What a great theatre that gives total indie, arthouse vibes. A small theatre with, I believe, four screens. I have been wanting to see a movie here for quite a while and finally got a chance to do so. The seats are surprisingly comfortable (even if you are in a regular seat and not one of the more luxurious, reclining styles). The bar and snack bar offer a variety of refreshments from popcorn and soda to chips/queso, pizza, candy, cocktails, mocktails, and more. Very friendly & helpful staff. The theatre was extremely clean... read more

Not very many places to see art house movies or limited release movies any more and since Alamo draft house is Sony this is being more the case. I haven't been here since before the pandemic and it's a little more run down since I remember it. The seats are fine and it's a downtown multiplex so my experience is that it will be very intimate. Sadly movie going hasn't recovered to pre covid levels and I was one of 9 people in probably a 60 seat theater. I just got a sparkling water and m&m's and the m&m's even though refrig... read more

Seats were squished and concessions were frustrating. They didnt have ice, long straws for big drinks, butter was hard because it had been unplugged, and food took a long time. Movie had started and then I had to run out and grab everyone's food while the buzzer was lighting up in the dark movie theater. Parking was expensive and everything at the theater was expensive too.

The staff was absolutely amazing here along with Sxsw staff. I felt a heat stroke coming on from the sun and they gave me some water and two sodas. The chairs were very comfortable. I saw two great movies. I got comfortable chairs for the third showing. I got to thank the good guy for helping me. We were moved to the theater because there was a question and answer.The director 's question and answer was very good.

Violet Crown is the neighborhood gem you never knew about. For the past couple of years I would walk by & make a metal note to check it out. Finally, while surfing movie theaters to watch Nosferatu, VC was an option. I loved several things about the ticketing process. One, the prices are reasonable. Two, the price includes parking in the attached garage for up to 4 hours. Three, all of the theaters allow you to choose a seat and four, no "convenience fees". The theater is small and only shows about a handful of movies, but i... read more

It's easy to support your local cinema when it delivers like the Violet Crown does. Good cocktails, great vibe. Validated parking!
