for some reason 'garden' is a better booze affiliate in my experience
You mean the name implying it has to do with beer? It's the "draft" in "Drafthouse" that makes me think it so.
Well Central Texas is known for it's German heritage (Alamo Drafthouse is headquartered in Austin), so I can see why they chose that name (fun fact: The oldest operating business in Texas is a German Beer Garden in Downtown Austin).
all i know is ive gone to a lot of "gardens" where i left fucked up
Wish they'd expand overseas to London. I've had enough of being the cinema police to morons who can't turn their phone off for two hours.
Enjoy. As a Texas native I love it so much. I've been out of cities/out of state the past 6 months and outside of friends and family it's the next thing I miss. The food is delicious, and not having to deal with kids (unless past a certain age and accompanied by an adult), loud talkers, or phone surfing assholes was the best.
I don't go to movies as much by myself but if I had a local alamo drafthouse, I'd be going by myself more often just for the food and beer.

Actually, it was supposed to open in 2015. This has been in the works since 2013.
My opinion of them has waned slightly in the past few years now as their food/beverage quality has steadily decreased to a pretty embarrassing level. Regardless, I still attend showings where managers throw out awful teenagers and shitheads on their phones so it's hard to be too angry at them. I love the fact that their strict policies have begun to leak out into other similar chains.
You need to sign up for their loyalty rewards program (free) and watch 50+ movies at the theater in a year. Not sure how it works with the theater season pass, probably a monthly cap on the movies counted towards the loyalty program or maybe they just count money spent at the concession stand.
Alamo Drafthouse is amazing. The only place I'll go to check out a movie at this point (outside of the Drive-In). They're all about making the experience what it should be so you don't have to listen to people talking over the movie, kids screaming, people checking their phones, etc... Los Angeles' movie-goers are going to love it.
