Movie Premiere Party at Alamo Drafthouse Chicago
This past weekend I was invited to a movie party at Alamo Drafthouse, a cinematic theater located in Wrigleyville, to view the new movie Cocaine Bear. Their movie party was unique and nothing like any other movie outings I’ve been to! The experience included foam bear claw props, short clips from old bear-related films, a real-time obstacle course that two guests volunteered to participate in, a dine-in menu, and great laughs. If you like gory comedies set in the 80s, Cocaine Bear is the movie for you. The staff was on-top of things, the seats were comfortable and spacious, and ordering food and drink was very easy.

Alamo Drafthouse Chicago Food & Drink
Ordering from Alamo Drafthouse’s food and drink menu was super easy. You don’t even have to get up! Each seat comes with a menu and a fill-out card to write down your order. Once written, you place the card in its designated slot and push a button to let the staff know that you are ready to order. They will then come over and confirm that the items on your card are available. Ready food is brought to your seat tray shortly after. I ordered the pepperoni pizza and a Mexican vanilla shake – it was delicious! Something to note: their pizza sauce is a little spicy.
What They Serve
The food and drink menu at Alamo Drafthouse Chicago is not like your regular movie theater options. The selections are pretty extensive, including appetizers and full-meal selections. Their food menu includes items like churro popcorn, pickle fries, buffalo cauliflower, avocado toast, pizza, wings, sandwiches, burgers, and more. Offered drinks include beer, margaritas, wine, and signature cocktails.
