Amazing theatre I’ve been to that has 5 dollar Tuesdays movie tickets popcorn and drinks. What more can you ask for seriously. The seats are adjustable to legs and arms. I recommend to bring friends and family here. 10/10 experience but with basketball season I also highly recommend avoiding it during game days since the lobby gets very crowded and loud with cow bells going off but it’s not just the games, sometimes you can hear other movies from the other side of the walls which isn’t a big deal to me, you get what you pay for. Other then that the employees are always helpful and kind and restrooms are always clean. Snacks like hotdogs, pickles, and Mexican candy are also there as well! 🙌

Debated between giving this theater 2 or 3 stars, but ultimately decided on 3 only because the seats were extremely comfortable and the full-service bar was a nice touch. Aaliyah, our bartender, was very sweet and provided great customer service throughout the night. Unfortunately, the negatives outweighed the positives. After ordering our drinks, we decided to get some food. I ordered mozzarella sticks and a salted pretzel. When the mozzarella sticks arrived, they had a strong odor that smelled like old grease mixed with burnt plastic, which was honestly concerning. I try not to be overly dramatic, so I gave them a chance and took a bite anyway. Unsurprisingly, they tasted exactly how they smelled. I even had my friend try one just to make sure I wasn’t overreacting, and she agreed they were completely inedible. I let the bartender know, and she kindly offered to replace them with something else. I decided to get another soft pretzel since it seemed hard to mess up a pretzel. Unfortunately, after one bite, it was obvious the pretzel was extremely stale — honestly one of the stalest pretzels I’ve ever had. I was able to stop the bartender before another one was brought out and instead just asked for a small bag of popcorn as a replacement for the mozzarella sticks. At that point, I didn’t even bother mentioning the pretzel because I didn’t want to be a hassle. But then came the popcorn — the one thing movie theaters are known for. Somehow, this was also stale. Which was confusing because the lobby smelled like fresh popcorn when we walked in. I genuinely don’t know how we ended up with popcorn that tasted like it had been sitting out for days. Again, I didn’t want to keep complaining, so I just dealt with it. My friend ordered a corn dog and corn in a cup. We waited about 25 minutes for those items, despite them being ordered at the same time as everything else. By then, our movie had already started, so a staff member ended up bringing the food directly into the theater. Thankfully, both of her items were edible. Visually, the theater itself looked very clean and modern. However, when we sat down, there was an immediate odor that smelled like vomit. In hindsight, it may have been old beer that hadn’t been cleaned properly, but either way, the smell was unpleasant enough to notice immediately. Overall, the comfortable seating and friendly bartender were the highlights of the experience, but the food quality and odor issues really overshadowed everything else. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’d recommend this theater.

They are always clean, kind and friendly. I love that they have many different screen times and the seats are very comfy. Snacks are good and at a decent/relatable price. It is pretty cool that they have collectors popcorn containers for certain movies available for purchase. My kids love going there, my parents love going there, I very much enjoy going to this theater.

Went to see bendito corazon. Had a good time. Comfortable seats and loud surround sound so you don't hear other people talking during the movie. Clean restrooms. The staff greeted us and made us feel welcomed.

Chairs are GOD awful. If you value your back spend your money elsewhere. I go to the theater and pay my hard earned money for expensive tickets to sit in a relaxing chair that I can lean back and kick my feet up in, not some hard airplane seat with no way to lean back. Worst theater in San Antonio for sure. Also, How are you gonna be on the southside claiming to be part of our community and yet charging such outrageous prices for popcorn and a soda. Highway robbery. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Spend your money at a high end theater and actually get a nice seat. Same price in the end anyway.
