Let's of great art house movies here, probably more than anyone in town except maybe Alamo Lamar
Ah Friday, you're finally here. Let's see, I can buckle down and end the week strong working...or I can join my Sr. friends for a nice quiet afternoon watching the latest indy film at the Regal. Work rarely wins this battle.
What I like:
* The crowd
* clean bathrooms
* open sitting always
What I dislike:
* that the Regal isn't closer to my house in lakeway. Even so, the drive is often worth it for the rare and diverse films
The person taking the tickets was nice but the person who took our order was in a bad mood and rude.. When he gave us the hotdog he tossed it (not gently) on the counter.. We just privately laughed and made a joke to ourselves that he thought the hotdog was a football at the end zone. When I went back to order something else, there he was again annoyed with a bad attitude.. I didn't made a fuss about it because we were just going to enjoy our evening.. Everyone has bad day's but if your in customer service don't taking out on the customers..
Love this theater and hate that its days are numbered. Depending on the movie and time of day it can be bustling or quiet. I appreciate the range of films shown.
Great place with older clientele. They can be chatty but charming with their comments. Artsier movies.
Great intimate feel to this moviehouse a bistro like interior greets you as thou enter with tables to sit and talk instead puff trooping into a dark room. Indie films for the most part on the menu and its a great peace to watch them. Check it out. Our needs to remain there.
If you must go somewhere besides the Alamo (though I don't know why you would), give the Arbor a try. Better selection of films than your standard theater.
I hope that Regal Arbor is never again the only choice. The 7:20 PM movie didn't start rolling until 7:38 PM, and loud, shouting ads were intermixed with trailers all that time.
This theater is comfortable, but i wish it would update itself. Had to move because my first seat was lacking an arm rest, drink holder. This theater is one of the few that plays independent movies, so there's that. Their workers are nice and efficient. (I added a star because the theater reached out when they didn't have to do so. They pay attention to details. Cool).
Not all the theaters have lounge chairs yet and you never know which one you're getting. That said, the ones that do have recliners are really nice.
Seat cushions were old, thin, and uncomfortable. Sound system was awful. Staff was friendly.
It was ok the sound system wasn't that great it was an older theatre and quite pricey.
My favorite cinema in all of Austin! Never too crowded, great films, across the street from Trader Joe's. What more could you want? Sad thing is that the lease is up next year, and they're thinking about demolitioning the place to make room for more condos in its place...like we need anymore. UGH
DO NOT GO IN HUNGRY. you will leave poor. They think way to highly of their popcorn. Which isn't that good.
Seats need an upgrade.
You now have to buy your ticket at the concession counter. Good for sav8 them money, I suppose, but it sometimes forces people who can't afford the expensive concessions to wait in a long line. Also, I saw a trailer here Is seen elsewhere and it looked dimmer and washed out. Old projection bulb?
This theater is a bit older with relatively older style of seating (not stadium) but they play a lot of great independent films. I appreciate that Regal didn't give up on this location even though they have a newer theater just a mile away.
Wife and love this place. Our favorite movie house in Austin.
Old school feel...you purchase tickets from concession stand, seats are like throwback. Small cozy clean
Yes it's one of the few places in Austin that shows indie flicks but it's a very old theater. The screen, projector, and sound system is extremely outdated. The seats are showing their age and the arrangement allows one to see the back of people's heads too easily. It's a shame a city like Austin doesn't have a better experience for indie films. I really wish they would renovate. I only come here if no one else close by is showing a particular film.
A great well-cared for older theater offering the more unique, non-mainstream and creative films. Wish I lived closer to come more often.
I was at an AARP movie, the movie itself was great, but it was really warm in the theater.
This theater show movies you cannot find anywhere else in Austin.
Good art-house movies, not mainstream Hollywood. Nice facility.
