But there are a couple things Flix does way better than their competitor that I noticed immediately.
We ordered the specialty cocktail they offered for IT (can't recall the catchy name) and it was delicious. Disappointed in the 18% gratuity automatically added to the bill (I failed to notice it so I overtipped....I'm not alone on this). This is my new home to go catch a flick. They serve them with a spicy jelly sauce that compliments them nicely. By then everyone was out in the lobby waiting for me to get my card back. I believe the chairs in the front rows fully recline but I can't confirm since we sat in row E. I liked how the tables in our row pull in towards you. I'm not really a fan of scary movies. I also didn't like the automatic 18% tip they added and they did state we could say something but I just didn't want to seem cheap so I just left it, but I do think they should give the customers the option to put their own tip. Some beers are better than others but overall the beers are solid.
While we know the summer heat can be quite a lot to deal with, we don't want to freeze anyone out. There is no standing in line for food or concessions, so that's a plus. By now I just curious why I hadn't even gotten our appetizer but assumed it would come out soon enough. No awkward sharing table space with your neighbor in THIS movie theatre. Cheers! We enjoyed coming for a variety of reasons. Lunch menu is typical "pub" fair but a bit expensive ($12+ per). They smelled delicious, but I think they stayed in the oven a tad too long because they were a little hard and crumbly, not fresh and soft like I prefer.
It's just that Flix is way better.Did you know there's a sliding table for each and every seat in the theatre? Check it out, ya'll!
So odd that they were greatly inconsistent.
Chanel, we appreciate your feedback! We look forward to seeing you again soon and earning some additional stars based on those experiences. I will come back for the brew and pizza. He was running around with a lot to do but we still received amazing service.
I was interested in trying their chocolate tuxedo cake but I got too full.

That makes a helluva lot more sense than shoving a piece of paper in a slot and hoping the server somehow sees this in pitch darkness like Alamo does.Sorry if it sounds like I'm talking smack about Alamo. Waitress service. Service was great as well! We will be back to give them another try and hopefully I can update my review with a full 5 stars. Flix does have both internal controls and third-party inspections regarding the cleanliness and healthy food preparation environments that are conducted regularly. Thanks. Would I recommend this place? First time I visited The Alamo on North Mesa, I kept hearing about how it barely compares to Flix Brewhouse. The manager (wyatt) comes storming up the ramp & demands we leave & never come back. On total tonight I spent $106 for dinner and movie tickets. My husband says that's fine as soon as you fix the salad or refund us. )” in 12 reviews, “The Nebulas IPA is delicious and isn't too over-the-top for those who don't enjoy their usual overwhelming bitterness.” in 2 reviews, “I also enjoyed the moving tables that sit in front of you because you can push it back and forth to your comfort.” in 3 reviews. Tried three dishes which were ok., no way close to Alamo house food. I was speechless. The food is actually pretty good, however I did have to wait twenty minutes for a sprite which I thought was a bit ridiculous. I highly recommend Flix! This definitely isn't a place where I would come regularly. We reserved a whole row between 3 families.
The shocker is an 18% service charge added to everything served. They automatically charge 18 percent gratuity. The 18% gratuity can be removed if you feel as though your service was lacking. 203 reviews of Flix Brewhouse "Soft opening for the new theatre! I swear it had been over an hour until the popcorn hit the table. Can you let us know when you visited and what beer you had by emailing ELPinfo@flixbrewhouse.com? We hope to earn that fifth star next time! 3/13/2020Dang, it's great to hear you enjoy our beer and tuxedo cake! They gave me a margarita with salt when I ordered without salt took a half hour for them to fix that for bullshit. First time I visited The Alamo on North Mesa, I kept hearing about how it barely compares to Flix Brewhouse. Conni, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy our prices.
But if I had a craving for a variety of beer and super crispy fries, I'd go again (if possible, I'd order at concessions to avoid the added 18% service fee). They also have a service button you can push to have your server come out and grab you order on a piece of paper while your movie is playing. Highly overpriced! I will say the double pepperoni pizza is one of the best pies in AZ. It starts off similar with the whole writing your order on a piece of paper to maintain silence during the movie and all that. The last person to Ofer got her food with in minutes (chicken & waffles) it was a microwaveable dish. $5 Wednesday's movie! Like with our beer, you have the option of upgrading to an Imperial pint giving you an additional 4 oz. My husband and I came in yesterday and Jake was our server. I know that they just opened so I didn't worry about it too much. The seats were comfortable, service was excellent, and price was as expected - reasonably expensive. 2/24/2020Sandra, it's great to hear Josh really took care of you and your brother. It's definitely an interesting place to people watch. We'd like to let you know that recently we've eliminated the 18% service charge. See all photos from jessie a. for Flix Brewhouse. Wrote a note to the server asking where our popcorn was after 30 mins into the movie thinking they forgot and they just took the note and ran off. Thanks again. Cheers! You go sit and place your order from the comfort of your recliner. Let me start of by saying this place is expensive AF! Went to see a movie here on a Wednesday night. There is now just a small surcharge to support increased wages, allowing our guests to tip as they would at any other restaurant. But it will definitely be put on the date night list. 10/04/14 for my wedding and 09/20/14 for my bridal shower. An employee cane and assisted us if we needed it.3. By then everyone was out in the lobby waiting for me to get my card back. We hope you'll give us another try in the future. 11 other reviews that are not currently recommended. I may try the buffalo wings next time around.I'd like to take this time to issue a very important caveat to you all: there's only one set of restrooms in the entire theatre; on the 1 thru 4 side of the theatre. 9/12/2019Hi Charlene,Thanks for coming to check us out this weekend! The atmosphere is welcoming, the reclining seats are comfy and as I've already stated the food was great.
Maybe not a big deal when 2 people, but if you go there with a family, like 5-6, and no student discount it was an extremely overpriced , underwhelming food , night out with family! -Popcorn was good, but comes in a bag like Cinemark, but doesn't allow refills like Cinemark and Alamo do. It's like a white queso with hatch chilies and a distinctive seasoning that makes it stand out.
We reserved a whole row between 3 families. I ended up going to the Flix two nights, one for a soft opening, and the second for the official opening for the showing of It: Chapter 2.
They go back pretty far which is great for me! Last, be careful of seat #7 in the 4th row, there is not much of a table to eat on. I'll pass your suggestion of Baltimore on to our real estate team for you! It was strong and dark. We walked in clueless on the new concept and he gave us the red carpet tour. It's great to hear you enjoyed our beer and mac and cheese. I loved that they had a free fun photo booth with IT 2 pics you could take and have sent digitally to your phone. I read the reviews before I got tickets and boy was I happy I did. Andrew, sounds like you had a great time! This theater opened around the corner from the house so we decided to check it out. We really wanted to love Flix, and the bar area is cool and inviting. (AD ASTRA...Wait for TV)Anyway! We hope to see you soon!
Finally my appetizer & food come out together (completely cold) I asked my husband & he agreed but we were starving so we just ate. We would welcome any feedback that would make this more clear before ordering.Also we'd like to explain a little behind why we do this. Do yourself a favor and go to the Alamo Draft-house where they know how to treat their customers. Now that's service!
