Such a cute little local theater! The staff are friendly and kind. I’ve only been to their drive-in movies during the COVID-19 pandemic, but my husband has been before on a regular basis and really enjoys it. The prices are GREAT for a movie theater, and it such a fun atmosphere. I definitely will continue coming back!

Our family loves this place. We go at least once a year. Take lawn chairs or blankets. They have an area where you can sit outside by the concession stands. The concession stand has a surprising selection (nachos, hot dogs, as well as popcorn and candy). It is fun to step back in time and our family has had nothing but good memories here.

Love the Angelika. They show a lot of independent and lesser known art films but also some mainstream movies. The thing that impresses me most is the audience is respectful of the movie going experience much more so than in the larger chain cinemas. Really like the occasional British National Theatre productions of filmed stage plays. If you like cinema as an art form, the Angelika is the place to be!

Violet Crown Cinema

Reviewed By pdsixty8 - Austin, United States

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 drink choices. I ordered Grilled Cheese and a local draft beer. There is plenty of seating and even though can take your food with you in the cinema. The lobby bar is a great place to hang out. This is an artsy move theater where today we were seeing ‘1917’. The theaters are reasonably small but has great comfy chairs that recline. The sound and video are top notch. Once this virus outbreak dissipates will once again return.
