Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Charlottesville

A cinema-and-dining venue at the Merchant Walk shopping district south of the city, where food and drink are served to your seat during the film and a strict no-talking, no-phones policy is actually enforced. Reclining seats, a full bar, and a programme that mixes new releases with themed repertory screenings.

Ordering is now handled through your phone, which is slightly at odds with the house rules, but the experience is still a cut above a standard multiplex.
