The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is an American cinema chain founded in 1997 in Austin, Texas, which is famous for serving dinner and drinks during the film, as well as its strict policy of requiring its audiences to maintain proper cinema-going etiquette. Sony Pictures Experiences acquired the chain in June 2024.
The cinema chain has multiple locations across the United States, including 14 in Texas. There are five locations in Virginia (Winchester; Charlottesville; Woodbridge; Crystal City; and Ashburn); four in New York (Yonkers; Brooklyn; Staten Island; and Lower Manhattan); and California (San Francisco; Los Angeles; Mountain View; and Santa Clara); three locations in Colorado (Denver; Westminster; and Littleton); and two locations in Missouri (St. Louis and Springfield). There are eight additional locations: Chicago; Washington, D.C.; La Vista; Raleigh; Boston; Naples; Woodbury; and Indianapolis.
A planned future location includes a theater in Grand Prairie, Texas.
