Alamo Drafthouse Cinema New Mission

Alamo Drafthouse New Mission occupies a restored historic theater on Mission Street, and reviewers consistently call out the building itself — ornate and well-preserved, worth a look even before the movie starts. It offers reserved recliners (recently reupholstered chain-wide), a full bar, and the seat-side app ordering typical of Alamo locations now. Screens run on the smaller side for the format, though reviewers say picture and sound hold up well. Longtime visitors say the menu has narrowed since a change in ownership, cutting vegetarian options that used to be a draw, with food and drinks now carrying an automatic charge close to 20%. Two people should budget $60-90 with food and drinks given SF pricing.
