Alameda Theatre & Cineplex

Nice comfy theater where you can dine in! Ordered Wicked themed drinks before our movie in the Cinema Grill next to the theater, and they allowed us to bring it in a to-go cup as we headed to our showing. We got the glinda and elphaba drink. They have themed foods / drinks depending on the movie, I suggest checking on their instagram @alamedatheatres to see what their specials are before going. Food was delicious and fresh! Enjoyed watching the movie with nice cushiony reclined chairs while sipping on my themed drink!

The service wasn't the best but it's historical and massive! The decorations were on point! My daughter loved it!

Love love this place, my new fav!! I ordered my food at the bar and the staff there was really sweet! There was a bit of a mix up with my order but they were really kind and gave me a free dessert on the side, had a great experience, love the bar (live music as well), will definitely come back! They have reclined seats and are really comfy btw

Love love love this theater. It's beautiful! And that's the reason I'm keeping it at 5 stars. I want them to thrive. I have been coming here at least once a week for 15 years. This is a message for the management and owners, if they are listening: You need to work with your staff on customer service!!! Seriously! This has been a problem for far too long! Being friendly, and being aware is not difficult. That is the foundation of customer service. Teach them! Before it's too late.

We went as a group to watch the new Beetlejuice movie and bought tickets online for the luxury seats that recline. The movie and theatre experience was great, but I didn't know that you had to preorder all of your food ahead of time to actually enjoy food from the restaurant in the premium seats. I wish it was like the other movie theatre Cinepolis where you pressed a button and the servers came to take your order in real time for any food or beverage options. I don't get why they set it up like this honestly. Big miss

Finally checked out this cinema in Alameda! We purchased our Aquaman 2 movie tickets online. No wait to enter. Quick scan and we were on our way. As soon as we entered, the high ceiling was incredible! There were a ton of live size movie characters aligned upstairs near the balcony. Very cool! The line for food and drinks were pretty long, but moved quickly. If you're only getting beer and wine, there's a separate line on the far left. There wasn't a wait, but probably because people didn't know about the line. We didn't like the beer options there so we headed to the attached restaurant/bar to the cinema. There was a door that went straight to the bar.. almost like a secret hallway and door! We ordered popcorn and two beers and they asked if we wanted it now or delivered to our seats. Well, why not! We got our order delivered so we could walk around and stop by the restaurant. Service was great! No wait!Restrooms were clean!We loved our experience! Will definitely go back for our next movie date :) If you're in the Alameda area, you need to check out this cinema. Right in the heart of their downtown.

I went to see Wicked at this theater, and the sound was only working from the front speakers, not any of the dozens of side or back speakers. A huge part of any theater experience is Dolby 5:1, and the sound was muffled, low, and one-directional. For a sweeping, epic musical like Wicked, this technical issue should have prompted the management to cancel the showing or move it to a working theater. When I asked the theater's manager about this problem, she rather unpleasantly said there was nothing she could do about it, and then she was kind of rude about refunding my tickets. In this age of home theaters, no movie theater can afford to have bad audio quality AND bad customer service. Yes, the building is charming and historic, but that is not nearly enough to make me go back and try this again.

The staff is pretty solid now and I am very happy. The new ticket system where you can scan your code to get your tickets is so convenient. I like that there is still a person there to say hi to you and make sure that everything is good. The concessions stand is always on point and they are always friendly. The theaters are always super clean too. I love spending money here.

When its 5 min till showtime and you have a line behind you, you can be forgiven if you leap at bad seats because the teller's liittle chart is incomprehensible. But reclining seats are nice.

Classic feel, comfortable seats,easy nearby parking, clean, downtown location, good film choices.
