This was my first time at Violet Crown and watched Black Widow. The space was clean and well lit. Loved the vanilla iced coffee and got plenty of snacks. Theater is a lot smaller than an AMC which I enjoyed. $24 - 2 candies, 2 coffees, 2 waters $32 for 2 tickets. Parking validated for Amli on 2nd if you drive

The Violet Crown Cinema is a really cool place to experience films. It is in the heart of Second Street District where before or after the movie you can walk around checking out boutique shops and local eateries. There are a few parking garages nearby where one provides free parking for four hours and can enter on San Antonio Street between 2nd & 3rd Streets. I parked at Austin City Hall garage. We arrived early to our show so we could enjoy lunch at their cafe/bar. The place supports local businesses with food and drin... read more

I'm almost embarrassed to admit this was my first visit to Violet Crown. But I'll gladly tell you that it won't be my last. We attended the showing of the 2020 Oscar-nominated Animated Shorts last night and had a great time. The theatre has a full bar as well as an assortment of eats and soft beverages. There isn't table service, so go early enough to grab your goodies and bring them to your seats. We grabbed a bite next door at Numero 28 so did not get to sample the food at VC but the bar drinks were tasty. There are, I ... read more

Violet Crown is a great little theater in downtown not too far from the Willie Nelson statue at Moody. It has a place to order snacks & cocktails, spots to sit at the bar and a longe area. There is a self serve ticket kiosk when you walk in. I was here for a lionsgate screening to see "I still believe" and it was a great movie; very moving. Go see it when it comes out in March. The staff is friendly and social, the establishment looks clean and quaint, and the theaters have cushion chairs that go back a bit which makes it ... read more

Oh man this place is great! I didn't even know we had a luxury cinema in Downtown until someone told me about it. It's so hidden you would never even know it's there, and to me that's part of the appeal. They validate parking which is obviously a must in Downtown. Special shoutout to Cole at the bar for being awesome!

This is a great boutique cinema in downtown Austin. To pass some time until our evening flight home, we decided to watch a movie here, and it was a nice time spent. Violet Crown Cinema has its own style and flair, making it stand out from chain cinemas. Once you enter the cinema, you purchase tickets on a screen right by the door, which was easy to use. Then there's a seating area where you can wait until you're allowed into the theater section, as there's a screen that indicates the countdown until you can enter the the... read more

This is not your traditional movie theater - meaning it's not like a traditional big name theater. Violet Crown is smaller and has a bit of an upscale flair to it. They offer parking validation for up to 4 hours in the garage, which has easy access to the theater. You'll likely want to arrive early or stay late as there's a comfortable lounge and bar area in the lobby. You'll wait here until seating begins for your movie - an easy way to grab a drink or snack before it starts. I don't think there is a bad seat in the theater... read more

The lead here was super nice. I messed up when purchasing our tickets online. He was super understanding without even having to explain too much to him, he took care of us. It was exceptional? Bartenders were pretty nice as well. The crown fries with the aioli were delicious!!
