Alamo is one of our favorite date night adventures! We love everything about it. The atmosphere is so fun; think retro/80's/Stranger Things! The theatres are cozy, clean, and spacious. The service has always been great as well - I am sure it's got to be difficult serving/communicating with customers in the dark but it's always a good experience! I am also impressed with the prices and food. These days everything is a bit much, but the prices of the tickets, drinks, and food always seem appropriate! The food is also always fresh/tasty. My go-to is their California Cab for a drink, and Buffalo Chicken Pizza. We always start with the Truffle Parmesan popcorn - SO good! A few other dishes I have tried: fried pickle spears, Buffalo Cauliflower, House Salad, Chicken Tenders, and Chicken Sandwich. The only dish I did not love was the Chicken Tenders but that could have just been a bad day - way too breaded. Either way, I would give the food 9/10 stars for a movie theatre! Another thing I love is that if you just so happen to not be able to make it to your movie, you can get a refund on the tickets or use the credit for a different movie. We love the Alamo!

First time visiting, and it was an overall great experience. The seats recline (feet only), no one is talking or on their phone, you can order (pretty good) food along with beverages (including adult ones), and the armrests are pretty wide. It was ~$150 for the tickets, burgers, drinks, and tip (18% included, with option to add more), so not a cheap option, but definitely worth it for the experience.

Theater is extremely popular for the Raleigh area and boasts an eclectic atmosphere. Multiple small theaters and every seat is a good view, reclining chairs, and tables w/ cup holders . Staff hustle to get food (which is really hot a delicious) but there are times where I've had to wait 20-30 min for my drink/food. The prices for the tickets are reasonable but food/beverages purchased is usually 30% more than what I'd pay elsewhere (personal pizza for $14, salads for $10-13, non alcoholic drinks (with refills) $5). There are promos , if you sign up, in order to receive free popcorn, etc. it still remains one of my favorite theaters for the ambiance, food (alcohol and non alcohol , GF options) and customer service .

Had an exceptional time with excellent food and service while watching the movie. I cannot wait to return!

A combination movie theater, taproom and video store, Raleigh's Alamo Drafthouse (aka Video Vortex) is a Cinemaphile's dream come true. Walk through the door, and you'll be transported back to 1992, where thousands of Blu-Rays and DVDs line the shelves in vintage VHS boxes, all available for rent at no charge (you get 2 movies free for a week). The bar boasts a great selection of North Carolina craft beers, as well as cocktails and a solid menu of pub grub (my Royale with Cheese burger was terrific). Food and beer can be enjoyed either in the lobby area or at your seat in the theater -- just fill out a menu card and flag down a server to post your order (preferably before the movie starts). I wish I could give this Alamo Drafthouse a higher rating, but the whole place felt a bit dated and run-down. It sort of lends to the retro atmosphere, but feels like a bit of a step down from a conventional multiplex. The seats are comfortable, but since these aren't stadium theaters, it's more than a little distracting when servers come through the rows delivering food and drink. The sound and picture quality were both great during my recent showing of Furiosa, however. I'd highly recommend Raleigh's Alamo Drafthouse for anyone looking to enjoy tasty food and a delicious craft beer during their movie. With a few renovations, this could easily become the best cinema in North Carolina.

I love coming to the Alamo Drafthouse, its so unique and offers a nostalgic experience. They have a wide selection of beefs on tap with is a great plus. The food has always been pretty good, always hot, and relatively fast. The servers are always attentive and helpful. I do wish the theaters were a bit more cared for sometimes in the smaller theaters the floor may be sticky or a surface table. The seat dont necessarily recline rather just kicks your feet up and the table doesnt move either. But overall the experience is still enjoyable, im comfortable, and love the atmosphere.

Nice place! My first time going to this theatre. When you enter there are shelves of movies probably about ever movie ever made. They are organized by title, producer or genre - if you can't find what you are looking for just ask the helpful people behind the desk. The movies are for rent (keep for a week at a time) We came to see "Spy Family "(it was really good) You can order food and drinks (full bar) from counter or from the comfort of your seat. The seats are big, individual, power and comfortable. We ordered food and drinks from our seat during the movie- the service was quick and the food was tasty. They add 18% already on your bill. The bathrooms were clean and gender neutral.

Prepare to embark on a sensory journey like no other at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Raleigh, where the magic of cinema meets the allure of delectable dining. Our recent visit to this cinematic gem left us in awe of the exceptional experience. Although we were only in the area for a week, we made sure to visit twice in a 5 day span. The star of the show here? Without a doubt, the Loaded Fries - a culinary masterpiece that exceeded all expectations and set a new standard for indulgence. A bowl of crispy fries adorned with a decadent medley of toppings creating a symphony of flavors that danced on our palates with every bite. The portion size was more than adequate, ensuring that every morsel was a delightful journey of taste and texture.
