Reviews for Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Charlottesville in Charlottesville, VA

This is my favorite theater to go when going to see a movie in the theater. If you want to talk through a movie or be on your... phone it is best to stay home than to come to this theater. That is one thing I enjoy about coming to the Alamo is that I know Iam going to get to watch a movie in a distraction free theater. The milkshakes are great, and don't forget to show up 20 minsearly before the movie as they play themed commercials and videos to get you excited for the movie you are about to watch. Read more

Living in Richmond, I?ve struggled to find a good movie theater - finally I?ve found it?in Charlottesville. By far the best... movie going experience I?ve had in a long time! The front few rows recline, they have a whole army of employees there to helpyou throughout the movie (refills, additional food, etc). The screen is huge, sound is immersive, and there is plenty of room soyou are not overly crowded. A great experience! Read more

I can?t imagine movies any other way! My family loves the Alamo. Reclining seats, unlimited popcorn (in a metal bowl!), great... screens and sound, even if you have to sit in the front row. As theaters reopened, they definitely struggled but now seem to bewell staffed. We?ve found the staff to be friendly and accommodating. Lots of food options, but remember this is a movie theaternot fine dining. I won?t speak to their food, as I tend to only get popcorn, wine or a milkshake. I?m not a fan of eating a mealin the dark. Again, I can?t imagine movies another way. Read more

This place is purely a good time! No better place to watch a movie and eat good food. I absolutely love the cocktail selection... as well as the loaded fries. The food is all around high quality. Be prepared to spend some money here if you want drinks foodand a movie. But also pay attention to the deals! They can save you lots! Read more

Absolutely stunning theater that knocks other theaters in the area out of the way. The tickets are priced nicely, the food... options are amazing (And extremely delicious). The staff are friendly as can be and very helpful. Don't go to any other theaterif you're looking for the best movie experience! Read more

Theaters are always clean and well maintained. Food is great (better than half the actual restaurants in town) and you can't... beat getting drinks delivered to your seat when watching a movie. The food and drinks on the specials menu is usually the bestoption. Only downside is it's all a bit pricy. Read more

Chairs are comfy and plenty of space to sit criss-crossed. The tables give you a place to set things and the popcorn refills are... dangerous, especially with alcohol. You will not stop eating because the popcorn is buttery and delicious. Service is lovely;the employees are good at their job and bending down to help guests focus on the movie must hurt their backs. Thank you for thewonderful experience! So much different than AMC. Read more

Now THIS is how you watch a movie! Recliners that include putting your legs and feet up, and DELICIOUS food! We ate the loaded... fries, which had plenty of bacon, cheese, and other flavorful toppings - the best loaded fries I ever ate. We also had tastymozzarella sticks. And the sodas tasted like they're supposed to - ginger ale and coca-cola. The staff is friendly too. Idefinitely recommend this theater. Read more
