Alamo Drafthouse Cinema

Top choice in The Mission, Dogpatch & Potrero Hill

Staff deliver microbrews and tasty fare to plush banquette seats, so you don't miss a moment of premieres, cult revivals (especially Music Mondays) or SF favorites, from Mrs Doubtfire to Dirty Harry – often with filmmaker Q&As.
