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!

What a cute local theater!! The vibe is great - front the walk up the stairs, a view over the trees, and a welcoming lobby. The staff was so personable as well. We started with a few beers and queso while we waited for our movie to seat! All was great and ordered a popcorn to enjoy during the film (very good - not too buttery like some). I'd be interested to try the first row as looked like some comfy seats. My only complaint is a few chairs looked like they could use some TLC - but overall can't wait to come again!

This is a my favorite cinema . Mainly , because Kenny , the manager is so kind and personable everything I go there . I also love how their popcorn is cooked in coconut oil and they use real butter . This is the only cinema I will eat popcorn at while watching the movie . The comfy seats in the first row are my goto:))))

The Violet Crown Cinema tends to get overlooked, as it's tucked away on the strip of West 2nd. This theater has a few screening rooms and offers limited seating, which makes you feel more exclusive and makes the experience feel more personable. Parking - street parking is available, but why stress about parking, when you can park in a garage and get your parking ticket validated (AKA FREE).
