Alamo Drafthouse offers free refills. Who knew?
Apparently I have not been getting to the bottom of my sodas at the Alamo Drafthouse fast enough of late, or not reading the fine print, to notice that the beloved Austin institution now offers free refills on its $3.99 sodas.
My attention was brought to the matter during an ACL-related comment back-and-forth on Austinist. Thanks, Seth, for the heads up. The folks at the Alamo told me they’ve been offering the refills “for some time” but did not offer an exact date.
So, while I am not condoning drinking hundreds upon hundreds of empty calories at the next screening you attend (nor am I going all New York City Health Department on you), I just figured, if you’re like me and love popcorn and soda at the movies, you should have as much information as possible the next time you hit the Alamo.
And, before anyone complains about paying $3.99 fro a bottomless soda, have you seen the prices at the multiplex lately?

Did you just order a four-dollar soda?
Sure did.
A soda? Syrup, soda and ice?
Uh-huh.
It costs four dollars?
Yep.
You don’t put bourbon in it or anything?
Alamo staff: Nope but you get free refills.
