I love this theater! Free easy parking right downtown. Amazing cocktails and great vegan selection on the menu. Service has always been stellar. Best of all, a wide selection of independent movies you might not see anywhere else in Austin.

We had so much fun on our first visit to the Violet Crown Cinema last night! I wasn't sure what to expect after reading the mix of reviews, but was pleasantly surprised! It is a bit "swanky" for a movie theatre, but I'm not going to complain about that :) Such a pretty view outside! My fiancé and I didn't try the food or the drinks but definitely will next time. Our friends said it was all really good! I do think that you should eat dinner at one of the tables beforehand and bring snacks/drinks into the theatre as there isn'... read more

Hummus and Pita. Theatre clean and fun. The lounge with great seats to hang out before the movie. The guys are polite, can talk movies and are kind of nice I love these kinds of experiences. Adds to the layers of Austin for me...

I tried to reserve tickets online, but then I called the guy and he was like "oh here cancel your order so I can see them" and I was like okay sure and then he was like "okay I see them" and then Stacy interrupted him or something, probably important, but anyway then he gets back on the phone, and says "oh they're gone someone must of grabbed them" that could have been me. But it wasn't? So moral of the story, I'm not seeing a movie there tonight but I still respect them a lot? Maybe one day?

As a diehard Alamo fan, I've always had a special place in my heart for Violet Crown. It feels like a luxury at-home cinema instead of a movie theater. It's a completely different experience and shouldn't be compared to other theaters in town. We arrived about an hour before our movie, so we could enjoy food and drinks at the bar. The food was phenomenal. I had the Chicago dog, which included an all-beef sausage with pickles, tomatoes and peppers. I rarely crave hotdogs, but this one will be a go-to when I'm coming down wi... read more

Just another reason to love the movie scene in Austin. Violet Crown is a gem and offers many films you can't find anywhere else. We especially enjoyed seeing a documentary and the shorts that were nominated for Oscars this year, along with a fantastic foreign film. Comfy seating throughout but if you can snag a front row seat, you also get an ottaman! Parking is easy and the menu and bar offers good variety to enjoy more than just the usual popcorn and soft drink. Skip the metroplex and all the big budget Hollywood fare... read more

Violet Crown Cinema is a one of a kind theater. Their food is creative and varied. The staff is on the ball and always ready to help. I like the theater so much I guestion if I need to see a movie if it isn't showing at VCC. I come early and take advantage of their relaxed "coffee shop" like atmosphere.

Violet Crown might be one of the coolest cinemas we've ever been to. Situated on the first floor in the middle of Austin, the theater already has its location going for it. And when entering it, you'll notice that they've totally got the nonchalant ambiance covered as well. On the right is a chic lounge-y bar area that serves great cocktails and, in true Austin fashion, the beer selection is exactly on point, and they have an outdoor balcony. Waiting for one's movie to start was never this comfortable. Like the bar area, th... read more

What a great place to experience a movie...you can grab a bite before at their cafe or bring what you ordered into the theater...they have a great bar. Oh, you can reserve your seat in advance and those seats are comfortable!
