Had a great time shopping at ToyJoy across the street before enjoying the show at the Violet Crown. Loved the nouveau-retro-hipster feel of the Violet Crown. Our experience with staff was excellent, from concierge to admin who cleared up confusion with a gift card, to the cashier who sold us our drinks, all were friendly, polite, and helpful. Parking was initially confusing because we had the wrong garage, but once we found the right one, it was easy and free.

Really hard to find the parking -- the online map helped some. The atmosphere is trendy yet scattered. Ticket price could be worse (seeing as they comp. the parking) but overall not too bad!!

After reading some of the reviews, I was afraid that the service would be really bad, but I did not find that to be the case, whether I got lucky, or whether other reviewers got unlucky. Started my evening at the restaurant and had an extrememly cool, helpful, friendly waiter. Ordered a bourbon drink called Bonnie and Clyde that was delightful and the Mediterranean salad which was really good. It had two types of falafel including a standard chick pea one and a beet based one that was really really good!! Then got popcorn ... read more

My wife and I are probably not this business demographic, but we love this place. First, I love the online ordering and being able to chose your seat (and we have been able to sit in the super cosy recliners on several occasions.) I really like their food and beer selection. I also like how you don't have to print a receipt, just show them your phone with confirmation. I really like that there are not waiters moving around in the theatres, either. Good movies, great drink selection, free validated parking, good food. Haven... read more

This is how I feel Austin is supposed to feel like. I can't explain it. I am an Austinite. Great movie selections & their menu is fabulous. Staff is chill, real and knowledgeable.

Found this little gem while vacationing in Austin on a rainy day. Loved the experience! The food was great, the drinks were fantastic and service was 5 star! The cocktail menu is super fun- can you really pass up a Ginger Rogers Rabbit, a Trainwreck or a Pineapple Express Margarita? And that popcorn, its a thing of amazement. So delicious. The organization of the place was a bit odd and confusing: when we walked in, we were not sure where to go or how to order (you can go directly to the bar to order food, get your tick... read more

Will forever be my favorite movie theatre. Love how causal and unique it is. I would highly recommend it

Great, great, great! The entire experience is superb, from the seats and sound to the food and drinks to the parking to everything. Nothing else you need to know on this one. It's top notch. Blows away Alamo.

Gosh, this place is so great. I wish they had one of these in every state. One of my two favorite movie places in town. They have sort of a nightclub (almost) vibe, and have a patio upstairs/outside where it is nice to take your glass of wine, look out over the balcony, and down the street at the twinkling lighted trees and Austin nightscape. Good food at the restaurant (popcorn with real butter as well), good bar with drinks. Movies are only of the independent variety; rarely mainstream. Only complaints (minor)--p... read more
