04/16/2014 - Alamo Draft House Announces Grand Opening

Austin, TX--- Wednesday, April 17, 2013--- Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas is pleased to announce plans to open its first Lubbock area location with franchise partner Triple Tap Ventures LLC. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Lubbock will be located in the North Slide Square center at 5200 North Loop 289.

The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Lubbock will be a state-of-the art theater with eight screens. Each auditorium will be equipped with state-of-the-art Digital and RealD 3D projection (plus 35mm projection in select auditoriums). In addition to the superior AV equipment, the layout of each auditorium eliminates the traditional front rows, ensuring every seat in the house allows for an optimal viewing experience. Construction and site work commenced over sixty days ago and this location will be opened well in advance of the summer movie season next year.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Lubbock will also feature an adjacent stand-alone bar named Glass Half Full that will focus on quality, original and classic cocktails and a large selection of world-class draft and bottled beers. This bar and lounge space will offer patrons an inviting place to socialize whether they are waiting for a movie or just catching a drink with friends.

“With over 30,000 college students in three universities, a steady economy, a trade area of nearly 500,000 people, the Lubbock community was a clear choice to become home to an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. This great community with its vibrant art and academic culture is a perfect setting to bring Alamo’s unique entertainment experience. The location at North Slide and Loop 289 will put the theatre at a location convenient to the Texas Tech Campus.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema combines food, drinks, films and events all under one roof. It is a unique combination of movie theater and restaurant, showing first-run features, family movies, independent films and specially programmed events with an extensive menu of drinks and made-from-scratch food available in every auditorium and at all shows. Servers attend to all customer needs quietly throughout the movie. The company has been heralded for their high exhibition standards, unique programming and events earning accolades like “Best Theater Ever” (Time Magazine) and “the coolest theater in the world” (Wired).
