Bonus, the Arlington Drafthouse is around the corner. Grab a few tacos and then go watch a comedy show. Great time all around!

Went just recently and not for a release showing, I do believe it was on a Thursday, granted it was around 7. I've been when it's slow and no one is in the theater, where I feel like staff doesn't care cause no one's in the theater, and I've been when it's busy and it feels like the staff aren't trained well and show their ass. I typically give a spot multiple tries, I completely understand folks have a bad day or things just aren't clicking, so I go multiple times. It's just that when I go multiple times and 85% of the time I have a pretty bad experience, time for a new spot. Love Alamo Drafthouse, just not this one.

I'm envious of your experience at the DC location.

Same, live about 10mins away from this location, have been multiple times and what you're describing is my experience just about every time. Do what I did, find a new theater to go to. And this isn't my experience, with all Alamo Drafthouse locations, just this one.

Only ever had them in bars when I lived in Baltimore, blew my mind when I was served a natty boh 40. Might have to go to Baltimore if you're looking for bottles.
