movie.There's no talking, no cell phones and its enforced.The picture and sound quality are top notch. The seats are incredibly comfortable.They have great food and good choices all brought to your seat.The salted caramel shakes are the best I've had anywhere.I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves seeing movies on the big screen its unlike any place you've seen a movie before.

We love going to Alamo for old movies especially when they have movie parties. A really fun place and the food is good too.

We decided to have a lunch and movie date. The service is really good and their popcorn is absolutely delicious. We have another date planned for the Dune II release and I'm looking forward to it!

Always a joy, no matter the movie.

Setting is great. Chairs are very comfy, drinks are wonderful, food - not so much. Overpriced and overcooked. Maybe next time just popcorn???
Great place to see a movie. They also show old films on the big screen. Great food also.

The only theater we go to now! The food & drink selections are great - fantastic popcorn (seriously though, way better than other theaters)! The wings are bangin’ and the recliner chairs are a necessity for my early 30’s ADHD fidgeting and lower back pain. We love coming to the Alamo - service is quick and easy, prices are comparable to other theaters and fast-dining locations.Pro tip: their happy hour specials are awesome - and you can carry them into the theater!

We gave this theatre three tries, and in all 3 they failed to deliver our full order. To be completely honest, the only reason we came back the third time is because the manager gave us free tickets.Tonight we asked for popcorn to come out first, then two meals. Meals came before the popcorn and popcorn was cold. “Unlimited refills” doesn’t matter bc no server checked on our table unless we flagged them down. Which we did to order cookies and milk with about 1 hour left in the movie. Milk came 15 minutes later and cookies never came. Server came with the bill, I told him the cookies never came and to take it off. He still charged for the milk.To be honest, this is the least they’ve messed up our experience of our three visits. Rough.
