Alas, it seems that is the case. I'm really surprised that other types of theaters are even still in business. The Alamo is the one thing that I miss about Austin.

You can bring drinks into the theater's to watch the movie. They have a small bar stand in the lobby as well as the larger one and they give you wrist bands Just not kids movies I think and probably depends on time.

We also have Studio Movie Grill at various locations. There is one in Wheaton and other areas. They always seem to have groupons for this.

Studio Movie Grill in Wheaton. Always a Groupon available for $5 tickets. There is a bar in the lobby for pre/post movie drinks. You can order more drinks and/or food from your seat in the theater. Servers are friendly and the seats and tables are really comfortable.
