Nice, comfortable stadium seating paired with the small, intimate venue setting is a great escape from the normal cinemas. We visited the Violet Crown for the first time over the weekend to see A Most Wanted Man (side bar; it's a must see as it was suspense filled. Philip Seymour Hoffman at his best. So sad that it was his last work). I'm certain the Violet Crown will become one of our regular hang outs. Full bar and plenty of choices regarding food. To make matters even better the popcorn is bottomless and parking is fr... read more

I had never heard of this little jewel of a theater until my son Anthony told me about it. Conveniently located downtown and next to a parking garage, I was more than happy with the courteous and attentive staff as well as what they have to offer. A dining area beside the bar, which from what I hear, makes great drinks. I seldom drink but I plan to return with a date and enjoy a bottle of wine. They also have a nice menu for food and a concessions area for some tasty treats, try the shake please. The waiter was very polit... read more

This is a great movie venue. Incredibly comfortable - way better than the chair in my living room. Each theater is pretty small, but it's because they give you plenty of space in La-Z-Boy type comfort. If it were an airline, it would be first class (on a domestic flight). Nice bar. Great service.

Best place to catch indie films in Austin! Definitely not iPic, but nicest theatre downtown! Get there early for appetizers and drinks before you head in the theatre or you can take them in. There's not as much space to relax, eat and watch the movie as other dine in theaters but the location can't be beat!

Great theater -- with a consistently horrible experience. Canceling tickets is a project unlike canceling tickets at any other theater. You are required to accept all of their cookies in order to get past their app and web pop-ups -- which you must do in order to be able to buy a ticket and which I believe is illegal. They send spam, even if you don't opt-in to it. Their management is unresponsive and MIA -- and even ignore emails sent to the email address on their website.

Very rude staff. They don't post their movie offerings until sometimes less than a week beforehand. Only update the website with offerings on Thursdays, and the manager refuses to even get on the phone when you call to ask about upcoming shows. I love the theater but won't return because of the rudeness of the staff, and their inability to get their act together to notify the public about what their upcoming shows are in a reasonable advance manner.

Terrible service and terrible mold. Huge safety hazard. This place should be shut down because of this. This is ridiculous

Men's room reeks of urine and the smell is noticeable in auditorium #1. $16 for a matinee ticket? Staff indifferent, directed to a self service kiosk to purchase a ticket that had a barely functional receipt printer that was out of paper. This place seems to aspire to be an upscale experience. They are failing.
