My husband and I recently came here on our "date night" and were blown away by the ease in which we were able to see a top rated movie in the busiest and trendiest part of Austin. I love this theater for many reasons... ~ the ease in parking (if you use the adjacent parking garage they will validate for 4 hours and you are guaranteed a spot). ~ if a movie is playing here it is worth seeing. Whoever picks out the movies for this place deserves an award. I have never seen a bad movie here. ~ Beautiful view of downtown A... read more

This will be my first time at VCC when I go to see Dogcatcher, Cowcatcher, I mean Foxcatcher, Dec. 19th. I read all the reviews! I am really looking forward to this movie!

Violet Crown deserves credit for getting Alamo to do assigned seating. Remember the days when you had to queue up 30-45 minutes before a show, only to still run the risk of ending up on the front row? Countless emails did nothing until Violet Crown came along and showed them how to do it. I'm still a huge fan of Alamo, but I will always be slightly partial to Violet Crown for this reason. It's also just a really great place to see a movie. And if you're not in the mood for their food, you're in the middle of tons of res... read more

Classy yet unpretentious. I like going to the movies if there is one I want to see, but this place makes me love going to the movies. The seats are comfortable, they are selective about the films they show, and the food and drinks are reasonably priced (as far as movie theatre food goes) and pretty good. Love the overall vibe. If you can, buy the tickets online as the theatres are small and they remain busy even on weekdays and movies that have been out for weeks.

The food is not very good. I recommend going to dinner first and then seeing a movie here. Drinks are good, screen size is fine, but the seating is a bit awkward. The location is convenient and it's nice to have an alternative to the Alamo Drafthouse. Also, they validate parking - so don't forget your ticket in the car.

This is a super cute theatre, great date spot, and overall enjoyable experience. Parking is free with validation from buying a ticket (which is definitely nice when you consider that most restaurants make you pay for valet parking or force you to find your own spot. Downtown. On a Saturday night. Really?) Anyway, you walk up and order food/drinks at the register if you want anything (I had a forgetable, overpriced salad but the flatbreads and truffle fries are great), they give you a ticket, and then your food is served to y... read more

I've only been there twice, and I love it. The seats in the front row are extremely comfy, with foot rests. The food is good, and the theater is a nice size. Maybe it's a tad to expensive to go to regularly, but it makes a great place for a special outing. I definitely recommend the Violet Crown for anyone looking for a new cinema.

My favorite place to see a movie. I always book the front row those chairs are so comfy. Just be aware if you book a handicapped seat in the front row you could be asked to move if they need it. The free parking here is the big perk for me. I can leave my house 15 minutes before the movie starts knowing I have an assigned seat and a place to park. I usually never eat here the food is way to expensive and not really that good, although the brussell sprouts are quite tasty. I do find it quite irritating that you have to bus yo... read more

This is a place that used to intimidate me. What I used to think - People here gotta be cool (hipsters, film know it alls) - People gotta be $ to pay for parking somewhere too What I thought afterwards: This place is amazing! Parking validation for 4 hours. So after watching a movie, my fiancee and I decided to walk around downtown and pump the Austin downtown economy with our wallets =) There is a nice bar and lounge if you arrive early - or want to stay late. Every seat is also a great seat. A friend tipped us t... read more
